Deaths of Disdain Are Not Happening to Blacks, Right?

The mortality gap between whites and blacks was narrowing which is a very welcome thing. A lot of it was narrowing because more whites were dying rather than, and there was also an improvement among blacks. After 2013 black mortality started to rise too but most people including us attribute that to the spread of fentanyl into the inner cities. The cultural critics from the right have used exactly the same rhetoric about you know white loss of virtue this time around that they used about black loss of virtue in the earlier episode.
