I think we have all written things then later changed our mind. I don't think that makes you a bad person, if anything it's the opposite.

I have lost a lot of posts, so I post and edit, better then losing it all.

If we all agree with the Governor and the Lt Governor that this thing affects African-Americans much more than everyone else, can the rest of us get back to work and on with our lives and let them just study that issue???

Yes...we should have separate restaurants, restrooms, water fountains, etc. for these people. We shall signify the "clean" places for "WHITES ONLY". Tremendous idea.

You don’t need to agree or disagree with facts. They just are.

What keeps the virus from spreading? African Americans clearly aren’t doing what stops the spread.

African Americans are making poorer health choices than whites. That’s not being racist. That’s being observant and honest with the data.
What are the facts?? They keep comparing the death rates of A-A vs everyone else in the state with the overall demographics of the whole state. Yet the demographics of the SE part of the state is significantly different from the rest of the state.

Well, it kind of is about race.

I just read they cancelled Indy Car...
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

30% of COVID-19 patients are black. However, blacks make up 13% of the population.

Does is mean blacks are stupid? Nope!
Does it mean blacks don’t practice good hygiene? Most likely.
KFC needs to change their slogan or what?

And you're making the same mistake that (half) Whitmer and others are. You're comparing patients in limited geographic areas who are sick with the overall demographic makeup of the country or state.

Make an apples-to-apples comparison. What is the percentage of black COVID-19 patients in Detroit with the demographic makeup of Detroit, or, what is the percentage of black COVID-19 patients in Alger County with the demographic makeup of Alger County?
