The pandemic underlines America's ingrained racism : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 5/6/2020

The death of Floyd is no longer seen merely as an act of police brutality but the final crack in the dam, revealing the insidious socio-economic and healthcare malaise that continues to be inflicted disproportionately on the African American community.

Gee, Alon. Do you think that the real reason why minority deaths from the CCP virus exceed the proportion of "white" deaths, might be because the whites and Asians are smarter, take social distancing seriously, and take better care of their health? I went into my local chew and spew fast food shop recently and I saw every customer practicing social distancing, with the exception of a large group of Arabs who had pulled chairs together at the tables and obviously did not give a stuff about whether they spread the CCP virus or not. They simply ignored the disapproving stares of the other customers.

But once more we see the determination of the liberal left to portray every human problem affecting dysfunctional minorities as a factor of white oppression and minority victimisation. I am a bit puzzled here, Alon? If white society is so damned bad and oppressive, why are millions of dysfunctional people from dysfunctional countries doing their damnbness to barge into white societies? So much so, we have to put up fences to try and keep them out?

And why is it that wherever these dysfuncnal minorities settle in white societies, they become a welfare, crime, and terrorism problem? So much so, that this causes "white flight" where the whites who pay the bills of welfare need to flee their former suburbs to get away from the high taxes imposed upon them by minority grovelling politicians, who use the white taxes to buy the minority welfare vote? They also flee to protect their children and get away from the crime and social problems the dysfunctional minorities inevitably bring with them?

But we know how your uppity academic caste think. You despise the western working class for being too smart to accept your socialist totalitarian utopias, so you need to import people into western societies who are dumb enough to accept it. And like Pol Pot or the Taliban, you don't care if you destroy the world's most successful economic and political system, as long as you get to rehash again, your already failed year zero social experiment.

Lego, what about reality that income inequality may mean that poorer groups (which includes more coloured people) live in much greater population density in terms of size of apartment.

Is it not possible that unfair health system may also disadvantage lower income groups in terms of getting to hospital for treatment.

A lack of access may have even prevented many from going there.

Also, with many poor families unable to pay bills in New York, they had their water cut of prior to the coronavirus, despite freeze on such closures during virus outbreak.

Was not the spread of cholera in western cities many years ago also caused by poor living conditions and lack of space

Black racists and agitators say that they get a raw deal. But do they really, or or do they bring it on themselves? It seems that weak whites are doing the 'believe them thing' as they do with claims of sexual harassment by compensation-seeking tarts. The US has had a black president; there are black millionaires, black mayors, black policemen, black high ranking military officers - black all sorts. How are they different from the rest, who are always complaining, always committing crimes and rioting and looting?

There is nothing to indicate that President Trump is a racist, nor that the Republican Party has any "antipathy towards the black community". That's just what it suits people like this author and the rest of the Marxist anarchists to believe. Heaven forbid that people should be required to get off their arses and look after themselves like everyone else. It is much easier to call people who can manage their lives 'racist'.

In 2013, a typical year for the US, 2,491 black Americans were murdered. In 2,245 of those cases, the murderers were also black Americans. It seems that Black Lives Matter only when they are taken by white people.

Chris.

Lego is unashamedly an ideolog. Your weak point is always that you deny your own weakness.

As a Doctor, you have a responsibility towards precision the majority of the rest of us don't need to possess. Off is spelt with two f's.

Cheers

Dan

Thanks Dan.

I thought my bio admits it is impossible to know it all in such a complex world.

I will have to lift my game.

I was merely suggesting to Lego that there are other reasons why coronavirus havinga bigger impact on cetain commununities, reasons that both Lego and author may choose to note
