Oregon County requires white people to wear masks, POC exempt

[coins4commies]

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lincoln-county-oregon-exempts-people-of-color-from-mandatory-coronavirus-mask-policy/

An Oregon county has decided to make people of color exempt from its mandatory mask policy, citing the potential for racial profiling. The decision comes as multiple counties in Oregon have ramped up face-covering requirements to slow the spread of coronavirus.


Lincoln County's general directive requires everyone to wear a face-covering in any indoor public setting, or any outdoor setting where six feet of social distancing can't be maintained. But the county wrote on its website that "People of color who have heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment due to wearing face coverings in public" are exempt from the rule.

People who deny racism are going to love this one.  The reality in the US is that a black or latinx cannot walk into a business with their face covered without being looked at suspiciously.  Its more of a danger to POC than COVID.  This is also in a county that has so few POC that there won't likely be a lot of them together so as long as all the white people wear masks, there won't be many places for the virus to go.

Actually this order is prima-face evidence of racism against White people. The order is also clearly unconstitutional as it violates the 14th amendment on the basis that it does not provide for equal protection under the law and the 1st amendment on the basis that it forces speech.

People (in places like the Portland metro area) are STILL arguing that this is racist against 'poc' because it shows that whitey who writes the laws are trying to put 'poc' at extra risk from the dreaded kobe wirus.

This whole identity politics stuff is truly mind-bendingly absurd.  I'm confident to say that it is a design goal.

I kind of wish I was back in my home state (and country) just so I could walk around without a mask and loudly exclaim that "I'm not white...I'm Jewish!"  I might even put the Star-of-Remphan arm band on to ensure that nobody can say anything derogatory about me even if I start killing Muslim kids since Zionism is protected by U.S. law here in the days of Trumpstein.

Actually I don't and never did live in Lincoln county, but it has been under increasingly strong occupation by the 'libtards' for quite a while now.  The 'tardism can and will spread like a cancer from Metro down past Eugene, and cancers that start down there spread upwards as well.  The intelligentsia tend to have beach places over by the coast and have turned that NW part of the state into clown-show-land for sure.

It just shows that any special rules based on race are racist.

Like affirmative action.

Treat everyone the same. This will eliminate racism.

I was wondering what kind of pretzel you're gonna bake out of this. Do you really think it's ok to say - we don't trust your dark face if it's covered so don't, even at risk of getting a deadly virus or passing it to someone else? How exactly is this going to help with profiling if you're telling people "profile yourselves if you don't want us to profile you".

And I bet no one really thought this through beyond making a feel-good declaration. Is the police or the health department or whoever the fuck enforces this nonsense going to demand papers from people to prove that they are indeed non-white? Or is it going to be enforced by vigilantes posting pictures of non-compliant residents on social media? This has a spectacular potential to go very very wrong.

Before the law, everyone must be equal and skin color is certainly not an argument not to wear a mask.

It seems to me that in America there's been a marked degradation of people lately... Floyd, who was a criminal and served six times in prison, has almost become a saint today. When I heard about Floyd's scholarship, I thought the world had gone crazy.

The Lincoln County law is a way to wipe out blacks, or so they think.

They think that people will be safe if they wear masks. Exempting blacks will cause the blacks to get the disease and die, they think.

Blacks need to outsmart them by wearing masks voluntarily.

Blacks need to outsmart them by wearing masks voluntarily.

But then they "cannot walk into a business with their face covered without being looked at suspiciously" according to the OP, which is apparently worse than the virus.

[coins4commies]

Wearing a mask is not to protect you from the virus, its to protect everyone else from you being able to spread the virus.  The important thing to know here is that this county is overwhelmingly white so you achieve the goal of most of the population wearing a mask.  If there is one POC in a store and they are the only one without a mask, no one can get them sick because they all have masks on.  The only situation where this could be a problem is if a bunch of POC congregated in one business all without masks which is not something that this county has.

Also, in a POC businesses, POC can wear their masks and wouldn't have to worry as much about being mistaken as a robber, shot, or having police called on them because of their color.  The risk is only elevated when POC enter white spaces with their face covered.

They are just trying to start a race war, from all angles..

Race race race race race

REEeeeeeeeeeFuckingDiculous


It's probably more like "Voter ID is racist because blacks don't know how to get IDs"
But.. "Forcing blacks to wear face masks too is racist because they don't know how to get, or can't afford, face masks"

You can end the contortions. The county backed off this nonsense and rescinded the exemption. There was no way this was going to work out as intended, whether the intent was to protect the feewings of allegedly racist white business owners, or to protect people of color against profiling, or to make county bureaucrats feel better about themselves.

The Board of Commissioners wrote that “the county received several calls from leadership from our communities of color asking us to revise the policy — it was not providing them protection, but instead making them possible targets for more hate.

Could have paved a four-lane highway to hell with that one.

[coins4commies]

Yeah I totally get it and its true.  White people who don't want to wear masks would call reverse racism and hold resentment against POC who don't wear masks.  People think talking about race is racist therefore anything you would do to try and protect people from racism is racist itself.  That attitude is why the US has never been able to reconcile its racist past.

Wearing a mask....
Also, in a POC businesses, POC can wear their masks and wouldn't have to worry as much about being mistaken as a robber, shot, or having police called on them because of their color.  The risk is only elevated when POC enter white spaces with their face covered.

NO! Cutting out the curious contortions of coinsforcommies?

[Subbir]

This racist identity is more common among Americans They observed many differences between black skin and white skin I would like to stay them break away from the community. this is often why the White race needs to wear masks to be easily identified but nobody has identified this racism Everyone disagrees White race wanted to expel them from society nobody was ready to identify racism due to the granting of citizenship.

There is no reverse racism. Just racism. This policy was the definition of racist. Shithustlers like you are why racism is still an issue because you feed off of it like a Marxist tick. This policy was never about any logic, it is about training people to be submissive and follow orders regardless of how nonsense they are.

[madnessteat]

Racism is another way to control people. But for us to be easy to control, we must first be separated. Separation can be based on the color of our skin at least on religious or political views. Until most people realize that we are separated on purpose, nothing will change.

[eddie13]

Another Marxist trick..

War between the sexes didn't work..
War between the classes didn't work..
Now they are trying war between the races..

All part of the grand global communist scheme to gain more authoritarian power over people..

Be sure to check out the many links at the article. And be careful to not be buddies with people of interracial groups. Blacks will call you a racist for not sticking up for your own.


UCLA students trying to lynch professor for refusing to give automatic passing grades to all blacks

Using George Floyd as an excuse, a cohort of black students enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) recently demanded that one of their professors postpone their examinations as a show of “solidarity” with “people of color.” When they were told no, however, they proceeded to politically lynch said professor by calling for his immediate firing.

While unsuccessful, this angry mob of entitled malcontents did succeed in getting Professor Gordon Klein placed on temporary leave as a form of punishment for his refusal to give black students special treatment. More than 20,000 people are said to have signed a petition calling for Klein’s firing, even though he did nothing wrong.

In response to his black students’ demands, Klein quoted civil rights champion Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in stating:

“Remember that MLK famously said that people should not be evaluated based on the ‘color of their skin.’ Do you think that your request would run afoul of MLK’s admonition?”

This response was meant to get Klein’s black students to rethink their request in light of the colorblind position of Dr. King, who if he were alive today would be utterly ashamed of racist movements like Black Lives Matter. Instead, these black students lashed out in anger against Klein and called for him to be “canceled” from UCLA for the “crime” of upsetting them.

Keep in mind that Klein has been teaching at UCLA for 39 years, and has no record of inappropriate behavior. His only “scarlet letter,” so to speak, is refusing to put black people on a pedestal at the expense of white and other non-black people. In other words, he embraces equality – and for this, he has to go, according to the left.

I'd say it was all of those things. Seems like the public goal of those involved in making up this (interesting) rule was to

A mask mandate exemption for people of color meant to address racial profiling concerns has been removed after racist backlash, Oregon county officials said in a statement.

Not sure what the local officals thought was going to happen here. This was obviously a bad thought process that would only lead to more discrimination. You're now allowing an entire group of people to avoid wearing a mask, and singling them out when you're issuing the guidelines. Now everyone is wearing masks but the black people. Not even sure how this would even prevent racial profiling, seems like all it would do is increase it due to one group of people being singled out an in attempt to 'help' them.

Talk about patronizing a group of people.
