“The media had run a campaign against the police and against the Korean community for 6 months before the they started.”
When it was over, Koreans demonstrated at city hall. City workers (black) threw garbage out the windows on them. Mayor Bradley (black) apologized, but would not meet with the Koreans.
Korean businesses which were hired to help with the rebuilding were pelted by blacks and sometimes run off a job site.
Maxine Waters in so many words (in her inimitable fashion) called for Koreans to be killed.
About Rodney King? No, it was a race-riot against the new immigrants from Asia.
The riots shattered my illusions of our country. It was pure horror. I love America. I despise those who treat it like their toilet. It took California a very short time to be destroyed by Liberalism.
This is the first time that I heard there was a conspiracy against Koreans and Asians in general especially in the era of the riots. Bradley was a POS and Waters is pure scum.The media whores in a perfect world should have had their helicopters shot down. They wanted LA to burn and the more violence (to non-Blacks) the better.
Why is it that Asians, including those on the East Coast still vote primarily liberal?
Thank you Ms. Parker.
At the time I had no racial animosity against specific friends. Career moves required geographic moves and without noticing I just had less and less to do with blacks. I never specifically tried to avoid them the world just changed around me. Honestly it was only recently I paused and realized that while 30 years ago I knew several blacks pretty well and very closely over the years that number has gone to zero without my particularly trying. Things happened concurrently. I can’t help but wonder if this isn’t true for many of us of either race. Maybe it is just my age group.
I never made any conscious effort to avoid blacks it is just after seeing what happened to Reginald Denny I saw a risk that I had not previously. I can’t say exactly why but the fact remains. 30 years ago my wife and I attended the birthday party of my closest friend in North Philly without even giving race a thought and of the 30 folks there we were the only whites. It didn’t occur to me because at that time I didn’t want to “see” race. I thought it curious that some of his older family members didn’t want us white people there. At the time I felt that what we were doing was required to put an end to racism. I guess after Reginal Denny I just didn’t care enough about ending racism to put in any effort.
I began to realize that conservatism did not equal racism and that true conservatism was the antithesis of racism but the world changed around me, it seems to me. As I didn’t make the effort, neither did blacks and we have gradually become more segregated than we were 30 years ago.
I believe the rioters left the SK shop owners after they proved they would defend their stores.
Talked with a GSP friend afterwards. They indicate the same observation you saw. It was planned. Person said people had been brought in for the riot.
> Why is it that Asians, including those on the East Coast still vote primarily liberal?
Because Asians vote for winners while conservatives just keep on losing. This is why people need to actually fight the left rather than talk about principles an the alike. Make allies and take it them and be just as unfair to them as they are to you. Once you start winning people get on board.
that Derbyshire piece perfectly crystalizes my thoughts on the entire subject...
The Koreans protected their businesses in the LA riots too.
.
Ping.
“”The Koreans banded together with rifles and protected their shops from rooftops.””
There wasn’t any shortage of coverage of the Koreans protecting their properties during the L. A. riots. Lived in OC at the time and coverage was non stop. The recent History Channel report on the 25th anniversary was quite good and accurate.
I don’t know about Katrina as someone mentioned. All I recall from that coverage were the people stranded on their rooftops...
“”The Media and other powers planed riots in advance.””
That is one fanciful pipe dream. The hostility between the Asian communities and the blacks had raged for years. The actual video of the Korean shopkeeper (who went on trial) and the black girl with the bottle of orange juice was shown on the History Channel’s 25th Anniversary report a few nights ago and didn’t bear any relation to what you described. The girl put the OJ down and was walking away after she hit the shopkeeper; she didn’t bang the woman’s head on the counter several times.

You didn’t see the entire tape. The punch was the last act after having slammed her head multiple times. It was a lengthy assault where the girl returned more than once before she was shot walking away. The media always lies.
‘fairytale’
out of the hundreds of businesses on the 4 commerical streets in question ( Broadway, 4th, 7th, and Anaheim ) only one had shooters on the roof defending their property. So you are correct in some way.
I was there and saw it first hand.
My office was on 410 St. Louis.
And...
...bang, Bang, BANG!! will usually stop or at least slow them down.
