Wife and I watched her “press conference”. Silly us - we thought it was supposed to be an update on where things were at with the virus in Michigan, not an hour long lecture on how we ALL (yes, all - every last one of us) have “implicit bias” - and THAT is why the virus has impacted the black community more. Because, you see, healthcare workers just automatically treat black people differently than white people - virtually all the time (supposedly).

Even worse, this “implicit bias” is generally not even something you KNOW you have. Because (get this)..it’s “subconscious”. So, don’t deny you have it - you do, and you just don’t know you do.

Even my normally calm, collected, level headed wife wasn’t able to believe what we were hearing. We were both absolutely beside ourselves.

What wasn’t mentioned (of course) are any of the LIKELY reasons blacks are getting hit harder by the virus. Many cases of lots of people living in a single household. Many reports of huge, block parties (yeah, none with masks). Other “co-morbidities”. Oh, but none of that is why. It’s because we all have “implicit bias”.

I have numerous people in my family in the healthcare field, and I can pretty much guarantee knowing them all the way I do that NONE of them have ever treated someone differently because the color of their skin.

What total and complete HORSESHI! - and transparent pandering by Whitmer.
