Nearly 70 percent of black residents in South Carolina are"extremely concerned" about COVID-19 outbreaks in their community versus 27 percent of white South Carolinians who said the same, according to a new poll.
But South Carolina's concern along racial lines is far more jarring, with black residents being two-and-a-half times more likely to say they are deeply concerned about coronavirus than whites. About two-thirds of black South Carolinians surveyed said they are at least somewhat worried they could contact COVID-19, while just 46 percent of white residents said the same. Fewer than 2 percent of the state's estimated 1.33 million black residents said they are"not concerned at all" about the virus compared to about 10 percent of the state's 3.33 million white residents, according to the polling data.
Jaime Harrison, a black Democratic U.S. Senate candidate challenging longtime incumbent Republican Lindsey Graham, earlier this monththat 56 percent of those who have died as a result of the coronavirus in South Carolina were black despite only making up 27 percent of the state's overall population. The data Harrison shared was cited from a press release issued by the South Carolina African American Heritage Commission.
And....
So, just throw the blacks out again, eh? Did you bother to ask any? Is this poll made up by whites? What about the blacks in NC or GA or FL or MS? Those Americans don't count?
