CNN Suggests Wearing a Face Mask in Public is Racist

Because black people are treated like criminals if they do the same.

Published 10 hours ago

on 7 April, 2020

CNN has published a lengthy article suggesting that wearing face masks to guard against coronavirus is racist due to African-Americans not being able to wear them over fears they will be treated like criminals.

Yes, really.

Noting that the CDC has encouraged all Americans to wear face masks in the fight against COVID-19, Trevor Logan, an economics professor at Ohio State University, says he “will not be following this guidance.”

“We have a lot of examples of the presumed criminality of black men in general,” Logan, who presumably isn’t knowledgable about FBI crime statistics, told CNN.

If there is any racism in wearing a mask -- and I emphasize 'IF" --  then these folks brought it on themselves.  The gangstas have always worn bandannas over their faces to commit crime  It's just like hoodies.  In my neck of the woods, when I walk into a business, I automatically undo the hood even though an old lady with a cane is unlikely to be a robber.  But because anyone with a hood could be a robber, it is customary to put the hood down so as to not look threatening.

The commies and their allies in the media are following the advice of never letting a crisis go to waste and arw using this pandemic as a reason to promote their agenda.  Today, it's the never-ending theme of racism and victimhood.  If something is wrong in your life, it's because whitey is racist.  Well, ok then, tell African-Americans not to wear a face covering.  So they contract the disease and die because they didn't protect themselves, is that going to be whitey's fault too?

Even If I wear a black mask?


...Or is that cultural appropriation?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

So true. I showed it (on VHS) to a crew of barely 20 somethings just over 20 years ago.
They were mortified! Not a chuckle.

But put on Rocky Horror Picture Show and it was a different story... :shrug:

Funny........... I thought from the headline that the "racism" was against Asians, since they're the ones who wear surgical masks in airports and everywhere they travel.

Who'd a thunk it was racist against African-Americans to wear an N95 mask??   *****rollingeyes*****

Everything is rayciss against African Americans.   *****rollingeyes*****

As I am reading this, Fox News is running a story the Blacks and Latinos are hardest hit.

Several left leaning politicans and media are already painting this whole response and treatment thing racist, because certain races have more tendency toward obesity, and high blood pressure.....   A thus suffer more under the virus.

Rocky Horror is a GREAT movie. Tim Curry was cheated out of an Oscar on that one.

I have it on DVD,and watch it every Halloween. It never gets old.

BTW,Curry had a 3 episode appearance on Criminal Minds as a serial killer several years ago that has to be seen to be believed. Flat scared the hell out of me.

Curry gives Hopkins and Nicholson both a good run for their money on creating "creepy" roles.

I remember being surprised to see most of them wearing those paper masks in the winter when I first went to Asia in 1965. It was explained to me they did this because they all lived so close together they had to take special precautions to keep from getting and spreading colds and flues.

The real racism now is against Asian-Americans.  I've read a number of reports of people of Asian descent being harassed, spit upon, told to go back to where they came from and a few have been physically assaulted.  In my neck of the woods, there was a rumor going around that Asian restaurants were deliberately infecting their food with the virus.   Stupid people.

So where are the Democrats in this situation?  Haven't heard them say anything about this kind of racism.  Do they think those of Asian descent aren't as important?  Hint to Democrats:  Asians vote too,

I can't even watch the ads for it!

@musiclady

You must be talking about the series itself,because there were no adds for the Tim Curry episodes.

He may be the best dramatic actor I have ever seen. You would never guess that after watching him playing "Dr. Frankerfurter" in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". For reasons I don't understand,"Rocky" seemed to have killed his movie career. Can't remember ever seeing him in anything since other than that 3 episode serial killer plot in "Criminal Minds."
