When your race card limit hits it's maximum, I suppose all you have left is the ability to start writing stupid opinion pieces.
The Detroit News: Bankole: Pandemic robs blacks of public mourning
Caring for the dead has been an essential part of the black experience in America going back to the early days, when burial societies were formed to plan proper funerals. . . .
Verily, this thing you call a funeral dear Bankole, what is it? In truth, a non-Black person has never heard of such a strange ceremony and concept of caring for the dead. Do tell us more.
That centuries-old heritage and practice, a sacred ritual of black life, is now being upended by the pandemic, as African Americans are not allowed to congregate in large numbers to mourn those lost to the coronavirus.
Verily, women and minorities must be hardest hit by this pandemic dear Bankole. Is it true that African Americans to the exclusion of everyone else are not allowed to congregate in large numbers to mourn the dead in a sacred ritual?
Trust race-baiter Bankole to make what is a universal experience under the coronavirus lock-down - the inability of anyone - Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, or whatever - to have a funeral with more than 10 mourners present to someone be uniquely affecting Blacks either especially or differently than anyone else.

And don't forget that essential funeral tradition in their culture: The funeral T-shirt with the pic of the deceased. Because nothing says "I loved them more than you did!" like a cheap cotton t-shirt.
