Despite Comprising Only 14 Percent Of The Population. by yuanliehaok1: 8:41am On Dec 08, 2020 |
In Michigan, where the state’s 845 reported deaths outrank all but New York’s and New Jersey’s, African Americans account for 33 percent of cases and roughly 40 percent of deaths, despite comprising only 14 percent of the population. The state does not offer a breakdown of race by county or city, but more than a quarter of deaths occurred in Detroit, where African Americans make up 79 percent of the population. And in Illinois, a disparity nearly identical to Michigan’s exists at the state level, but the picture becomes far starker when looking at data just from Chicago, where black residents have died at a rate six times that of white residents. Of the city’s 118 reported deaths, nearly 70 percent were black — a share 40 points greater than the percentage of African Americans living in Chicago. |

yuanliehaok1: That's because Black people are turned away from the hospital like the 25 year old Nigerian grad student who was turned away in the beginning of the break out and died after just graduating from the University. Black people are also being neglected in the hospitals as usual. 1 Like |
