  1. Not as thorough as could be done, but still not a bad piece. It's only 14 minutes, so we shoudln't expect a thorough piece.

  2. Media propaganda is another strategy in the arsenal of weaponry in the war against us!. Instill fear in the uninformed. Recognise but don't panic! Stay indoors, just to be safe. Don't lose focus!

  3. These black leaders are so dam weak, its sad , were not getting what owed to black Americans. Whites know this, they don't give a shit. Republicans and Democrats

  4. Granted that there are important issues of systemic racism that negatively impact health outcomes for African Americans in the US that should be addressed, ascribing all the differences in mortality rates to environmental factors might be a mistake.

    There may be underlying genetic factors at work which could be mitigated through interventions – provided they are implemented in a timely manner. One is the tendency to vitamin D deficiency; a national program to help people test their vitamin D status and provide appropriate supplementation should be put in place as soon as possible.

    The second issue may be a tendency to dysfunctional AMPK signalling. All the risk factors associated with severe covid-19 (hypertension, diabetes, asthma and older age) relate to AMPK signalling and metformin, a drug that improves AMPK signalling, has been found to ameliorate all these conditions. Whether covid-19 patients with type 2 diabetes on metformin fare better than those on other diabetes medications (controlling for other factors such as age, BMI, HbA1c, etc) is a question that should be investigated.

    If a problem in AMPK signalling is underlying the tendency to severe covid-19, then I expect Native Americans, particularly the Pima people, to be terribly affected also.

  5. We already kno the good ole USA isn’t going to do anything for people of color it’s been that way since day one so we have to do for ourselves start with a Healthy diet and exercise I don’t care if you just walk around the block a few times a day gotta do something

  6. Negroes are you aware that within our group lies dormantly more than enough competent skill and expertise to build a nation from scratch. We have internally everything we need to become almost autonomous and almost selfsufficient. We, not they, have the solution to resolve our problems. With that being the case, our failure in America is our failure to have faith in ourselves and in our dormant potential. Think about, systematic reconcentration i.e. segregation that mindset alone would and will jumpstart our reparation project.

  7. I know that I'm not the only person who sees you using black people as a way to make money. Stop holding black people up as a constant victims. It's so negative.

  8. Racism does not necessarily have to do with color. Something very few of the real news watchers and producers know.

  9. With the leadership of the NAACP, black Americans were not warned of the virus, we have lost over half our wealth and black America is on the verge of collapse. Would any other American group want the NAACP as their leader? Absolutely not… Unless they'd like to DIE…!!!!!

  10. The failings of the government and the economy will always come down hardest on people with the most melanin.

    We can’t vote our way out of this deeply rooted problem. It’s time for America to remember how to fight for itself. We need a #GeneralStrike to make our demands heard. The last big mobilization was the Civil Rights era and BIG WINS were made in those days. We must do that again. Join the movement people. Your life depends on this:
