Opinions

COVID is racist. "This is the racial pandemic within the viral pandemic"

The low take-up of Black people having the COVID vaccine is due to racism.

Opposes interracial adoption.[1]

“Some White colonizers 'adopted' Black children. They 'civilized' these 'savage' children in the 'superior' ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity. And whether this is Barrett or not is not the point. It is a belief too many White people have: if they have or adopt a child of color, then they can't be racist.”
