As an Asian-American, I'm Tired of Being Racially Gaslit By My Peers

[The Lonious Monk]

Post these Asians who've spoken out against this propaganda.

This is a piece written by a black man and an Asian man references some Asian scholars who explain how tensions first began between Black and Asian peoples in the U.S. and how white supremacy basically made it a problem.

The history of tensions — and solidarity — between Black and Asian American communities, explained

After a recent surge in anti-Asian attacks, the narrative quickly turned to hostilities between Black and Asian American communities. But that’s too convenient of a scapegoat.

Here is a piece from two Asian professors at the Brookings institute. They basically call bullshit on the narrative that blacks are the ones doing most of the abuse and point out that that claim is harmful to Asian interests.

Jennifer Lee and Tiffany Huang write that many Asian Americans recognize commonalities with Black Americans and that these public acts of interracial solidarity show what is possible when we imagine empathy and justice.

This one doesn't really speak out against the propaganda, but it's by an Asian woman and came out right in the thick of the anti-black propaganda but doesn't even mention black people specifically and certainly doesn't blame black people for what's happening.

There were 3,800 anti-Asian racist incidents, mostly against women, in past year

“There is an intersectional dynamic going on that others may perceive both Asians and women and Asian women as easier targets,” one professor said.

There are some other examples throughout this very thread too.

I know there were and are Asians who support BLM, but I’ve never seen a famous Asian personality do a PSA speaking out against injustices perpetrated towards black people.

That's the consequence of having your money tied to how much people like you.

At this point, some of these people are probably clout chasing. You know how it goes. Once one person starts doing some dumb shit, others come out of the woodwork to do it too.

Look at those WWE style punches they were throwing.

If y’all saying it staged it says more about the black folks doing it

 

[Mister B.]

But we’re you or were you not throwing insults when niggas criticized Biden. You was saying noggas was supporting Trump if they didn’t vote lol. But all y’all was calling names

I did not.

You and the infiltrater Cac got some wild ass narratives.

His gaslighting bullshit is standard on here when he’s in the wrong and can’t shuffle his appropriating ass out. You however, I’m rather disappointed in.

I SAID vote or don’t. But if you don’t vote, don’t say shit about how the election shakes out.

Bruh I remember you openly in other threads trading insults with ic and race cmon now and they didn’t always start it. You a dick head too don’t lie

 

[ChicagoFigure]

Ehh I beg to differ on this. Not gonna say I have the solution...being that my "solution" is trashing the two party system and can't say how to go about that but....voting lesser of two evils is exactly why we're in the predicament we're in. That and party loyalist who pick the same side every cycle blindly.

Such voters contribute to this shit show much more than non voters, and never practice accountability. They are more responsible for the shit they're telling us not to bitch about, while bitching at us for not participating.

 

[SeaSnake]

If you pay taxes you can literally complain about whatever. If Trump was not as extreme do y’all really think Biden would’ve survived. Like had Trump just been a bit more competent I think Biden would’ve lost badly.
