Those populations are perfectly capable of speaking for themselves, and don't need you to do it for them. You have an opinion, don't dress it up in someone else's situation.

The current leading population for vaccination rate in Alabama is the band of majority black districts (and subsequently case numbers have gone down and down and down) there.

You know what those populations are at risk from? Crippling hospital debt from contracting preventable diseases being spread by people pushing antivax nonsense and who do not take preventative measures. And being shot at their jobs when asking those people to wear masks on private property, for some reason.

Great, let's just be consistent and take this perspective when it comes to voter ID laws, too.

It wouldn’t be inconsistent to advocate for voter ID laws and let minorities disagree.

His point was not speaking for minorities.
