The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now recommending that all Americans wear homemade face coverings in public to help stem the spread of coronavirus.
But Trevor Logan, an economics professor at Ohio State University, will not be following this guidance."We have a lot of examples of the presumed criminality of black men in general," Logan, who is black, told CNN. "And then we have the advice to go out in public in something that ... can certainly be read as being criminal or nefarious, particularly when applied to black men."Logan is not alone in his concerns.
Confused on whether you need a mask? Dr. Sanjay Gupta has the answer 02:07"Not wearing a protective bandana goes against CDC recommendations and increases the risk of contracting Covid-19, but wearing one could mean putting their lives at risk of getting shot or killed because of racially-biased targeting."Even so, Che Johnson-Long, a black woman who works for the Racial Justice Action Center in Atlanta, says she plans to wear a mask in public.
So what is the answer
Totally ridiculous. Don’t act suspicious and you won’t have trouble. There’s more to the story than this. But CNN has to create a controversy to keep their sinking ratings up.
Stupid fake news.
A good point
Ain't dat toooooooo baaaaaaaad
I guess they are right since they are racial profiling themselves to even have this concern
I think I'd wear the mask ...
Understandable & very sad commentary
According to a source familiar with the conversation...
LOL....CHINA VIRUS...
Cry me a river please focus on what’s the real problem!!!what’s the choice mask 😷 or Covid-19🦠
😂😂😂😂😂 CNN do what your known best for....playing that racial shit!!!
Mexicans.. not Latinos.. MEXICANS!!
'a number of people' = very few
Only CNN....
This is actual news? How ridiculous can you be? I’m a “person of color” and I am making my own masks for family and friends. CNN is a disgrace. It’s the people walking around with NO MASK that I find threatening
Is interesting. First.... how we do not have enough medical masks all the medical masks around the world goes to the front line staff and militaries in duty. Sorry darling if you are not one of those. The use a handmade mask is a protocol analized by demographic and in situ.
Cut a long story short CNN wants a race war.
The recommendations & fiats from the CDC & Feds supersede all state & local decrees. Therefore, everyone is admonished to wear a mask to protect each other from Covid-19 This virus is so contagious u can almost catch it by just looking at another person. Not to mention hugging
Wow
They said the exact same thing about hoodies. Don't let the racist hustlers at CNN and elsewhere hijack the corona virus. CNN doesn't want black people to wear masks because they want them to get the virus because eugenics by elective abortions are down
And what is with Dr. Gupta? Homemade masks?
It's true. When you're black, you must be conscious that you are black in all you do
Why do you guys make everything about race? Can you see that your propaganda is one of the biggest dividers in this country? Why do you hate the USA so much? It can be just your hate for the president😳🤷🏻♀️
So CNN will say anything for attention!
It’s a sad time when wearing a mask to protect yourself and others puts you at risk. Racism sucks.
Una sola humanidad, un solo idioma universal, un solo corazón.
Good lord! Can you stop race-baiting for a few minutes? This is revolting. ClownNewsNetwork
& in New York, Trump Admin intentionally forced overcrowding:
Oh, good God! Where do we get such idiots? Who sits around and think this crap up?
Do you think for a second people aren't paying attention and will go: ganger! Stop being stupid. Stop trolling 4chan. You are all a huge joke. No one cares about what people make up on social media
I don't blame them. I blame you the media.
By all means, then, I shall wear a mask. I don't want to be unracist.
People need to grow a damn backbone.
Seriously, YOU cnn, should focus your programming on mental institutions, because anyone with an IQ above 70 can no longer listen to the garbage you spew. In fact, you and other media outlets, (notably nbc, but not limited to) have made the word 'racism' completely irrelevant.
I think this actual post is racist as hell.
Its like a madness, CNN has to oppose everything the president or his team says. President Trump says the sun rises in the morning and CNN argues that's racist
Covidiots
The FBI crime stats by race already beat you to it but you go on with your hilarities CNN!
Seriously? I'm a Latin mix that can pass as white,have been harrassed by police it's not a racist thing it's a power tripping thing...Even those small minority of douches who profile won't make unnecessary approaches due to possible infections... CNN always pushing Trash!
you communist a holes are so out of touch and so criminal in your deeds. a little later on there won't be a hole large enough to contain your numbers.
Shut up, this is utterly ridiculous. Shameless ...
Hahahaha. This is why CNN is the king of fake news.
Well the Rona doesn’t see color . Stay inside than🤷♂️ crying fools
For real? When is CNN going to stop using groups of people for profit and clicks. Don't fall for this shit.
This is literally an insane and ridiculous claim. Total BS.
There cannot be a more stupid article!
Is this the excuse use to tell why more Black people are dying from the virus ? What person regardless of race, would refuse to wear , anything, that would help save their life.----- A mask is a mask! ---------Racism is well and doing fine ! ! ! !
Com’n!
Ok, thanks to CNN, now I'm going to have this crap in the back of my mind where the notion of this didn't exist before. Nice job A-holes!
Lol CNN you really do have no shame. Antifa was just destroying property and assaulting people for the past three years wearing masks, you guys never said a word. Now since you can bring up the racial angle it is a problem?I guess it’s alright, cause it’s white.
The stupid has become the insane.
Just Ridiculous! What a bunch of crap!
If you need toilet paper get it here on amazon quickly - it will probably be gone in the next few minutes.
This is an interesting article. I'm black btw
Then get sick and die. You live or die by your choices.
Give us a break from this racial crap. Even you don’t believe it.
Well if criminals weren't using them to hide their faces to begin with, this wouldn't happen. Blame criminals. No other reason
Enough with the racial bullshit! You guys never pass up a chance to stir the pot , do ya? Is this all the left has is a bunch of divisive racial rhetoric? They sure fon’t have any policy other than free shit!
Anything the left can do to make thing racial
I'm white and I'm being discriminated against in California
Leave it to CNN to continuously invoke fear. God... I fkn hate them.
Of course ,now we turn this into a race thing .Shameful!!
WOW
Well don’t wear them u activist fakemorality fucktards . Yo sometimes these activists really do a disservice to the sheep they claim to represent. I hate to see people oppse everything just to get coverage bullshiitters
Here we go again. This is why the Chinese are laughing at us
Give us a break with these ridiculous race baiting stories.
And as we lost 10,000 people of all race, genders and beliefs. CNN and the rest of it's sheep are going to start this shit. Dems are so into unity. Always have to stir the pot. This shit never even crossed majority's mind.
It is laughable for blacks to shout no racism in Asia while discriminating against asians in Europe and America.
LOL
Tricky,tricky,🤣🤣🤣
The race card played everyday in every way. This story is stupid and only perpetual victims buy in. LiberalismIsAMentalDisease
Maybe CDC can figure out a way to say that people with those skin tones don’t need masks? = They figured out a way to say we didn’t need them for the last couple of months.
Fuck them. Always seeking attention and trying to blame their race for their problems.
Make mask wearing cool.
Never mind the fact the the masks are ineffective and creating a false sense of security.
Signs of a very sick society...
its the stupidity of the community that jacks up their numbers over other communities.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmfao black people always bringing race into everything
This, folks, is a perfect example of white privilege. White people don't have to worry about going into a supermarket with their face covered and being suspected of being a criminal. People of color do. But of course I don't live in a white bubble and have seen it.
We should be talking about how to make it more comfortable and acceptable. Makes sense that most people are not comfortable with this needed change. It's reporting like this that just creates drama.
If CNN is not trivialing or politicizing...they're racializing.
Here we go with the race card. No one watches you anymore....
As usual B.S.
Here we go again, nothing else works so throw out the race card..... CNNBlows FakeNewsMedia ExitChinaNow
LOL... another BS headline from our favorite Communist News Network.... How are those ratings doing Jeff
That is a racist comment.
Remember people, They, the media, depend on division to keep us under control and give themselves power. Division of race, gender and socioeconomic gaps crate fuel for a 24 hour news cycle discussion fire. Don’t feed the flame with them.
Black Lives Matter wore masks.?
What?! Que?!!!!🤦♂️🥴🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
“Just 'cause you pour syrup on something doesn't make it pancakes!”
lol.. never ends.. A racialist virus.. CNN is the 'National Enquirer' of the Networks. You have to wonder how long AT&T will sit back and allow a company it bought continue to make fools of itself.
How? Why?
So a black man walks into a grocery store wearing a mask...I see where that will go.
When these guys go scouting for news, what are they actually looking for?
So because they refuse to wear the prescribed ppe they are mad because they think the disease is racist. Sounds to me like those who are idiots and refuse to do as recommended deserve it if they get covid. Take personal responsibility for your actions. No ones fault but your own.
Oh please! Stop! I'm a Latino immigrant and have never even remotely considered this. Stop with your hatred and constant agenda of racially dividing people! We are all equal and as one!
Read about these gangsters the other day...these AARP gangs are all over the place🤔
Always trying to divide the country with RACISM. If you can't get them on your side with lies and FAKE NEWS resort to dividing with the RACE CARD. Really. This coming from Democrats who worked hard NOT TO FREE THE SLAVES.
Ok sure 😆
So they would rather risk the safety of family, and friends for a fear of being stoped?
is such a sick and deranged place
