To My Employer: I Am Declining The Vaccine Because It Represents White Privilege And Supremacy.

Is your employer mandating you get the vaccine? Here is one way to handle it.

To My Employer:

In an effort to detach from the white man’s innate desire to self-preserve and oppress, I will decline the COVID vaccine until every person of color on the planet has access to it. This is what ‘doing my part’ truly looks like.

--

“I got the COVID vaccine to help others”.

“I did my part. I got the COVID vaccine”.

This is exactly how white people rationalize and practice their white privilege in a society born from white supremacy.

Receiving the COVID vaccine, first and foremost, protects the individual from COVID. Do not let anyone convince you otherwise. It is an act that directly impacts personal health before anyone else. The COVID vaccine provides protection, relief, and most importantly, freedom. It is a selfish act, for all practical purposes, because it protects the individual before it provides benefit to anyone else. The main reason white people are stringent in vaccine compliance is so that they regain normalcy and return to their privileged lives that they swiftly abandoned during the pandemic in an act of self-preservation.

That isn’t to say that vaccine compliance is not helpful to others. It is. But this notion that the well-being of others is what’s driving vaccine compliance is only word-speak: it’s propagandized language that increases vaccine compliance and hides the white man’s inner-selfishness in a cloak of nobleness. How has white privilege and supremacy grown to the magnitude we see in 2021? It is the selfishness of the white man on the inside- the appearance of empathy and nobleness on the surface. The innate desire to dominate society through concealed oppression on the inside- the appearance of empathy and virtuous bravery on the outside. Brilliant. It works.

Most suggest they are genuine amidst their display of care for others. I’d suggest this is an automated reflex to preserve a positive self-image. It’s a reflexive behavior to rationalize their oppression and hierarchical dominance by creating an illusion of compassion.

White privilege is rooted in the mind of every white person on Earth. It frames the inner workings of the mind. “It is helpful for others” or “I did it to save others’ lives” is exactly how white privilege would manifest itself during a pandemic. A selfish mind, acting in it’s own best interest, knows how to stealthily conceal itself in fake intentions while appearing to have others’ best interest in mind. After all, helping others is one of the greatest ways someone can benefit their self. There is no scenario where helping others is not rooted in self-interest or self-gratification. It feels good to help others. Helping others enhances self-image, public perception, and in such case, allows the white man to get back to their normal, privileged lives. Even acting in the interest of others is rooted in the privileged man’s self-interest. It’s simple and efficient. Genius, really.

I am not getting the COVID vaccine because I acknowledge the selfishness of the white man, and I acknowledge that every observable intention to help others through vaccine compliance is rooted in selfishness and oppression. Receiving the vaccine is an act of selfishness. The urging of COVID vaccine compliance is the white man’s pathway to normalcy. I acknowledge this. I will atone for this by abstaining from behaviors that are selfish and self-preserving to the white man’s power.

There are millions of people of color on this planet who do not have access to the vaccine. There are millions of people of color on this planet who will be oppressed in a greater degree as soon as the white man regains normalcy in their lives after receiving the vaccine.

I will not be getting the COVID vaccine until every single person of color on this planet has access to what I have in America- the land of white supremacy.

“The perception of empathy and virtuous bravery on the outside”. This is why the Left has higher vaccine compliance. It is a beautiful, romantic narrative that they are living out in their mind¹.
