New York City has a COVID vaccine mandate. Government officials are trying to coerce people to get jabbed. Segregation is the name of the game as they reward or punish you based on you getting something injected into your body.
This is just another tactic by Democrats to institute discrimination against black people since the vast majority are not vaccinated. Blacks do not trust the government.
Carmine’s, a restaurant in NYC, provided a triggering incident against the mandate. Three black women from Texas showed their vaccine cards to get a seat at Carmine’s. Two men attempted to join them but the hostess refused one since he did not have proof of the vaccine.
An argument happened and eventually a fight broke out and NYPD arrested the three women. BLM showed up and led a protest.
Chivona Newsome, the other co-founder of BLM NYC, targeted Mayor Bill de Blasio’s vaccine mandate specifically in her remarks. She implied that the edict has resulted in repeats of historical episodes when blacks were disenfranchised from society.
“Being a doctor does not protect you from anti-blackness. Having a vaccination card does not protect you from discrimination. The 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibits the actions of Carmine’s. It says it is illegal to discriminate against you on the basis of race,” she said.
“Seventy-two percent of black people in this city from ages 18 to 44 are unvaccinated. So what is going to stop the Gestapo, I mean the NYPD, from rounding up black people, from snatching them off the train, off the bus?” she added.
A woman named Maya told National Review:
“Most black people aren’t going to acknowledge that the Democratic Party has disenfranchised us. Malcom X said it’s fox and wolves. The fox pretends to be your friend to your face but passes laws behind your back to harm you. The wolf is not your friend, they don’t like you, and they treat you as such. But who do you respect more? Black people tend to fall for the fox,” Maya said.
She said her job is in jeopardy now because she’s refused the vaccine, another issue of economic equity that she says Democrats are not acknowledging.
“This vaccine mandate is disproportionately affecting people of color. People shouldn’t be forced to do it. It’s ‘for your health,’ but they’re willing to ruin people’s lives to protect against a virus with over a 99 percent survival rate. . . . This is going to be the new Jim Crow, and it’s going to affect mostly people of color,” she said.
There were many others who spoke publicly.

Keep in mind this is one of the “privileged” organizations within the Democratic Party. They were given carte blanch to riot, burn and commit mayhem all last summer (2020). They are now attacking their masters, a Democratic city government who are publicly supported by the Democratic elites in Washington.
Is BLM beginning to realize that they were just pawns in the Democratic Party’s war against other Americans?
