<<he doesn't say that whites don't fail or get sick
and die; he says they're not "concerned" with it.
they're distracted and their streets are quiet, their
schools are funded, they have jobs and health plans,
and life is good before they die.>>
What he doesn't say is "they're distracted and their
streets are quiet, their schools are funded, they have
jobs and health plans, and life is good before they
die."
He says whites have "chosen--and can afford--to
ignore" disease, violence, failure, and death.
The statement ignores that not all whites have money,
which is why I called the statement dishonest; i.e.,
in the context of the article, propagandist. The
rest--that anyone can choose or afford to ignore
disease, failure, and death is absurd.
