Herman Cain is dead, according to an obituary that was posted to his official Twitter account. He was 74 years old at the time of his death. He recently contracted the COVID-19 virus and was hospitalized earlier this month and according to CNN he was being treated with oxygen in his lungs.

Coronavirus is not a f***ing joke. Even people like Herman Cain who spend months decrying the validity of the disease have ultimately become victims of their disbelief.

As a septuagenarian and a cancer survivor with a compromised immune system Herman Cain was clearly in high-risk demographic. To that end, it’s hard to imagine why such a person would make such disingenuous attempts to diminish the seriousness of COVID-19. Cain was recently seen at a Trump rally with other hardheaded conservative Black folks acting like there wasn’t a pandemic happening.

Not a mask in sight…

Listen, we know that people love us for our no-bulls#!t attitude and our enthusiasm in calling out stupidity but we’re honestly not here to c-walk on Herman Cain’s grave. We just need people, especially BLACK PEOPLE, to take this SERIOUSLY. WE ARE DYING. Republican, Democrat, I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Black Israelite, whatever, you can die. You can potentially kill others. Don’t do either. Wear a mask. Please. For the love of meemaw ‘n ’em.

Wow…
