I think that like when they were trying to tell Asians the big threat was white supremacists that most people of all races just roll their eyes at this.
It's very sad when young people die
Does the author of this article not think young white people
ever get forms of cancer that kill them?
Race played zero role in these cancer deaths both people could have afforded the best care in the world and sadly still died way too young from their cancer.
Williams had a drug issue which white people have as well.
As for black people getting shot-who is shooting them 95 percent of the time?
Can't blame whitey for that sorry
The disparities in rates among races, of cancer, heart disease, plus unequal healthcare, have been proven......!
A major project of woke American media is the ongoing effort to convince black people that all of their personal tragedies are connected to racism. Did someone you loved or admired die... in a confrontation with police... in a hospital suffering from an incurable disease... while giving birth to a child? Ultimately all of this, we are taught, can be traced to white American racists. This writer links his own father's death, last year at age 72, to the racism of 1950s Pensacola, Florida that must have traumatized him as a child. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/05/o...mortality.html
Let me see if I understood this comment.
Someone TAUGHT you that it MUST be racism because there is no other choice.
And due to some psychological trauma back in the 1950's, you dad lived to be 72 years of age in a era where black man are scared to death to walk the streets of NYC because they could die an early age (your words)?
For many in the inner city, to know blackness is to know death by the actions of another black man. This weekend, how many black men were killed by other black men in Chicago?
Looks like 9 this weekend and even women appear to be the target a few times.
