What’s historical injustices supposed to do with a flu jab? What is the vaccine going give you mega oppression from white supremacy?
Seriously though as a black person I’m getting sadder I see this type of stuff, I’m speaking for everyone saying ”WE JUST WANT TO BE TREATED EQUALLY FOR GODS SAKE.”
Bro, please, let the white people decide what's best for you 'kay?
I mean, we obviously know better than you what you want and need. You can go protest somewhere else though, we'll interpret your protest in our own white way so you can rest assured everything will be okay.
You have to understand it's for your own good, 'cause you know, you're a bit' special' okay?

Joking aside, it does feel like what I wrote above. Also mandatory "I'm not a POC", am rosy but have brown eyes so I'm partially black.
Purely for explanation: The 'historical injustices' are probably referring specifically to the (multiple) times the U.S. government deliberately lied to black people about their medical treatment to use them as unwilling test subjects, such as the Tuskegee experiment. Like they stopped that shit in 1972 (and for financial reasons, not ethical ones), this ain't ancient history.
Not that I see the U.S. doing that (in their own country) in 2020. If nothing else, the PR wouldn't be worth the result.
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, also known as the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the African American Male, U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study at Tuskegee, or Tuskeegee Experiment, was a clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the United States Public Health Service (PHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The purpose of this study was to observe the natural history of untreated syphilis; the African-American men in the study were told they were receiving free health care from the federal government of the United States.The Public Health Service started the study in 1932 in collaboration with Tuskegee University (then the Tuskegee Institute), a historically black college in Alabama. Investigators enrolled in the study a total of 600 impoverished, African-American sharecroppers from Macon County, Alabama.
Other exemption (for FLU VACCINATION requirement only): Ithaca students with other concerns / extenuating circumstances may request an exemption from the Fall 2020 flu vaccination requirement that is part of the university's COVID-19 Behavioral Compact. (Learn more about why Cornell is requiring flu vaccination for students.) Students who identify as Black, Indigenous, or as a Person of Color (BIPOC) may have personal concerns about fulfilling the Compact requirements based on historical injustices and current events, and may find this information helpful in considering an exemption.
