(PatrioticPost.com)- If you live in Oregon, you only have to obey the rules and local laws if you’re white. That’s what a new exemption for non-white people has established in Lincoln County. Last week, it was announced by health officials from the region that all residents must wear a face covering or a mask when they’re in public, or when they come within six feet of another person who doesn’t share their same household…but it only applies to you if you are white.
If you are a “person of color,” then you simply don’t need to follow they rule. All you need to do is say that you have “heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment” and if you do that, you don’t have to wear the mask.
“No person shall intimidate or harass people who do not comply,” according to Lincoln County health officials. Activists claim that the wearing of masks could put non-white people in danger.
Seriously.
ReNika Moore, a director of the Racial Justice Program at the far-left ACLU, told CNN that if black people wear a mask it could result in death.
“For many black people, deciding whether or not to wear a bandanna in public to protect themselves and others from contracting coronavirus is a lose-lose situation that can result in life-threatening consequences either way,” she claimed.
She wasn’t the only person to make the same insane claim, either. Trevon Logan, a professor of economics from Ohio State University, told the media that mask orders for black people are a way of telling them to “look dangerous.” Logan blamed racial stereotypes of black people wearing face coverings, but failed to explain who, in the history of America, has ever stereotyped black people as wearing medical face masks.
“This is in the larger context of black men fitting the description of a suspect who has a hood on, who has a face covering on,” he said.
Before these exemptions, the only people exempted from wearing the masks in Oregon and elsewhere were children under the age of 12, and people with disabilities or medical conditions that meant they can’t wear a mask.
