So apparently some Asians feel that black people are the REAL c00ns

[Professor Emeritus]

First off, this shyt about Black Americans not looking for solidarity with Africans or Black Latinos is some self-defeating shyt. Divided we fall. Yes, the Black American experience is unique. But hell, it's not like every Black American has the same "Black experience". You really saying that there aren't Black Americans in New York who don't have more in common with New York Africans and New York Haitians and New York Latinos than they do with some brothers in small-town Mississippi or middle-class Seattle?

I saw a poster say it well in the film room:

The black experience isn't monolithic. There are things we share in common but we're all different. Someone who grew up in Miami is going to have a different experience than me growing up in the D.C. area. Someone who grew up in poverty will have a different set of experiences than someone who came from wealth or a comfortable middle class situation. The black experience is boyz in the hood, menace to society, new jack city, Selma, think like a man, Malcolm x, fences, hidden figures,and moonlight all at once. I watch boyz in the hood and menace to society and I can't relate to any of that. But I can relate to boomerang or the core theme in moonlight of self discovery and trying to figure out who I am as a teenager and young adult. Or the relationship drama in About last night.

Cosby feels more real to me and my experiences than good times. Doesn't mean either one is wrong and not true. It speaks to the diversity of us as a people and that should always be celebrated

There ain't no reason to divide Black people further because "they ain't had our experience." There are a LOT of Black Americans who don't share crucial parts of your experience either...but there are still aspects they share.

A string by itself is easy to snap, but a rope of three strings together is impossible to break.

If someone is giving to the struggle, let them give. Wherever their family came from.

Some random Asians on Reddit post something and now you taking it as a fact that most Asians feel that way towards black people?

I swear some of yall just too stupid to be real people

People want to put asians into 1 bracket. we're all rich, model citizens, and run shops in the hood..

 

[Frida Giezman]

It's simple and it is very simple.

We are an underclass.

Asians are not.

Non-Black Latinos are not.

We are.

Asian and Whites and Non-Black Latinos cannot relate to us.

It's that damn simple.

Because they see nikkas like Lebron, Jay Z, Beyonce and Oprah...and now Obama...they think we have some sort of power.


Western Asians have no real fukking problems besides media and political representation...

Ima be real...THEY HAVE NO PROBLEMS.

Racism has a material manifestation. Where is it for Asian people...

Show me an Asian ghetto...show me some Asian HIV/AIDS epidemic...show me some Asians locked up in prison at alarming rates...show me an Asian health epidemic...show me an epidemic of Asian homelessness...


You fukking can't...Asians get made fun of and nobody thinks Asian men are masculine and Asian women are the White man's fukk toy and that's it...

nikkas need to stop trying to have some sort of ally and friendship with motherfukkers they have nothing in common with...

I don't even think native born African Americans (meaning nikkas from the Americas) should try to ally with Africans because we are different.

We are distinct group with a distinct issue with a distinct legacy that nobody else in the world has.

We got no damn allies besides us.

Lol u gotta be kidding

This. Creating false division amongst blacks will ensure perpetual poverty amongst

You're a fukking idiot if you don't think those opinions don't represent the majority of the Asian community.

It's hilarious how Asians in America literately built their wealth off of the backs of black folk, yet they look upon them with do much disdain.

Thankfully blacks are waking up finally and all those leeching ass Asians that constantly disrespect blacks will be removed from the community.

I need to see some receipts..

The same way you ain't losing sleep at night thinking about them, they not out here looking down on black people. Stop frontin - you don't know many Asian people and you just on here talkin out ya ass as usual

Not a single thing that you quoted was from a logical human being.

It's not fair to quote a bunch of insane degenerates on reddit and flaunt their opinions as anything other than paranoid nonsense.

Why do coli threads always quote some dudes from reddit, or people from youtube, instead of actually like...a book.

These people probably don't even interact with their own communities, they just live in their own heads so of course they're gonna say some crazy outlandish shyt, bringing them attention serves no purpose other than to further inflame emotions and instigate petty online arguments that are ultimately going to solve nothing and only further solidify the views of those who are more close minded from interacting with people different from them in the future.

Did you go?

Nikka I'm from Chicago. I went to all the slums

 

[blackzeus]

This is all generalizations born out of your own ignorance and hate.

Just like an Asian group talking about why they can't team up with blacks.

Eventually somebody has to stop the ignorance and hate, and get to work

The Asians that are rich, are rich because everybody else is poor At least American jobs gives you bonuses and sh*t. They giving their own bread and water in the sweat shops and cashing out

To the people who are saying don't take those comments seriously or dismiss them as trolls, Haven't y'all learned anything from the previous election? Y'all see how white folks voted right? People tend to not put their true selves out there in public so they going to put their views out somewhere.

As for the topic at hand, I really don't want to hear anything about allyship or grouping with folks that disillusioned. Some of these comments on that post are literally what I would hear white folks on their reddits.

Prison is the least of your worries in Asia breh

Ever heard of SARS?



The Philippines has 1.8 million abandoned children. Here's what keeps many from adoption




Your hood ain't no harder than an Asian hood nikka Asians got their problems too Real talk I was in Colombia, and some of the peeps in my hotel decided to take a tour of old town Bogota. We got the usual lecture from the hotel manager about the dangers of the Colombian streets, group reactions:

Me: Nikka I'm from Chicago

Venezuelan guy: Nikka we chop bodies for fun

Brazilian guy: Do I even gotta say it

Philippino guy: I'm from Manila *joker smile*

The eery glee of the philippino guy scared the sh*t out of me, the type of dude to chop nikkaz up while playing classical music and sh*t, that nikka done seen some wild sh*t

If he's talking strictly America, then yeah Asians don't have a real "problem"

But if cats stepped foot outside of the US like some of us have and see the rest of the world then they'd be

shyt ain't sweet for a lot of mufukkaz, not just nikkaz.

I swear yall go to the most random corners of the internet to get an opinion on a racial issue and extrapolate it out to the real world.

that post from those asians is such a non-issue in the grand scheme of everything else we gotta worry about as black people.

Im sorry but y'all gotta get with the times man

It's not like the 90s or even the early 00's where it was mostly basement dwellers and nerds that dominated messageboards

The Internet IS a reflection of real life in 2017 esp on a site as prominent as reddit.

These are regular people and their opinions DO indeed reflect a segment of their population.

Now whether you choose to care or not is up to you ....

I just thought it was interesting that Asians, of all groups, view blacks as "tools used by whites against Asians"

If I really wanted to instigate something, don't you think I'd post this in TLR like the rest of them trolls.

 

[Poitier]

I do think some of the grievances in OP are legitimate. I also think anti-Blackness is visible in Asian communities.

That said, I wouldn't say "alliances" are needed but I do think we can do business with Asians which is something I don't even consider with White people.

 

[Black Cobain]

I don't care if Asian men get emasculated,
I don't care if Hispanics are scared of getting deported,
I don't care if Native Americans are drinking themselves to death,
I don't care if Jews are getting Holocaust flashbacks,
And I really don't care if whites are having a heroin overdose

Hold. Your. Own. Nuts.

I live in Seattle bruh you have no idea how wrong you are.

Just because their problems are not IDENTICAL to Black struggles doesnt mean they dont deal with oppression and disadvantage. Once again its to nobodys benefit to turn oppression into a pissing contest.

First problem is painting Asians with a broad brush. Japs, Koreans, and Chinese do decently well for themselves but its a numbers game. In cities like Seattle, SF, NYC, you see a lot of successful Chinese and Japs because they flock in large numbers so of course you see the success more. Realize that Chinatown/Japantown IS the hood for Chinese and Japanese people.

However Cambodians, Vietnamese, Thais, Samoans, and Filipinos are considered bottom tier Asians and are really the "street" people of Asia. They deal with crime, poverty, and a lack of resources almost just as much as Blacks do. Forreal, go to a Samoan or Cambodian hood with your chest out and see how hard they bang.

Off top a huge problem ALL ethnicities of Asia face is lack of westernization. Believe it or not, a shytton of Asians here in Seattle cannot speak English (or read it) to save their lives and are at an extreme disadvantage due to that.

They have their share of problems bruh. And I havent even brought up Natives yet.....or how Asians congregate in areas that already have high rates of income disparity (making six figures in Seattle for example isnt much....)
