Vaccine mandates are on the hit list…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…of Black Lives Matter<\/a>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a protest Monday in front of New York restaurant Carmine\u2019s, Chivona Newsome, also a co-founder of the group, said<\/a> of the vaccine mandates, \u201cWhat is going to stop the Gestapo, I mean the NYPD, from rounding up black people, from snatching them off the train, off the bus?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

She further issued the threat that BLM was \u201cputting this city on notice that your mandate will not be another racist social distance practice\u201d and that \u201cBlack people are not going to stand by, or you will see another uprising .\u201d She said vaccine verification \u201cis not a free passport to racism.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The catalyst for those remarks was an incident at Carmine\u2019s last week wherein three black women from Texas were charged for assaulting a hostess at the restaurant, allegedly over a vaccine verification dispute and, as a lawyer for the women subsequently claimed, because the hostess, who is of Asian descent, used a racial slur.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And it doesn’t just seem to be just BLM<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morning Consult found that Biden\u2019s approval dropped a striking 12 points among black voters since September 8th, the day before the White House announced a comprehensive new COVID-19 mitigation plan that included a new OSHA rule, which, when drafted, will demand workplaces with 100 or more employees either require their workers to be vaccinated against COVID or submit to rigorous testing for the virus.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPresident Joe Biden\u2019s sweeping federal rules to mandate vaccines hasn\u2019t hurt him with the overall electorate, but it appears to have spurred a weakening of his standing with one of the most reliable pieces of the Democratic Party\u2019s coalition: Black voters,\u201d Morning Consult noted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Now – getting everyone to connect the dots from “unequal and racially-tone-deaf enforcement of arbitrary Covid regulations” to “unequal and racially tone-deaf policy” in general? That’s the challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
