Commentary: 65% of African-Americans Banned from Dining in NYC After de Blasio Implements Vaccine Passport

For months on end, the left has been chanting three words with a forceful conviction — black lives matter. As it turns out, however, those words are ultimately hollow, because not all “black lives matter” to the modern-day left. Rather, to them, at this point in time, only vaccinated black lives matter. This from westernjournal.com.

This was made quite clear on Tuesday, when democrat New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the city’s plan to implement COVID-19 vaccination requirements for gyms, restaurants, and other businesses.

“It’s time for people to see vaccination as necessary to living a good and full and healthy life,” de Blasio said during a news conference.

Beginning on Sept. 13, New York City citizens will be forced to show either their “Key to NYC Pass” or the state’s “Excelsior Pass” if they wish to enter the aforementioned businesses.

“It will require vaccination for workers and customers in indoor dining, in indoor fitness facilities, indoor entertainment facilities,” the mayor said.

As it turns out, the group most affected by this policy would be New York City’s black population.

According to the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, only 35 percent of black residents have been vaccinated, which is the lowest of any demographic in the city by far.

So, when implemented, New York City’s vaccine passports will, in effect, act as a new set of Jim Crow laws.

Boston democrat Mayor Kim Janey, in a surprising revolt against the ideals of her party, likened the idea of vaccine passports to freedom papers in the era of slavery.

“When it comes to what businesses may choose to do, we know that those types of things are difficult to enforce when it comes to vaccine,” Janey said Tuesday during a news conference, when asked about de Blasio’s new policy, according to NBC News.

And unvaccinated people of all races will be banned, including Asian-American, Hispanic, and white residents.

Now, for an added twist, keep in mind the new allowable double-speak in the eyes of the modern-day left. Follow closely for the explanation:

— If a policy disproportionately disadvantages minorities, that policy is “racist” regardless of the extenuating circumstances.

— Therefore, according to modern-day left logic, vaccine passports are “racist.”

— But the rules only apply if the offender is conservative.

— The modern-day left can be as “racist” as they want.

Carrying this one step further: This is all part of the justice system double standard which has become well entrenched in America. Get used to it. Nothing short of a miracle or return of conservative Republican control of congress and the White House will see this changed.
