Hey OP. Do you consider the phrase "the colored population" to be racist?
I'll give you the full quote for context:
“We know it’s twice as often, correct? Could it just be that African Americans – the colored population — do not wash their hands as well as other groups? Or wear a mask? Or do not socially distance themselves? Could that just be maybe the explanation of why there’s a higher incidence?”
Perhaps he doesn’t lack any. I’ve never been more disgusted by weak minded white cowards. It’s revolting. This white freak speaker at a local rally crying about her white privilege. I just about puked in disgust.
Based on their rates of violent or non-violent confrontations with police the rates of cops killing blacks isn’t higher than the rate of cops killing whites. It’s all sick fake myth. Research it. Look at the numbers.
What exactly are white strangers doing to you, specifically?
I can't speak for their neighbor, but when I'm around black people I know for a long duration of time I'm extra careful not to make them feel isolated or abnormally treated.
I also give them undue privileged to speak their mind and not question them as I would anyone else.
If I am in a group of other black people by myself, I hardly say anything and let them lead the conversation.

No, I do not. It is just old speak. I also do not consider myself African American. I have nothing to do with Africa. I was born and raised in NYC, then broke free to Florida. I am an American, just like a one else who was born here.
I remember terms such as honky and cracker. We used them in my stupid youth.

OK. Thanks. Some people are seeing that as racist. That may help explain the difference in perception.
Edit: do you feel like the Dr is in any way implying that POC washes their hands less or don't take precautions. As in there must be something this group of people is doing wrong that is causing the 2x rate?
I just cannot take it anymore. This self hating some of you have is insane. This pandering to me and my community is insane. Stop lowering yourselves. You do not need to be doing this. Please stop letting the media, politicians, and loons shame you into feeling bad for being white or for not being black. Fight back against this public shaming.
My friends and neighbors are still treating me normally, thankfully, but other white people are all but bowing at my feet. They are tripping over themselves to make sure I am happy, taken care of and given extra attention. It is actually getting weird. Really weird.
Please just go back to living your normal life. Nothing is wrong with your normal life. You are not evil for being white. You are not privileged for being white. Your skin color and my skin color are just skin tones, nothing more.
Quit being too big for your britches, Bruiser. Don't try to speak for all folks of your race or of mine. Most of us, I'm sure, are fully aware of our skin tones being nothing more than they are.
Just enjoy the bowing while it lasts. With your attitude, it won't be lasting very long.

The health of POC is generally worse than whites and that has to do primarily with choice of diet. We tend to eat for flavor, rather than health. With worse diets comes worse health issues.
this overreaction is disgusting... people going through the motions, the Wakanda Forever apparel while kneeling, the sudden excessive charity toward blacks (which will probably fade after this noise dies down).
this sudden rush to beat one another in political correctness.
It's like they're overcompensating blacks and forgetting about all the other oppressed minorities out there.
