Dr. Eboni Hilton @UVA! Thank you for saying on @11thHour what NO ONE ELSE has said on @MSNBC so far! Black, brown and poor pp are more likely to die from #COVIDー19, not because they happen to have more Diabetes, Hypertension and Asthma. It’s not genetic. It’s structural. 1/
Black, brown and poor people are not dying more from #Coronavirus because we’re naturally weaker. It’s the highways that cut through our neighborhoods leaving higher densities of particulate matter in the air; causing astronomical rates of asthma. 2/ @MSNBC
What even Dr. Fauci has not said is that Black, brown and poor people are not dying more from #COVIDー19 because of some genetic abnormality. No. We are dying more because of LOCAL ZONING by city councils dubbing our communities Fast-Food zones. 3/ @MSNBC
And, yes, Black, brown and poor pp need better healthcare. But our communities also need more access fresh healthy food. Many have no supermarket for 5 miles in any direction, but Popeyes is next door. #fooddeserts #diabetes #COVIDー19 #death 4/ @MSNBC

If Dr. Fauci, mayors, news anchors want to know what’s causing #COVIDー19 to ravage Black, brown, poor communities, they MUST talk with the #EnvironmentalJustice organizers and advocates that have been fighting structural racism since the 1980s. 350.org/black-history-… 5/ @MSNBC
#DrFauci, Mayors, news anchors, advocates MUST READ #ToxicWasteandRace, seminal report that uncovered targeted #environmentalinjustice (ie. dumping of toxic agents into Black, brown, poor communities and withholding access to health). 6/6 @MSNBC #COVIDー19 nrdc.org/sites/default/…
