As of May 20, about 20,000 African-Americans had died from COVID-19, up from a total of 92,128 a week and a half earlier, as INFORMED COMMENT points out, "Sources of Anger: The Top three Causes of Coronavirus Depression among African Americans".
That's almost 22 percent.
African Americans make up 12 percent of the population, so their share of deaths is almost twice that.
