Eliot called: Objective Correlative which is the writers tool in choosing the most accurate word or phrase to capture a person, place or thing or event . There is at least equal African American racism against Asians and NO ONE would defend an Asian saying about African Americans what Collins said about Asians. Theres nothing meaningful about Lowell.

However, then she started stereotyping an entire community as being less than woke. She referenced Trump, no political figure in this country can get away with what Trump does. get by effectively getting rid of its nationally renowned public college prep school. Black people do have to do exactly what Asians did to be successful. The Rossington-Collins Band debuted in June 1980 with the Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere album. There was the vote to rename 44 schools despite provably shoddy historical research, an arbitrary and sloppy process from the renaming committee and despite the fact all the schools are closed. She should step down for being a terrible educator. It is clear Asians and Nigerians make more effort than black kids on a daily basis, and much is by choice. Theory #3 is effort. Collins is completely one-sided in her view of anti-Blackness among Asians. It was surprising to me that one responder accused him of making it all about himself, when I thought he stepped outside of his own experience to see what Alison Collins was trying to say. Any valid point made is going to be torpedo by calling someone a bozo, that they need to read a book or dropping references to demonstrate being cultured in the Arts. That if we do not unite in solidarity (Black, Asian, Hispanic), we all remain n-words. Do you understand how racist your assumption is? I received a class A education throughout my life yet I was in the dark on much of it until this past year.

Learn to live with empathy and compassion. Jim, you need to stop. i hope her Maybe they learn the valuable skill of mentoring their more-average classmates, and maybe this experience also affords more opportunities for them to thoroughly master the material themselves. If you really want equality, never, ever use private school, period. She wasnt providing a nuanced perspective on race relations based on Malcolm Xs speech, she was slandering another race. I want more black and Latino kids at Lowell. And why we are at it, does anyone deny that the predominate racial groups attacking Asians and motivated by anti-Asian bias are clearly non-White.dare I say African-American.by and large? It assumes we secretly are attempting to maintain white supremacy and using Asians as pawns in an evil plot. Then it all fell away at 6000 feet above a Mississippi swamp. I think you are wrong, I think putting what she said in historical reference makes the whole house n***** reference make a lot more reasonable.

I never heard Trump DENIGRATE a race. Lowell gave a reward for hard work. What are the two applications of bifilar suspension? She make it clear some deserved help and others do not. There are a lot of hurt people and a lot of hurt communities. Asian American kids spend more hours studying than white or other ethnicities of kids, a completely factual statement, and that we need to try to increase the study hours of others to close the achievement gap. So what is the model thats being modeled in the model minority? Is that going to fix things? Shes unapologetic and she probably doesnt want another chance. I will give you an example: Lets take a sport like volleyball and pretend that Americans wished to transform the sport to be more inclusive and diverse by eliminating merit based admissions (no need to count the scores, it will make the kids who are not good at it feel bad).

It was interrupted when white supremacists imprisoned them in the Topaz, Utah concentration camp. Take that sht to your therapists couch; this discussion isnt about the merits of various CRT ideas. Commissioner Jenny Lam has spoken up in support if students best interests and us aligned with you on these issues. Black people have been beaten, battered and abused in this country, both literally and figuratively, for centuriesput at great disadvantage through written laws up until the 1970s and through unwritten practice til present dayand when a good portion of their communities dont thrive, we blame their lack of work ethic! They are proving Collinss point about anti-black biases with an absolutely amazing lack of self-awareness. Its the truth that hurts. You mean scholars like Ibram Kendi and Robin DAngelo? If they do hire a Black or Latino applicant, that is a front that the manager to show fairness in the hiring process. He could use his arms and hands limitedly. Asians are model minorities which is a euphemism for house negro. I also want to compliment Korbi Ghosh on the April 9 piece he wrote the sentiment, the logic, the depth of his expression was really encouraging. I mean some people are just jumping on the bandwagon but reasonable people will realize she was referencing Malcolm X and have more sympathy for the context.. Years after Collins death, on March 13, 2006, Skynyrd was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Collins married Kathy Evelyn Johns on October 10, 1970 with whom he had two daughters, Amy and Allison. Kathy had a fatal haemorrhage during miscarriage of the couples third child in 1980. That shouldnt stop anyone from calling it out where it does exist, but the essential point here is that she implicated an entire community in this harmful characterization based solely on their race. Their racism is in pursuit of a greater good so if you dont like their racism, its because you are racist. Is Allison Collins from The Allison Collins Band Allen Collins daughter? I wonder if thats an actual genetic rather than learned trait. They do this: study way more hours, emphasize education to their kids, marry and stay married, work, study summers, focus on grades and test scores and what really matters most, avoid drugs. She clearly resents Asian Americans for believing in the American Dream and working harder, on average, than the average America. Your mother was the founder of AIPAC, no? I looked forward to learning more about some of the obscure names (and fully agreed with renaming the most high-profile problematic names). Minority businesses in big cities thrived. She said simply (and I will never forget it because it keeps being so true) well, you know theyre really rather stupid, and that always catches up to them.. Call for the arrest of those who destroyed the statues in Golden Gate Park and spraypainted Kill Whitey, and help police track them down and make a citizens arrest (I am 90% sure the person who did this was white, but whatever race they are they should do 10 years in prison for destroying those statues). Collins is still alive and could actually make amends for past harm, unlike the guy whos standing on the dead Indian in that apparently progressive mural inside Washington High. Her career, public or otherwise, would be ruined. She called it an incident. But that has no bearing on the larger systems and structures of power at play in this regard. I have friends of all races. Take out of context, nuance, need to read Malcom X, blah, blah, blah. One woman should not stand in the way of solidarity, and Alison Collins needs to recognize that and resign. 1826. He was 37 years old. I am joining the conversation many months late, but I want to remind everyone that harm to any one is harm to all. This is what Collins is pointing out. In 1973, however, things finally started coming together for Lynyrd Skynyrd. Im not any of those things, nor am I a Republican, and I agree with himdid you look at the research they did? Failure to fall into line and call for Collins to go could be weaponized further against an elected official, as it was in the case of Ross Mirkarimi. Collins has been judged guilty of using currently non-PC correlatives in her vernacular. 5. If she were really sorry shed reverse making Lowell Lottery, renaming 44 schools and not reopening, and ending honors and 8th grade algebra. You have to use the scientific method. How does she draw this conclusion? I *am* saying that if someone is clearly using words the way theyre used in that field, you cant just go obliviously wandering into a discussion and insisting that they used them with some other definition thats the only one you, a dilettante, understand, and then whining about it whenever somebody correctly points out that you literally do not know what you are talking about. There is no white supremist mentality here just hard work! Many Asian Am. I am a first generation American of South Asian descent by way of my father. Getting a job requires an employer to give you a benefit of a doubt at some point. ^^ Dino, thats incorrect. She should read Triple Package. Sam Lauter was former SF AIPAC chief and has been a corporate lobbyist and campaign consultant for candidates and measures that that repeatedly and successfully targeted Black and brown communities in San Francisco for exploitation by conservative Democrats on behalf of their speculator clients for decades. Collins uses this type of inflammatory rhetoric constantly. Students of Japanese ancestry can score less than someone of Chinese ancestry. Please, do just that. While her views may be different, her tactics are ironically the same as Trump. The Lowell hot mic incident back in October where she called those in attendance racist is just one of many examples where Collins has used inflammatory language. For her, to pander and hope Sadly, this is politics 101 today in our divided society. This article hits it on the head bc Collins has no defense for her broad stroke generalizations of the entire Asian community that are contrary to one of the first fundamental understandings of crit: no person has a single, easily stated, unitary identity. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/29/us/san-francisco-schools-racism.html?searchResultPosition=3, https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/04/19/524571669/model-minority-myth-again-used-as-a-racial-wedge-between-asians-and-blacks, https://www.sfusd.edu/about-sfusd/board-education/board-education-meetings/2021-board-education-meeting-documents-archive, Dorsey slammed for proposal to change citys Sanctuary policy, Study finds racial disparities in deactivated Uber and Lyft drivers, Michael Moritz's strange and terrible diagnosis of San Francisco, Mission Moves: New affordable-housing funds just dropped, Dorsey slammed for proposal to change city's Sanctuary policy, End of an error: The Chronicle at last spikes Willie Brown's indefensible column, SF to close workers' idle healthcare benefit accounts and pocket the funds, Proudly powered by Newspack by Automattic. Collins is absolutely right about us benefiting from this model minority myth! They want to destroy their opposition in every way. This brings up another parable of the pot calling the kettle black. Absolutely! Latino kids went from 7 to 12% over 10 years based on increased study hours. Were all in this together but we no longer have the ability to discuss issues without hurt feelings, name calling and attempts to cancel each other. How did you use the result to determine who walked fastest and slowest? Look at it, it wasnt a Klan poster, it was a few guys in earrings who were rappers and Obama saying I dont talk to Michelle no mo and no black scientists or authors. If you participate in one of the public schools board meetings, you will know she gave no one a chance. Jesus; black people are not keeping you down; fuck. I know theres a lot of passion here but we defeat the whole purpose of this dialogue by going off on each other, because that will create deeper division and this will continue to happen. If you take away the ability to consider ethnic groups, you dont notice that and are back to just saying some individuals are unique, everyone be their own star. We have to understand the contextcalling someone a house n for doing well in school and getting in to lowell and then to UC and then getting a great job is a gross distortion of what malcolm x was talking about(because he was speaking specifically about blacks).using the model minority concept and equating it to house ns makes sense only if you feel all minorities must side with certain political and racial ideologies.her entire folly is to assume that asian people must submit and further woke agendas, and if they dont they are siding with white supremacy.Malcolm spoke in the context of independence not in the forced integration and forced equity that the woke mob intends to imposethe collective freakout the bay had because of trump is not an excuse, forced solidarity is not true solidarity.blaming those that mastered the system as siding with the supposed master, and subsequently complicit in the oppression of others is a truely distorted sense of reality.inequity does not racism make just because your woke guru said so. 9. Discussion in 'Music Corner' started by thebeatles67, May 26, 2009. This privilege is NOT afforded to Nigerians, Latinos, Trinidadians, Africans, Iranians but to Asians. She doesnt want black kids to sacrifice and read summers and learn. You are spreading lies. David. But I guess this isnt enough for Collins since they didnt speak up, or become activists, or confront their tormentors, and therefore remained niggers. She seemed to be soliciting negative stories about Asian Americans in order to push her agenda. Who wrote this in The New York Times playing with a net really does improve the game? Please dont buy into the idea that this is a one-time error in judgement. The death threats were sent to an account called SFGAL8, not Collins and Lopez. Her narrow academic use of the term is not widely accepted by the broader public and she knows this. Her lawsuit is incredibly tone deaf. The analogy Anthony makes above is that Trump threw AAPI out on the field by using terms like Chinese Flu. Thats different. So the toasted sandwich kids who have worked hard, who have their OWN set of obstacles not unlike some of the Pasta loving kids, should be punished because they like toasted sandwiches? Here's a little bit about the tragic life of Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist and founding member Allen Collins. Should Asian Americans be proud of their communities, their culture, their hard work and their accomplishments in this country? Never mind about the subject at hand, you want to take the time to school people on YOUR situation and whatever situation Collins has experienced. Test scores show this move didnt help black kids do better, but it did hurt white and Asian kids. Wrong, beneath her, and shes paying now. WebAllen's family grew with the birth of his daughter Amie, followed quickly by Allison. 12. My mom was a poor Chinese immigrant and my dad was was a poor working class White kid. Her main mistake was in not realizing that her audience was ignorant and racist.??? He entered the hospital in September where he passed away on January 23, 1990. Asians believe they worked harder than Black folks. There is prejudice here in San Francisco against communities of color and I can understand how the school board would like to see all kids in San Francisco have the same opportunities. This happens in an unconscious way over a period of time. I will try harder in the future. For instance, if the racist slave owner decides he wants to scapegoat someone for spreading the some Kung-Flu, the house negro will conveniently serve as the whipping boy to which the field negros attention will focused upon and away from the master. This distinction by ethnicity is bizarre to me. You cannot put an entire group on blast when she cites a few incidences. If there's one band that inspired the overused, mildly annoying tradition of yelling "Free Bird" at the encore of random concerts, it's Lynyrd Skynyrd. I find her Trump condemnation strangely tone-deaf. I will tell all of you defending Collins trying to educate your beliefs: you should all be ashamed for hiding behind a progressive idealism but tearing people apart with your divisive words and behavior. Carter called an era in his presidency as a great malaise. The only way to stop being a model minority is to consciously reject it. Those who did speak with Collins told me the calls were one-sided and defensive and they were confused why they had to reach out to Collins and not vice-versa. My comment never claimed they werent, nor that they didnt. sorry for the shame she has brought to her children She also attacked Lowell because a Pakistani American Senior made a slightly awkward poster. In essence she RESIGNED when her anti-trans policies came to light. Anyone whose family has migrated to the US of its own volition, either as refugee or migrant, me included, should not expect a risk free experience as we benefit economically from an economy originally capitalized on slavery. The plane, according to History, was previously passed over by Aerosmith because the plane's crew made them wary. Dont be so lazy. Pasta loving kids should be let in-not based on merit, but based on the fact that they happen to love pasta? Actually, Medium, your comment is uninformed. Empathizing with how others perceive your words. Isnt that the point? Asians need to understand that Collins is not the enemy, She is a friend and ally who pointed out the truth to us. Those of us who are Asian/Pacific Islander ask that our pain not be used as a wedge to further harm or pit API and Black communities against each other by a racist recall effort. I thought a member of the board has to resign or be recalled (which requires 70k signatures, pen on paper). Alison Collins read people for filth! Hey Twitter! began Collins Dec. 4, 2016 tweetstorm.

Initially the band was named My Backyard, then The Noble Five and by 1968 it was called The One Percent before finally zeroing on the name Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1969. People need to stop making generalizations about large groups of people based on their skin color or nationality. Instead, she should demand that elementary and middle schools across SF be as rigorous and if there is an instance where she can prove that asians are given more opportunities in the elementary and middle school where they were able to get an education good enough to pass entrance exams or used white supremacist thoughts and methods to get ahead, then prove it.
