You must have missed the fact that whichever "health experts" issued these recommendations contradicted themselves out of a blatantly partisan motive.

you have to 'learn' to distinguish between 'proof that would, without any further context, convince a completely oblivious jury in a court of law', and blatantly obvious stuff that every halfway intelligent and objective person can identify immediately. it's funny how everytime it comes to the right wing's racism you act like the former requirement has to be met to identify it as such, trying so hard to delude yourself that everything short of using the n-word on tape, and proudly sporting a swastika tattoo can't possibly be called racist with certainty.

if it quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, looks like a duck, swims like a duck, flies like a duck, and duck experts determined it's definitely a duck, you might want to overthink your usual stance that it can only be a duck if admits it's a duck - because ducks rarely do that.

Oh, it was for sure intended as a racist dog whistle by a lot of people. I just dont think that the fact they stressed his middle name is sufficient proof for that.

Like I said, imagine his name had been "Barack Vladimir Obama", and Republicans had constantly stressed his middle name - would you also have considered this a racist dog whistle?

You're doing the Cam thing, where you pretend the only thing that has been considered is the one item that has been posted.

You've already said you agree that it's a racist dog whistle by a pot of people, so why bother with the nit picking over specific proofs? We generally all know why it was done by who.

You act as if the right wing GAVE Obama his middle name.

It's funny how every time the left thinks about the 2020 election, they dig just a bit deeper to find ANYthing with which to blame the right.



And btw, in Duck speak, quack = duck. So, once again you are wrong. Ducks admit they are ducks, continually. (as per Dr. Doolittle).

You mean the non-cited "experts" that fox news references anonymously to create the report with a clearly written by their writers headline?

"close your business but feel free to protest", lol. it's clearly a hacked up quote.

Quote

On April 30, heavily armed and predominantly white protesters entered the State Capitol building in Lansing,
Michigan, protesting stay-home orders and calls for widespread public masking to prevent the spread of
COVID-19. Infectious disease physicians and public health officials publicly condemned these actions and
privately mourned the widening rift between leaders in science and a subset of the communities that they
serve.

As of May 30, we are witnessing continuing demonstrations in response to ongoing, pervasive, and
lethal institutional racism set off by the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, among many other Black
lives taken by police. A public health response to these demonstrations is also warranted, but this message
must be wholly different from the response to white protesters resisting stay-home orders. Infectious disease
and public health narratives adjacent to demonstrations against racism must be consciously anti-racist, and
infectious disease experts must be clear and consistent in prioritizing an anti-racist message.

Quote

Staying at home, social distancing, and public masking are effective at minimizing the spread of
COVID-19. To the extent possible, we support the application of these public health best practices during
demonstrations that call attention to the pervasive lethal force of white supremacy. However, as public health
advocates, we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission. We support them as vital
to the national public health and to the threatened health specifically of Black people in the United States.

We can show that support by facilitating safest protesting practices without detracting from demonstrators’ ability to
gather and demand change. This should not be confused with a permissive stance on all gatherings,
particularly protests against stay-home orders. Those actions not only oppose public health interventions, but
are also rooted in white nationalism and run contrary to respect for Black lives. Protests against systemic
racism, which fosters the disproportionate burden of COVID-19 on Black communities and also
perpetuates police violence, must be supported.
