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.”

You think I’m stupid BarbM. OMG. I’m so hurt.
As for why I worked there? It paid me. That’s why.
As for being racist. I mentioned nothing about race that would qualify.
But then again, you don’t seem too smart so I’ll end it right there.
Liberals believe that you should measure racism based on disparate impact regardless of intent, unless of course it makes liberals look bad.
It might also explain the tendency of giving kids weird names with many possible alternative spellings. "Hey, I'm not the Loquisha Jones you're looking for, I'm LAquisha Jones!"
What it always is ... rules don't apply to blacks.
“Some 85.6 percent of black people in the state of New York remain without one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine”
That is impressive.
FWIW, I’m short statistically less of them risk losing their livelihoods over it.
