Who are people suspected of laziness because their average family wealth is about a 10th of that of white families? The goal should also be to get those whites to study more hours, marry, save, etc. Listen to the whole speech on YouTube if you have half an hour. Its rich that the progressives who swept the likes of Abraham Lincoln under the rug as dishonorable racists in the school-renaming fiasco are now calling for forgiveness and historical context for a contemporary racist. It doesnt mean that one side is right or wrong. My comment never claimed they werent, nor that they didnt. Im open to being convinced with clear, hard data. Does she not realize that its her way of thinking that is causing the divisiveness? The right wing in San Francisco is rampaging full spectrum, YIMBY, schools, DA, while the passive progressives are busied selling out the citizenry for their nonprofits, screwing grass movement progressive left movements, and parsing faux pas in political class court discourse. On their website they have articles dating as far back as 2017 and 2018 demeaning individuals benefiting from Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) as immoral and irresponsible people, describing members of the LGBTQ community as deviant and invasive to conservative Chinese family values, and even saying that Chinese, along with white people, are victims of affirmative action and arguing that only if African Americans and Hispanic students could humbly learn from the success of the Chinese then they too would reach academic and career success. Most black parents dont believe kids should make the tremendous sacrifices necessary to get into Lowell under the old system, do whatever it takes to get all As, say no to fun, to church, to TV, to family time, to friend time, to video games, to sports, to social media, to get better grades. So when these expectations are repeated to you over and over, you end up complying with these constant demands and end up being a model minority. #condenscendingtwat. Skynyrd donated substantial amount of its 198788 concert tour proceeds to the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis while Collins came up with the Roll For Rock Wheelchair Events and Benefit Concerts in 1988. Stop with the excuses. Or do you have more excuses and whatabouts? Despite no training aside from a few tips from his step-mother and friend, Allen picked up the guitar easily and quickly formed his first band -- The Mods. Isnt there an obligation to provide an excellent education that meets all the students where they are, the ones who struggle and the ones who are ahead? If they do hire a Black or Latino applicant, that is a front that the manager to show fairness in the hiring process. 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. Ive not been a fan of Collins. She works tirelessly to hold SFUSD accountable in implementing these and other important resolutions including the Vietnamese language pathway and a resolution to audit school libraries and ensure representation of Asian American narratives. This exam, which must certainly have had some cultural bias favoring the wealthy, opened the door to a middle class life to anyone willing to put in the work (poor or wealthy) to study and pass the exam. Allison Collins is not a historical person. WebAccording to her Instagram, she says that someone named Les Collins is her father, NOT Allen Collins. Her youngest daughter really resembles Allen. This is spineless, deceitful, and hurtful to all Asians and anyone with an ounce of ethics in their body. All I see are Latino and Afro Latino and children in these dog cages mistreated. Half of the people ranting here are doing so because they have no familiarity with the world of scholarship about race and no willingness to try to understand it, and the other half (like the one youre responding to) are racist wingnuts whove clicked over directly from the Breitbart/NYPost comments section purely for the purpose of posting rambling unreadable screeds about how critical race theory is the devil. Do not denigrate the curiosity, dedication, assiduous work ethic, talent of these Lowell students. Bush famously claimed we could pull yourself up from your own bootstraps which is ridiculous considering how he is propped up by his familys vast generational wealth. I also want to add to Tiffany Cs comment that Colins was also unapologetic today as well. Character was important as evidenced by Martin Luther Kings famous speech. They earned the accolades they get. Sign in with a password below, or sign in using your email. There is no white supremist mentality here just hard work! 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. i am thankful that i can voice my opinion without being told to shut up by know it alls and delusional authorities on issues that concern us all. He was NOT allowed but an Asian man was allowed to go to his wife who was also a fatality. This is not skimming. So when someone uses the term House N*****, instead of getting offended like an over-entitled douche (aka model minority), you ask, why would she say that about Asian people? what exactly is the context behind that? whats the history behind that? Then go look it up, read some books and learn something new to which you can contribute back to the community. Thanks for the great article. Its hard to imagine any elected official or city leader expending political capital and jumping in front of a bullet in an attempt to nuance this especially when Collins has been part of a Board of Education that has embarrassed the city and enraged many of San Franciscos highest-propensity voters. Respectfully disagree with your view. Because this sentence is ignorant and not even wrong its incoherent in about 5 different ways, and the FIRST way its incoherent is that fatty acids do not have genetics; that is terminology that people in medicine apply to other molecules which contain actual genes. It doesnt matter if CRT is the greatest academic field ever devised or pseudointellectual trash; if what you are trying to do is formulate a coherent response to the ideas that Alison Collins actually meant, you need to, yknow, not grossly misunderstand the ideas that Alison Collins actually meant. They cant remove her (as in impeachment), but they are within the rules to remove her as vice chair of the Board and to remove her from all committee assignments. It is racism, it is inflammatory, and it is not appropriate for someone responsible for children she is clearly racist towards. Moving kids around, renaming schools, stripping away academic entry.none of that solves the root cause of the academic failures of certain groups of studentswhich is family values around academic commitment and achievement, high academic standards, no entitlement mentality as if someone owes you anything, and not looking for entitlement and lowering standards to compete. Its a small subset. I should not be feeling what I feel because I do not understand the concept of white supremecy. Dont even try to justify racist, misdirected hate coming from a school board member. It can be perceived as racism. So if the gatekeepers in charge think poorly of you, even if they are in fact wrong, you will not achieve success. And as the Black and brown populations threatened to politically overwhelm white supremacy, Asians began to be included in the functional definition of white under the model minority myth in the 80/90s while the door was slammed shut by the aging white former majority on the emerging rainbow minority here in CA via Prop 13 with implications for public schools. Maybe there wasnt tutoring at school? There has NEVER EVER been an instance where kids are purposely excluded from any programs or resources at either school. She doesnt want black kids to sacrifice and read summers and learn. You and others are reacting to a comment that wasnt even meant for them lol Theres no excuse for discrimination and being a racist! Latino kids went from 7 to 12% over 10 years based on increased study hours. Obama got elected by saying any man who abandons his kids and doesnt marry the pregnant mother of his kids and try to be the best dad he can be and help teach his kids is a lowlife, and you can never be so poor you can watch TV with your kids but cant possibly study. No, this is dumb. Dont step on the backs of Black people and look down on us while youre getting ahead. 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. Rather, parents want to have their children rewarded for excelling in school. Humility is important. What does the data say? Collins and Ronnie co-wrote several hit songs for Skynyrd including Gimme Three Steps (1973), Free Bird (1974) and That Smell (1977). It is trivially easy to find evidence that these biases exist I dont even have to leave any of the comment threads discussing Collinss tweets to find it! I dont think they are comparable at all. Opening the Who tour. I never heard Trump DENIGRATE a race. Unfortunately, I doubt anyone is really going to take him and his friends seriously. Acknowledge the vast majority of violence against Asians in San Francisco and Oakland has come from the African American minority, and stop blaming Trump voters for all anti-Asian violence. Yall really need to learn nuance. Her main mistake is that she cant get over her own ego. In saying this, if any culture works really hard they should be able to succeed, get ahead and have the American dream. You know Tiff when whites say and holler that there are too many Asians in the UC university system I dont hear too many asians opening their mouth the silence is deafeningoops cant disagree with god. Jim, she was not referencing Malcolm X. They also, coincidentally, just purchased a new car for $40,000. It marked his last performance with Skynyrd. Times were very difficult since Allen's musical career barely brought in enough to support the young family. Get study hours equal and income will follow. Absolutely not. During the immigration process and for the record, Blacks and Latinos have NEVER been afforded the privilege of choosing an American Name in addition to their legal name. But do we want to fire everyone who messes up? Has Zhou been forced to resign from any city position or banned from any future political runnings, I think not. You know why they bury regular fans 6 deep but bury Dodgers fans 10 under? 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). If you study equal hours, you can claim you are no lazier. Not one peep. Anyone defending and accepting this type of behavior and standing behind her ( Gabriela Lpez) must be removed! Who makes the plaid blue coat Jesse stone wears in Sea Change? This is an experience we share with a number of prominent San Francisco leaders, including Asian Americans who had supported Collins in 2018. We picked fruits in the summer, ironed clothes on the side and cleaned homes on the weekends for extra income. 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. And Collins soon gave them little reason to be. Please dont buy into the idea that this is a one-time error in judgement. Carter called an era in his presidency as a great malaise. been blessed with the opportunities afforded me to attain the american dream. Lam was there to support. So what happens? somewhere that Amie is living in South Carolina, but no one seems Despite all of these comments, she isnt going anywhere.
