This is openly racist, doesn't affect me but allowed to continue and spread unchecked it will.

Congrats on being a dumb shite.

I fricking hate that “who cares, you snowflake?” attitude from people pretending to be edgy or high minded.

Racism against whites is being normalized, little by little and no one should be ok with that.

Any donations for struggling White, Hispanic, Vietnamese, Chinese, Jewish, French, Italian, etc. people? No?

Not a surprise whatsoever.

I’m guessing their study did a very poor job controlling for location. They’ve probably only discovered that blacks are more likely to live in urban areas.

That Covid is wily as frick.

Knows when you are in a bar, versus a restaurant.

Knows when you are in a casino or store, versus a church or school.

Knows if a business is owned by a white person versus a minority.

Knows what time it is.

In related news, Discover Card is giving financial assistance to White people who have skin cancer because it turns out that White people are disproportionately affected by the harmful rays of the Sun, which we all know are increasing due to climate change.

In really broad strokes you might see them a bit better capitalized, in communities more able to bounce back and more likely to have access to resources... maybe. Certainly not all.

but a fund this small isn’t really addressing anything beyond their desire for PR and to create a shield for next time they mess up.

Surely there are a bunch out there even if this one small program isn’t.

No. The norm of openly discriminating for and against certain people and entities based solely on race and nothing else.

You know, the very thing all these dumbasses claim they are marching and protesting against.

Not so fast. The Saints are supporting some bs movement supporting black women. Great way to alienate their fan base even further.

Like it’s my fault, as a white woman, that these black women are getting involved with criminals and having dozens of kids with different baby daddies.

I did no such thing.

I reported what was going on in my organization and those around me.

You guys thought you knew all the data just because you found state links. That is just what is available to the public.

Trust me...I had a lot more insider information than the public.

And...I never once said we were at risk of running out of physical beds or ventilators. But we did have times at my organization where we didn't have enough staff so had to send some patients to other facilities. Or we didn't have enough ICU beds for several hours so had to hold patients in the ER until one became available (usually when a patient died). I just said things were getting scary. And they were during our big surge. During the surge...We were averaging 2-3 COVID deaths a day at my organization and averaged around 100-110 patients each day in the facility being hospitalized with COVID.
