Racism towards whites has hit my home state.

Defending a race that is the target of clear oppression of health is now race baiting? Give me a break!

 

Playing the victim of racism over such silly issue practically defines the term "race baiter".

Race baiter = a person who uses racial tensions to arouse the passion and ire of a particular demographic.

The other poster admits it is a successful tactic for the RW, and has already won them a governorship. Of course it can only be successful if the RW actually sees themselves as a victim, which sure seems to be the case. Even your post here proves it.

 

Silly? Putting peoples lives at risk over race is silly? Show me another race baiter topic that even got close with playing with peoples health over race. In fact, show me another law or policy in recent history (post Jim Crow) that limited a race by name in any policy or law. This isn’t baiting because it literally steps over the baiting line to actual enforced policy.

 

Pretending your life is put at risk by creating a risk score is silly race baiting indeed.

 

That would be my advice, yes. Much better than capitulating to wokeness.

 

How is it pretending? It definitely creates a real possibility. It dictates not to give it based on health risk but on race. If a white man short of breath and had covid came in to the hospital in need of the drug and a black man came in with nothing but a positive test and no other side effects he would get the dose first. If they only had enough doses to give one man the white man would be higher risk and left to fight it alone. It definitely allows for that scenario to be real being these drugs are in limited supply.

 

sounds to me like it's your opinion that is misguided, but carry on....

 

I'm sure that you are very certain of your opinions no matter how misguided they may be

 

and I am sure that you are very certain of your opinions, no matter how misguided they may be

 

I did not state an asinine one in this thread

 

neither did I, so hey, good for us

 

Okay so describe for us how the electoral college is remotely similar to affirmative action...

Be sure to stretch well before the final stretch...

 

it's Affirmative actions for the smaller States

it means in some States your vote is worth more than other States, and sometimes allows the person with less votes to win, such as with Trump

 

By embracing it, they more than capitulating to it. Maybe you are right. If RW is convinced that they are victimized, then it might work. They are under attack, aka persecuted, and the party is coming to their rescue.

“The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders...tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.” - HG

 

That is what FOX spin makes it sound like, but it was already explained that race is only a minor factor in the "risk score" calculation, while age, pre-conditions, symptoms etc are major factors. You are being played.

That is total nonsense, and proves the FOX spin works on some people. They want you to think race is the ONLY factor, when it has less weight than any other factor. If you have Covid and showing symptoms like difficulty of breathing, then you are first in line.

You have been played.


“The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders...tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.”

 

What I said is absolutely true. A simple reading of the point system tells the story not fox

 

We read it here on this thread, and it proves my point, not yours.

 

"Racism towards whites"??? What has hit your state is actually white supremacist propaganda. There is no such thing (in this country) as "racism towards whites". That's lingo Fox uses to cater to racist groups. There is "prejudice", but NOT racism.

"Racism" is the concept that "races" exist. They don't! Not in Biology... not in Anthropology or any social science. The concept is folklore dating from the time when it was believed that they existed. But is being removed (slowly but surely) from all serious sources. ONLY white supremacists attempt to keep the concept of "race" alive.

Having said that, I think it makes sense to ascribe a higher risk factor to ethnic groups that are not white.

 

There is no higher risk to blacks. If anything, there is a higher risk for Whites. Compare Africa and Europe. The deaths/1M in South Africa is less than many European country.

 

There is a higher risk as shown earlier in this thread. You can't compare US to Africa. They don't even know what kills people in Africa. When you die, they just push your body into a river and give your bed to someone else.

Nonsense. Looking at this chart you can see that blacks die from covid no more frequently than Whites. If you want to discriminate by ethnicity,give less care to Hispanics who are significantly under represented in the death statistics. We definitely need more of them to die.

 

I don't know what you mean in this post.

What's this "lower reaction" you refer to?

And, how does that pertain to the topic?

 

Oh, wait. Are you asking whether there are studies on how various population subgroups are affected by COVID?

Good lord! Those exist ALL over the place.

Here's one:
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2020.00418/full
There are NUMEROUS others.

 

That study suggests that blacks are more likely to get it because they’re more likely to be obese or have a heart problem. It says nothing that suggests it’s anything outside of preexisting conditions. Again, It has nothing to do with their skin color, and is only associated with their health conditions and they should base it off of health conditions not race

 

You aren't proposing a solution, let alone a solution that is better in some way.

Requiring a physical examination is out of the question.
