Covid-19大流行被分析为与更典型的种族主义事件不同但同时发生的事件，例如美国的警察杀人事件。本文认为，人们可以将这两个事件概念化为相互关联且协同增强的。反黑人种族主义是一种利用不同的社会不平等和暴力事件来管理美国境内黑人人口的动态。本文表明，在未来的黑人压迫理论中，理论家将受益于对疾病和反黑人暴力的流行病分析。
The Covid-19 pandemic has been analysed as a distinct from, but concurrent with, more typical racist events, such as police killings in the United States. This article argues that one can conceptualise these two events as inter-related and synergistically enhanced. Anti-Black racism is a dynamic that utilises different social inequalities and violent events to manage the Black population within the United States. This article suggests that theorists would benefit from a syndemic analysis of disease and anti-Black violence in future theorisations of Black oppression.
