COVID-19 Check-Up
It seems Liz Wheeler created a garbage video that seems to be spreading like wildfire. So here's a rapid fire response. But seriously, there's no reason that I should have to reinvent the wheel. You can always check out the fine work they do over at FactCheck.Org as well.

Black Comics: Black | Osajyefo & Smith 3
BLACK looks at the "outsider" trope, the characters that are outside of society and not accepted even in their secret identity. Like the X-Men characters who are palatable examples of what discrimination looks like.
