Lincoln County, Oregon, has exempted non-white people from a new order requiring that face coverings be worn in public to prevent racial profiling.
Health officials announced last week residents must wear face coverings in public settings where they may come within six feet of another individual who is not from the same household.
But people of color do not have to follow the new rule if they have heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment over wearing the masks, officials said.
No person shall intimidate or harass people who do not comply, health officials said.
With mask requirements becoming more common, activists have raised concerns that the directives could put non-white people in danger.
For many black people, deciding whether or not to wear a bandanna in public to protect themselves and others from contracting coronavirus is a lose-lose situation that can result in life-threatening consequences either way, ReNika Moore, director of the ACLUs Racial Justice Program, told CNN.
Trevon Logan, who is black, said orders to wear face coverings are basically telling people to look dangerous given racial stereotypes that are out there.
This is in the larger context of black men fitting the description of a suspect who has a hood on, who has a face covering on, Logan, an economics professor at Ohio State University, told the outlet.
It looks like almost every criminal sketch of any garden-variety black suspect.

I hope so. Because my nieces are all mixed up with ghetto culture and their uh...nephews? Have chosen the black side, though raised by the white including living with white grandpa for years now (adults). 1 niece has a love child with much older half-breed ahd I fear the way the nieces are, she too will choose the ghetto culture. It’s black privilege - basically no one chooses to be white. Kaepernick, Uhbama, Ben Jealous, now Bubba Wallace, and my bro-in-law’s family - all half, choose to be black.
So Black Lives Matter does not apply if the killer is COVID-19 / young black men / etc?
Oh, the lunatics have had free reign for at least a decade now.
Columbia, SC issued a 60 mask order for the city.
I will avoid downtown as much as possible.
The Left is coming for our Rights.
So how long before the black demand that white people Genuflect when they meet a “person of color”?
But people of color do not have to follow the new rule if they have heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment over wearing the masks, officials said.
SO, it looks like the racist county wants to protect white lives while endangering non white lives. From a flu that knows who is white and who is not.
Interesting.
Interesting - reminds me of the ‘experiments’ done on minorities - with the intent to limit their population - this time, I guess by exposing them to the virus, while protecting others.
What absolute idiocy by typical LIB loser lunatic government “workers “ . What pathetic fools.
Agreed...
Unequal treatment based on race?
Sounds like that would be a violation of the Constitution.
The corporations will force us to genuflect first...and many freepers and conservatives will support it as free market at work. Sure, we’ll all be jobless but at least we’ll have our rights? Or something.
But this is a totally new one. Apparently, it is now a scientific fact that all black people have the magic bubble. Whites don't, presumably because they are all racist and privileged. So, we need to wear masks.
Fauci says conservatives don't respect science. The truth is Fauci and his Democrat dictators have made a complete mockery of science, which is why we don't respect them
I have respect for real science.
The entire world is at war with white people. It’s the only way they could make it a fair fight.

I have a “friend” that I used to really enjoy spending time with that moved to Oregon (Portland area). I had to unfriend her and her family members on FB because they are so rabidly liberal and obnoxious. She wasn’t like that prior to getting married and eventually moving out to Oregon.
On second thought, lets not go to Oregon, ‘tis a silly place.
Non-whites are the ones that most risk but aren't required to wear masks? How ass backward is that?
Technically since white is the presence of every color and black is the absence of color so I guess white people are truly people of color.
ACLU, BLM, ANTIFA , Code Pink, MeToo all have the same goal.
Reminds me of when people get down in the weeds of the differences between the Taliban and Boko harem and Isis. Call them what you want they all have the same goal
