Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
“Opioid-related deaths, police brutality and COVID-19 are all disproportionately killing black Americans, including in Chicago.”
Stop using opioids, stop committing crimes and lose some weight! Disproportionality solved!
Oh wait, that’s right, YOU are the racists, who say black people are too weak minded to quit using drugs at disproportional rates, and too stupid to stop committing a disproportionate amount of crimes, and too lazy to get and eat healthy. I’m not buying the ‘white people make me use drugs, commit crimes and get fat’ arguments. This makes THEM the racists.
This is one of the dumbest articles I have read in some time. They are literally throwing s*** against a wall to see what sticks. The article itself has no cohesiveness at all with the different topics brought up. Somehow the fact that AA’s do more drugs in cook county it is reflective of systemic racism? News flash to these “journalist” and I use that loosely. Check the opioid overdose death statistics in Appalachian states and you will see it is disproportionately killing whites in those neighborhoods. It is a NATIONAL problem.
Which makes it a good time for a reminder that we post articles from all sides, and by no means agree with all of them.
Very well stated. ?
