Consolidating Nightmares

AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN LADY,properly attired, takes her adorable nine year old little boy, also properly attired, to a restaurant, and is denied entrance for being improperly attired, while inside the establishment, inside the racist eatery a white lady and hers nine year old son, similarly attired, munch away happily, undisturbed by fashion or racist police, The problem is fixed, heads roll, folks are fired. the situation need never have occurred at all. Elsewhere in these Disunited States of Amnesia another white cop  kills another black man, needlessly, par for the course.Simultaneously, all across the fruited the pathological president gathers people together in buildings for the purpose of spewing racist hatred, vomiting verbal garbage, and spreading disease. The great American epidemic multiplies and proliferates as millions of oblivious Americans trade in their face masks for independence, arrogance, and vanity. Since the virus is biased against blacks, and since modern American racism is covert, stipulate that the twin pandemics consolidate into one, henceforth known as "Covid racism"..Our twin diseases, rolled into one, simplified and categorized, like racism itself. One has afflicted us for four hundred years, the other likely will linger even longer. Our twin nightmares have added to our vocabulary. Millions of formerly marginally literate citizens now know the meaning of teh words "xenophobic", and "exacerbate". Otherwise, we have gained nothing, and lost much.
