"You're not black on the inside, I'm more black than you on the inside," a masked white man yelled at Immanuel yesterday on the steps the Supreme Court in Washington, where she was part of a group of doctors staging a press conference to promote the use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as a coronavirus cure. The man added that Immanuel was "betraying Black Lives Matter" and that "there were people during the time of slavery who enabled the slavers."
Immanuel, a Texas pediatrician, laughed off the protester's verbal onslaught, gently bumped fists with him, and walked away. Just how her views on HCQ made her a race traitor, the man didn't explain.
Immanuel was part of a group called America's Frontline Doctors, which gathered in white medical coats on Monday to draw attention to their theory that masks aren't necessary to stop the spread of coronavirus because HCQ is a cure. A video of their event was posted by Breitbart News on Twitter and retweeted by President Donald Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr, before being censored. Twitter deleted the videos and locked the accounts of Breitbart and Trump Jr, saying they violated its Covid-19 misinformation policy.
Facebook also censored the video, and Squarespace took down the doctors' website, saying it had violated its acceptable use policy "regarding activity that's false, fraudulent, inaccurate or deceiving."

part of the problem, as I see it, is that folks with common sense tend to have decent mannersJim Jones always insisted he was black.
Whilst creating a situation in which it would be considered the heighth of bad manners for a lot of black people with actual black skin not to step over onto the plain of the beyond 'cause they couldn't get their turnip greens to grow in the jungle or whatever.
You can see that in some of the wrangling-over-the-airy-buzzer footage. Hundreds of people kept in check by Jonestown's version of 'good manners'.
Ordell told him it was Ordell Robbie, spelled it for him when the man asked, and said where he lived.He's also called 'Whitebread' because he's 'high cullud.'
"That a Jamaican name?"
"Hey, do I sound like one of them? You hear them talking that island potwah to each other, it's like a different language. No, man, I'm African-American. I used to be Neegro, I was cullud, I was black, but now I'm African-American. What're you, Jewish, huh?"
"You're African-American, I guess I'm French-American," Max Cherry said. "With maybe some New Orleans Creole in there, going way back."
