A new BBC documentary, which airs tonight, explores how systemic racism and deprivation has played a part in the disproportionate toll the pandemic has had on people of colour. WhyIsCovidKillingPeopleOfColour

A documentary has exposed the ‘shameful’ health inequalities in the UK exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Homeland star says during the BBC One programme: ‘As a 55-year-old black man, I am three times more likely to die of Covid-19 than a white man my age.AdvertisementAt the age of 23, the actor had a psychotic breakdown – a condition he later discovered was far more likely to affect black patients than white.supports HTML5 video

The Supergirl actor explores the theory that a possible deficiency in Vitamin D among black people could be linked to the high death rate, but he learns that it may be only a small part of a complex list of factors.

This is misleading propoganda which attempts to link every disparity back to systemic racism, despite all the evidence outlined in the programme of other underlying reasons. Critical Race Theory has infected the BBC, distorting treality and causing division. DefundTheBBC

Watch before you judge. It was very eyeopening. It was very interesting and even I learned some new things. Not everything I agreed with but overall the facts are there!

Wearing a mask might help instead of walking about thinking you are immune !

Again 🥱

Pleasure to contribute to this important work

First 'Land of Hope and Glory', and now this! Obviously, C19 is down to 'us' white supremacists again! As a licence fee payer, why should I have to suffer such silo'd views? BBC BAMEBroadcastingConspiracy Even Windrush name-checked in this biased reporting. ScrapBBCLicenceFees

ILomax Thought this might be a proper investigation of the facts. Unfortunately simply more “systemic racism” race baiting from the BBC. Those poor underpaid victimised actors, doctors and nurses. 🤦🏻‍♀️DefundTheBBC

Moab44469232 It’s not true. In the U.K. people of colour are no more likely to die from covid than anyone else. Slightly less so in fact, except for the “other” ethnic group. I have quoted the source of my figures which are all deaths recorded by PHE. Please feel free to check them.

'systemic racism' 😂😂🤣🤣🤡

Well if its on the race baiting woke BBC it must be true then.
