Public Health Experts Say They Support Protests Because 'Racism Is Worse Than The Virus'
dailymail.co.uk ^ | 6 June 2020

New York City Council Health Committee Chairman Mark D. Levine told New Yorkers Wednesday that if the mass protests across the city over Floyd's death do lead to a rise in coronavirus cases, the blame lies with 'racism' and not the protesters.

Donald Trump retweeted a number of conservatives making this argument on Twitter this week, including that of commentator Buck Sexton.

'Remember, if you don't social distance, you're literally killing people,' Sexton tweeted. 'That's what they told us. The "experts."'

Cornell Law School professor and media critic William A. Jacobson also accused the media of taking a hypocritical approach.

'The riots have ripped the mask off the mainstream media politicized coronavirus hysteria. When it was politically convenient, the media shamed and attacked people who wanted to reopen their stores or even gather at the beach,' he told Fox News.

Ivory tower pinheads.

Should never have been allowed to influence policy in the first place.

What a surprise, that’s exactly what I’ve seen Hussein Head protesters say when asked if they’re worried about catching Capt. Trips.

Big Media’s narrative has to support the attacks on America.

I don’t think they know the meaning of the word “expert”.

One police officer killed one Black man.

The rioters killed five Black people that we know of.

Who are the racists again?

Who are the people who destroyed the private businesses of
many Blacks in these communities? who stole from those
Black owners? Who looting their belongings and burned
their businesses to the ground? Other Blacks... and
some Whites too, but the kicker is, Blacks are more than
willing to savage their own, while protesting because
White people supposedly savage their people.

When was the last White riots? I seem to forget when we
broke windows in Black businesses, looted their stores,
and burnt them to the ground.

So once again, what racists? Some government officials and
agencies are totally incapable of grasping reality.

The dem party is what/who kept the black race from success.. welfare instead of fathers.. schools... just for voters.. they could have lifted them out of inner city bad housing . They didnt.

And today they are destroying other businesses and cities.. and you who stand with them.. how about giving them hope with actions instead of hate and anger

With liberals everything is about race and racism is the worst sin imaginable. Worse than rape. Worse than murder. Which explains there actions.

For me racism is stupid but I also think people have a right to their opinion. All our great war time leaders were likely racist to one extent or the other. Churchill, FDR.

Watching your kids starve to death is worse than the virus. But they jailed a beautician for trying to prevent that.
Never will we be locked down again!

Police violence - or racism - is a metaphorical disease. Coronavirus is a literal disease.

Racism is worse than the virus...

So is seeing your life’s work destroyed.

So is dying alone because your relatives aren’t allowed to see you.

So is having your liberty and rights utterly dismissed by tyrannical politicians.

And... America bad... America to leftisst is caucasian achievers.

No doubt in my mind this is a race war. Politicians have discovered that minorities are easily controlled while caucasians are not.

Because we understand freedom. And...gasp... we want to share the knowledge.
