| Although mask use has pretty much vanished around here, I have noticed that the few that ARE still wearing them are by and large black folks. WTF? Random trips to the grocery/Home Depot etc will invariably have at least a couple blacks in masks. ZERO white folks. Is this some political statement? Or something else? Thoughts and discussion welcome. I find it an interesting sociological phenomenon. |

usually around here I see kids wearing them just outside, not a lot and usually the girls. at Wal mart I see old people wandering around with them over just their mouth. and the few asian women I see around here usually have them on. not a lot of colored folks around here but based on walmart sightings I don't think they mask any more than whitey. my dad recently went into a nursing home and they require masks in the hallways and common areas. most of the staff just wears them on the chin. the nursing station is in the intersection of 2 hallways and is a mask free zone. I've been bitched at twice as I walked by with no mask on. I just give them the  and keep walking.

Black folks are more often Vitamin D deficient due to excess of melanin blocking sunlight activation. They are more susceptible to catching contagious illnesses that result from low D, particularly the elderly. I see the same thing here. If you have Black friends, make sure they are getting supplements or spend more time in the sun. This is precisely the reason white skin became predominate in northern climates, it's adaptive pressure. |

I see a smattering of mask wearing in my rural community, and slightly more when I go into town (Charlottesville VA.) I live in the mostly black part of the county, and don't see blacks wearing them any more than whites. I don't see many younger folks wear masks out my way, but there are a number of younger folks in Charlottesville who do. It still infuriates me that the "Your mask protects me, not you" Nazis are now wearing masks for [what they believe to be] their own protection. They're not smart enough to be hypocrites. |

In the US, blacks are a more submissive population ( to government ) than are whites, due to conditioning of the culture from slavery through the Civil Rights Era. This is why they favor a large and powerful central government, and vote in large numbers for that type of system. Blacks born outside of the US tend to be more self reliant. Women are also, by their nature, submissive in most cases, and favor a large central government. Liberals, communists, etc, etc, of course favor the same, and are of course submissive in general as well. Being submissive, favoring a powerful central government, means they are much more likely to be accepting of what they are told, and do what they are told. These groups are also in large part, afraid to change habits once accepted and conditioned into them, also being more susceptible to phobias, irrational fears, and superstitions. They tend to favor reliance on the populace and the government rather than themselves on their needs. Conservatives, on the other hand, tend to be more self reliant, independent minded, and more loathsome of a powerful central government. |

I like to start hacking near them, but I'm kind of an ass. |

Was on the outskirts of the dump of columbia (DC) last week where there was a higher percentages of blacks and Orientals- both of which seemed to still be clinging to mask usage. I think it's dumb, but as long as they don't try to push it on me I don't really care what they do. |
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Several were "Hell no, I'm not getting jabbed by Whitey, but I'm wearing to mask to keep from catching ChinaFlu" Most of the whites i see in perpetual mask mode appear to be Lefty leaning transplants. |

A lot of that has faded away at this point but during the peak of COVID propaganda combined with muh-racist narratives the things I heard from black friends was astonishing and made me question whether I wanted to ruin friendships by even speaking up about the BS that was being fed into the black community. Someone gave a logical answer above about Vitamin D but none of that really mattered because nothing to do with science was ever followed. As one person told me "he didn't want to be seen without a mask because people he knows may tell his relatives." That's not science, that's social/peer pressure on a subdivision of culture. Asians...sort of a given since many Asian cultures have believed in masks regardless of outcomes. It's "polite." Liberals - yeah. |

I was in my 24hr CVS a couple months ago at 3am, I go late at night when it’s empty and the night guy recognizes me. I saw a black man and woman both wearing masks, they were in the liquor aisle. I thought that was weird since alcohol sales stop here at 2am. They both had hand baskets with multiple bottles, looked like whiskey. I was thinking “they’re in for disappointment when they try to buy those”. Except they didn’t try to buy them. They just walked out the exit with them. That’s when the masks made sense. |

There's a reason many municipalities have laws against wearing masks in public. I've noticed libtards of all ages and races wear the mask - it's their security blanket and way to virtue signal to their fellow tards that are part of the hive and under no circumstances will question the narrative fed to them. Asians already had a thing for masks. Saw masks everywhere and absolute fear on the faces of Navajo folks in the town by monument valley a year and a half ago. I think some groups aren't comfortable going to doctors, don't have much money for medical care and might have passed on the shot and opted for the mask instead. |
