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 (snip) the exceptions allowed (snip) People of color who have heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment due to wearing face coverings in public.

If I were white, I would not wear a mask, and if questioned, would state that I "identified as a person of color."

I went to their website, they do have an email address...I wrote the following:
"The definition of racism is treating people differently based only on the color of their skin. Most Americans feel like we are living in an altered state of reality. Bad is good, up is down. It’s okay to be racist as long as it’s against whites. It’s okay to trash people’s lives and businesses as long as you’re part of Antifa (a terrorist organization) or BLM. It might seem fun now, but I promise you, none of us will like the country we are living in when our society breaks down. Maybe the elites pulling the strings will, but the rest of us will rue the day.
FWIW...the entire country is paying attention."

That’s OK with me. It will make them easier to identify on the robbery and assault videos. (Not that anything would be done about it.)

I'm a colored person, white is a color until they change the box of crayons.

How is "persons of color" different from "colored person"?

Hard for any of us at our keyboards outside of Oregon to make an impression on them how wrong this is. It is up to those affected in Lincoln County to respond LOUDLY (our leaders have grown mighty deaf of late). But they will meekly sit by, and perhaps contemplate whether or not "Lincoln" is racist and decide only that they need to rename their County.

Illegal, racist order just ignore it and go about your business.
They cannot enforce it. When will there be an injunction on this garbage?

I have read that the racist wuhan flu is hitting African Americans harder than other races. One would think the government would want to protect the black population, but it appears to be the opposite. Protect whites, let others get the rona virus.

I would donate to the defense of the first white person to be given a summons or arrested for not wearing a mask while bLACKS walk past me sans mask.

Silly me, I thought racism meant discriminating by skin color. Apparently it's based on lack of skin color.

It's been hot and sunny in Texas so I'm exempt. PINK is a color.

Ironic that they don't seem to realize this is actually profiling of the highest sort. Living in Oregon, this is the next county over from mine. They are going to have some lean months this summer, as many people will blow them off for this stupidity.

#7, and all those in the rest of the country who come to Oregon, this part of the Coast is a major tourist destination. Lincoln City and Newport both are dependent on those out of state tourist dollars. I would suggest that reminding the dolts of both these cities of that reality would not hurt. They are going to be hurting come Fall when the season is over.

I really need a haircut. I called a shop to see if they were open, and they are, and I set an appointment. The last thing she said was "You will have to wear a mask."
I said, "I don't have a mask, I never wear a mask."
She said, "You have to wear a mask, and I don't have any to give you."
I said,"OK, goodbye." And hung up the phone.
I still need a haircut.

BTW, this is a directive for ALL Oregon counties have to follow because of an Oregon State requirement as promulgated by their ever so woke Democrat governor Kate Brown. Democrats have controlled the governorship, House and State legislature for over 33 years in Oregon, so they are very sophisticated in how they treat the afflicted classes of people they so define.. So certain races can exempt themselves from wearing a mask. Whites on the other hand do have to wear masks because . . .well it's hard to explain. This convoluted class-based.wokeness division of Americans is imploding on Democrats; They can't keep track of categorizations, exceptions and definitions by class (race, ethnicity, sexual preference, sex, color, questioning, transitional, and the list goes on forever, so promulgating rules such as this is necessary to teach the uninitiated, un-woke among us.

So.....what if you’re a white person who has heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment? Even the far left wackos can no longer deny that that is precisely what is happening.

The only Systemic Racism in America is anti-European-American racism. It is the official policy of the federal government, state and local governments, and most corporations
