Protesting Racism Versus Risking COVID-19: 'I Wouldn't Weigh These Crises Separately'

June 1, 20204:46 PM ET

One kills people. The other, um, doesnt kill grandma.

Quote:

But the risks of congregating during a global pandemic shouldn't keep people from protesting racism, according to dozens of public health and disease experts who signed an open letter in support of the protests.

...

"White supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19," the letter said.

...

"Data is showing that blacks and Latinos have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 in many states," said Nsoesie, who was not among the letter's signatories when NPR contacted her. "Racism is one of the reasons this disparity exists."

:idea:

The left hates america and hates you. It's all about destroying our country.

If blacks and latinos are getting covid, and it's racist. Is it possible the racists are actually the ones telling them to go outside and spit on each other? And who exactly would that be?

But at least george floyd was avenged for his overdose!

I can't decide if I hate the liberal protestors/rioters or the cops more. It's making it very difficult to decide who to root for.

Are you serious?

The rioters are destroying my city, along with many others, for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

The police are not.

Hating the police less than the rioters is not the same as loving the police. But there are many orders of magnitude difference between the relative minor dislike I have for police in general vs. the unbridled opprobrium which I harbor towards looters and rioters.

I honestly cannot believe that this is a difficult call for you to make.

I suppose that isn't a fair thought from me, our protestors haven't started legitimate riots yet. Although our cops made the news for dumping the protesters water so that was a good look for them.

You're right of course the rioters are definitely worse, I just really really dislike cops.
