i don’t see any large demographic either black or white wearing masks in Tennessee on a wide scale. mostly, its boomers from the north who have retired here wearing their masks to the grocery store on a Tuesday morning where there are literally 5 people in the entire store. last week, i saw a young Attachment 239278male in his 20s walking up a main road with no pedestrians, he was literally the only person walking on this road on a beautiful day wearing his cheap paper mask all by himself. it was so dumb, i had to take a picture of this young male in the prime of his life, all by himself wearing a cheap mask.
you can clearly tell how he votes just by looking at him
Maybe he has allergies. You took a picture of a guy who is wearing a mask? I'm sorry but that is really some weird stuff. The right wing is so upset about masks that they are going around photographing and sharing pictures of people they decide should not be wearing them. OMG.
What are your thoughts on masks in todays climate? I actually don't mind wearing them in tight spots like a plane or in a doctors office/ER setting.
I feel like I rarely see anyone wear them correctly and I see more masks being worn by African Americans than I do any other ethnicity. I travel a lot for work and visit red, blue, and purple cities weekly. While out last week in Nashville, Charlotte, and Raleigh I counted mask wearers while out and about just for my own knowledge after noticing a pattern. On average it was a 4:1 ratio AA to other ethnicity wearing them and most( I did not tally) were being worn under the chin. Masks being worn by Caucasian Americans came in second and the majority of those wearing you would assume to be left leaning solely based off stereotypes of appearance. Third was Asian Americans, followed by Latino.
Is it a political statement?
Is it fashion?
Here in Oklahoma I see black, Hispanic and Asians use masks more than white people. Now I do see older white people use masks. I don't care who wears a mask nor why. I do care if the government tries to force me to wear one but hopefully that never happens again.
Out of the few people I see still wearing them in West Palm Beach, most are in fact African Americans. I'm guessing this is a function of where they get their news/propaganda from. For the severely brainwashed, it takes longer to snap out of it and apply common sense. Sadly, some people will never snap out of it, and they will be wearing useless cloth masks for the rest of their natural lives. And the Democrats love it.
People in general who wear masks don't give a damn about the "stigma". They are concerned for their health. It's the ones who don't who often are trying to make a political statement to a world that doesn't care what they think anymore. And no, I have not noticed any racial tendency in masking. The one thing that does stand out is age. That's a good thing as it is older people who are, by far, most at risk from respiratory illnesses in circulation.
I definately notice a racial of ethnic tendency also. Where I live I notice both with blacks and Hispanics. Maybe it is because they feel they are more susceptible. At one point it was thought to be more dangerous to blacks at least. I don't know if that is still true. If so probably because of diabetes and other genetic factors.
I also notice an age factor. Older people (people I would consider older and I am 68) and also the college kids both wear at a higher percentage..

how is a cheap paper mask going to prevent him from sneezing? you don’t think pollen gets in between his skin and the mask? no, it was a case of obedience to the liberal narrative. look how safe he is.

Yes, it is weird--the guy, not the photo.
It was an oddity. If you saw a dude walking down the street in a clown suit and wearing a dunce cap with a lit candle on top, you might take a picture as well. Or a blue cat with a pink monkey on its back, riding it like a horse. Just something to show to the grandkids one day.
In Montana, I don't live near a city, and there are very few blacks in the state, but here if you see see somebody in a mask, it's usually a tourist, or a cancer patient.

Exactly. as I stated, there was literally no human being anywhere near him except in cars. not sure what he was saving himself from

Nice try. Masks are effective against pollen, particulates, dust etc. Walking along a road exposes one to large amounts of all of that. Again, you have no idea why he is wearing it. What is wrong with just good old-fashioned MYOB? Be smug, be judgmental if you wish. I get that. I do the same thing everytime I see some moron in a MAGA hat. But posting a picture in an online forum of some random dude walking with a mask on suggests a serious obsession with it to my mind.

I agree with this - and think it's a function of who people get their information from.
Many black churches are doing the masks during service on Sundays... after attending football games Friday and Saturday where less of a percentage of people wears them.
Older black folk tends to wear them at a higher rate.
I usually don't wear one.
