Face Mask Is Required, But Only For White People?

Lincoln Country in the state of Oregon in the USA, has issued a new order the face masks or coverings are required to be worn in public but has exempted non-white people from this new order only to prevent racial profiling.

The mask-wearing mandate was announced last week and also the physical distancing of at least six feet from another person who is not from the same household.

But the state’s country said the non-whites need not follow the rule if they feel ‘concerns about racial profiling and harassment’ over wearing the masks and face coverings.

The health officials have been stressing that no person shall be harassed who do not comply with the face mask directive.

With the face coverings on, the black men fitting the description of a suspect who has a hood also, come under a larger context. To avoid the life-threatening consequences by giving up on the wearing of a bandanna in public is what many prefer.
