2228 people die from Coronavirus in one day in the US, but how many die every day from colonialism?

As of last month , Coronavirus deaths in the US are nearing 30,000 including 10,000 in New York alone, disproportionately black and indigenous people

America and parasitic capitalism are built on death and genocide.

In the year 1500 there were about 15 million indigenous people on this land. This is their land. By the year 1900 there were only a quarter million native people left due to the vicious genocide carried out against them by white people stealing & colonizing their land & resources

In 400 years at least 14.75 million indigenous people were killed by the colonizers. That means an avg of 101 indigenous people were killed every single day for 400 years!

How many African people were slaughtered by the colonizers in lynchings and assaults on our towns such as in Tulsa, OK? How many were secretly murdered with their bodies dumped in rivers or in shallow graves? How many Africans were murdered by the police?

How many Africans died on the the ships from Africa to the Americas? How many killed while struggling for their liberation? How many died in infancy, childbirth, early childhood or from the lifespan they experience that is 7 years shorter than white people’s

These numbers are never kept by the US government but are clearly in the multiple millions. This is why the @APSPusa calls the #COVID19 pandemic the colonialvirus
