Honestly, this is what I'm talking about with the drained pool. White TX officials would welcome more death and disease on the state's 2nd biggest county--which is 66% white--rather than save the lives of Texans of color. #TheSumofUsBook #drainingthepool
The status quo is racist: "In Dallas, as in other major Texas cities, distribution sites are more commonly located in white neighborhoods, and early data showed the North Texas county had distributed most of its shots to residents of whiter, wealthier neighborhoods."
It's classic reactionary colorblindness: powerful whites refusing to see the racism that's causes a problem, then accusing the would-be-solvers of racism. But the more exposed BIPOC areas are, the more the virus rages on to the risk of all. #TheSumofUsBook #drainingthepool
