Unbelievable what's coming out of the mouth of Michigan Chief Medical Executive and Chief Deputy Director for Health Dr. Joneigh S. Khaldun.
And so what is coming out?

That the virus is racist, infecting more blacks than non-blacks.

And that health care workers are racist, that's why they need bias training or the governor is going to suspend their licenses.
Anyone who does work in the lower income parts of town will tell you many folks in those parts were more lasidasical about the virus when it started, than folks in outlying areas.

Racial bias training for health officials because Covid-19 was more prevalent among the "black" population? What a bunch of hogwash.

It is VERY clear that Covid-19 was much more deadly in people with health issues and obesity. Medical professionals are supposed to be responsible for lifestyle choices now?

Lets take one subset. Obesity. The percentage of the black population considered obese in the State of Michigan is 39.9 percent. The white population is 29.9 percent. Knowing that obesity is a risk factor, wouldn't it make perfect sense that more black folks are going to have problems? Oh No. Our medical professionals are racist.

Smoking is another subset that the black population does in greater numbers....


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

We all know what they're smoking, too.


Donald Trump was and is the best president this country has ever had. And he will return to glory as our leader again.

It's disgusting that the "journalists" we have around never challenged the math when Whitmer and Company were first launching the "racial disparity" of Covid and saying "40% of the affected are A-A, when A-A only make up 14% of the state's demographics" (albeit paraphrased).

At the time, most of the cases and deaths were in Detroit and Wayne County. What do the demographic numbers look like there??

They tell me you are a big fan of it. Your posts make it clear that they are right.

Heard during a national news break this morning that males are 2.4 times more likely to succumb to Covid-19 than females.

Will our Guv be instituting implicit masculine bias training too?

I think I saw in Kent County that over half of all of its COVID-19 cases are among minorities.

She must have done that with her sign-language folks and look at the results...

I'm saying it again. And I think I got flamed for saying it the first time.
I do some side work where I have to take papers to where people live and watch them get signed. Or pick them up, or whatever. The lower the income (and it's not a color thing, I've seen this with whites in Redford and Westland), the more lackadaisical they were about it when it started. When the governor and the mayor were telling folks STAY HOME, they were just laughing it off. I totally understand why the city has SO many compared to the other areas of Metro Detroit.

Dumb dems and the media: "384 new COVID-19 cases and seven deaths!!!! Shut 'er down!!! Wear a mask or face a $500 fine!!!"

Civilized people: "1,000 black babies a day are murdered in the United States alone."

Dumb dems and the media: "But seven people died from COVID-19 yesterday!!! That's MUCH WORSE!!!"
I would hardly call you civilized.

In my opinion capital punishment and abortion don't have much place in civilized nation. Most get one or the other wrong.

Says the tatted up redneck who steals cigarettes and booze form the local liquor store.
What’s a booze form?

Surely you don’t mean Boons Farm?

There's no such thing as a "booze form."

Check your privilege and ignorance.
