Blatant official racial discrimination: County orders white people to wear masks in public, exempts 'persons of color’
By Thomas Lifson
Madness is in the air, with mobs terrifying guilt-ridden government officials, corporate leaders, educators, and the heads of all our significant institutions into violating previously sacred principles in an effort to prove their wokeness. The Constitution and basic concepts of justice are out the window, and we face a grim new normal in which “getting whitey†becomes acceptable behavior from governments.
How else to explain this “Face Covering Directive†from the “Health & Human Services†mandarins of Lincoln County, Oregon, signed by Rebecca Austen, Lincoln County Public Health Administrator and Dr. David Long, Lincoln County Health Officer.
The relevant portions read:
General directive: All individuals in Lincoln County are required to wear face coverings during any indoor public setting or outdoor public location where a person will be in within six feet of another individual, who does not share the same household.
And the exceptions allowed:
Persons with health/medical conditions that preclude or are exacerbated by wearing a face covering.
· Children under the age of 12. Children over the age of 2 but under the age of 12 are encouraged to wear face coverings but not required to do so.
· Persons with disabilities that prevents them from using the face covering as described in this Directive. These persons must be reasonably accommodated to allow them access to goods and services.
· People of color who have heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment due to wearing face coverings in public.
