Longing For a New Front In The Race Wars

Its very important to progressives that Asian-Americans feel themselves to be threatened by whites. Far too important an agenda item to be left to mere facts and fate.

From a different direction, Slate chatted with a properly progressive prof who was intent on explaining that any notion of Asian-American tension with Blacks is just lazy thinking. Are you remembering Korean-American shopkeeprs standing on their store rooftops during the LA riots? Or Al Sharpton leading protests against Asian-American deli owners in NYC? Don't be lazy!

And if you use that frame, you make it an Asian-Black thing, you’re focusing on the two groups and taking attention away from the larger structures of power in which they’re embedded—not just racial structures, but also capitalism. Think about the relationship between Korean merchants buying a liquor store in Compton, and their Black customers. This is about capitalism, the way it creates divisions between groups and deems certain people disposable.

Slate closes with solid advice from the professor - even if you're getting assaulted by a Black person, remember the real enemy!

But I think it’s important, when looking at violence against Asian Americans, not to lose that context. When Asian Americans understandably feel fear and anger and sorrow about these attacks on our own communities, I think we also have to ask ourselves, Are we fighting for Black lives as hard as we’re fighting for our own? It’s in moments like this that it’s really difficult to remember, because we’re afraid and upset. But to remember that we are advantaged, compared to Black people, is what it takes to be a good ally—even though it can be very hard, at times like these. But I think these are the moments when it’s the most important to do it.

MT,

I am keeping the little guy who looks like my old cat Harry, who was named after a cat in Charlotte's Web, and palled around with my son, who named him. He's all gray.

Meanwhile, the all-black one has not only learned to climb the baby gate, but after I came in here with a houseplant I had repotted, he was curled up asleep on the floor at the foot of my bed. Put him back, and voila! - here he is again. I am going to let the tabby, Miss Kitty, who is his older half-sister, baby sit him for a while.

MissM, believe it or not the junior high school in my very blue town has a strict dress code. It started when my son was in 7th grade. Khakis, no jeans, collared shirts, no logos.

In my opinion this dress code transformed the school from what my parents had called “the zoo” to a great school that prepped the kids for high school.

It also was when I told my kids they would all be doing their own laundry. I had such fights with my son who complained about dirty clothes. I said do you own laundry, and plan your clothes for five days of school on Sundays. I’ll make sure you have enough clothing to choose from.

Now they do too much laundry :-)

[MissMarple2]

CCGirl,

That's a great story! When I look back to my high school years, there was a lot of angst amongst the girls over having labels like Villager and true madras plaid shirts, etc. I'm a little too old for the clothes with logos on them. Also, skirts only! And Bass Weejun loafers!

States are getting much more aggressive about counting the election ballots. So let’s say it comes out that Trump won. What happens next. Overturning an election long after inauguration will set a precedent that will make every election won by a republican a nightmare. We’ve never removed a president for a fraudulent election. But still....

Then there is the spineless court.

[sbwaters]

Jane, if the ballots do turn in Trump’s favor, I don’t expect Biden to leave the White House.

I expect Republicans in the Senate to grow a spine and several Democrats in the House and Senate to not vote en bloc with Schumer and Pelosi.

The MSM newsreaders and pundits will take a deserved hit, but they can’t afford to give in.

Supreme Court decisions will be narrow, focused and designed not to upset the apple cart further.

I expect the six Democrat governors to go down in flames, and state Republican parties to start voting down RINOs.

More clear writing about how to laugh at Wokeness will come to light.

Social media will face increased competition.

Fauci will retire to write his prepaid memoir.

The rest of the southern border fence will be completed, and Xi and Putin will decide that the time is not right to push the next administration — a view that Harris/Biden will claim was because of their new policies.

Local citizens will start repopulating school boards and begin to tell credentialed morons to stop trying to remake their children.

... and the country and world will have sidestepped major disaster.
