It’s a rule in the national media that vaccine hesitancy is worthy of shame and scorn, right up until it collides with their most precious cause, the Black Lives Matter movement.
Hesitant (white) nurses? Outcast.
Hesitant (white) Facebook moms? Shun.
Hesitant (white) Trump supporters? Guillotine.
But there’s oddly been no prescription for the Black Lives Matter crew in New York who are accusing the city of racial discrimination by mandating vaccines for public, indoor activity.
Hawk Newsome, the co-founder and chairman of Black Lives Matter Greater New York, was quoted Saturday in the New York Times saying that restaurants “are using vaccine mandates to enforce their racist beliefs and excluding black patrons.”
At a protest Monday in front of New York restaurant Carmine’s, Chivona Newsome, also a co-founder of the group, said of the vaccine mandates, “What is going to stop the Gestapo, I mean the NYPD, from rounding up black people, from snatching them off the train, off the bus?”
She further issued the threat that BLM was “putting this city on notice that your mandate will not be another racist social distance practice” and that “Black people are not going to stand by, or you will see another uprising .” She said vaccine verification “is not a free passport to racism.”
The catalyst for those remarks was an incident at Carmine’s 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.
A lawyer representing Carmine’s has disputed the allegation about a racial slur. Video footage of the incident includes no audio, but what can be seen is that the three women were being led inside the restaurant by a member of staff who was not the hostess. But once inside, the hostess is seen exiting to return to her post, when all three customers turn to follow her back outside. One of them approaches the hostess from behind and begins speaking as the others circled. A fight ensues.
Lawyers for both sides agree, though, that the dispute was not over the vaccination status of the three women, but over additional members of the party, several men, who did not have vaccine cards.
The details are kind of beside the point, though. Black residents make up a higher rate of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in New York City than white residents. They’re also vaccinated at a lower rate, with 45 percent of New York City’s adult black population having been fully vaccinated, versus 56 percent of white adults.
I don’t care if anyone, regardless of race, chooses not to receive a vaccine against COVID. That’s their dice to roll. But imagine a white Trump supporter saying his right to dine indoors among strangers shall not be infringed.
Dr. Leana Wen would be on CNN for 24 hours straight assuring us that there is no constitutional entitlement to Restaurant Week.
But because we’re talking about Black Lives Matter, which can do no wrong in the media’s eyes, suddenly vaccine mandates aren’t so pressing an issue. Suddenly, groups of people with a specific demographic raging against mandates aren’t so worthy of ridicule.
Remember that the next time a mousey CNN correspondent does one of those ungodly long segments on harm to “public health” caused by vaccine hesitancy in rural communities (Trump supporters). This isn’t about public health. It’s about politics.
Lol. Good one.
Typical tactic.
3 on one is not a fight, it's an attack.
This should be good.
Note to self: "Invest in popcorn futures".
Will this be the usual lily-white BLMers protesting vax mandates? Maybe the cops can bust some heads.
“I’m guessing that BLM will now be pummeled into nonexistence.”
Nah. BLM will win this one, since when they get all fired up they burn, loot and murder. They’ll be given a free pass like the thousands invading from the south. White people will be sitting in restaurants with masks on. BLM types will come and go as they please, unmasked and unvaxxed. BLM learned a lot from the muzzies. If you blow stuff up and hurt lots of people, you get what you want. Same with rioting. Rather barbaric, but it gets results. Whites are docile and submissive now, like beaten sheep. They’re overrun and overwhelmed. And they have no leadership worth a damn.
??? uh...BLM is the new face of White Supremacy...???
uh...BLM insurrectionist counterrevolutionary conspiracy theories, uh...???...
uh...Orange Man BLM stole Russian election...???
uh...???...BLM is a Communist plot...???...oh, $#!+...
Yeah; this frauduAdmin will come up with something like the Civil Rights Act protects blacks from mandating the vaxx.
This will go to court and the compromised court will dutifully declare blacks are exempt from the mandate but no one else is. Then the browns will cry racist and be included. Of course whites and Asians will be denied a hearing since they have no standing in race matters according to the corrupt courts.
If the NFL tears up all their BLM slogans because of this, I’m double-boycotting
“because the hostess, who is of Asian descent, used a racial slur.”
So what if she did? Mere words are never sufficient provocation for assault and/or battery. That’s well established law.

The enemy of my enemy, is my friend?
Stealing that.
I have black friends who are NOT having any of this crap.
I think it would be great to do sit ins in restaurants. Have a bunch of people just enter a restaurant and sit down. If the restaurant refuses to serve them, they can just sit there and refuse to leave, and start chanting.
I am thoroughly in favor of punishing restaurant owners who are willing to be COVID Nazi’s. They only have themselves to blame for not mobilizing a year and a 1/2 ago, and refusing to follow any of these mandates.
Don’t give them any ideas.
BLM: you asked for it, you got it, now suck it.
🍿🥤🍿🥤🍿🥤
Dat’s when de “po po” are gonna come down on dem, to “learn them” some lessons they apparently only recently have come to realize.
BLM being a Marxist created organization as a fundraising front for the demonrat party-— all donations funneled through the ActBlue website that funnels to the DNC. FACT ONE— BLM’s proper role down on the gubmint plantation is to fund raise for the self same overseers political grifters who supply the tax funds for the bloated govt. agencies who can give... or take away, but in every case... redistribute OUR wealth to “others”.
best news!
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
No, they are still your enemy, but sometimes you can work with enemies to defeat a larger enemy.
Reckon where Auntie Fa stands on the Vaxx Mandate?
They should find that fat homo that wants to blow dart black people, first.
