As media blames attacks on ‘white supremacy’, another Asian-American man severely beaten by black suspect

You racists seem to think it's OK for Asians to practice racism against blacks.


There is a long and complex history of racism toward Black people in the Asian community. For example, the model minority myth — a phenomenon that portrays Asian Americans as uniquely successful and docile — was created by the ruling class of white Americans to drive a racial wedge between Asians and other minority groups. The myth weaponizes the perceived Asian American academic and financial success to undermine the effects of racism toward other minority groups. However, a significant number of Asian Americans truly believe in this mythos and continue to perpetuate anti-Blackness through it. The effects of anti-Black sentiments continue to rear their ugly head, not only in diasporic Asian American circles, but across Asian communities globally: from the use of blackface to monkey costumes to the discrimination of Black people in China due to COVID-19 fears.

View attachment 485079As protests against police brutality continue to erupt across the nation and world, one particular conversation is taking place within the Asian American community: Tou Thao, the Hmong police officer who watched as his white colleague, Derek Chauvin, killed a black man, George Floyd, by holding his knee against Floyd’s neck for several minutes.

This isn’t the first time an Asian American officer has contributed to police violence. In 2014, New York City police officer Peter Liang and his partner were patrolling a public housing development when Liang, a rookie, fired his gun. The bullet ricocheted off a wall and killed Akai Gurley, a 28-year-old black man, who was walking down the stairs.

There’s also a larger history of tensions between Asian American and Black communities. In 1992, many Korean-owned businesses were damaged when riots erupted in Los Angeles following the acquittal of an LAPD officer who was caught on camera brutally beating Rodney King, a black man. The unrest was also ignited by the killing of a 15-year-old black girl, Latasha Harlins, by a Korean liquor-store owner who merely received probation, community service, funeral restitution, and a $500 fine.

Then there are the more everyday examples of anti-blackness in some Asian cultures — whether it’s Asian store owners profiling black customers, Asian customers using skin-whitening products, or members of the community even saying the N-word out loud.

30+ Ways Asians Perpetuate Anti-Black Racism Everyday

1. Calling the police on Black people — doing this *escalates* everything and is very possibly life threatening for Black folks, yet I see Asians using this tool of oppression too quickly whenever they perceive (a lot of times not even real) threat. I challenge everyone to reflect on the time you’ve called the cops — did they actually help? What did they do that was helpful? We mistake calling the cops with safety — they don’t keep us safe.
2. Asian store owners following Black people around, profiling, and over surveilling. Being “afraid” of Black people the moment they are in sight.
3. Not believing Black people’s stories and struggles: “are you sure they meant it that way?” “it’s not always about race” aka gaslighting the fuck out of them. This is especially harmful because gaslighting that comes from other marginalized groups is EVEN MORE gaslighty.
4. Preferring lighter skin color over dark; using and promoting skin “whitening” products. Colorism has long been a part of Asian cultures globally and the damning effects are seen within and across different Asian communities. While in Asian countries, the preference for lighter skin might come from the disparity in socioeconomic class (e.g., farm workers being darker vs. wealthier or upper caste people being fairer), we must question how this prevalent association (wealthy and educated=lighter skin and poor and uneducated = darker skin) manifests in our behaviors and narratives today.

7. Respectability politics based on false narratives and model minority myth: “They bring this upon themselves” “They should not commit crimes” “Asians worked hard to earn our place.”

8. Believing we can fit in if we act more like white people. Don’t be like Andrew Yang. He is wrong.

9. Using and co-opting social justice language created to achieve equity for Black people and other marginalized communities in a way that *only* benefits us. “Affirmative Action is racist against Asians” ← it’s not and we need to call our people in.

20. Not understanding how we use the same tools white supremacy uses to oppress us to oppress Black folks. Being the oppressor’s favorite tool to create a racial divide among people of color.

As media blames attacks on 'white supremacy', another Asian-American man severely beaten by black suspect

Despite a near epidemic of black on Asian crime in major US cities, mainstream media and liberals claim it is a result of "white privilege" and "white supremacy" without defining why this is so.

NEW YORK CITY- As the mainstream media continues to paint the narrative of so-called “white supremacy,” an onslaught of crime being committed against Asian-Americans by blacks continues to be ignored, likely because it doesn’t fit the desired narrative.
The latest incident occurred once again in New York City where an elderly Asian-American man is fighting for his life after being beaten by a black man in the Harlem section of the city. His crime? Apparently because he was speaking in Mandarin. This is the latest in a city which has seen a near epidemic of black on Asian crime.

Are we to believe the racist Quisling Media or our lying eyes?
This may be one of the only places it will be reported and read about. It doesn’t fit the Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Commie narrative. If it was a white person that hit a Asian then it would be everywhere.
Obviously, virtually all attacks on Asians are committed by Blacks, and it’s been going on for years. An Asian woman wrote about it as far back as the early nineties. Many blacks will tell you that blacks are the most racist. Many hate whites, Asians, and Hispanics.
Egad!!! Who would have thunk were so many Black White Supremacists?

Anyone who can beat on the elderly and start with a sucker punch I don't care what color their skin is they are not human and not worth the dirt they are made of. Hell burns hotter for these monsters. I don't want to call them animals as no animal acts like that . They say they don't know what to charge them with. You don't charge with any thing. You kill them, SLOW.

Since an Asian organization has tracked these attacks and find most of them are being done by whites, why do we only see videos of blacks doing it in here is skin color doesn't matter?
