NOTES
America's chronic illness -- Predisposed to being unhealthy -- America has prexisting conditions -- Predisposed to bad living and learning -- Predisposed to violence -- The end of two threats? -- There's no vaccine for racism
As COVID-19 gripped America, we learned that African American communities were being disproportionately infected and killed by the pandemic. Minority communities lag behind in access to medical care, healthy food, clean air and water, mental health care, education, and more. D.L. Hughley does a deep dive into the white lies surrounding Black public health, resulting in a lively work of social commentary that's essential for understanding race relations in America today. D. L. Hughely offers a fearless satire that exposes racism's unjust tole on our bodies and minds. --
