Jamil Smith: Surgeon General Urging Minorities Not To Do Drugs ‘Steeped in Racism,’ ‘White Supremacy’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SMITH: "I think it’s language that is steeped in racism and while I would not call the surgeon racist because we don’t need to get into that debate. What he is talkings about is we need to take personal responsible wholly for the consequences of this pandemic on our communities which is entirely ignoring the systemic factors contributing to it and also makes the entire community unsafe. We need to understand the character of this disease is one that is teaching us a lesson about how racism and white supremacy work in this country. White supremacy doesn’t just hurt the community who is it marginalizes. It hurts the white people who it claims to lift up and prioritize. In this particular instance, we have a disease that is commune cable whether or not you want to blame African-Americans for their own plight. They can spread it to very community you’re seeking to protect with theumpian policies this administration promotes. We need to worry not too much whether a person like Jerome Adams is necessarily racist or not."
