The People v the Klan, hanging of 19 yr old Michal Donald in 1981.

FBI agent #JamesBodman solved the case 2 yrs after, when others just wanted it ā€œclosedā€. HE cared!

So letā€™s just rename the people found guilty in Mobile, Ala.

*James ā€œTigerā€ Knowles
*Henry Hays
*Frank Cox
1/
2/..
*Benny Jack
*Teddy Kzar

They should be remembered as ā€œhatersā€.

Just like
#DerekChauvin of today.

Just like police in Windsor,VA Last Dec. 5 who pulled over Lt. Caron Nazario and shoved guns in his face - for what? Those officers: Joe Gutierrez & Daniel Crocker...
3/... ā€œHatersā€

ā€œGenerations of
Gross injusticeā€

Those of us who are not haters need to work with #BLM and voice our feelings about what is going on!

Attacks against Asians in the United States have also increased since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

This has to do with the remarks made by Donald Trump about the "China virus". But the racism against Asians goes back further.
It's difficult to quantify, but the sense of threat has grown so strong that vigilante groups have formed in the hardest-hit cities of New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland, patrolling Asian neighborhoods at night to protect residents .

Here a #Thread about the #History of #China and #Japan:
The inhabitants of the areas that are now China have always identified with their family, their hometown, their province, but not with "China".

Until the end of the 19th century, it would not have occurred to the Chinese to speak of their ā€œnationā€, and even the name ā€œChinaā€ was alien to them.
It was the ā€œimperialist powersā€, especially the Japanese, who first gave the Chinese the idea that they were a nation.

There's a term called "White Left" (ē™½å·¦) which originated among US immigrants from mainland China.
The White Left believes that State-sponsored programs are the best way to fix social ills, but they've never experienced what the mainland Chinese dub "the iron fist of socialism".
Now the whole Left in Anglosphere is shouting #BlackLivesMatter w/o really understanding the complex historical factors that caused America's racial tensions. Thus police brutality got turned into a racism issue. Which is not to say there's no racial dimension to it, but still.
Meanwhile, China has been force-assimilating the Uyghurs in Xinjiang, and yet the White Left doesn't particularly care for that issue. There are also numerous cases of black people beating up ethnic Chinese for COVID19, but the White Left is ignorant about them. #AsianLivesMatter
