Edit: you know what? Fuck this place. I’m not gonna argue with a bunch of pedantic assholes all day.
A short rant because I got banned for saying that there’s a lot of anti-blackness in the Asian community. (Basically, I said that a lot of people are heavily influenced by the handful of sensationalized reports of homeless mentally ill black people attacking Asian people. I also said that they weaponized their fear to end AA and increase already ballooning levels of mass incarceration.)
I’m tired of black oppression only being relevant when it can be directly used to argue for a larger caused. I’m tired of pointing out obvious racism only for people to turn around and be like, Nu-uh you’re the real racist! I’m tired of having to pretend that I’m not impacted by any of this only for other people to mock the oppression they also pretend isn’t real most of the time. I’m tired of wondering if being alive is even worth it not because I hate myself but because the world is so irrevocably racist, hypocritical and just nasty in general.
That’s really disappointing. I’m Asian and it’s absolutely true, we have to deal with the anti-blackness in our community. Pointing it out doesn’t make someone racist
Edit: Having reread the original comment I agree it's worded poorly. I think it unintentionally stigmatizes homeless and mentally ill people by portraying them as attackers, devoid of the context that they are much more likely to be victims of violence (even if OP said that it was just a handful of cases, I think having that context about anti-homeless and saneist violence is important.) The second part of the comment, "I thought the removal of AA and the increase in mass incarceration would’ve pacified them, but apparently not" seems to have been attempted sarcasm. Anti-Blackness in Asian-American communities is still an issue, I like this post about the how "Stop Asian Hate" is an insufficient framework to address said Asian hate. This is not to say that anti-Asian hate fueled by sinophobia isn't rising, of course.
