When Katrina was bearing down on New Orleans, whites evacuated, and blacks stayed behind. Black mentality is "when shit happens, we don't take action, we rely on the government to bail us out".
They're doing the same thing now, taking no action. It has nothing to do with being street-smart.
As a white southerner, I disagree with that completely.
While some folks may have foolishly chosen to ride it out, many folks of all colors lacked personal transportation or money to get out. The incompetent city government didn't evacuate and who can forget the pictures of school buses sitting in flood waters rather than evacuating stranded residents.
For the most part, people with the means evacuated. Those without means did not, and they were poorly served by their governments.
When small w whites dont get vaccinated, its because of ignorance, arrogance, lack of education, privilege...
When capital B Blacks don’t get vaccinated, its because they are well informed in historical and institutional racism.
Personally, i believe blacks are just more street-smart than whites.
But check out the vaccination rates by race. Its jaw-dropping the spread. They aren’t fooling very many blacks.
