Why are they even asking the race of the respondents? Unless they are purposely creating division and race-hate?
Jewish people are less likely to wear a Star of David when in contact with people outside of their household, according to a newly released survey.
- CNN, circa 1930
“Wearing a mask is the sign that we have capitulated to their made-up mandates.
I am NOT wearing a mask because I am free.”
This ^^^^^^
People want to wear one? Fine by us, you are a free people. But do not think for a second that your opinions allow you to encroach on our freedom.
“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.”
— Thomas Jefferson
In an aside, Sonia Sotomayor is a white Hispanic. I’m just sayin’.
Like George Zimmerman.
Right you are.
Around liberal Tucson (when I have to go there), I get along with the Mexicans FAR better than I do most of the whites. Used to wear a Trump 2020 mask. Got LOTS of thumbs up and big smiles from Mexicans. Lots of ugly stares from hippy white liberals.
Well Joe Biden is the Supreme White Guy. Be has the power of life and death over almost the entire world.
The think the various ethnic groups of the world would figure out that the ChiComs invented COVID, released it as and act of biological warfare to rid the world of all non Chinese populations.
Black people more likely to commit violent crime.
White people more likely to not wanna wear a mask.
Choose your fighter.
It seems that a large percentage of them are doing what they've been trained by the left to do for their entire lives: following orders, being emotionally triggered, and waiting for their "betters" (a.k.a. elitist liberals) to tell them what to do and what to think next.
But it isn't confined to black Americans, it is the same with liberals of any color, class, etc.
“where’s the proof that they have made one bit of difference?”
The question I’ve been asking since last August. As a data guy, masks have been the most unscientific boatload of absolute stupidity I’ve seen.
Before asking that question, I created several tests and demonstrations of why they wouldn’t work. The number of normally intelligent adults I’ve seen doing the equivalent of sticking their fingers in there ears and yelling ‘la la la la’ is depressing.
Once it became a ‘virtue’ to wear a mask science and critical thought took a back seat. “Other people are afraid, you need to wear one to make them feel safe.” - One of the illogical arguments put to me in discussion.
At our vet they are supposed to answer the phone but they never do. After waiting 20 minutes one time, now I use a Sharpie and write out the dog’s name and prescription, knock on the window and hold it up.
Every time the gals laugh and say “good idea!”
Written back in June:
I wore my virtue today.
It started as a ‘just in case’ thing as I knew I might be visiting a restaurant. In many restaurants you must show your virtue before you receive a drink. So, with a slight bit of disgust I took my virtue and carried it a safe place.
Before I went to eat I stopped by a bicycle shop to see about getting my wife a new bike. All of the people working at the shop had their virtue on display. Some more prominent than others. Some covering chins, some mouths and the remaining virtue covered both mouth and nose. What a sight! It was not only the employees showing their virtue. About a third of the customers had theirs on display. The shades and colors of the homemade virtue dazzled. The child sized virtue worn by one man was adorable. It almost completely covered the sides of his mouth! Oh to have such childlike virtue again.
As I left I saw that one of the patrons was so proud of her virtue that she wore it driving! I wonder if she wears it while cycling? So much virtue must be difficult to maintain.
My virtue remained hidden.
“Oh my” I pondered, “Whatever will others think of me? That I have no virtue to display, that I am cruel and don’t care of others?” In a panic I check to see if my virtue is still safely protected. It is! Folded gently and placed in it’s warm safe place my virtue remains.
I arrived at the restaurant and walked to the door. The instructions signaled that virtue must be displayed openly if one wants to enter. Dutifully I pulled my virtue out of it’s nest and placed it over my face. What a proud moment! My virtue covered my mouth as if to say ‘I speak no evil!’ and tugged down at the end of my nose to make sure it doesn’t point too high in the air. I feel the humility of this act of contrition as I walk in the door.
I smile at the young lady standing behind the counter inside. She can’t see my real smile, but she can see my virtue so proudly on display. I note that her virtue is yellow in color with paper straps. Weak and disposable virtue. I can see her evaluate my virtue and her eyes smile. I wonder if that’s a good thing. I decide that I like it. I walk proudly to my table and order my drink. My virtue is prominently displayed. The other patrons, a safe distance away, look at me as they eat their food and drink their beverages. They can see that I’m virtuous!
When the waitress arrives with my drink I’m reluctant to draw down my virtue. What was proudly displayed must be tucked away out of necessity. Slowly, I remove my hands from the table and pull my virtue down below my chin. I’m once again just ‘normal’. No virtue showing I eat my food. It’s a guilty feeling that pulls my head closer to the table and draws my arms in to shield my shame. If only I could hide my face with my virtue.
When the food is removed from the table and the bill is signed I am once again able to show my virtue. I don’t have a good feeling this time. I’m left wondering about the whole experience. I have a better insight into the lady in the car. I think I understand the child like virtue. I know they are both trying to avoid shame and the best way to do that is to have your virtue shine so brightly that no one looks at you like you have no virtue at all.
I have observed that in general black people where I work are far more concerned about COVID than white people. I work with a few well educated smart black people that will nearly panic if someone approaches without a mask. It’s bizarre.
Studies about what white people are likely or unlikely to do: Cool
Studies about what black people are likely or unlikely to do: RACISM!
Not just Asians -- individuals of Northern European descent seem to be less vulnerable to RNA viruses.
Other RNA viruses that seem to affect those of sub-Saharan descent more severely include Ebola, HIV and Hepatitis C.
I'm old enough to remember when Fauci was claiming that AIDS was going to break out in the general population. Now nearly 40 years later, about the only group not considered at high risk for HIV infection is White heterosexual men.
Isaiah 50:6-8
6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7 For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me
