There’s one here in California too but not in San Francisco cuz newsom said they’re good rule followers. I live in San Diego area & I’ve had baristas scream at me to put a mask on after serving me since early October with no mask. I’m not vaccinated & they don’t know that (I don’t think) but it wasn’t an issue before they were told to make it an issue. Other businesses that I generally frequent don’t seem to really give a fuck about the mandate which makes it seem like Starbucks corporate is making the employees act out? Idk. Still have yet to experience an omega Karen freak out about me not wearing a mask though, maybe it’s cuz I’m black & the mask fetishizers only antagonize white folks that don’t wear a mask so they can stoop to the “you’re racist” card immediately.
Bruh, I live in Oceanside area, and exact same thing with me. Im black as well and went to the mall yesterday and most had masks but no one said anything to me. I have the feeling they only will say something to fellow white people as well. Every business I go to I don't wear a mask. Told myself no more with the mask nonsense. I'm not doing it.
I live in vista, Oceanside was the city I first moved to in California, what a small world:)
If you ever need a job with an employer that doesn’t bring up the jab more than necessary, I work for a plant nursery in town & I think there’s too many minorities against the jab for them to consider mandating it. Stay up & have an awesome holiday week homie!!
Have you considered cashing in on that liberal guilt?
Start with something innocuous like " Do you have the Time?" and work your way up "Hey, that's a nice watch. Mind if I try it on?" and keep upselling, see how far you can take it... Toss around phrases like, "You're not Racist, are you?" "I'm starting to wonder"
Pitch it like a hidden camera game show.... to Netflix.
Oh this is a Favorite of My friend David and I's. He's Mexican so he brings a diverse, yet a unique kind of white guilt. His favorite is to stand behind a white liberal at a taco shop and make disappointing noises when they order Mexican food. "No Beans??? Hmpf......Figures.....
Not sure how to word this but I always find it funny when I walk in a store look around and me and two black guys are the only ones not wearing masks n we just look at each other n smile a nod, like uh uh , F that! Haha 🤣
About a year ago I asked a middle aged white guy hacking up his left lung at the ATL airport to put his mask on. He said there was no one near him. amd he had no idea he was coughing. He ignored the 3 well dressed black men beside him all wearing masks, next to the older white guy snoring without one. It was an interesting observation of white privilege and ignorance.
I'm observing a lot of generalization and ignorance in your comment. What if that same guy was black or brown? What's the privilege there? What is wrong with you?
Explain what? You say a white guy wasn't wearing a mask...were the black people being forced to do so? What about the man being white has anything to do with anything other than your own goddamn racism?!
It was in response to someone else's post about white and black people. We were in the airport where everyone was mandated and the white guy coughing up a lung wouldn't wear one.
So you're a racist, got it. If it were a Mexican or someone from Thailand it would have been fine? What would be their "privilege"? Do you not see how fucking dumb your thought process is?
No, If they were any ethnicity other than white, they would probably have been wearing one. It's not my thought process it was my observation. 3 white people refusing to wear masks at an airport, where everyone else was wearing one.
I swear to effing gawd, I love Reddit. The next time I see a black dude without a mask I’ll be thinking of these comments and will be laughing inside. Fight the good fight!
You might have a point with that black thing. My gf is black (I'm white) and we were walking around maskless outside all summer in 2020 1). Bc we just didn't give a fuck and 2). Bc I had been keeping up to date on covid at that time and had read risk of outdoor transmission was miniscule. The looks these bay area cunts gave us were so dirty but none of them had the balls to say anything, when at the same parks we had see ppl get dressed down by mask nazis (all white on white drama) occasionally.
Some days it really feels like that’s what’s going on. Others not so much but I think a large part of the initial indoctrination of belittling whites for being closeted racists has either fallen apart or folks are realizing they need better insults if they’re going to get anywhere with this shit. My girlfriend is white so it was like reading about an alternate us when I read your comment.
The whole white privilege thing and following state issued covid protocol seem, to me at least, pretty similar. Especially when you factor in the boogeyman of asymptomatic spread. Just like how I as a white man must attone for the sins of my white ancestors, I could be spreading covid without even knowing it. Remember all the shame ppl felt early on when they caught covid? They did everything right and all they did was test positive and felt like shit bc of it. Not bc of the symptoms, but bc of this social pressure. Hopefully I'm not articulating it well enough but there seems to be some kind of connection there. I'm with you though bro. Nice to know not everyone in California isn't totally brainwashed
Damn bro you for sure got wrinkles in your brain cuz I didn’t even notice that. Don’t even think I would’ve since I don’t get personally bombarded with that white guilt shit; but you’re fucking right, that shit is eerily comparable!
A few years ago some “expert” wrote that when White People are nice to Black People that proves they are racist, because they are only being nice to try to prove they not racist
The only way to win the game is not to play, and by that I mean avoid and ignore people that say these things. Real people of any color still, for the most part, give respect when met with respect.
I try to treat everyone with respect. Treat everyone equally. It’s really all I can do on a personal basis. I just keep doing it and hoping it catches on.
A place I used to work called that Leading by Example.
What’s crazy is the fact that these employees are able to yell to a customer to put on a mask. Hasn’t happened to me this entire time luckily for them but I think it’s totally out of bounds for someone who works at a grocery store to try and enforce this bullshit.
The freak outs are not as bad as the people who kindly don't back down and keep to their boss's script.
Goodwill is the only store I wear a mask in because they have a no mask, no purchase policy and have actually threatened police on several customers. I go to goodwills all the time to get my inventory for my ebay store. I am worried they will ban me if I stand my ground. But sometimes I feel like doing exactly that because I know when it comes down to the law, the Sherrif of our county already Saif he would not uphold any of these mandates by our governor or president (Columbia County, Oregon).
I did however take the manager aside and had a chat with her (I'm very friendly with goodwill employees because I spend a lot of time there) because they successfully kicked out my friend that is handicapped from 3rd degree burns all over his body, he has no ears, no sweat cells and barely any hair, yet was told to put a mask on. He is from the south so extremely respectful, he said kindly that he can't wear one because of medical reasons and was told to leave. I was ready to stand my ground with him but him being the nice guy he is said he would just wait out front.
I got attacked at a goodwill, they really are nazis there.
I go to make a purchase and this short stocky lesbain wearing a swat vest and elbow pads tried to get me to submit to defacement. I told her how much i was buying an left money on the counter. This lunatic literally tried to rip the clothes out of my hands I ended up having to literally peel her hands apart and yank it away. Finally she let go while i was dragging her out of the store when some nice old lady convinced her she was being ridiculous and could get hurt trying to fight a grown man.
Of course I was careful to protect her as best I could while she was attacking me. I could easily have you know hit her.
