Who Will Take A Knee For Asian Business Owners?

[Not to be insensitive: I know taking a knee has taken a whole different meaning following the killing of George Floyd]

And no disrespect to Mr. Floyd.

But as several police chiefs and county sheriffs all over the nation are doing a Colin Kaepernick with those who are peacefully protesting...

Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Neil takes a knee in solidarity with protesters (one of several who have done so)


But the ugly truth is that no one is addressing the violence against small Asian business owners.



We have seen this happen in the past, specifically in the 1992 riots.

Today, 28 years later, another generation of looters, arsonists and opportunists are once again victimizing Asians.

A new generation of Asian business owners, immigrants with the same American dream as all others who came to America hoping to be accepted and looked upon as fellow Americans.

But in the last 100 years, who has ever stood up for them?

Asian Americans continue to experience demeaning stereotyping, prejudice, bullying, discrimination, hate crime, racial violence and property crimes. They are people of color too, just of the wrong color I guess.

But because America is fighting for injustice, it is also now time for malicious people to stop targeting Asians.

For again, mayors, governors and Police Chiefs are letting them down and leaving them to fend for themselves.

So the question again is who will take a knee for them?

Crickets.

Then they will just have to take up matters in to their own hands again.

ANTS UP
