This race bullshit in politics has gone off the rails. Governor opens vaccines to all but whites.

[Carl in Michigan]

So which is it? Are we all the same or not?

No. We are not.

 

[theHawk]

Minorities are more likely to work in service industries where that have close contact with others and unable to work remotely.

What a load of shit. Far more white people own restaurants and work in them than blacks.

Also, if there is so much “systemic racism” against minorities then how come Asians and Jews do better than whites?

'Vermont is opening up coronavirus vaccine eligiblity to anyone over 16 years of age who identifies as Black, Indigenous or a person of color — prompting fierce criticism online for excluding White people.'

Republican Gov. Phil Scott tweeted about the move on Thursday as states gradually opened eligibility to various populations. So far, the process has tended to focus on people who are vulnerable because of their occupation, age or health status.

Isn't 'white' a color?

Yes whites own resturants. Blacks work in them. But asside from that we are talking about percentages , not raw numbers. Please give me a sign that yiu are atleat smart enough to understand that much PLEASE! !

Some do. But they are also the victims of bias attacks on a regular basis.

[Bush92]

So which is it? Are we all the same or not?

Enough with this nonsense.

The problem isn't a black person's skin color that puts them at a higher risk, it's their lifestyle choices. So because they make bad choices in food, exercise or drug use they move to the front on the line?

Are we now going to move smokers to the front of the lung transplant line? Or drinkers to the front of the line for livers? What about fat people for heart transplants?

Get lost with this obsession with color.

Agree 100%

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

The problem isn't a black person's skin color that puts them at a higher risk, it's their lifestyle choices. So because they make bad choices in food, exercise or drug use they move to the front on the line?

First of all the whole thing sounds like a big boatload of bizarre bovine excrement to me. Common fucking sense should inform you that such a policy would be political suicide.

Secondly slick, you are blaming the victim. Black people are at higher risk, not because of lifestyle choices,. They are at higher risk because of the reality of there lives and your lifestyle of racism. It is a function of hystoric and systemic racism of which yiou are clearly a part of. Minorities are more likely to work in service industries where that have close contact with others and unable to work remotely. They are more likely to have living conditions where it is difficult to social distance from others. They are more likley to not have health insurance and access to medical care. If they do smoke and drink more than others it is because of these challenges that they face in life. It is because of raceism. It is because of ignorant asses like you. You have blood on your hands.

I dont understand. You and leftists like you have been helping the black community for over 60 years, that include Racial Jungle * Joe.

 

[Toro]

Or drinkers to the front of the line for livers?

Yes.

Of course.

 

[Toro]

Doesn't that violate the Constitution?

Yes, it almost certainly does.

COVID-19 Vaccine | Vermont Department of Health

Everyone 6 months of age and older is eligible to get a vaccine. Find out where to get vaccinated, see dosage recommendations, and find resources if you need assistance.

This should help the 14 people of color in that state.

 

[Kilroy2]

Is it really racism? Anyone can still get the vaccination. The state is just making sure minority populations are not left out. If the rates of infections are high among the minority populations then it would seem logical to ensure that this population gets the vaccinations. This is a common sense strategy. You cannot stop the spread if the population with the highest rates is not getting the vaccination for whatever reasons. It is not using racism in a bad way.

Lookie here dumbo you got it wrong....go sit in the corner with moonie and put your dunce caps on.

Dunce cap well stating the obvious is pretty easily. You must be one of the fierce criticism makers.

what the republican governor is doing does not mean that white people cannot get the vaccination.

Show me any memo by the Governor that they cannot get the vaccination.

Racism definition is - a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

now how does racism apply in this situation that the governor is doing.

in the state of Vermont they have administered over 200,000 first does shots with a population of about 600,000.

per capital figures put then above 50 % with a few other states.

It's illegal for the government to make distinctions on the basis of race, asshole.

I guess you never heard of affirmative action but it is okay.

So where do blacks fall in this category occupations if so then should not all the people in that occupation be allowed the vaccine or their age? then all people in that age group should be allowed the vaccine. If it is their health status then all people with the same health status should be allowed the vaccine. If not then this is highly discriminatory and racist!

Show me where other's people over the age of 16 are not able to get the vaccinations. Is there a law that says that.

Vermonters aged 50 and over eligible for COVID-19 vaccine (apnews.com)

is that age discrimination?

Vermonters 60 and older will be able to sign up for vaccination appointments starting March 25, followed by: People 50 and older on March 29. People 40 and older on April 5. People 30 and older on April 12. People 16 and older on April 19. Check the department’s COVID-19 vaccine page for updates on vaccine timelines.

no indication of race there. look a white person getting a shot.

There are various qualifications for white people to be eligible for the vaccine....what you do not seem to get is that immediately all Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) by order of the governor are qualified for the vaccine no matter their age or any other status.

This of course is blatant discrimination based on race.

"Separate but equal" didn't mean blacks couldn't go to school. Apparently you believe that wasn't racist.

ELIGIBILITY
People 50 years and older - no mention of race as a factor

People 16 years or older with high-risk health conditions - no mention of race as a factor
Parents and primary caregivers of children with high-risk health conditions -ditto
Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) - one would suspect that for some reason BIPOC people have not been getting the shots so this is a way to show them that they are welcomed and should get the shot. It is not mandatory
English language learners and people in immigrant/refugee communities
Health care personnel and residents of long-term care facilities - no mention of race
People who work in the public safety system - ditto
School staff and child care workers - ditto

RACE	NUMBER OF VERMONTERS AGED 16+
White	496,836
Black or African American	6,770
Native American, Indigenous or First Nation	2,074
Pacific Islander	204
Two or more races	8,132
Asian	9,896

99 percent of the population in Vermont is white vs 1 percent that that are BIPOC

white people vaccinated 192,000
BOPC - 4,000
mixed races 2,000

White people have been vaccinated well over 98% more than BIPOC

I am sorry the eligibility you talk about is the same for any race. It is not determined by race.

The statement about BIPOC is just a statement where some are seeing as raciest. This is just a lack of understanding what racism is or jumping to conclusions. if BIPOC people see this as raciest then I would give them more credibility but still question it.

By the numbers listed on Vermont web site. They do not show racism. This is just trying to get the other races vaccinated on the same level as others. If some see that as racism then it is the good type of racism that helps people. Not the bad kind that denies people. There is nothing wrong in the way Vermont is handling the limited number of vaccination at this time.

By the numbers White people are not being denied. Show a statement by Vermont which says they are being denied for other than legitimate medical conditions. Or some who do not want to get the vaccination for personal reason.
