People of color dying from COVID at disproportionate rates should surprise no one. “There is something we can learn from this” completely disingenuous; food, environmental justice, educational & healthcare disparities all stem from old economic disparities. CASE FOR REPARATIONS

Do this tweet again and replace the PEOPLE OF COLOR phrase with BLACK AMERICANS. No one else under that broad name y’all are forcing on us are entitled to reparations. Do better Marianne.

The Navajo Nation is suffering terribly and unjustly from COVID too. Reparative measures in response to history of genocide are also important, in addition to reparations for slavery. Not either/or. Both issues on full display now.

But to combine the two as if our plights and history are the same is disingenuous to me. Especially since you ran on a campaign for reparations for Descendants of American Slavery so heavily. Not once at a debate did you speak about Indigenous People. But now we’re all POC smh.

Yes but each plight is different and not the same.. African American issues get lost when painted with the broad brush of "POC" We just ask not to be included in "POC" use that to identify other non-white people!!
