She dismissed Triple Package as white supremacist. My opinion is it does more harm to my community as it allows for mediocrity and leaves my community less informed, less educated, and not able to elevate themselves without some kind of outside assistance. They are more moral, and more moral than whites, on average, based on study hours, out of wedlock births, savings rates, work hours, etc. Who is using White Supremacy to assimilate and get ahead now? By the way, the school that Collins sends her daughters to- Ruth Asawa School of the Arts admits students by auditions. The Stud, W. H.

So, they didnt kill me and settled for taking control of the SF Sentinel and banning me. beaten? Its not racist to note that Asian kids study more. Times were very difficult since Allen's musical career barely brought in enough to support the young family. Aside from the most unredeemably racist name changes, weve seen Collins focused on therapy for SFUSD students, to signal Board support and shield them from pain, but which does little to stop the reproduction of white supremacy. The systems and structures of power, the institutions that combine to reinforce white supremacy, have long controlled and enforced the constructed definition of whiteness. I received a class A education throughout my life yet I was in the dark on much of it until this past year. If she wanted to make progress, she wouldnt spend all her time on cosmetic BS and put together after school and tutoring support for inner city students, build programs that pair mentors (e.g. We had enough of being the scapegoats.

After several years of recovery, the crash survivors felt the time was right for another try. This is not Whats up my Ni**as. Asians just shut up, get to work and make that money. It also isnt lost on me that the people speaking of AAIP people often are not speak for darker skin vietnamese, filipina or other non East Asian groups that also work hard and want to achieve American dream but still are looked at manual labor. If someone thoughtfully disagrees with your position it does not make them a racist. What are the disadvantages of a clapper bridge? Calling everyone not with you racist lol this proves you are a friend of Collins, thats what she did exactly in our school board meeting. alison tried to openly shame her perceived asian enemies/competitors, but it backfired. The solidarity among San Franciscos political class in calling for school board vice president Alison Collins to resign is stunning in its damn-near unanimity. Do you need to re-take the Diversity and Respect class? Ronnie Van Zant, Bob Burns, and Gary Rossington decided to form a band in 1964. This has become a litmus test of sorts. Privacy Policy. Being a house n****r is still being a n****r. Youre still considered the help., Jenny Lam, the only Chinese American school board member in San Franciscos heavily Asian school district, told me she felt the tweets played into generalizations that for a group of people, Asian Americans, if you want to get ahead, youre supporting white supremacy., Norman Yee, a former president of both the Board of Supervisors and Board of Education, felt that Collins call-out of Asians for not being vocal played into longstanding stereotypes of Asians as docile and passive. I personally would prefer a line of teaching that still teaches the inequities and bias, but builds ppl up to unite not marginalize, but I digress. We are fed up with her discrimination! Maybe guardians that had to work a lot and couldnt help with school work or didnt have the skills to help? Yeah, so some kind of accident happens to one of the kids. Sadly, this is politics 101 today in our divided society. Collins is anti Asian as seen through her tweets and her actions. The only thing is that Alison Collins didnt have a sympathetic audience or fans, she only had Twitter. Collins must go, she has no ability to serve SFUSD as a leader. Interesting how Lauter echoes the Israeli disdain for existing populations and their ongoing oppression with his support of local relatively recent (compared to Blacks) migrants by choice and their descendants over the descendants of chattel slaves who capitalized the nation and have been consistently, summarily disenfranchised. Things were looking up for Collins. Yall really need to learn nuance. If you participate in one of the public schools board meetings, you will know she gave no one a chance. Its antiracism to note if blacks studies as much as even low income Asians, racial inequality would end quickly. She can go ahead with her threat and try to deport us! No, we dont. https://twitter.com/AliMCollins/status/896836910961745920?s=20. His passion for cars, particularly race cars developed in his childhood and lasted all through his life. We have to think about how different communities learn and the different biases. She punished thousands of people at Lowell for this. And she did not say all Asians. Would this justify an Asian parent casting hateful racial slurs at all black students, parents and teachers? Feel free to check it out, its on NBC news. So to the Asians that were able to rise above and make it into a merit based school, Alison Collins does NOT LIKE IT. But Collins protestations that her comments were being taken out of context befuddled the Asian Americans who subsequently reached out to her (as did her apology not for what she said, but for how it was received). second daughter is Allison who was born in 1973 or 1974. His second daughter is Allison who was born in 1973 or 1974. 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. Notes for ALLEN COLLINS: Allen was enumerated with 6 "free persons of color" in the 1830 Hawkins Co., TN Census. Nope. Lowell gave a reward for hard work. 30% could at least get all Bs, which means they are trying hard but maybe not working as hard as they could be, but were at least a decent human being and student. She called it an incident. As a now-elected official, Collins might have benefited by clearly acknowledging that her past tweets have caused pain by generalizing a very diverse community. I would add to my previous comment not only benefitting from the model minority myth, but not realizing the way in which it harms us (Asian Americans). Ali calls people racist all the time. Now, more than ever, both sides need to come together, stand together, listen together, and heal together. AIPACs magnitude is indicative of the scale of the crimes.. Do you think people went-oh theyre black(NEXT) like that? To quote Kierkegaard, once you label me you negate me. And, that would be a correct assumption. However, what people accusing Asians of anti blackness fail to realize is that there is context on the other side of the equation too, whether thats seeing mobs during the Rodney King riots target Asian stores for the crimes of a white judicial system or the day-to-day casual aggression from our neighbors. Maybe Commissioner Collins deserves the same opportunity be given credit for what she has done and to work with others to learn from past mistakes. The band existed till 1984. Do I hate all races because a small subset of them said derogatory slurs to me? Collins put down entire generations of hard working immigrant Asians who came to this country, worked hard, and sacrificed for their children while emphasizing education when they couldnt even help their children.

I dont waste my time twittering, so I never saw an twitted death threats. 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? But I would not be offended if Collins commentary was directed toward many South Asians. But at the same time, the house negro status is a precarious one subject to the masters whims. It is the fairest and purest form of meritocracy there is. As Americans, we are so wholly UNAWARE of the true history of this nation and the very purposeful barriers put in place to keep Black Americans down. The accident killed three band members, Ronnie, Steve Gaines, and Cassie Gaines while Collins suffered two broken vertebrae in his neck and serious damage in his right arm. I dont say that from a high horse perspective. Skynyrd received international recognition for popularizing Southern rock genre during the 1970s.

This is not prestige based on skimming. To add insult to injury, The Chinese American Alliance sent out a message titled Comrades dont stay silent and support San Francisco mayoral candidate Ellen Lee Zhou, in which it trashed San Francisco and asked for donations and support for her campaign.

Im not any of those things, nor am I a Republican, and I agree with himdid you look at the research they did? Read Triple Package. Has Collins made one peep about that private school at taxpayers expense? I should not be feeling what I feel because I do not understand the concept of white supremecy. America is a great nation most want to move to and a land of opportunity in the present. But it was also a political miscalculation. Humility in knowing that I aint all that, that you dont know it all and that your successes in life were the result of others helping you out along the way. Then it all fell away at 6000 feet above a Mississippi swamp. This is just more evidence they need to come out of their cloistered bubbles and actually listen to people. Have you made one peep about the racist SOTA? Just imagine someone said that about your race. After several years of practicing, performing and personnel changes, Skynyrd, like any decent group of fledgling rock stars, started gigging the notorious one-nighters. Students of Japanese ancestry can score less than someone of Chinese ancestry. You should be just as ready to call out racism from your friends as your enemies. You said it- most asian americans do not harbor anti-black feelings. Furthermore, we want to highlight and remember how API and Black communities have historically and are currently working together in solidarity with each other against white racism. Her inflammatory and divisive rhetoric is intentional. Maybe no wifi at home? Our meeting ended when I said, Sam, were Israel not committing crimes, there would be no need for AIPAC. Showing respect for and listening to the perspectives of others will often lead to progress which is good for everyone. I want more black and Latino kids at Lowell. The problem with her Tweets is that we are now in 2021, not 2016. Everyone needs to go through some type of adversity to succeed. His asst principal is an Asian immigrant and when he explains that someone was not insulting her, they were just using an idiom. Thats different. As soon as she had saved enough money, she surprised Allen by taking him down to Sears and ordered his first Silvertone guitar and amplifier. He was born in Jacksonville, Florida. Your email address will not be published. I find her Trump condemnation strangely tone-deaf. Asians pay theirs. You are as much if a white supremacist as Trumps followers, except they come in wolfs clothing. Youre wasting your breath, Im afraid. Josephine Zhao apologized and dropped out after her comments were reported. The model minority was made official in 1966 by UC Berkeley sociologist William Petersen PhD with articles in Time magazine and US News and World Report comparing orientals with problem minorities (Black folks like MLK). The harder one works, the more success a person can achieve. i am proud to be an advocate for children, pediatrician, educator. If the esteemed doctor is going to start popping off while cluelessly not understanding the meanings of the words shes criticizing (because shes too ignorant/lazy to familiarize herself with the world that Collins comes from), well, thats her right, but she sounds like a fool. And they veered into places that many Asian Americans I spoke to felt were, if not racist, still harmful playing into longstanding stereotypes about Asian Americans in a casually broad and reckless way. Adams ruins everything. So, where was I before I went for another gummie? Whats even more sickening is that Zhou still holds her position with the California Civil Grand Juror Association as director of public relations and is a behavioral health clinician (sounds like Zhou is in need of behavioral health therapy herself). The opportunistic targeting of Commissioner Collins distracts from the national conversation around addressing Anti-API and Anti-Black hate. Ask these families if they would rather, in this situation, if they had the choice, A. have Lowell become a lottery school just as their child enters 7th or 8th grade, ruining their plans or B. have a criminal push them out of their vehicle or use a weapon and steal their brand new car from them, even assuming they had no insurance. (Claiming that Lowell or charter schools cream the best students isnt a knock on the STUDENTS; its a knock on the claim that the SCHOOLS are what make these students elite. That if we do not unite in solidarity (Black, Asian, Hispanic), we all remain n-words. Thats exactly what the racist Allison Collins did. Good luck and good bye. Just not Allison Collins. A very large part of the argument that SF needs a purely merit-based elite magnet high school rests on the assumption that while Lowell students might only negligibly more prepared for college than they would be excelling at Balboa or wherever, the prestige of the Lowell brand is what gets these kids into better colleges than they otherwise would get into. We know exactly why Lowell and not SOTA. Thanks so much for writing what you did, you are so right. We need to realize that the term Asian American includes a diverse group of people, while some of us are thriving in terms of educational obtainment and accumulation of wealth, not all of us are.

Personal tragedy struck again on January 29, 1986 when Collins new Ford Thunderbird crashed into a ditch. Kicked by such songs as 'Getaway" and 'Don't Misunderstand Me' the album sold more than a million copies and the band toured to enthusiastic, sellout crowds. The trauma led to drugs. Their racism is in pursuit of a greater good so if you dont like their racism, its because you are racist. Most Asian parents do, or at least a higher percentage. When they got rid of 8th grade algebra in SFUSD 7 years ago the big claim was it would help black and Latino kids by not making them feel bad. Realizing any singer would be faced with inevitable comparisons with Ronnie VanZant, Allen and Gary chose Dale Krantz, a gutsy, whiskey-voiced female backup singer from .38 Special.
