Are you elderly or have some kind of underlying condition that would make you a higher risk of dying from COVID-19? And do you also happen to be white? If you answered yes to these questions, Senator Ed Markey says you’re sh*t out of luck because the vaccines should only go to people of color. The Massachusetts Senator says that “racial justice” must be the priority of COVID-19 vaccine distribution.
Here’s a tweet that could only come from a guilty white liberal who has already received the COVID-19 vaccine:
Racial justice must be our number one priority as we distribute the COVID-19 vaccine. Join me live with @SenWarren, @RepPressley, @NikaElugardo, @macurry01, and Rev. Culpepper as we discuss the need for greater equity and accessibility in vaccinations. https://t.co/2phfS58LUa

No, the priority for distributing the vaccine should be people who are at-risk because of their age, health, or profession. Anything that excludes groups of people because of their race is racist.
Markey, because he’s a race-hustling identity politics dipshit, doubled-down on this demand, with a baseless attack on conservatives:
If you read the quote tweets to our livestream, you will find conservatives decrying racial justice and addressing COVID-19 disparities.
They’re wrong and it’s a shameful demonstration of ignorance and bigotry.
Never mind them. We need racial justice in vaccine distribution. https://t.co/G8fAaxThMV

He wants to prioritize the vaccine distribution based on race, not need, and somehow it’s these nameless conservatives who are ignorant and bigoted? He is demanding that the vaccine go to minorities who might not be in an at-risk group, while putting at-risk white people at the back of the line because of their skin color. Again, that is the textbook definition of bigotry and racism.
The ignorance comes from the fact that Markey is demanding that healthy not-at-risk minorities get to jump the vaccine line because his political party used to own them as slaves and segregated them from society. If the white guilt is weighing on him that much, he should have passed on his vaccination and redirected it to the ancestor of somebody the democrats used to keep in chains.
Plus, there’s this:
Survey shows African Americans less likely to want COVID-19 vaccine
According to the latest Pew Research Survey, African Americans were among the least likely to express comfort with a vaccine.
While more than eight out of 10 Asian Americans indicated they would get a COVID-19 vaccine if one were available today, and just over six out of 10 white and Hispanic adults indicated they would get vaccinated, just over 4 out of 10 African Americans said they would get the vaccine.
Black people don’t even want COVID-19 vaccines as “racial justice.” They want reparations in the form of cash money.
If Markey really wants the racial justice he is demanding, he should open up his check book and started giving out reparations for the democratic party’s history of slave ownership, KKK terrorism, and segregation. Notice how I qualified that with an “if?” That’s because Markey and the democrats have no interest in owning up to their own racism.
Taking vaccines away from white people who need them and giving them to black people who don’t want them will not repair the racism democrats have inflicted upon the black community.
