Darkstar757 is the most racist person I have ever seen. First he bashes non-blacks, then he makes outrageous demands (50% black senate, HA. only
13% of the US is black). He can't understand a very simple fact: just because African-Americans had it bad doesn't mean other races didn't have it bad either. No one deserves anything, even the guy up top has to work his ass off some time or another. If someone threw you into a well, would you work your @ss off climbing out, or would you sit on your lazy @ss until someone pulls you up? I will bet anyone that Darkstar's answer will be that he will be sitting there until they build him a gem plated elevator, and then only if 4 white slaves carry him.
If someone can provide a good explanation to why Asians get boned by AA, then I will change my mind about AA. There are poor Asians, just like there are poor Africans. You can claim that a higher percentage of Africans are poor, but guess what, no one helped Asians climb out of that hole. Slavery is not a good excuse, since it doesn't apply to Hispanics. Plus, Asians were basically slaves too back then. Here's some facts about Chinese-American heritage.
-Gold Rush and Transcontinental Railroad. Many Chinese immigrated in search of a better life. Whites first welcomed the fresh supply of labor, but soon became worried about competition. Special taxes and laws are applied against the Chinese. Soon, anti-Chinese crusades become a monthly occurrence. "The Chinese Must Go!" becomes a household phrase.
-
The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882: No more Chinese laborers (basically everyone) allowed in the US; existing immigrants are encouraged to leave. The Chinese are the
only ethnic group
ever denied entrance into the US.
EVER. This leads to: prohibited by law to testify in court, to own property, to vote, to have families join them, to marry non-Chinese, and to work in institutional agencies. No Chinese were allow citizenship. Americans who had Chinese ancestry got their citizenship revoked.
-Chinatown: Not all Chinese want to live in Dai Fao (Big City - Chinatown, San Francisco). But it was the only place allowed by the American government that a Chinese can live. Basically, it was one big internment camp. But the Chinese found a way to survive and prosper. Even when an earthquake and fire on April 18, 1906 leveled Chinatown, it was a Chinese- "American" who paid to rebuilt the city, not the government. Ironically, because the immigration records got buried by the earthquake too, many Chinese were finally able to sneak in children and wives.
-Angel Island (1910 - 1940) : A island made for housing and interrogation of Chinese immigrants. Average stay is 2 weeks, longest is 22 months. Adults were separated from children. Each person were interrogated alone. Rejectees (the majority) were sent back to China, even if the family has to be broken apart.
-December 17, 1943, 60 years of legalized racism comes to an end as President Roosevelt signed the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act due to the Second World War.
This is only a few difficulties faced by the Chinese; I don't even have an idea how bad it must have been for the Japanese and other races. My dad came here 15 years ago, alone, a student, with $300 dollars in his pocket, now we own a $300,000 house. Did he ever receive any handouts? No. Did he ever beg for one? No. Did he ever quit dreaming that one day his entire family can enjoy a life here in the US? Never. He work hard, he worked smart, and now he reap the rewards.
I think Chris Rock said it the best ?I love black people, but I hate n!ggers. It's like our own personal civil war. On the one side, there's black people. On the other side, you've got n!ggers. The n!ggers have got to go. Every time black people want to have a good time, n!ggers mess it up. You can't do anything without some ignorant-@ss n!ggers fvcking it up.?
