You reckon?
What if they just dropped a bomb on you? Do you think they'll fight fair if they decide to actually fight you at all?
curious what your plan would be?

wait a minute old hoss---i've been reading where demmies blame trump supporters 'magrats' as the #1 group not being vaccinated, and the #1 cause of spread of virus and #1 reason why the virus is spreading so fast....so now you are saying NON-WHITES are #1 reason for these things????It's actually very simple:
When a group has been disadvantaged or seen as more vulnerable, then prioritizing them isn't racist.
If 1 Maori out of 100 applicants gets into med school, a program aiming to boost that to 10 out of 100 is not racist.
If people aged over 80 are more vulnerable to death by covid, prioritizing them over 20 year olds isn't ageist.
Chances are, because I bet you didn't read the article at all, "non-whites" are among the group with the lowest vaccination or highest comorbilities and so prioritizing them makes sense. For NYC, Black's and Hispanics are over 2x more likely to be hospitalized and 2x more likely to die than White people from covid. So yeah, it makes sense to prioritize the most in need.
Edit: LOL I found this headline from the daily mail referencing the same memo. Nowhere does it say "white people should not bother to try get treatment", but yet the dailymail is making it it's mission to get you very mad LOL. Literally anything to make you a victim.
White people in NY are told not to attempt to get monoclonal antibody treatment from doctors because Gov. Hochul has prioritized it for non-whites
Speaking of the subject, I don’t think personal approval or disapproval of the vaccines has any real correlation with a political party. I think it’s a choice people make for themselves (when able) regardless of their political party affiliation, and the media just likes to fabricate those narratives.wait a minute old hoss---i've been reading where demmies blame trump supporters 'magrats' as the #1 group not being vaccinated, and the #1 cause of spread of virus and #1 reason why the virus is spreading so fast....so now you are saying NON-WHITES are #1 reason for these things????
c'mon man--spin is like assholes-everyone has one-eh?
exactly--but democrats on social and much of MAINSTREAM media have been saying for quite some time that trump supporters [magrats] are the #1 group of unvaxxed and the #1 cause of spread and #1 reason why biden hasn't 'SQUASHED' the virus like he promised to do---everything is trump supporters fault--UNTIL it goes against liberal agenda to blame 'MAGRATS'...Speaking of the subject, I don’t think personal approval or disapproval of the vaccines has any real correlation with a political party.

Let’s not forget that Trump is an advocate for the vaccines, and is fully vaccinated himself- with booster. However, he states that he does not support any mandates.

it's trump supporters fault why biden hasn't SQUASHED the virus...lol--ok!!!
now that they can no longer blame trump many in lefist mainstream media are now calling covid THE FLU..lol.

lol---dude...you are being playedAre you saying only whites voted for Trump?
Are white Republicans the majority population in NYC?
It boggles my mind how you feel hard done by in this situation. Doesn't the Bible teach you to look after the most vulnerable first before yourself?
You can't crush something that so many people insist is fake or not a threat. Despite us losing Puccah and likely other members of this forum who we don't know about to covid (nearly 1 in 300 Americans have died to covid), people still insist it isn't that bad.
Unfortunately the damage was done when Trump was in office. He made people believe that the virus wasn't that bad, AND promoted absolutely dangerous ways to try deal with it (drinking bleach). You can't undo that level of stupidty from someone people worship more than God himself.
To make matters worse, people genuinely believe that there's a chip in the vaccine or that the vaccine is the work of the devil. We live in a timeline where the mentally ill do not have enough support. It's quite sad

Your just fueling division and more racism.
People can be prioritized by individual case by case needs, not by picking and choosing what skin color they think is disadvantaged.
And if you dont think white people arent disadvantaged here in NY, why dont you come over here and Ill take you on some tours of white trailer trash parks.
he is going by what bernie sanders said---'White people don't know what it's like to be poor'....i quoted the richest 'socialist' in America.
kinda like a weird Al parody, lol.This is mildly amusing

it would be a assumption to think that everyone in a army would react the same against civillians-eh jethro?Do you think that barricading yourself in a wooden house is going to stop a Military that gets 780 Billion in funding every year?
If they're going to roll you, they'll roll you.
You reckon?

i think the taliban is getting the last laugh-eh?Ask the Taliban after being bombed for 20 years how that worked out for them?
...just fueling division and more racism.
it's all they got.That is what the current adminstration is doing, full time.
it isn't a chess match at all...i see this as cold war version 2...this time instead of russia and usa doing a proxy war in vietnam i see india and pakistan being the players..Invalid Link Removed

lol...you call others strawman as a defense when in all honesty you are nothing more than a master of spin.Who said they can't be disadvantaged? Nice strawman though.
Think of it this way: there's a buffet that can feed 100 people. 10 of those people haven't eaten for a week and 90 of them are so fat they eat more than their fair share everytime.
So the person hosting says "hey, let's give the 10 who haven't eaten a chance to eat first".
Then the 90 say "hold on, that's racism!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm just as entitled to that food as any body else!!!!!!!!!!!!"
That's what it sounds like.
lol...you call others strawman as a defense when in all honesty you are nothing more than a master of spin.
we all do spin, but you have a advanced degree---is it true that half of all the children living in poverty in new zealand are maori?
maybe you should be spending time helping those children in your own country instead of wasting your time spinning your wheels on this forum-eh?
if you care so much about the poor imagine the difference you could have made if you had dedicated all the time you have wasted arguing on this forum with actually helping the needy-
and now they have the good-hearted taliban looking out for their welfare-eh?The average age in Afghanistan is 18. Average age in the US is 38.
That's how it worked out for them.
lol---ask the maori what they think about racism...what percentage of maori think there is racism against them?The difference is when kiwis say we should spend more money helping Maori children out of poverty, I don't argue it.
However you guys are all quick to pull the racism card

he is just pulling spin out of his ass, lol...he should be a DJ-he is a master of SPINWait, wtf, 38? Im not going to even look this up, but we dont have people in their 30s or even close dropping all over the place, LOL
Its probably about double that or more.
and now they have the good-hearted taliban looking out for their welfare-eh?
the poverty rate for whites in US is 9.6%=roughly 1 in 10....Having only 10 people who hadnt eaten for a week out of 100 actually sounds impressive to me. I thought there were more lazy pieces of crap who do absolutely nothing to better themselves for that alone, not including truly disadvantaged people which isnt a 'skin" problem here in the USA.

personally i would rather have a bomb drop on my head than be beheaded slowly with a saw-but thats just me...If I was born in Afghan Id wish I was dead on the 1st day even if the USA wasnt dropping bombs on us.
bernie sanders says ...if you are white you can't be poor-eh?But they dont get a free covid testing kit so they can resell it on ebay, not fair.

in 1965 LBJ started affirmative action...busing started in 1971...there are many organization is place to ensure equal opportunity for minorities including women...The point is is that sometimes prioritizing people or groups of people is done to equalize the playing field as best as possible. If one group starts out ahead, pushing others to that point isn't racist, it's equality.
If I walk in to after hours with a broken finger amd am waiting for 4 hours and someone else walks in bleeding from an artery but is seen straight away, I don't get upset that they were seen first. But people DO get upset first because they believe they are entitled to being seen first regardless of the circumstances of others
Do you know what averages mean?
It takes into account children and babies.
You know that right? I didn't say the average age someone dies. I said the average age in general
what is the poverty rate for maori's?What's the poverty rate for Black's?
lets see a graph of poverty rate of maori, asian and pacific people in new zealand.Here's the official stats for 2020.
Nowhere does it say that Whites cannot be in poverty. But when you have a group nearly 3x as likely to be in poverty as another that needs addressing.
Do the Whites in poverty also need help? Of course.
