Absolutely. And nobody wants to be forced to pick between that, and the very real possibility of getting sick

For a lot of people, this is a choice they make every day, even predating the pandemic.

It's an honest shame that people with your attitude weren't the ones running the protests, instead of people flying the confederate flag and wanting to get their hair done.

It's an honest shame, that politics in 2020 is often about group stereotypes, not fundamental economic reality.

It is, but I'm not sure where you're going with this—are you implying that the pandemic hasn't drastically affected that decision? Otherwise: what are you saying?

We're all human beings, regardless of "tribe."
