Why I Hate Blacks
Kenneth Eng, Feb 23, 2007
Here is a list of reasons why we should discriminate against blacks, starting from the most obvious down to the least obvious:
• Blacks hate us. Every Asian who has ever come across them knows that they take almost every opportunity to hurl racist remarks at us.
In my experience, I would say about 90 percent of blacks I have met, regardless of age or environment, poke fun at the very sight of an Asian. Furthermore, their activity in the media proves their hatred: Rush Hour, Exit Wounds, Hot 97, etc.• Contrary to media depictions, I would argue that blacks are weak-willed. They are the only race that has been enslaved for 300 years. It’s unbelievable that it took them
that long to fight back. On the other hand, we slaughtered the Russians in the Japanese-Russo War.• 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?
• Blacks don’t get it. I know it’s a blunt and crass comment, but it’s true. When I was in high school, I recall a class debate in which one half of the class was chosen
to defend black slavery and the other half was chosen to defend liberation. Disturbingly, blacks on the prior side viciously defended slavery as well as Christianity. They say if you don’t study history, you’re condemned to repeat it.In high school, I only remember one black student ever attending any of my honors and AP courses. And that student was caught cheating.
It is rather troubling that they are treated as heroes, but then again, whites will do anything to defend them.
I’m actually stunned at this display of hatred and ignorance. Anyone with half a brain could probably figure out that this wouldn’t help Black/Asian relations one iota. (Iota… That’s a word I learned in AP class… Without cheating…) rofl
Wait…did I miss something? Asianweek PUBLISHED a column titled ‘Why I Hate Black People’ and THEN offered an apology?
Why does that seem a bit hollow?
What’s interesting is with higher levels of freedom of speech come the chances of hate literature. Up here we have less freedom of speech as hate literature is illegal. Gina and I’ve had this conversation, how to blaance freedom of speech.
That’s a lie. My best friend is Asian.
I agree the Glacia’s first comment. Obviously an editor had to read this before publishing. Did they think no one outside their readers would find out? More and more I’m hearing about how Asians are racist against whites, blacks and middle easterners.
It’s just all sweeping generalizations, like all stereotypes. I was reading about this guy, and he calls himself an “Asian Supremacist.” Extremism makes me uncomfortable. And as a Black Buddhist who talks to a lot of other Black Buddhists, I know these claims are largely ridiculous.
