In an article published Wednesday (March 24) in the Epoch Times, radio host Dennis Prager said the left has fabricated the Atlanta shooting as a white supremacist crime against Asian-Americans and has launched a massive campaign across the United States to divide communities and incite hatred of America. He believes that “anti-Asianism” is the latest anti-American lie fabricated by the left.
A translation of Prager’s article follows.
If you rely on the New York Times, the Democratic Party or CNN (which are all the same) to understand reality, then you would think that there is now a new manifestation of white supremacy in America: anti-Asianism.
This is a lie whose purpose is to
a) Further demonize America.
b) Further demonize white America.
c) Further divide Americans by race.
d) Reinforce or create the belief among Asian Americans that they are widely hated (and therefore must rely on the government, especially the Democratic Party).
e) To create racial perceptions among Asian Americans, most of whom by far largely consider themselves Americans who just happen to be of Asian descent.
Is there anti-Asianism in America? Of course there is. Racial prejudice is one of the tragedies of humanity. No country is free from the problem of racial prejudice.
However, the only question that the gentle, intelligent or honest person has to ask is: How deep is the prejudice?
The answer is: very, very little in America.
But the left lacks civility, intelligence and honesty. As a result, they continue to publish anti-Asian stories, most of which wildly exaggerate and even lie about the facts.
Let’s start with the shooting in Atlanta last week. In that attack, a 21-year-old white man killed eight people, six of whom were Asian, in an Asian massage parlor.
So far, there is not the slightest evidence that those six murdered Asians were killed because they were of Asian descent. According to investigators who knew the shooter before the shooting and who spoke with him after the shooting, the shooter killed because he suffered from sex addiction. The shooter had been in rehab, and he frequented some or all of the massage parlors where he killed people, which he blamed for his addiction. To this day, there is also no evidence that the killer ever expressed any anti-Asian sentiment on social media or in private.
However, the fake media has characterized the shooting as “anti-Asian” from the beginning.
A typical example is this Los Angeles Times article: “Asian-Americans and their supporters rallied Saturday in California and across the country in response to this week’s shooting in the Atlanta area. The incident claimed the lives of eight people, including six Asian women.”
The lie against the Atlanta incident is part of a larger lie that white supremacist anti-Asianism is prevalent across the country. For example, the Washington Post reported on March 18: “Anti-Asian hate crimes have spiked 150 percent since the start of the plague pandemic, according to a recent study.”
The study, cited by The Washington Post, The New York Times, CNN and other leftist media, came from California State University, San Bernardino. Bernardino (Cal State) University’s Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism. “Anti-Asian Hate Crimes Increase 150%” is from its “Fact Sheet: Anti-Asian Bias in March 2020. According to the report, anti-Asian-American incidents rose from 49 in 2019 to 122 in 2020. Thus, the total number of hate incidents against Asian Americans has increased by 73.
Assuming that there are approximately 330 million Americans and assuming that Americans are responsible for these 122 anti-Asian incidents, this means that 1 in every 2,704,918 Americans is involved in an anti-Asian incident. And these “incidents” also include minor incidents.
According to September 2019 data from the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, blacks commit the largest percentage of violent crimes against Asian Americans. However, the ugly media is not reporting on this.
The New York Times, the vanguard of the left’s mass incitement of hysterical lies, ran an article last week with the headline, “Attacks on Asian Americans cause fear, anxiety and anger to soar.” The subtitle read, “Hate Crimes Involving Asian-American Victims Soared in New York City Last Year.”
Notice the word “spike” and you will see how the New York Times reports the facts.
If one reads down from the headline (which most people don’t), the actual number given in the article is: “The number of hate crimes against Asian-Americans filed by the New York Police Department jumped from three the previous year to 28 in 2020.”
You read that right: the number of incidents “spiked” and “jumped” to 28. In a city of 8.4 million people, including 1 million Asian Americans in 2010, one in 300,000 New Yorkers committed a hate crime against an Asian American, and about one in 36,000 Asian Americans living in New York was the victim of a hate crime. By comparison, the odds of dying in an automobile accident are about 1 in 9,000.
Another article in The New York Times was titled “Bay Area Asian Americans Terrified of Lunar New Year After Attack.” The footage was both graphic and shocking,” the article began. A local television station in January showed a video of a young man who quickly rushed forward and then roughly pushed an 84-year-old man named Vicha Ratanapakdee, who later died, to the ground. He was on a morning walk in San Francisco’s Anza Vista neighborhood.”
The New York Times never revealed the name or race of the perpetrator: Antoine Watson, a 19-year-old black man.
But in “Serial Lies,” the Times denounces “former President Trump (Donald), who often uses racist language to refer to the coronavirus.
Of course, the New York Times does not give examples of Trump’s racist remarks about the coronavirus. As you can guess, blaming the virus on the Chinese Communist government or referring to it as the “China virus” or “Wuhan virus” is considered racist, even though virtually every previous Epidemic was named after its city or region of origin, such as. “Spanish flu”, “Hong Kong flu”, “Ebola virus”, etc.
Meanwhile, the lies of the Atlanta incident and anti-Asian violence continue to grip the nation. The cover of this week’s Time magazine features a portrait of a young Asian woman with the headline, “We Are Not Silent: Confronting the History of Anti-Asian Violence in America.”
This is nothing more than a lie being used by the left to hate America.
