Black Americans have a greater risk of loss from health and economic disparities than our mainstream counterparts as we account for more than half of the COVID-19 cases and over 60% of the deaths nationwide.
One reason is Black workers account for more than 80% of essential frontline employees in the health, retail, and delivery and warehouse jobs in the USA.
In summary, many Black people, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, are also in the midst of a RACIAL pandemic.
Every day, I have to defend my experience to some Black person, who undermines my fight; who thinks racism is my fault and I can overcome it!
For example, how many of you have gone to a Black business owner who failed to get your ”it” right and you 1) did not say anything 2) did not return nor let them know 3) and trashed them to others and 4) went to another non-Black business owner; got treated the same but stayed?
