The article "BLM Versus Lockdowns: Four Years Later" highlights the stark double standards applied by authorities in enforcing COVID-19 lockdowns based on political ideology. It provides numerous examples of how protests against lockdowns were swiftly condemned and punished, while Black Lives Matter protests violating the same rules were celebrated and endorsed by the same officials[1].
The key points are:
-
Authorities like governors Whitmer, Pritzker, Cuomo, and Murphy enforced strict lockdowns but made exceptions for BLM protests, even joining and encouraging them while threatening harsh penalties for other gatherings[1].
-
Public health officials and organizations justified this double standard, claiming racism was a public health crisis that warranted supporting BLM protests despite violating their own guidelines[1].
-
This blatant hypocrisy and selective enforcement based on political ideology eroded public trust in lockdown policies and exposed them as being driven more by partisan motives than public health concerns[1][2][3].
The article argues this inconsistent application of rules revealed the underlying vacuity and loss of democratic accountability behind the entire COVID response, ultimately contributing to the unraveling of lockdown policies[1].
