- (General Dispatch) – According to an article developed by Professor Kehinde Andrews, she assures that the Black Lives Matter social movement is a guarantor of the civil rights of black power.
- The article is entitled “Racism is the public health crisis” in essence contemplates that the discriminatory act is a systemic problem implanted in members of Western society and obeys a choice of personal prejudice.
- In the first place, racism is a behavior that does not accept the unequal nature of the human structure, often encouraged by some politicians who persuade the global society.
- Andrews states that the inordinate scope of covid-19, more than a genetic issue, represents a racial burden. And this can be seen in the proportionality with which the issue has been treated.
- As a consequence, minority communities by racial ethnicity are just as vulnerable to infection by the virus, but they are not prioritized by health agencies to distribute the vaccine as are whites.
- One of the most striking pieces of evidence to conceptualize these qualitative underpinnings on a real-world basis was projected by the coronavirus around the world. Demonstrating the wide levels of racial inequality.
- Accordingly, white supremacy heads the hierarchical chain of the human species, where whites are superior and blacks are inferior.
- To conclude, racism is a peculiar characteristic of Western countries, which fosters a society in which the lives of blacks are looked down upon.
