Asian weekly's "Why I Hate Blacks" column blasted

i didnt take offense to the article, but i would love to research his name by geneology and stereotype his whole family tree as racist, though.
you know just for kicks..
this was in san francisco, one of the most liberal and racially-mixed places by square inch, on the planet. this type of writing might have been viewed as challenging to the ermm, smarter audience. im sure he was well aware that it would garner attention, as his other editorials have.
if hes a self-admitted 'chinese supremacist', all hes doing is forming questions as statements, he wanted to be proven wrong. the sad part about it, is this as as much progress as hes made on the issue..
thats home to some of the better writers...its not getting past anyone because it dosent get past me

Nothing, still doesn't excuse ignorance, and there's nothing wrong with AsianWeek condemning the article either, it's their paper. He can walk around his room blabbering that shit. And it's hilarious how all you motha fuckas get so damn patriotic and constitutional as soon as derogatory shit towards blacks are brought up. But if it's about your race then it would be ignorant..
Here go a good response to that article by P.Moore:

This is the exerpt that I thought was good
First wut Eng said:
"Blacks are easy to coerce. This is proven by the fact that so many of them, including Reverend Al Sharpton, tend to be Christians.
Yet, at the same time, they spend much of their time whining about how much they hate “the whites that oppressed them.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Christianity the religion that the whites forced upon them?"
P.Moore's response:
Fun Fact: Kenneth Eng must believe that Asians are easy to coerce also, if the statistics on Asian religion are any indication.
According to C.N. Le at Asian-Nation, 21.1% of all Asians are Catholic, 9.6% of all Asians are Protestant, 5.8% of all Asians are Christian, 5.2% of all Asians are Muslim, 0.4% of all Asians are Jewish, 9.1% of all Asians are Buddhist, and 20.2% of all Asians are none/Agnostic.
That would make roughly 37% of all Asians who believe in a God that the White Man “forced upon them”. Kenneth Eng, then, believes that one out of every three Asians you or I meet is easy to coerce, whiny, and weak.

I think its important for people to go against these kind of articles and cartoons. Yeah, no one said anything about the why i hate whites and why i hate asians articles, and the reason for this is that the white and asian communities in America really havent been soo completely discriminated against in our nation's history. When they were being discriminated against it was most likely due to their imigration status just like all "threatening" socially changing waves of immigration, and today many whites and asians are well applied and adjusted for living in American society.
Even though at many times our nation held discriminatory laws against Asians, those laws did not send nearly the same reverberating shockwave to a race as the centuries of slavery and harsh segregation of the African Americans did to the African American community in our nation. Also, African Americans were not given many oppurtunities to flourish after the civil war due to the government being unwilling to pay for their slavery and further segregation.
So, my message is that this response from the black community is completely warranted due to the history of our nation's racism against black people, and furthermore it should be every individuals right to fight against racism of thier or anothers race, as we have learned many globally harsh lessons that we must work to never let racism dominate society once again.
I get mad when people say the holocaust didn't happen, like any responsible global citizen should. And I think we shud do the same when racist material like this threatening the African American community as well as any other race, whether for the purpose of comedic relief or not, is published.

I wouldn't take it personal if he wrote something about latinos...
he has wrote articles WHY HE HATES ASIANS and in the past he did write articles about Caucasians as well..also about a year ago he also wrote an article about Latino not taking care of their own communities, letting then go down the drain and what not..
I guess now a days people can not express themselves without being looked as racist ...
you and others might look at the article as "racist" and what not..
but maybe you should read his article throughly...
i read it...I don't think he's racist..but he did state some facts though...
I've seen it with my own eyes..blacks/whites/Latinos attacking Asian folks...
it's vice-versa tho....like the problem that undocumented Mexican/Latino immigrants are having in Richmond, they are being the targets of robberies caused by blacks....
so if I wrote an article about that..would that make me a racist because I'm expressing my feelings on how I feel about them? NO!
Eng just stating facts and that's it...

First of all, it might be because he's asian!!! Second, the history of the Asian American struggle is nothing the same as the struggle and repression of the black community in this nation for centuries! If you were a Jew living in present day Germany, wouldn't you want to make a big deal if someone wrote an article discussing all the ways he hates Jewish people????
yeah the point is that people see the word black and they put their racist alert up. if "black" isnt in the equation people have alot more liberty to make stereotypical comments without getting shit on for it. like i did. and like the writer did who did 2 previous articles just as stereotypical, but no noise was made
