You know what the worst part is? We always do hop up to help them and we take the slings and they don't even want to admit it. Asians blame blacks for not getting into schools nowadays and have never actually acknowledged the fact that they only reason they can go to those schools in the first place is because of the efforts of black people. They didn't do shit during the Civil Rights movement.

Every time I've protested and marched, I've personally seen images like the ones posted
A myriad of different races and ethnicities
Every time
And it's sickening how some of these so-called conscious woke hotep militant perverted what it means to be "pro-back"
They lie, misinform, and cause needless divisiveness

So credit where it's due. Some Asians have stood up in solidarity with blacks. That's cool. That doesn't mean they've supported a coalition. If they did, their leaders would have reached out to some of our leaders to try and build on perceived problems between the races instead of feeding the narrative that blacks are preying on Asians.
Think about if you got problems with a friend. If you're really friends and there is an issue between you, are you going to air that person out in front of everyone or go straight to them to try and work things out?

I too have pictures and done activist work with all races
do these few people represent the entire Asian diaspora?...and does that bear any relevance to the majority experience of Black americans in this country when dealing with AAPI anti-blackness?

Does the entire Asian Diaspora represent inaction and anti-blackness. It goes both ways.

fact is, Black ppl are not the worlds social justice mules and you dont get to use us in your times of trouble while perpetuating anti-Black sterotypes/violence/and dehumanization on the daily.

hear me out, white supremacy and u.s imperalism
will always always be to blame for this shit but Im not going to undermine Black ppls feelings about the asian community and our long sordid history.
you can feel however you feel but demanding Black folks link arms with any and everybody while our socioeconomic conditions continously go ignored in this country is disingenuous and counter-productive
i want good for those that want good for me
and if you want me dead guess what? i want you dead too.

I live in Toronto and encounter more of them. Granted, your American reality is more conflict ridden than mine.
I just don't want to see ppl making an entire race of ppl out to be an enemy. When I throw in a little grey into the black and white to show ppl are here for us too it's meant to avoid buying into divisiveness. Otherwise what are you doing pushing back with militant response? Conflict begets more conflict.
Also, who is perpetuating anti-blackness daily? An immigrant filled hair shop? How many educated American born Asians do you really associate with?

Black people interact with asians on the daily, especially if you live in predominately Black poorer cities/neighborhoods
they run the hair stores, the one stops (convenience stores) the laundry mats and the corner bars where they plop your change down instead of putting it in your hand behind bulletproof glass

You link arms with those willing to. You attempt to sway opinion through direct action and education when they aren't. It's that simple.

So a bunch of immigrants then?
Immigrants coming from homogeneous demographics aren't the most welcoming people.
Additionally, Asians are more represented among the middle and upper class compared to other PoC minorities. It's bound to see them lose a sense of duty and solidarity to disaffected communities. Such is the way of class based antagonisms.
