The Coronavirus thread

Quote: AZDuffman

While there is no denying this, I also wonder why has nobody asked if Blacks are more genetically susceptible to the china virus than whites? If so, why? It would not be the first disease this is the case. But asking would rile up certain elements of society.

Looking at the world o meter, it doesn't seem to have affected African nations as bad as western? https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

As far as affecting Asian people, Vietnam is doing very well at containing Sars2. The lockdowns have been harsh, but the government has delivered necessity's to the homes of the needy. https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/03/25/during-the-covid-19-pandemic-do-as-the-vietnamese-do/

Ask Ben Carson or Senator Scott if Trump is a racist? Why do we need to ask them anything?

“MAGA loves the black people” Donald Trump

You want me to ask somebody else if the man that said this is a racist? Get real man.

Anybody STILL supporting this man ought to be ashamed of themselves. Anybody who defends him ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Unless of course, if the picture of America in May of 2020 was your idea of great all along.

#thanksMAGAts

I support Trump totally. And will keep doing so. That the left calls him a "racist" shows they really have nothing to say since they just call anyone they do not like "racist."

A man who still proudly flies the confederacy supports a racist piece of sh*t?

Color me surprised.

The confederate flag is not racist.
I do not support a racist, don't know what you are talking about there.

Speaking of racists. Are you voting for the white guy who said blacks had to vote for him or else they are not black I wonder?

I liked the flag you were using on the wov site, and I'm not a racist. Sorry it came down.

It's racist. Own it.

I agree
This Civil war was never about state rights. That's a bunch of BS. It was about the right to own another human being.
It was about the entire Southern economy being based on slavery.
It was the most valuable commodity the South owned. Take away slavery, the entire southern economy would crumble so that's why southerners that were not slave owners were pro slavery. Their livelihood depended on slavery without owning slaves.
The Civil war was about slavery and that flag represents slavery. Its racist.

African nations also have weather that will kill it easier. Ditto Vietnam. But thanks for the research. I asked because some famous black, maybe Oprah, said it was "killing us." I always heard that blacks were the "secret" victims in the AIDS years. The gay guys with fancy jobs and flamboyant lifestyles got the press. AIDS of course ripped sub-Sahara Africa to pieces. There was a very possible connection. Sickle Cell Anemia has been known to be a "Black Disease" for centuries. There are others.

It is hard to flip it to what affects whites more because whites are a larger population in most places with enough of both races to isolate. Asians seem to be less susceptible to most diseases that hit whites and blacks alike.

But the PC blinders might prevent life saving research.

Even after you watching the Grant trilogy, and reconstruction vids, you aren't paying attention, again.

Lincoln until 63 wasn't against slavery, he only switched to anti slavery when he learned black men could shoot. He used blacks for cannon fodder as sure as the south used them for slave labor, but he didn't start a war to stop slavery.

The civil war, much like the one happening now in the background, was about trade, and power. War is always about control, not race. Inviting slaves to come over to the union was a battle tactic, to get more soldiers without risking any more northerners.

The north wanted to control cotton, because they were industrialized and didn't want the south [who yes used slaves] to be able to sell cotton at a higher price to England.

The rubber meets the road on why so many ex slaves fought for the North, not the bullshit points made by revisionists.

Lets not forget all the southern massacres against Blacks right after the war

Kapernick was doing it during the National Anthem when his employers wanted him to stand. Lots of people take a knee in the NFL...just not during the National Anthem. No one says anything about them unless they violate a rule of the game.

These folks are supporting the protest but not the riot. Unless they are violating a rule of their place of employment, they are fine.

You don't have to work for anyone who has rules you disagree with and you have the right to sue if you feel the rules are illegal in any way.

Not a valid comparison. Nice try, thought...

https://www.businessinsider.com.au/how-new-zealand-beat-coronavirus-testing-tracing-trust-in-government-2020-5

"New Zealand has no new coronavirus cases and just discharged its last hospital patient"

Will the protests and riots bring a spike? It is outside and a lot are wearing masks...either to conceal their identity (rioters) or for protection (protesters).

We shall see.
