A Black Lives Matter leader is threatening an “uprising” over mandatory vaccinations and vaccine passports in New York.
New York City’s vaccine mandate began on Sept. 13. It requires proof of vaccination entry to certain public spaces, including gyms, restaurants, and bars, unless a person has an approved medical exemption.
New York officials call the program the “Key to NYC Pass.”
Hawk Newsome, the co-founder and chairman of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York (BLMGNY), argues the mandates are fundamentally racist, given the low rate of vaccination in the black community.
Some 85.6 percent of black people in the state of New York remain without one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, according to state data.
“I think, in a perfect world, [vaccine requirements] should be business by business. But it could be a slippery slope, so the mandate should be removed completely,” Newsome told the Washington Examiner.
“It’s not gonna be white men in suits on Wall Street who are gonna get stopped. There’s such hypocrisy in this thing.”

When I find myself on the same side as blm.....I have to rethink my positions.
What the heck is BLM’s angle in this??
Black Vaccinated Lives Matter.
When your enemies are fighting one another, never intervene!
The mandates are racist,substitute the word blacks or jews for othe wrd unvaccinated and see if you agree.
Wondered when this situation would surface. It’s racist to expect people to get an ID. Can’t get jab without ID. Thus, not allowing people to enter a business without a jab is racist.
Blm made their bed....let ‘em lie in it.
Ha ha the 50 or so businesses and homes I see around here with Black Lives Matter racist signs in their windows are now advertising they are anti vax. What will they do now.
The obamatards simply wont vaxx because they think it’s a white man thing. Unless they pay off the LBM “leader” to speak up for vaccines which I think will happen. It’s like the when the NAACP embarrassed themselves for “siding” with gays when almost every black dude I know despise faggots..
Funny thing is, in cities located in countries where there are few blacks, BLM sides with the fascist AntiFa, in siding with the gubmint, pushing manditory vaccines and lockdowns.
Good one!
in re BLM’s angle I think the have a leg to stand on.
Historically the medical profession has been pretty bad to African American populations. The Tuskegee experiment is the classic horror but underfunding, denial of care, denying pain control, etc., - and there is the constant rumor that there is a high addiction rate in the African American populations because the CIA etc. has pushed drugs on them.
So they don’t trust the forced vaccines and honestly I don’t blame them on that.
Hell’s freezing over, I agree with BLM.
Probably an old-fashioned, Jesse Jackson, race-huslting shakedown.
White people must still get it though. /sarcasm
The BLM leadership is just shaking down politicians for a bribe.
Once they get their payoff, they will become suddenly quiet.
Biden is sucking hind teat right now.
Oh no……..QBLMAnon has arrived.
Better re-fence D.C……………
