Racism as a 'Public Health Emergency'? Use Up That COVID Money

in Deep Dives3 years ago

In another tale of strange twists in our bizarre clown world, the Chicago "we will put you in jail" Mayor is up to some more zany antics. She previously went on the news for telling Chicago residents that they will be locked up for violating the COVID mandates.

This time, she is saying that racism is a public health emergency, just like COVID is.

“At almost every single point in our city’s history, racism has taken a devastating toll on the health and wellbeing of our residents of color — especially those who are Black,” Mayor Lori Lightfoot said.

At almost every single point in our city's history, racism has taken a devastating toll on the health and well-being of our residents of color – especially those who are Black," Lightfoot said in a statement.

"Without formally acknowledging this detrimental impact, we will never be able to move forward as a city and fully provide our communities with the resources they need to live happy and healthy lives."

“80% of health outcomes are due to social factors, including housing, safety, education, economic opportunity — every single one of which have, through our history as a nation, been impacted by systemic racism. ... That’s why we’re making this declaration today. Because we can no longer allow racism to rob our residents of the opportunity to live and lead full, healthy and happy lives.”

She also mentioned system racism, as if that's how a black president was elected for 2 terms. Especially in Chicago, where Obama lived a significant part of his life. Not that there is no racism anywhere, but it's far from systemic in the nation as a whole, or in a heavily black city.

Chicago, a city with one of the largest black populations, is a place of systemic racism? Really...

The woke mind virus is spreading. Chicago is just one of a recent flurry of cities to declare systemic racism a public health threat. Milwaukee County in Wisconsin did so 2 years ago, and soon Boston, Denver and Columbus, Ohio have followed suit.

Racism, the new pandemic. Gotta spend those dollars somewhere if the COVID scam isn't sucking it up quick enough.
