I wonder what effect banning 50% of blacks from gyms, ostensibly for their health, will have?  Especially in the dead of winter, when its impossible to get exercise outside?

I wonder how the black owned businesses on the south and west side are dealing with 50% of their clientele being barred entry.
Then maybe people should stop trusting Joe Rogan, Alex Jones and those stupid f[inks]ING Boomer memes on Facebook. Those are literally the only arguments against being vaccinated.

Damn, your responses are just getting dumber and dumber.  The small businesses should do that?  What are you even responding to?

I'm sure most black people are getting their information from Joe Rogan and Alex Jones, sure.  In the meantime, you agree that there is a lockdown, but its okay because its a lockdown of the undesireables.
Not really because a lockdown isn't really the case if it's voluntary. Everyone "locked down" now is because they CHOOSE to not be vaccinated.

Why not just throw them in jail? They CHOSE not to be vaccinated, after all.

50% of Black Chicagoans are currently barred from all gyms, restuarants, and entertainment venues.

I wonder if they feel locked down.
Who cares? They chose to not get vaccinated. Restrictions that affect vaccinated people are the only had ones. Unvaccinated people are just pure complete total MORONS.
Dude, at least try to be funny when you're being racist.
It has nothing to do with race. No one is being banned from such places because of race but because of vaccinated status.

So instead of using even half a brain cell to consider pre-existing conditions, legitimate distrust of the government, differing sources of information between racial communities, different levels of access to health resources, etc. that might cause for understandably different vaccination rates between racial groups, you instead choose to say that doesn't matter, and in effect, blacks are much more likely to be complete morons than whites?
I mean yeah there is other sources of misinformation across communities, but a lot just spreads things that originate from people like those two. John Oliver covered this:



But what legitimate reason to not get vaccinated exists? I've only heard this conspiracy junk and those stupid f[inks]ING Boomer memes.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I would appreciate it even more if Joe could tell that to my university.

They should probably have vaccines available at the gym for people concerned about their health enough to want to work out there.

When Biden's more based than the UK Prime Minister

England ends Covid restrictions including mask wearing next week, will live with it. This was literally in the news today.

Yawn. You and Santander can save your faux-outrage for another day. Not buying it.

So when the criminal justice system has racially-disproportionate outcomes, that is white supremacy, but when public health measures do, that's just because black people are morons?

I don't apologize for not getting in line with upper-middle class liberal whites who want to virtue signal about what good people they are by imposing tyranny on others.

In my experience they just ignore it.  New Orleans has an indoor vaccine mandate (and a returned mask mandate, ugh) but it's pretty much only enforced by businesses that cater to a mostly (rich) White, local clientele.  Most businesses that cater to the Black community or the tourist traps on Bourbon Street don't bother.   

I'm ready for Louisiana to elect a Republican governor next year so we can end this nonsense.

That's probably because Boris is in trouble and wants to shore up his backbenchers.

JBE is term-limited in 2023, so I'd say R's have a 99% chance of taking back the governorship that year
