That bold part . What about if they died protesting over something that happened in another country whilst their national health service is still fighting to stop people dying from the virus? Sorry but your logic, in the current circumstances, is just wrong.COVID might feel like a cataclysmic event but it will contribute to the death of a comparatively small number of people and eventually die out in the next year or two. It’s nasty, but it’s really just another reasonable way to die, whether people like the brutality of that or not.
Systemic racism has existed for centuries and has contributed to the deaths of an impossible number of people. It will continue to kill, impede and poison long after COVID, and long after the next new virus that hits humanity down the line. That’s why people are protesting it. It’s so much bigger than COVID.
And as for systematic racism? Anyone would think ethnic minorities don’t have the same human rights as everyone one. To simply blame skin colour for these issues is too simplistic. Just my opinion. I’m sure I’ll get slaughtered as a racist for saying it.
