The landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. But while many Americans once fought bravely to eliminate discrimination, today many Americans are fighting to reinstitute the vile, immoral practice — only this time against the unvaccinated.
The unvaxxed are the new blacks. As a matter of fact, many of the unvaxxed also happen to be blacks. The Kansas City mayor, Quinton Lucas, recently admitted as much in an interview with Face the Nation on CBS. Lucas, a black man, said, "Young men of color is a place where we have incredible weakness right now."
Prior to 1964, blacks were prohibited from dining in white-only establishments. Beginning the week of Sept. 13, unvaccinated blacks will be prohibited once again from dining in any establishment in New York City. NYC mayor Bill de Blasio made the announcement on Tuesday morning. "If you're unvaccinated," de Blasio said, "unfortunately, you will not be able to participate in many things."
Blacks were largely excluded from society before 1964. If they don't get vaccinated, they'll be excluded once again. De Blasio said, "If you want to participate in our society fully, you've got to get vaccinated. It's time."
This isn't a surprise to me. I predicted this back in June on my podcast, which I titled "Unvaccinated Americans and the Civil Rights Movement of Our Time." But in 2021, the immoral practice of discrimination and segregation isn't exclusive to blacks, but extends to every American who refuses to get the jab.
Whether the discrimination is race based or vaccination based is irrelevant — it is discrimination nonetheless and just as outrageous. Unfortunately, many Americans — both Republican and Democrat — are all too eager to defend the legal reinstatement of discrimination in America.
Kristi Noem, the Republican governor of South Dakota, recently came out in defense of vaccine-based discrimination. She said, "Workers whose employers are mandating a vaccine for continued employment have the power to say no. Our robust economy and job market gives them the option to find a new employer that values personal choice and responsibility, and doesn't force mandates on their employees."
Sure, Kristi. And blacks pre-1964 had the option to drink from black-only water fountains. It's not a choice when you are forced to do something, Kristi. Blacks didn't have a choice prior to 1964, and the unvaccinated don't have a choice in 2021 when they're prohibited from working or prohibited from dining because they choose not to get vaccinated.
