While many Blacks may suck at voting for their best interest, they kind of have the right idea on this COVID-19 vaccination campaign. To paraphrase the late President Ronald Reagan,
Verify, before you trust.
So this creepy, Twilight Zone-worthy Biden program of “Doses-to-Doors” in Mecklenberg County, North Carolina captured my attention, especially since the administration chose to mount the major push in this heavily-minority, lower income section of that state.
As a Charlotte Observer piece from a few years back attested:
In Mecklenburg, 1 in 4 residents lived in distressed neighborhoods in 2010, up from 1 in 10 in 2000, the Observer found. These neighborhoods have at least 20 percent of residents living below the federally established poverty level – for a family of four, a yearly household income of $23,850 or less.
