Sigh. With one statement trying challenge mainstream thinking, I get branded as a racist.

I would like to do an experiment. Let's compare the wealthier blacks to the poor blacks and see how each group fared with Covid 19. I predict the wealthier blacks are generally doing OK.

Then maybe we should compare the wealthier whites with the poor whites. I would say that the poor whites are not doing much better than the poor blacks, in regards to Covid-19.

Live in a gated community, Covid-19 is easy to manage. Live in The Projects, that is a different story.

We could blame systemic racism for the reasons why more African Americans (per capita) are in poverty than whites. But that will probably not appease any PC warriors.
