What do you think of Asian and Black solidarity?
Post Body

I notice during Covid some bad apples of the Black Community harassing Asian Elders. That said all races have bad apples but I am speaking for myself. I don't judge the entire race because the actions of a few bad apples. I don't know about other Asian Americans because I don't speak for them.

Yeah I know of Harriet Tubman and Dr.King. Growing up as a kid I really liked MMPR Black aka Zack Taylor because he was portrayed as a normal teenager and also Power Rangers was cool to me. Big fan of Walter Jones aka MMPR Black.

Vietnamese people can relate to Blacks because Vietnamese people have been whipped and used as coolies by the French Imperialists. Ain't fun working in labor camps and trying to rip off Rubber for the stupid French Colonial war machine.

"Black civil rights leaders also had a direct hand in advocating for Southeast Asian refugees. Bayard Rustin, a Black and gay civil rights leader who co-organized the March on Washington, was a member of the International Rescue Committeeā€™s Citizens Commission on Indochinese Refugees. Rustin visited refugee camps in Thailand in 1978, listening to the struggles of Cambodian, Hmong, Lao, and Vietnamese refugees. In part due to Rustinā€™s advocacy, President Carter supported a policy that rescued Southeast Asian refugees who had been turned away elsewhere."

"Asian American history is directly tied to the activism of Black Americans. In fact, Black civil rights leaders had a direct hand in advocating for Southeast Asian refugees."

"In fact, Black civil rights leaders had a direct hand in advocating for Southeast Asian refugees. Bayard Rustin was a Black, gay activist during the civil rights movement who co-organized the March on Washington 1963, where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his iconic ā€œI Have a Dreamā€ speech."

We have a few thing in common but like you said, not much. Yes Asians were put in intermittent camps but they were also given reparations for it. Also African American were the ONLY race of people denied access to education, voting, hell even living. We werenā€™t even given civil rights until 1960s and we had been here YEARS and white supremacy gave others the superiority complex that they were better than us and they ran with it. Sure out community has itā€™s issue but look at how many years we were DENIED and trying to play catch up. Plus, the ā€œwe all have the same chances/choices today is bsā€ because even you donā€™t wake up and have the same chances/choices as Jeff Bezos, again a rich person.
