Yeah, I mean no ethnicity is completely innocent when it comes to the irresponsible spread of COVID, but white Texans and white republicans spin so many bullshit stories about blacks, hispanics and minorities in general that it's unreal.

Just outright lying to our faces at this point.

Fuck this piece of shit ass state.

I thought it was all of the unvaccinated Mexicans that Biden was letting flood into America. Which non white folks will it be tomorrow?

---

the fact that the neo-nazi is in the middle talking about TikTok videos doesn't help

Each state has racists in them. It's just a matter of how comfortable they are about being vocal.

Haitians haven't been hated on in mainstream news much this summer, maybe they'll change that?

They've been deflecting to black people for a while. Either that or immigrants. It'll work for their stupid, bigoted base because they parrot anything their Republican masters or Fox News hosts say.

If you read further into his argument it's even worse. The host basically said democrats are saying his and the governor's covid policies have led to the increased number of cases and deaths in Texas. His response was basically to say that black people are the group with the highest unvaccinated rate, and that's the democrats' problem so he's not to blame.

Like, fucking what? You're in charge of the state, meaning all citizens, not just those of your party. If vaccination rates are low, that's your problem.

And thats why republicans run on racism. Still shouldnt support their evil asses.

---

republicans will never blame trump or his supporters for not getting vaccinated

Chuds will insist this isn't racist because they didn't say the N word.

---

They can be filling chambers with gas and we still cant call them out for what they really are.


---

To them, it's not racist until they're burning crosses on front lawns and outright lynching Black people. They would even find a way to excuse the hard N-word.

I'm not entirely convinced they wouldn't have a spin for this, too.

"But why don't black people vote for Republicans!?!?!?!?"

---

I like to hate watch The Five and the talking heads on there have been alluding to that narrative for a good while now

---

"We respect if you don't want to get it, but I blame black people because they are not getting it and vote democrat". Jesus this fool!

I've been told that those who aren't vaccinated should be blamed for this pandemic continuing as long as it has.

A penny for your thoughts, liberals? Yoohoo?

Unvaccinated republicans outnumber unvaccinated minorities by over a two to one margin. Since you seem set to blame black people, will you equally say republicans are at fault?

they aren't solely to blame but they do need to get vaccinated. less than 40% of black texans are

And I should be surprised... but I'm not

So if they aren't solely to blame why did he only talk about them?

Crash posted...

I'm not blaming anyone; I'm asking how the liberals will rationalise this one.

90% is a pretty damning figure and is bad for the narrative.

While you ask that question..... do you also ask why the Lt Governor ONLY mentions black people? Isn't that bad for the Republican narrative of "we aren't racist"?

Blaming a single group of people for being unvaccinated?! I thought only liberals were allowed to do that and blame conservatives! What a fucking outrage

They were blaming illegal immigrants, too.

this is the guy that said he would be fine with sacrificing all the old people to covid for the economy

surprised we didn't get blamed sooner

but yeah fuck them

because all day everybody on here talks about unvaccinated conservatives being literal murderers and makes excuses if any other group is brought up so it's pretty well covered

So? They are the least vaccinated group in America and democrats claim being Vaccinated stops the spread (which it doesn't). Why is it that it's only worth noting when someone says it outright instead of their some moron constituents assuming the unvaccinated are just every single republican.

It does. 12% of the cases in the US are from the 60% vaccinated. 88% of the cases are from the 40% unvaccinated. Doesnt take Einstein to show there would be far less cases if everyone was vaccinated.

When Dallas County tried to give the vaccine to the most affected demographics first, Black and Hispanic, state officials like Patrick and Abbott said "No".

The CDC's own data shows the vaccinated can spread Covid just as much as the unvaccinated. It was never a sterilizing vaccine, and on top of that the CDC's own guidelines for testing the vaccinated are different from testing the unvaccinated, running the test at 20 cycles instead of the 40 cycles.

Point is that Republicans have been kneecapping efforts to mitigate the response to this virus from the beginning. So to blame 13 percent of the state population is them tacitly admitting that COVID is dangerous and to find a scapegoat for their own ineptitude.

I see the Republican Defense Force is in full panic mode in this topic, lmao

I wouldn't dare try to put a percentage on what amount of Republicans are racist, but there are other reasons. I'm not saying they're good, but there are people who think that America will go socialist (and by that I mean communist) if the Democrats get their way. Oh, and you have the crowd that thinks the left wants to ban religion.

The open coddling of racism is alarming.

Can spread yes. But they dont contract it at near the same rate. You cant spread what you dont catch. There would be 60-70% less overall cases if everyone were vaccinated.

i agree republicans are bad. i said it's not all black people's fault but you need to stop this excuse making when the answer to anybody else would be "just get the shot"

You still contract it though, all the vaccine does is it "might" mitigate side-effects of covid. Which by bare basic logical conclusion leads to no testing of asymptomatic spreaders, and even if there was the testing is deliberately run at 20 cycles instead of 40.

So maybe get your head out of the media circle jerk and read the papers they were supposed to have given you prior to being jab which for informed consent.

You contract it at a far lesser rate. You just transmit it at the same rate. If you read the papers they gave, youd notice an efficacy rate. Lmao.
^thats you btw

Start race to transmission last, claim to be the slowest. Gotcha.
