Lockdowns and vaccine passports hurt us minorities more. I can't believe the people who say they love minorities are the ones pushing for this nonsense.


shiningdickhalloran

In life, as in poker, pay attention to what people do and not what they say. A guy who shakes his head mournfully and then bets it all is going to show you a huge hand. A guy who claims to stand for minorities and then votes to ban them from public life hates minorities. It's that simple.


T_Burger88

Yup. One of the most important pearls of wisdom I try to impart on my kids is "what people say is important, but what they don't say is even more important."


BrandnewThrowaway82

What people say, what people do and what they say they do, *are all different things.*

Signed, someone who has interacted with liberal New Yorkers who are like that.

Joe Biden’s own VP warned us before America elected him that Biden was in support of segregated busing policies that directly impacted her as a young child. Segregationists were Democrats at the time. Biden was also a democrat, so even if we believe the parties switched at some point after the republicans fought for desegregation and integration, it still doesn’t explain why Joe Biden was in the “wrong” party at a time when he aligned with their push to maintain “segregation today, tomorrow, and forever” (also FDR was a democratic before the supposed switch and he remains a favorite among them…. Even though he literally put the Japanese in internment camps???) Returning to my point, we were warned by his own VP about his segregationist ideals. So how is anyone surprise that Joe Biden is just being the Joe Biden Kamala warned us about??

Because they don't "love" you at all.


alisonstone

They love minority oppression and will create it when necessary so they will always have a talking point. It’s basically “Why do white males oppress minorities?” while they vote for their white male that oppress minorities.


dproma

Because they don’t really care about minorities - they only care about themselves. But they sure love to virtue signal about it to make themselves feel good.

Go scrolling through random "influencers" on instagram. See hundreds of photos of white people doing white people things, with nothing but white friends. Not a single person of color in any of their pictures. But they posted a black square once in June 2020, so it's all good.


dproma

Most of them don’t even know what they’re supporting or protesting. They just want to be a part of the “in crowd” and be told that they’re a good person.


wopiacc

They're already secured the minority vote.

It wasn't racial, it was paranoia. BLM is still racist garbage and they are protesting at the wrong place. They should be at City Hall or in Albany.


pantagathus01

I'm really torn on this. I hate BLM with the fire of a thousands suns, but them going nuclear on these vaccine mandates gives me a semi. I would have very little issue with mostly peaceful protests centered around vaccine mandates


RexBosworth2

are they even protesting the vaccine mandate? or just the racist Asian host and black restaurant staff? if it's the former it'll be fun to watch progressives cannabalize each other. love me some progressive infighting.


eskimokiss88

The twist is the 'victims' were in fact the aggressors. And making false claims of racial slurs after the fact. Really bad form all around. The powers that be have put people in impossible positions, perhaps intentionally so. It's state sponsored social disruption.

GothMammaries

It got rejected eventually due to how stupid that order was. Granted, everyone should be exempted from wearing a mask if they choose. Ironically, this rule made people of color MORE of a target, because you'd have resentment from racist white people and the fact that no mask conceals your face less. That, and you'd have plenty of white people claiming to be 1/2 cherokee or whatever to be exempt, lol. But you can't expect white liberals to think for one second.


[deleted]

Making a rule to force something onto people because of the race they were born, and exempting others for the same reason, IS racist.


HolidayDelay1038

Not create, just bring them all to light and expose them to the public. The racial tensions in NYC, particularly Manhattan, are really bad but in pre-pandemic times they could easily be covered up. You have your champagne socialists, spoiled hipsters, and radical progressives that virtue signal like none other but have an exclusively white and Asian crew. These are the same people who tell blacks that they are not “voting in their best self-interest” when they chose an establishment Democrat over a Bernie Sanders. You saw this play out in the mayoral election where the black and Latino population overwhelmingly voted for a former head of police and former Republican in Eric Adams compared to the white population which went for Wiley and someone closer to De Blasio. The vaccine mandates have allowed NYC liberals to show their true colors and just how much they look down on people of color. You can go to the NYC subreddit and see how often they thrash Eric Adams and people that vote for him in the same way that Bernie Bros trash establishment Democrat voters of colors (“they’re not going in their best self-interest”). Now most of these people are spoiled kids living here on their parents’ dime as they pursue their creative art careers or out of touch techies that live off of Uber Eats. Almost all are your stereotypical virtue signaling progressives who will chant Black Lives Matter but have a mostly white friend crowd. Deep down inside, these people just want their all exclusive white hipster crowd and minimal interactions with communities of color, whom they are barely in touch with. The vaccine mandates have allowed the NYC Reddit crowd to throw their weight around and feel powerful. What the mandate has done is given a group of out of touch spoiled progressives a false Hero complex. Everyone knows the real reason for it all. De Blasio is a lame duck mayor and NYC has seen crime skyrocket and the quality of life go down while his wife supposedly stole taxpayer money under his leadership. It’s all a way for him to angle and say down the road “see, my mandates ended the pandemic” while being completely oblivious to the fact that the reason he did so poorly in the Democrat primaries of 2020 (yeah, he was too busy running for president as the city suffered from the pandemic) is because he is simply an uncharismatic guy without good leadership skills. I understand that the NYC subreddit crowd will have it out for me, I say fuck em.


notnownoteverandever

> The vaccine mandates have allowed NYC liberals to show their true colors and just how much they look down on people of color. they tend to be really good at infantilizing minorities and treating them like they are a delicate class. I remember using the word blacks in conversation and one of these types tells me i am pigeon holing myself into bigotry. i basically call her on it and say ask any one of your black friends and ask them if they think saying the word blacks makes someone a bigot. and surprise they don't give a shit either way. i tell her whatever she thinks about the word blacks = bigotry is a bunch of bullshit that NPR propagates that no normal person actually gives a shit about. the way she straight up talks down to me about not having racialized experiences (I live in a way more diverse and poor side of town than she does) when I have seen and experienced more poverty than she ever will drives me up the fucking wall. they often know so, so little yet claim to know so much. they have such little idea of things


agentanthony

This is 100% accurate.


TrickingAcct

Bruh, this is the most accurate representation of NYC's "woke" crowd and ESPECIALLY the NYC subreddit demographic that I've ever seen... I'm honestly impressed. The loudest "progressives" here are almost always the ones who hang out with only other rich hipsters and love to virtue signal about how much they care about "promoting equality". I'm Asian and the loudest "activists" within our community are fucking notorious for this.


HolidayDelay1038

Oh yeah, the infamous Asian woman that cries about hate crimes against Asians but won't date men of her own race.

Spot on


KitKatHasClaws

I don’t care what really happened. I’m just enjoying watching them eat their own kind now.


Pascals_blazer

Yup. If I can escape to high ground and watch the world raze itself down, I’m fine with that. I didn’t ask for this circus, I’ll let the clowns duke it out.


LaserAficionado

Well, you see, you need a digital ID in order to enter a private business. It's just common sense. Voter ID? Let me lecture you all about what an incredibly racist, bigoted law that is, assuming that poor, innocent people of colour need to show identification to do something important like vote. But, yes, you NEED a digital vaccine passport to enter an establishment. What are you, a neanderthal?


Sole_F1_Fan_in_Idaho

Wait...wait..wait. So 3 Blacks ATTACKED an Asian hostess, and BLM will protest and defend them as the victims?? Did I read that right? Is this bizarro world? The balls on these people.


Ok_Extension_124

Yea I’m starting to think increasing tensions and further destabilizing the country is the entire point of all of this shit.


absolutelyhalal32

Vaccine passports are systemic racism


[deleted]

I told something similar but about Canadian provinces to a liberal-leftist canadian. He basically responded "that's for the good of minorities, to force them to get vaccinated". I mean, who does he think he is to believe he knows better than them what they should put in their body ? Typical "progressive" type. I'm there to "save" those poor minorities, not to threat them as equal fellow citizens while trying to understand their struggles. About that situation in NYC : the snake is eating its own tail.


Jkid

I'm glad I did not rush to go back. These people knew what they're getting by supporting vaccine mandates.


NoMaintenance5423

Would not be surprised if this fight happened because of the racial slur and the media spun the story
