Unidentified numbers of white folk have trolled the internet and stolen Covid vaccine appointments from elderly and Brown and Black folks in the most impacted neighborhoods in Oakland. Given the presence of the Covid-19 variants and high positivity rates in these areas, this has the potential to kill more Oaklanders than gun violence.
Where is Lame Duck Libby? Where is the outrage, where is the disgust? I drove by the One Medical clinic on Grand Avenue and saw skads of Karens and Dirks lined up around the block. All under fifty, all with BMIs under 20, sipping celery juice, and waiting for their jab. These are the same hemp-clad dickweeds who call OPD to do a pelvic exam on their Prius, every time a Black teenager walks by their home.
If this were Black or Brown kids stealing Norcos from white drug-addled seniors in Montclair. Libby and Greasy Hair Newsome would have a fat press conference and a cop on every corner. Since it’s the rich white stealing from Black, Brown, poor, sick, old, and fat; public officials want the guilty’s conscious to be their punishment.
F that ! I want to see perp walks. Redeploy OPD from harassing the homeless at Home Depot. Put them on the Coliseum mass vaccination site pulling techies out their Telsa’s and checking for pre-existing medical conditions. Use that illegal license plate reader to bust Marinites. I want to see body camera footage of Karens splashing designer water in OPD faces, and OPD frisking Lululemon clad political donors.
