[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"...others have had to navigate surviving a pandemic in a country they were actually never meant to live in"? Ummm...is the author trying to apply this statement to black people in 2020 USA? Why the need to add manufactured drama to an already understandably-traumatic event? It's enough on its own without this type of hyperbolic nonsense that distracts from the issue that a black man was killed by a white cop in broad daylight.[/quote] An understandably traumatic event that is killing black and brown people at a much higher rate than anyone else in the society. Is that you call “manufactured drama”?[/quote] No. You either misread (or misunderstood) my reference. The "manufactured drama" is the part where the author implies that in 2020, people of color are challenged with the task of navigating surviving a pandemic "in a country they were actually never meant to live in" Perhaps their ancestors were "never meant to live in" this country? But by that standard, mine weren't either. It's just a strangely divisive setup when one isn't needed. The ACTUAL issue isn't that at all. It is what YOU called out about black and brown people being killed at a much higher rate than anyone else in the society. This other stuff about how certain people "were actually never meant to live in" is a red herring.[/quote] Were your ancestors brought here by force - on a slave ship? [/quote] I get the historical context, but are you saying that one of the things that people of color are currently trying to navigate is how to navigate surviving in a pandemic "in a country they were actually never meant to live in"? It honestly doesn't seem like this particular challenge was on the mind of most people last week, but maybe i'm wrong.[/quote]
