Are you suggesting the virus is racial? and can distinguish and be biased
toward certain peoples?

Southern Poverty Law Center should condemn Covid since it's clearly a hate group/virus.
Maybe Al Sharpton can meet with Covid to teach it about equality.
Trump did this, he's emboldened violent racist viral infections.
China should pay reparations.
We need reverse affirmative action, start infecting and killing white people.

Why does it matter if they are black or white?
Despite the reduced manpower, officers have been working to enforce the governor's social distancing order, which Detroiters are repeatedly violating, Craig said.
Since April 4, Detroit police have gone to 1,976 "special attention" runs about reported violations, issued 545 warnings, broke up nine parties, including five barbecues, and issued 129 citations in 92 locations where five or more people congregated.
On Tuesday, police issued 74 warnings and 35 citations in 11 locations.

If I were a member of the African American community and I came across statistics showing that the outcomes for my community were disparate from others, I would be angry and in that anger I might express myself in a subjective manner and from the perspective of my community.
However since I am not a member of that community I simultaneously opt to respect their views while tabling the idea that there are other factors in play. Poverty and densely populated environments specifically. Both of these things tend to impact many things in a negative way.
In other words if somebody writes "Hey y'all, black folks are dying over here" then maybe the knee jerk response aught not to be "Why you gotta make this about race?" in a mocking tone and more along the lines of "OK. Let's figure out what's going on and then do what we can to help."
We're in a crisis, we can always pick the pettiness back up one that's dealt with.
