So they are really running with the Racist Covid angle?

Even Trump jumped in on it, which was a mistake.
This is a worldwide disease, affecting every race around the planet.
A statistical increase of one minority group is not relevant. Any time or money spent to study or investigate this is a waste.

Especially because we know why. It’s not like it’s hospitalizing and killing the LSU basketball and track team.

Wait till they find out how racist sickle cell is.

The angle is blacks were not tested as much as anybody else.
If do not know how you can prove this.
But it doesn't really matter as long as the media can race bate.

Racist
Xenophobic
Emoluments
Impeachment 2.0
Stormy
Tax Returns
They picked racist.

Racial bias in testing is definitely one angle.
The others are the usual suspects - oppression keeps us unhealthy and uninsured.

I wonder what mental gymnastics they will have to work through in order to blame personal choices on institutional racism?

I disagree with the qualification. We aren't seeing higher numbers in Africa than we are in Europe or the US. It's only with the black population within the US, thus what we're seeing here isn't racial but far more likely to be cultural due to the confluence of a host of different factors.
-Blacks have a higher obesity rate.
-Blacks have a higher rate of diabetes.
-The majority of poor blacks live in inner cities.
----The poor who live in close proximity tend to be far more social.
-As a per capita blacks are far more likely to be on social assistance programs than any other racial group.
----The poor who live on social programs generally tend to not have as healthy a lifestyle (including exercising, eating well-balanced meals, not smoking and/or drinking excessively, etc) as those not on social assistance programs.

I don’t agree either but that’s the premise

What ever study is done, how much of it will focus on behavior and resistance to being told what to do.

This ^^^
Trump didn’t make it racial, nor did Doc Fauci...they said African Americans, once infected, suffered more from the disease than other races in America, not that they are more likely to get it. Their argument was based on empirical data and analysis by the medical community. Unfortunately, the consequences are worse for AA community given presence of underlying conditions.
They were quoting data. Data.
How is data racist?

I'd really like to see stats from the Mississippi Delta as well...

Like everything else in life, it’s lifestyle, behavior and culture.
I went to a Family Dollar the other day to get milk because I didn’t feel like going to Albertsons.
There was probably 20 customers in the store shopping. Only 3 people in the store with masks and gloves on. Me, and two white women. All the black folks walking around with no PPE. So the only three white folks in the store were wearing PPE and none of the black folks.
And people wonder why they have a higher rate of infection?

And something called keloids. Watching 'Dr. Pimple Popper' on TV they have a bunch of black ladies with big arse bulbs growing out of their ear lobes because their pierced ear thing went wrong.

Lebron will surely be holding a press conference shortly to condemn the CCP

China is notoriously racist.
China unleashed the virus which is also racist.
The DNC and MSM love China.
Therefore, the DNC and MSM are racist.

I see more black people wearing masks than white people.
I don't think PPE has anything to do with it.
It's lifestyle.
And if you think blacks are generally reluctant to seek medical care then you haven't spent much time in ERs.
