SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Asian-American leaders are calling on a weekly newspaper to apologize and cut ties with a writer who penned a column titled "Why I Hate Blacks."
In the piece, which appeared in the February 23 edition of San Francisco-based AsianWeek, contributor Kenneth Eng lists reasons why he supports discrimination against blacks, writing, among other things, "I would argue that blacks are weak-willed. They are the only race that has been enslaved for 300 years."
An official at the nationally circulated paper apologized and called the column's publication a mistake.
Leaders at the Asian American Justice Center, Chinese for Affirmative Action, Coalition for Asian Pacific Americans and other groups are circulating a petition denouncing the piece as "irresponsible journalism, blatantly racist, replete with stereotypes, and deeply hurtful to African Americans."
The petition calls on AsianWeek to cut ties with Eng, issue an apology, print an editorial refuting the column, and fire or demote the editors who published it.
"Something like this should never have been printed," said Vincent Eng, deputy director of the Asian American Justice Center in Washington, who is not related to the columnist. "Deliberate action needs to be taken to make sure this type of hate speech doesn't continue."

Weren't the Jews enslaved for over 300 years by Egypt, and then several decades more by Babylon?
So was your sister forced to take down the cameras or what?
Islam freed slaves who converted. That was one of its greatest appeals and recruiting tools. It also absolved debts of converts.
Modest little bastard, isn't he?
Dennis Miller said that all Asians are gay.
Like Darfur?
Read his blog about how he considers all religious people to be inferior.

In Darfur Islamics are attacking Christians and animists. It is them who are being enslaved not Islamics.
But I was speaking more of the first decades of Islamic growth and conquest.
True, but in this case, converting to Islam was the equivalent of changing slavemasters.
Actually, they're attacking black Africans who are Muslims as well. Mohammed was an Arab, and Islam was essentially a bizarre cult that served as a pan-Arabist movement to assert Arab superiority after the collapse of the Roman Empire. Arabs were always nomadic goat-herders and robbers, and not very important in the ME, which had many sophisticated cultures; but one thing that Arabs were was war-like, and Islam gave them the "justification" and unity to enslave the entire rest of the ME. It is still an Arab superiority movement, no matter how many Pakis, American blacks, SE Asians, etc. it may have. Pity they're too dumb to realize this.
Man, after reading that I have to think this guy is just a maladjusted 12-year-old.
In fact, they are enslaving Muslims there, saying that they are "obed" which curiously means black and slave all in one. Such is Islam's 'sacred" ummah!
Asian Week's apology over the black column. Note they never felt the need to apologize for his previous anti-white columns, nor did anyone else notice them, but then the whole "anti-racism" thing is a genocidal hate fraud aimed only at whites, and the refusal to acknowledge that fact is the reason why conservatism is failing.
I have not heard of that. You will not find me saying there is ANYTHING in Islam which is sacred or holy. It is crap through and through.
This would be big news if the New York Post ran it!!!
I think they mainly enslaved Christians, Jews, Blacks, etc. Without a doubt, they still do.
