Stop Asian Hate
The spokesman for the Cherokee Sheriff’s Department in Atlanta, Jay Baker, felt sorry for the mass shooter who had shot and killed 8 people in his county, “Yesterday was a really bad day for him.” Baker’s job is to talk to the press on behalf of the department. He doesn’t investigate anything or go on patrol. He’s a PR guy. His comment was not because he was inexperienced in talking to the media. It wasn’t a blunder. He really does empathize with the shooter because he too has a problem with Asians. He posted what he thought was a funny photo of anti-Asian t-shirts on his Facebook page that said, “Covid 19 — Imported Virus from Chy-na”.
Jay Baker knew exactly what he was saying. He not only defended the killer (poor white male shooter, he has a sex addiction and Asian women who work at massage parlors are a temptation for him, he was just trying to eliminate the problem, HE’S the victim), but he has now planted in potential jurors’ minds that the victims were just sex workers so therefore not really human and the killer was a good boy who was just having a bad day.
The shooter wasn’t done. He was headed to Florida to keep his bad day going when he got caught.
Most mass shooters are almost always white males and most of them have serious issues with women.
Fox News is using the shooter’s high school yearbook photo where he’s wearing a tuxedo and is clean shaven instead of his mugshot where he looks like a rabid back woods MAGA sex fiend.
The media is more focused on the boy and his bad day than they are the victims of the crime, many of whom could have been victims of sex trafficking. Sex trafficking is linked to massage parlors and spas. Women are tricked or forced into working in them and threatened with deportation if they try and leave. Profits from illegal facilities are $3 billion a year but the women who work in them don’t benefit from any of that money. Many are forced to work for free to work off debt or are kept as actual captive slaves. Their traffickers hold their passports and other documents and forbid them from leaving the premises. They live there. The spas are everywhere operating in plain sight in strip malls in 1,000 cities across America. Most of the women working in them are from China and South Korea. It’s not known yet if any of the victims the shooter murdered were in fact victims of sex trafficking but it’s important to point this out because the media isn’t doing it. They’re talking about the good boy gone wrong.
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft got busted for patronizing Asian massage parlors and was even videotaped engaging in sex acts. Trump pardoned him.
70% of sex trafficking victims around the world are from Asia and the Pacific Islands.
Asian women are the most objectified and fetishized of all the races. All Asian women have had men say inappropriate sexual things to them where their race is as much of a factor as their gender.
It is also as important to point out the long history America has had with violence and prejudice against Asians since hate crimes against them have gone up 150% over the past year. America’s history of discrimination against Asians started with The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. It was the first significant law restricting immigration into the United States. For 10 years America’s borders were closed to the Chinese because Americans on the West Coast blamed them for their low wages and economic struggles even though the Chinese only made up only .002 % of the nation’s population. Congress passed the exclusion act to maintain white “racial purity” using economics as an excuse. It was extended another 10 years with the passing of the Geary Act. Chinese immigrants who were already here had to live in their own communities (hence the founding of China Towns in major cities) and had to carry special papers to prove their status. If they were caught without documentation they were sentenced to hard labor and deportation, and bail was only an option if the accused was vouched for by a “credible white witness.” In 1902 Chinese immigration was permanently illegal. US citizenship was illegal for anyone from China until 1943.
The Chinese originally came to America during the gold rush to mine in California and build railroads. Even though they were victims of violence they couldn’t get justice because of a 1854 Supreme Court Case, People v. Hall, that ruled that the Chinese, like African Americans and Native Americans, were not allowed to testify in court.
After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor during WWII, President Roosevelt had all of the Japanese in America rounded up and sent to live in camps during the war because they were seen as the enemy. They were forced to leave their homes and businesses. They were taken away and imprisoned without due process by the US government.
Violence and discrimination against Asian Americans is nothing new. It’s just gotten worse.
The latest story about violence against Asian women is happening at the same time that the House voted once AGAIN to reauthorize and update the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which Joe Biden helped draft and sponsor in 1990 when he was a senator. It expired 2 years ago. 172 Republiqans voted no to re-enact it yesterday, but it passed. It’s headed for the Senate now where the Democrats will take it up but they’re unsure of how much support they’ll get from Republiqans because there is a new provision in the bill regarding guns and everybody knows how much Republiqans love guns. They love them almost as much as they hate women.
