“many of our domestic enemies want Trump to wear a mask, SO THEY CAN PORTRAY HIM AS A BANDIT.”

They’re dying to have that optic to use similar to Kerry in his blue bunny suit, and Dukakis in his tank. Trump won’t play.

To heck with that. I’ll be one of the last holdouts on mask wearing. I won’t say never, because with Herr DeWine making rules on a whim, some kind of draconian mandate could be in the works.

It sounds dumb. Unfortunately it’s accurate. There’s already some reports circulating. “Black guy with mask” scares some people. Remember the guy that had picked up a toy gun at WalMart to buy, some customer freaked out “black guy with gun”, cops, craziness. I think he actually got shot. One way or the other, there’s a few too many people out there sceeert of every black man, which can make things a bit dangerous for them.

We have a lot of examples of the presumed criminality of black men in general," Logan, who is black, told CNN. "And then we have the advice to go out in public in something that ... can certainly be read as being criminal or nefarious, particularly when applied to black men

Never fear, professor. No one will mistake you for a gangbanger speaking like that.

cnn, wapost, slimes have become UNBEARABLE to read or even glance at.

I HATE that MFs that own them and work for them.

I take solace in the fact that the only direction their news moves Trumps’ support is UP.

But they think they’re hurting him.

That will make november all the more juicy for us.

When they suffer like hell on that night.

Figure a few will have heart attacks or strokes. :)

Well, it was on,y a matter of time before identity politics was going to be combined with COViD by the MSM. They are as predictable as they are stupid.

“Why some people of color “ wont?

Just read a bunch of post from people on FR! They dont want to wear them either, but a bunch of comments want to take swipes at these people in the article?

Maybe we should start a color code for masks-

White or light blue = coronavirus, I’m afraid of you (you are contagious)

Bright red - stay away or you’ll be dead (I’m contagious)

Grey or yellow - I am a crazy fellow

Black - I’m about to attack

... or would that be racist?

Yes, and have been noticing a faction here saying, “I really wish Trump would wear a mask”.

Wouyld be interesting to analyze if they’re the same ones who really, REALLY wish Trump would stop tweeting.

First, notice how the article call Logan “black” but all other minorities as “of color”.

Second, I will contend that he is not black but can properly characterized in the following way:

militant victim-advocate of color

Gee Mr Logan do you think it could possibly have anything to do with wildly ot of proportion ACTUAL criminality of the black male?

At least Gretchen is not copying DeWine any more, she has gone total draconian. I think she likes it.

How come you can say “people of color” but not “colored people”?

How come the NAACP isn't the NAAAA ?
