Lincoln County, Oregon, has exempted non-white people from a new order requiring that face coverings be worn in public—to prevent racial profiling.
Health officials announced last week residents must wear face coverings in public settings where they may come within six feet of another individual who is not from the same household. But people of color do not have to follow the new rule if they have “heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment” over wearing the masks, officials said.(Snip) With mask requirements becoming more common, activists have raised concerns that the directives could put non-white people in danger.

This is, by definition, RACIST. Excluding people based upon their skin color? AHEM, paging Dr. Martin Luther KIng!

Health officials stated that people shouldn't be harrassed for non-compliance. So to me that means that white people may also not be harrassed since that statement did not single out black people for non harrassment.
This order is discriminatory.

Profiling, another hoax. Black communities have the highest violent crime rates in the entire country. A 911 call goes into dispatch, a crime committed. What's the cop supposed to do, stop the Chinese guy. There are no other people to stop. What's happening is appalling.

I looked up the stats. Lincoln County is on the coast with a population of about 46,000. Over 87 percent are white and blacks are a minuscule 0.4 percent black. If #9 is correct, it shouldn't take long to get the 184 or so blacks sick.

I think it is racist to make this rule, because 1) they don't care that that non-white people will die from stepping outside their home with no mask?! 2) the authorities want to be able to identify the criminals from a video tape!

Blacks commit violent crimes with thirteen times greater frequency than whites. By same arguments whites should be permitted to carry arms in self defense and blacks should not be.

It’s a great idea! Now when a crime is committed, the perp can be identified.

Oh, H-E-L-L to the N-O. We don't play that game in this country. One law for all crayons in the box. Let everyone be F-R-E-E and no one wears masks unless they want to.

Just a few weeks ago, the so-called "black leaders" were crying about how racist COVID-19 was because more blacks were getting it.
Then the whole BLM garbage hit the fan, and now that doesn't seem to matter.
I hope the first lawsuit has already been filed over this racist and evil stunt!!!!!

These people simply won't stop. A Harris county (Houston) judge just issued a court order that everybody must wear a goofy mask in public. It apparently did not occur to her honor that judges cannot issue court orders on EVERYBODY. Nonetheless the locals are going with it. I wore mine in Kroger's grocery because they told me I could not buy salmon without it. Their right, because it's private property and they can refuse service. I'd wear the mask on my elbow because nothing in Her Honor's edict says HOW to wear it but that would just be pissy.

This would be a very easy order to ignore. What are they going to do, go to court? I hope it does go to court and lawsuits follow! Put these little dictators on the spot!

So, when you don't wear one, say "I'm not white, I'm exempt." And make them prove it.

“No person shall intimidate or harass people who do not comply,” health officials said.
So LEOs won't be "intimidatin' or harassin' white people who do not comply", right?

How can you loot with impunity if you're not wearing a mask? I would think that you could tell by the parts of the face showing above the mask, what your melanin content is. That's it, I'm getting a Lone Ranger mask.

Because we all know COVID-19 has a brain and recognizes race and political affiliation therefore only attacks white people and Trump supporters.

Let's say one was arrested for violating this edict. How many generations would one have to go back to prove no DNA but European. My blonde blue-eyed sister-in-law shows 2% African DNA...is that enough to be declared non-Aryan?

Blatant violation of due process and equal protection. Someone should litigate this. We conservatives are obviously not litigious enough.

I would contribute to the defense of the first white person issued a summons or arrested for violating this edict.

One of my grandfathers was from Poland.
With a Polish name, I used to get a lot of derogatory Polish jokes.
I consider my self 'not quite White' as a result, so..... the Rule does NOT apply to ME!
