Now during COVID-19, the essential workers that reside in the lower income, less white towns continue to be put at risk because white people are too fucking stupid to differentiate between essential and non-essential services during a literal fucking pandemic.
Towns like the one where I’m from, Brentwood, have thousands more cases of COVID than Commack, where “inconvenienced” people need their fucking haircuts

When people laughed at me for being upset after the 2016 election, saying “how bad could it be?”, THIS IS IT FOLKS. WE’RE HERE. The entitled and ignorant have their voice, and it’s spreading as fast as this virus.
