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.”

Whenever something I vote for (or against) in CA actually passes, I figure I must have somehow voted incorrectly and it gives me pause. :)
phony tony vax unites the country?
Of course, I can see Biden caving....for BLM. As for anyone else who doesn’t trust the government? He’ll still force the job...too bad.
*jab*
You're feeding into the false narrative of the Left regarding treatment by the medical profession.
The rumor of CIA pushing drugs on AAs is just that....a rumor. Blacks have long been users of drugs, on their own, well before CIA came into existence.
Make taking the vaccines a requirement for all entitlements.
I think you’re on to the primary issue.....money!
What a dilemma to find yourself in agreement with a bunch of thugs . . .
There seems to be two sides to BLM: the side that works to redirect Black Americans into a communist agenda and instigate them against White Americans; and the practical side that has to voice and work for Black Americans' legitimate interests just enough (and no more than necessary) to win their support.
At least in my part of Pennsyltucky performance venues are requiring BOTH government issued ID AND “proof of vaccination”.
They won’t be seeing me.
Add my vote to the Shakedown Hypothesis. These people don’t change.
But then the Democrats have enacted de facto segregation without de jure segregation! No more of those nasty negroes running around when the enlightened ones go to their Whole Foods to shop!
“Stroke of the pen, law of the land! Pretty neat, huh?”
Yes I don’t think whites have been treated well in many instances either!
I don’t think the CIA is making African Americans drug addicts. But some in the AA community do.
I’m not feeding into a false narrative. Just explaining why BLM opposes and, given the facts of serious non consensual experimentation on black Americans and serious substantiated sub standard medical are, I am saying they have a leg to stand on.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend…..?????
nah not so
I was just thinking wow, I agree with blm on something. No mandatory vaccine mandates. Don’t care what color you are.
I want to see riots, looting and burning or is BLM is nothing but talk now?
Maybe BLM is rethinking its positions?
Their peeps are being denied entry into certain establishments because of the ID passports.
How about Pure Bloods VS the Vaxx Crips. Not only do I support BLM on this,Antifa would have to see how Fascist it is to mandate vaxx.
