Disproportionate black death. Yet again we were reminded this week that even as covid19 has been cast as an equalizer, supposedly a disease that does not discriminate in who it harms, the data bears out that black americans have born the brunt of this pandemic in both health and wealth. But also outside of these metrics, theres the politics of the pandemic. Weve seen disturbing images emerge, like armed white protesters storming statehouses and screaming on sent ibscenitiw enforcement officers, all because they want their states reopened. In many cases, these reopenings, which are happening in states at this very moment endanger many black and brown people, many of whom have been on the less forgiving end of the Police Response to these shutdowns.

And after nearly four months of protests and pandemics, trials requiring actual executive leadership skills, this president is sorely lacking. He can get back to the part of the job he seems to prefer. Riling up his mostly Trump Supporters. Fox news has him 12 Percentage Points behind the former vice president. And as the summer of protests continues around the deaths of george floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks and others, the president is tonight looking to turn the page by invoking the saddest of histories, in addition to holding his rally hours after a black american holiday born out of delayed freedom for texan slaves.
