But the vaccine doesn’t really prevent transmission…it reduces your chance of dying from the virus.

Seems a little authoritarian to me.

Those poor Nola restaurant workers with the horror they will see with all the non tipping and sending food back. I hope they exercised that it would a good idea to take that long awaited vacation.

I don't care since I am not going, but I have been in NO a few times the weekend of Essence and its a higher class of black folk.. And they have some fine as hell black women there.

Each time I was there during Essence I ended up talking to a group of black women, whether it was waiting for an elevator or.. well one time it was in the place where they make Pralines. And this black chick wasn't looking and bumped into me and I guess she felt bad bumping into someone in a wheelchair and she was all like "are you okay? I am so sorry" and I started laughing... And I said something and her friends busted out laughing. We hung out with them for about 30 mins.

When they left to go to the super dome I told the girl who ran into me she better watch out for them wheelchair people she was like "boy you know you crazy!" and her friends were laughing their arse off. I know all the racist on the board wouldn't be cause doing such a thing, but people are there to have a good time and from my experience, its good spirited fun to be had.

Serious question - early on black folks were diligent maskers but very reluctant vaxxers

Has that changed (the vax part)?

I say this in every Essence thread.

Lots of people don't wanna hear it.

Not my type of people. Basically, the stereotype would be a teacher who drives a car with "educator" plates.
Ppl like that.

Some can be a little bitchy.
But, overall it's not a bad crowd.

You really do go out of your way to post the stupidest shite.

And they were laughing AT you, not WITH you, you naïve, self-awareness lacking, dipshit.

I hope this won’t interrupt the empowerment seminars.

Those are very important.
