100 Words: Pouring
Gas On The Fire
The U.S. faces three
intertwined crises: the pandemic that has claimed over 100,000 lives; the
resulting economic crisis leaving over 40 million unemployed; and now the
policing crisis that has triggered the largest wave of urban unrest since the late
1960s. Each disaster disproportionately harms people of color. Each feeds off
the other. The pandemic spawned the economic free fall, and mass protests over
the death of George Floyd a week ago in Minneapolis are likely to accelerate
the pandemic. Exceptional leadership is needed but will not come from Donald
Trump who pours more gasoline on the fire (USA Today).
