Coronavirus. We have heard so much yet know so little about this flu outbreak. While the rest of the world is in an uproar, buying face masks, and scared that the apocalypse is upon us, I noticed that we (Black people) were reacting much differently.
When it comes to impending doom, Black people know how to handle the toughest of times. Hell, we survived being uprooted from our homeland, 400 years of slavery, the Jim Crow era, and the consistent micro-aggressions and systemic racism still ongoing in the U.S. of A. So excuse us for not getting our panties in a bunch over the Coronavirus. Black people’s mood in response to #coronavirus: “It’s Above Me”.
Here are our favorite #coronavirus reactions found via #BlackTwitter. They didn’t disappoint. I love us… for real:
canβt catch the coronavirus if you donβt pay attention to it #blacktwitterpic.twitter.com/UEihmIaFpX
