That number is five times the national rate for adults that are part of the community.<\/p>\n<p>The poll was done by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wheres-your-mask-white-osu-student-pleads-guilty-to-assaulting-black-officer-during-blm-protest\/\" title=\"'Where's Your Mask!'
