A white Louisiana police officer, who in a racist Facebook post, said it is “unfortunate” the coronavirus pandemic hadn’t wiped out black people in the United States has been fired.
Reacting to a Facebook user who wrote: “Virus that was created to kill all the BLACKS is death,” Aucoin countered in his May 15 racist comment that: “Well it didn’t work” followed by “how unfortunate.”
According to a study published in April by ProBublica more blacks, especially those in typically black communities are contracting the virus and dying at a very disturbing rate.
Sadly, blacks also make up 81% of the 27 deaths reported in a county made up of 26% blacks.
The report further reveals that Michigan’s state population constitutes 14% blacks and African Americans make up 35% of the cases reported and 40% of deaths at the time of publishing the study.
