Kansas City Black Leaders Say COVID-19 Disparities Reflect Deep Inequities

Black Kansas City residents have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19, according to data released by the city health department Monday. About 44% of confirmed COVID-19 cases came from black patients, even though black people make up about 30% of the city's population. Health experts and community leaders say the disparities are the result of longstanding inequalities.

    2. 1036 SMH, as if calling someone a Nazi or racist has any meaning anymore or is some kind of derogatory insult.

    4. Byron: calling everyone who disagrees with you a racist or Nazi is over done, no one cares any more except brain washed leftists who love to virtue signal in their echo chambers.

      BTW the only thing the National Socialists did wrong was to oppose the degenerate weimer republic and lose. There were no gas chambers or extermination camps.

    2. Here is my point
      After every major upheavel, there is a change in society. So i am curious to see what the change will be after this one. My bet is that it will be people not wanting to stay in large populated areas
      And yes it is east to live where you please. It just comes with a trade off here and there

  3. ^^Looks like someone has a little too much dip on their chip. Of course they are at a higher risk of exposure because they work jobs that are traditionally low paying and direct customer contact. A vast number don't have the luxury of remote work. Of course this is just one of many reasons.

  4. KC Black leaders say:
    We Are Victims!
    We Will Always Be Victims!
    We Like Being Victims!
    We Like Talking About Being Victims!
    Why Would We Ever Want To Stop Being Victims!
    We Need Reparations For Being Victims!

    Bleeding Heart Guilty White Liberals say:
    "Those people" are victims of the legacy of slavery.
    "Those people" can't help themselves.
    "Those people" deserve reparations.
    "Those people" need special rights and protections.
    I voted for Barack Obama!
    All those homicides in KCMO are because we haven't banned guns.
    Quinton Lucas is such a good speaker.
    When my kids finish school in JoCo, I'm definitely moving into KCMO.

  5. I can't believe this crisis is going on and there is race bating being brought into it. If you black people have so much hatred for the white man then why not leave? Who gives a damn how many whites or blacks have it? Why is that even a factor? Un flipping believable!

      Black people are dying disproportionately.

      We have black people in America. If you don't like black people why don't you leave?

    2. Or they could move to your Southern White Enclave where you live? I am pretty sure there aren't many black people there.

    3. Hey Byron, you dipshit. They’re the ones complaining. So if you’re not happy with all the freebies and cash the Preachers and Cleaver bring to the hood, then bail for a new hood.
      Speaking of... why don’t you stick to your own hood? Or are you really in Raytown?

  10. The number of victims is still manageable enough that a researcher ought to be able to isolate and analyze commonalities among them. Were they all old? Obese? Asthmatic? Had other underlying health problems? How many were actively working when they became exposed?

    It would take a bit of work, but finding similarities among the virus victims would be much more revealing than simply trotting out the old nostrums about poverty and institutional racism.

    Thank goodness we have crackerjack investigative reporters at the Star who will jump right on this. Any second now. Pretty soon. Waiting....

    1. You are right. How many famous black leaders have been busted for fraud? murder? fathering bastard children ? most all. Remember that MLK hated homos. or did we forget that ?

  15. Please people calm down as today is a day of celebration. Obama stepped up to the plate and announced he would endorse SLow Joe Biden. Yes the fearless former leader had balls to throw his support behind his former Vp after all other candidates were knocked out the race. That Obama has some big brass balls ..LOL. Maybe he'll go out on a limb again. What a proud black man we had as a president, unable to endorse anyone until there was no left.
