Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Racial Disparities in COVID-19 Deaths
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot reports that 72% of the city's COVID-19 deaths are among Black residents, despite them making up only 30% of the population. An MSNBC guest attributes this to "structural racism" and chronic disinvestment. The hosts question this narrative, suggesting that lifestyle factors and a lack of mask-wearing in certain communities might play a role.
