The fact there’s so much discussion and confusion around why poor Black people are more susceptible to #COVIDー19 is mind boggling to me. Did folks fully sleep through US History? Y’all never heard of the Tuskegee trials..? Jim Crow laws?? S l a v e r y???

And folks who are making graphs showing these disparities... very nice work A+... but like... STOP We get it! The communities affected get it!! They been trynna tell you for 300 years! This isn’t about you!! stop making these graphs and instead LISTEN to the people affected

If I hear another politician saying “Well we see this data, but why is this the case? And what do we do about it?” My brain gonna

Y’all know EXACTLY why these disparities exist and EXACTLY what to do about them, but you CHOOSE not to and now you’re playing dumb because you’re uncomfortable...

When are we going to stop talking about disparities and start DOING something about it? Local politics and community-based organizations can only do so much. Change happens on a federal level

Or better yet throw over the system :) but that’s just my personal opinion, the rest of this thread is objective fact

That being said community-based organizations and public health professionals such as myself aren’t going to stop until we reach at least some semblance of health EQUITY in this country.
