So many fallacious arguments in the above article, but here is one fact, humans have always divided themselves into groups based on certain similarities or needs! It is no different today and nothing can change until people are prepared to stop compartmentalizing the evil acts of humans against other humans into convenient boxes, eg racism, for public consumption. Are the killings of unarmed black men in this country by black police officers racist? Does the label matter to the dead? Blacks kill other blacks in record numbers but little is said. Why is it more evil for someone of another race to abuse you than someone of your own race? Why shed more light on one as opposed to the other? Acts of evil need to be called what they are without the moniker of racism being attached, for as long as people elevate their ethnicity above their humanity and the humanity of others, division will continue unabated.
This article adds some perspective to the perceived inequity in police/black interactions:
... if you have been on this blog for any period of time you would know that I have been saying that for any **one sided story** that is printed, immigration, or any other civil matter for years. The purpose of newspapers should be to inform readers with objective factual information, not to inflame passions with one side of the story, but our standards are so low as a nation anything goes! Of course the healthcare system is dysfunctional and we should know when things go wrong, but in a balanced way that presents facts from both sides. That is responsible journalism. A newspaper is failing when it does not perform that basic service and both the Guardian and Tribune are guilty!
I have said it before and will say it again, when people believe they may have been wronged in any matter their recourse should be to pursue justice through legal action not presenting one side of the story in a newspaper!
These kinds of one sided stories should never be published in a newspaper unless its MO is sensationalism. It is best to never respond when only one side has been heard!
... even more interesting is that I recently found out that autopsies are not being performed on suspected COVID cases, so how do they know what caused the death?? This is just an attempt to keep the deaths from the virus as low as possible. Minnis did the same thing in 2012 with dengue. People were dying WITH dengue, not FROM dengue. The official death toll for deaths from dengue was 1 !!
The Bahamas IS a "fly-by-night" borrower, if it were not we would not have a national debt well in excess of $8 billion, nor would we have created a new tax (VAT) to pay down the national debt without doing so! We are a fly by night country!!!
... and despite HCQ being "debunked" many doctors around the world are still using it because they are getting results. There are even doctors who have been using it prophylactically. One never knows what role big pharma is playing in influencing the avoidance of cheaper treatments for more expensive ones. From what I have read, when a drug is started is key to its effectiveness!
This is a really nice move. There were concerns about the possible installation of Chinese 5G infrastructure during the early lock downs. We don't have a freedom of information act, so the US might be helping us see what's going on. I want to see what gets exposed.
