Tim Wise: Questions for Those Opposed to Lockdowns
If deaths from this virus were disproportionately occurring among younger, otherwise healthy, middle-to-upper-middle-class, and white Americans, would you still be as cavalier about opening everything back up and taking the risks associated with doing so?
If you answered no, arent you admitting you think the lives of those who are currently disproportionately affected working-class, older, less healthy, and people of color are of less value than the lives of younger, healthier, and more affluent white people?
And if you answered yes to question 8 if you are saying you would still support opening everything back up, even if the dying was mostly being done by white, healthy, younger and more affluent folks I have a bonus question for you
Why are you lying?
