It is especially devastating
to one group Americans black Americans are a third of all coronavirus cases and
Covid-19 deaths even though. They
makeup only 40percent of the US population so they're disproportionately
contracting and dying of this virus and why that is because black Americans are
also more likely to have frontline jobs. they're more likely to live in highly
densely populated areas and this virus exposed long-standing existing
inequities in our health care and labor system that had black Americans proportionately
going back to work while their white counterparts at least those and mostly
white militias our storming state capitals armed with guns and rocket launchers
demanding the government reopen and so as states are reopening that's
disproportionately putting black Americans at further risk of contracting.

States to invoke a racist trope that's no coincidence for most including when
the president also tweeted it smog a night to respond to protesters who were at
the White House.

see equality and see diversity is an affront to their livelihood and they're
responding and kind one thing, in particular, and interesting when speaking
to protesters in the field is oftentimes.
