Paper did not control for descendants of slaves versus other black Americans
A team of professors recently released a paper that argues reparations for descendants of slaves would have reduced COVID deaths among the black population.
“A restitutive program targeted towards Black individuals would not only decrease COVID-19 risk for recipients of the wealth redistribution,” the researchers said, but “the mitigating effects would also be distributed across racial groups, benefiting the population at large.”
The paper, published in the February edition of Social Science and Medicine, is a collaboration of Harvard professors Eugene Richardson, Michelle Morse, Mary Bassett, Momin Malik and Paul Farmer. Duke University Professor William Darity also is a researcher on the project, as are several researchers not affiliated with a university.
We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
