One of these schisms is between two different groups of Black people: the “maskers” and the “un-maskers.”
The schism that has become apparent in the Black community is that of adamantly bucking authorities around compliance about how to address the COVID pandemic.
Several inflammatory videos surfaced which created huge doubts about the reality of the pandemic, and the result encouraged some Black people to ignore pandemic-fighting strategies like wearing masks and staying at home.
Frankly, those Blacks who are using shaming tactics to encourage Black people to eschew social distancing, mask wearing, and honoring Shelter-in-Place requests amounts to them being internal enemies of the community.
Under the guise of opposing a conspiracy to destroy the community, the Black anti-maskers (who can be seen as agent provocateurs) are encouraging Black people to ignore all of the COVID mitigation strategies which can, no doubt, result in even more fatalities than are being suffered presently.
