Now racism is a “public health crisis” in Nevada, justifying executive action
hotair.com ^ | 8/9/2020 | Jazz Shaw

Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak has jumped on the recent bandwagon of declaring racism to be a public health crisis. He signed an executive order declaring this to be the case last Wednesday. As a Democratic governor in a purplish state, this was probably a no-brainer for Sisolak, though some might wonder why he waited this long when several other states, along with multiple larger cities and counties have already done it. His explanation, as shown in the excerpt below from the Reno Gazette-Journal, is pretty much standard boilerplate from the DNC and many activist groups. The real question, which we’ll get to in a moment, is what he does with this newly declared state of emergency.

Nevada is the latest state to declare racism a public health crisis.

In a state where minorities make up more than half the population, Gov. Steve Sisolak on Wednesday signed a proclamation aimed at raising awareness “so Nevada does not perpetuate poor health outcomes due to systemic racism during and after the pandemic,” according to a Governor’s Office press release.

Nevada is one of a handful of states, including Colorado, Ohio and Wisconsin and more than 20 cities and counties nationwide, to have declared racism a public health crisis.

“Institutional and systemic racism has gone on far too long in this country and in this state. Based on research, we are taking a proactive approach in joining fellow leaders around the country to declare racism as a public health crisis,” Sisolak said.

OFFS! Missed this last week. But being the useless SOS that sissypants is, not shocked. And, sorry Jazz, NevaDUH ain't "purplish" at all. Red is dead for NevaDUH. Still trying though.

“Institutional and systemic dumbassery has gone on far too long in this country and in this state." Sigh!

Again - “racism” has NOTHING to do with “health” and this is just chicanery for the executive office to create law by fiat by another blue state governor.

Isn’t largely banning church gatherings while allowing gambling evidence of institutional and systemic bias against Christians.

Fox 13, Tampa had a segment the other night about a group that is addressing “health equity” in the Tampa area.

So racists have to wear masks and gloves in public so they don’t infect others? Like cooties?

Whitmer, too. Right.
////////////////////////

By the way, BLM and Black Caucus are bigots. As Rush started disseminating about 20 years ago, a “bigot” includes a closed minded, biased prejudiced black person who will not tolerate white people. Just as a 1950s white sheriff with dogs menacing black people was a bigot.

The blacks in governor, mayor,House, Senate and city councils’
offices who hate whites and do everything to exclude and punish them....are black racists.

So this means they are racists who should be punished for their harm to public health and causing a crisis. Right? /s

Banning HCQ has been a health crisis- NOT racism-

-———How many black people were killed by whites in racist events last year?

Answer = Hardly any at all- you’ll be hard pressed to find actual cases of murders committed by white racists

—————How many unarmed black folks were killed by police all of last year unjustifiably?

ANSWER= 2- and those officers involved in those 2 cases were convicted-

-—————How many black people were killed by the virus in just a few months because they couldn’t get lifesaving HCQ because a liberal governor banned it in their state?

Answer = 10’s of 1000’s

There’s your dang health crisis! Racist murders isn’t even a blip on the scale compared to the virus and banning HCQ

Yes it is-

Democrats are engaging in systemic bias against Christians and conservatives that support Trump

The media is silent about it though- Whites and conservatives and Christians don’t matter-

Obviously, that is the way it ALWAYS was going to go. They just needed to wait for the right moment, and covid19 / antifa riot time is the right time to pull another fast one on an unsuspecting, brain-dead public.

From racism, it will magically morph to “using the wrong pronouns gets you thrown in jail.” It’s coming.

Well, with the “emergency” declaration, the govs can do things they weren’t able to during “normal” times.
