Do the Right Thing: Systemic Racism and Covid

Covid might have been the tinderbox that allowed the George Floyd protests to ignite, but the here and now of racism are the black and brown folks that are disproportionately getting sick and dying of Covid today. Right now. The white liberal response is to hashtag the eff out of this situation, but in fact we should be pressuring officials right this minute to get more testing and tracing in low-income communities, more education of health behaviors, PPE, and protecting families that aready are infected.

It’s not too late to do the right thing. While Instagram activity is crazy high, black and brown people are still getting infected with Covid, right this minute. Let’s reform our police departments, and educate our parents, and set city budgets right, but what can we do right this minute to take down the silent killer that already taken 56 Durham lives and who knows how many more until a vaccine is found and administered.

CVS

To watch a Latino family try to get medications when they don’t speak English. The cashier uses Google Translate. The child is sick, and the father’s brown shoes are worn thin. What promised land is this?

the real pivot is self-sufficiency.

The long middle

I feel like this is the end but it is not the end.  

All that I can control is what is in front of me.  

It may feel like the end of the world, but it is not the end of the world.

Everything is stalled out.

As we sink into the monotony of the days and the depression of everything having changed, we realize how precarious the health and wealth of our civilization is.

What we need to do:

Not trust leaders who don't care about the environment

Not trust leaders who are racist

Invest in leaders that demonstrate intelligence and champion science

Invest in self-sufficiency
