How Systemic Inequality Leads To More People Of Color Dying From Coronavirus | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
The virus is racist . The virus belongs in jail lol
@knowthingman No, Chinese are inherently racist and xenophobic. That’s not a blanket statement that ALL are, but most
@kroey221 sorry I forgot the /s
I just assume that everyone is now aware that accusations of racism are obvious trolling anymore lol
The virus is not politically correct and has offended me!
No….but the tards at MSNBC certainly are.
And they are laughing at you & MSNBC. As most do…
They want us divided from one another. I don’t know how people can’t see this.
..nwo is not going to win youre right. It’s master is already a defeated foe.
This country has always been divided by race and class. When have we ever all been just ‘Americans’? I am asking because I would like to hear and understand your point of view.
Well that’s how America has always been clearly. That reality about the virus accentuates the division even more on how some communities in America are ignored and left behind. So I don’t think you should act like it’s something new. America was built on division and over the past 4 years with the liar-in-chief in the WH it became more than obvious. Trump’s voters cal call themselves the silent people or whatever but actually they are actually the dormant racist people…
@Jo So did Alex Jones.
Trump was doing a good job of it coronavirius just helping him further you and him agenda
u had to make this a racial thing
@EMNAWALA YASHARALA blah blah blah….. the bible has been rewritten so many times over, that it is now a book that favors different authors points of view.
@Lando 🚼🚼🐊🐊🐊
Here in the UK, doctors have found that people of colour do appear to have a higher death rate. The reason? Obesity and the likelihood that there is a different genetic influence.
@TakingItEasy
Genesis25:23 (KJV)
23 And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
@TakingItEasy
2 Corinthians 10:4 (KJV)
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
How about some science for a change: anyone looked at the vit. d levels instead of correlation of political slants
I bet all the vitamin D and all other supplements come from China!!!!!
@konstantinethegr8 Yiah since U.S for all the Luxury it speaks loves Cheap stuff in mass. Most Capitalist nations do Japan even prides itself as being a mass production economy just producing junk endlessly even though we live in a limited resource setting as long as we can’t Mine and Access spaces resources. All those mid power economies are headed for a great stall if we keep draining resources like this.
My 23&me genotyping results pointed towards several vit d related allele variants (more than the average person). I feel like taking daily vit d has helped me in so many ways.
Ive heard time and time again that vitamin d should be taken during the pandemic. Kind of ironic because blacks are usually vitamin d deficient. Darker skin, takes longer to make vitamin d from sun. Also, magnesium is needed to activate vitamin d in the body.
@The Real Tijuanaman “These People” Put your white sheet away boy.
Good thing I’m a wealthy white male. 😂
THER00BILLZ Wow did that one go over your head?
Buy some cutco from me lol
DC Dial I already have a bunch of cutco.
Get Money darn business is bad for me ): lol
DC Dial sorry to hear that haha good luck
How weird having the three Ws interviewing this young lady.
randomass either way that’s a higher percentage than I initially thought.
@cory f no problem, king
You did see that the numbers of the population was an estimate. So how could anything fom an estimate be right. I can walk through my city and more than 14% are from another country.
cghill1080 it’s not only impractical, but it’s impossible to count every single person individually. Thanks for pointing out the most obvious fact that it’s estimated. *round of applause*
@cghill1080 It’s an estimate of today based on the 2010 census. Also demographics are different from city to city.
This is a whole new level of reaching..
Ashton it’s not about the healthcare it’s because they didn’t social distance I drove through the inner city in Florida when the social distancing orders had ramped up the hood was poppin people next to each other and everything while the rest of the city was literally a ghost town
@christian it’s also about how closely packed the people in lower class neighborhoods are in comparison to suburban neighborhoods
@Jon Da God KEEP THAT JABA JIVE TO YOURSELF!
Lando well if you stay in you’re dwelling it wouldn’t matter these people were hanging out drinking and smoking together sitting next close to people at bus stops when they could have stood they had no regard for this virus
@A I’m fully aware of that being a fact that minorities are at higher risk due to no healthcare. I’m one of them a mixed blasian who doesn’t have healthcare. My point is is that this virus doesn’t have to be and isn’t a racial thing. Everybody is at risk with about 70% of the country out of work this is a major problem for everybody no matter the race.
In conclusion: We NEED more gibs from whitey so we can stop dying of rona
Whatever it takes to defeat this virus but this ain’t about the system more a less since yiah health wise our system sucks but prior to it the Hoods weren’t famous for being clean and health conscious.
Call ot ccp virus
Always need a good stretch in the early morning
lmao!
@NUBY Beats you must be the boyfriend. 😂😂😂
said the little white boy afraid of the angry masses coming for his nice stuff
So the virus is racist now.
Y’all are gonna loose this election so hard.
Lando yea ik this I was just being pointing out it’s not a race problem because if it was why is a minority dying the least it’s about people being healthy
No America is racist. In Europe, there is no difference between whites and blacks dying because everyone has equal access to universal healthcare.
Why do you think that ONLY in the USA is it killing double the number of blacks if it is not because blacks do not get the same healthcare?
Robert J. Williamson blacks get the same care it’s because they have more underlying conditions because of diet and lifestyle and Europe is a lot more racist than America
@konstantinethegr8 Not true!
@Robert J. Williamson I might be because America has WAY more blacks than Europe
DA NOOS SAY GIBS ME DAT WHITEY *COUGH COUGH*
“Color” 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Here we go again with the BS. What a moronic take.
-systemic- *INHERENT BIOLOGICAL*
Brett Reeves ?
When death, sickness and economic collapse arent enough ,just remember the race card.
How is this race card? Can you explain with detailed arguments please?
@JR N every liberal media pundit and cumo,Deblasio , shitcago mayor all claiming blacks are hit harder by virus because of their underlying conditions in which they balme whites.
Im soooo sorry i made them eat ribs and drink koolaid.
Ffs
Take some responsibility for yourselves for once.
JR N because they are using a virus to further blame whites for having “white privilege” when in reality whites are the most oppressed group in america
BigT Bruh..
“Let’s use this epidemic to be racist!”
JR N Breaking News: WOW SOMEONE JUST MADE AN ASSUMPTION I WAS RIGHT WING BECAUSE I DISAGREE WITH THE NARRATIVE BEING PUSHED
JR N yo it’s fine to acknowledge the data but the narrative being pushed here is the problem, it’s divisive
@Sichael Mcott The data is absolutely not different from the narrative: poor neighborhoods that happened to be mainly black/latino are disproportionately impacted because of decades of inefficient and racist politics whereas white wealthy men happen to be less impacted…Where’s the lie? What is divisive is attacking the messenger while being completely oblivious to the message because it’s easier to whine about the media than acknowledging the data and ask yourself what we can do as a society to change things moving forward. No instead all you want to do is cry crocodile tears and tell yourself lies like we are usually so unified when so many of our fellow citizens live in poverty. You are complicit and part of the problem because the word race makes you feel uncomfortable so you’d rather ignore this issue altogether.
@Sichael Mcott It’s not an assumption, it’s a fact that you’re right wing…only right wing fools would think it’s ok to whine about facts, data and injustices impacting minorities and blame the media for talking about it. Right wing division playbook 101/Trump playbook 101.
@JR N I think the issue is that these people see through the pathetic facade. Whether the information this channel puts out is factual or not, it has become blatantly obvious that some force, namely, whomever is signing the paychecks of MSM, Hollywood, much of the federal government and many, many NGO’s that deem themselves the progenitors of social justice & equality, is engaged in a very deliberate and devious effort to keep America, as a whole, divided against it’s self.
Beware of those who will tell you “the question is answered” “the time for debate is over” or “We can’t talk to those people because they are unreasonable” Beware of those who shy away from diplomacy and promote the use of force.
It’s still hard for many to accept, that there is a deliberate effort, by a relatively small group of wealthy people, to destroy the ideals that inspired the Magna Carta, The U.S. constitution, The Non-aggression principal, etc, etc. And, in their own words, form a new order of the ages that is based on a feudalistic society. …meaning serfs, lords and kings.
Don’t get me wrong, I think that a world ruling body to settle disputes between nations and regions can be a great step towards world peace, but those who are currently in charge of that effort, want to take away your & my free agency and our ability to determine our path in life. Fake racism is just one of the tactics they use to keep us divided, because united we are unstoppable. …except for the ACTUAL devoted racist, neo-nazi types. Those fools are going to have to learn to get along or move away to some little island or something. lol …crazy relics.
I remember when there was that stupid rumor that “black people are immune to Corona virus”
And just as important to #RememberInNovember is when Trump called it a “Democratic hoax” and wasted all those months that killed THOUSANDS. Australia = all borders blocked – ALREADY curve flattened. Free medical & ambulance, government handouts, bills paused, child care free for essential workers. We can afford it – why can’t you? A soldier’s kit = $17,500…but USA can’t afford masks for nurses with lives on the line – just like a soldier does & have people dying in muddy parks. WHY? #RememberInNovember
Never heard anyone say that except
How dare the white media try and comfort themselves by thinking only minorities will die from this thing. Liberals are now attacking blacks. Like Alec Baldwins rant that blacks that voted for Trump are mentally ill. TRUER COLORS are beginning to show in the whites!
Now look!
Riso mmmmmm. I wonder what’s causing this??
https://youtu.be/qCPtQRj40cc
This news channel is a freak show. honestly off yourselves.
500+ people actually thought this was factual oh lord..
In this situation, I think only we can save ourselves. By the way does anyone know where I can buy some masks?
The Wish App
@Kristina * Yea but that just lower the virus count. You will still get infected just less infected. And the N95 masks are not 100% safe either. The virus is to small for the N95 mask to fully filter out all virus particles. If you want to be 100% safe you need to ware a full face mask that looks like something a scuba diver use.
Fazil Chuda Amazon can get Mask’s overnight
I suggest making some if you can’t buy them.
As you said: “in this situation…”
Wear a scarf. Wash daily.
