Really sad to see the racism directed at Kyrie Irving. How quickly we forget about the evils of government and the CDC directed Tuskegee experiments.
Interesting. I've not heard racist remarks directed towards Kyrie over his stance on the vaccine - only hearing that he's an idiot who in addition to his view on the vax also still thinks the earth is flat, man never landed on the moon, and that his teammates (mostly black) think he's ruining the Nets chance at a championship. You'd think he would have picked up some knowledge in his 4 months at Duke.
But, but, but, it's Kyrie and he is black to it must be racist (rolling eyes emoji needed badly)

I think you hit on and I am surprised white guy played the racist card without a reason. Not surprised it happened because that is where we are. Please point our what was racist about the previous post
Though San Francisco mandates all spectators and Warriors players and staff be fully vaccinated to enter the arena, Irving and all other visiting NBA players are exempt from the mandate under San Francisco Department of Public Health guidelines.
“In contrast to home players, players or other performers who are not employed by the host of the event (“visiting players or performers”) are exempt from the vaccine verification requirements,” the SFDPH guidelines read.
Irving and any other unvaccinated visiting players, instead, must provided proof of a negative test for COVID-19 and are “strongly urged to be up-to-date on vaccination before performing or playing.”
Before going all ballistic, this is a conversation, specifically regarding vaccines and the previous history and stories of the earlier part of the Twentieth century that has been visited in our peer group which is largely black and mixed-minority. Many of those minorities are fully vaccinated and have their boosters and are shaking their heads at folks who don't regardless of race.
