I don't see how some here can call me a liberal.
From my USM email account today:
THE FACULTY AND STAFF OF COLOR ASSOCIATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN MAINE STAND TOGETHER WITH THE ASIAN AMERICAN AND PACIFIC ISLAND COMMUNITY (AAPI) AND DENOUNCE THE VIOLENCE THAT HAS TAKEN THEIR LIFE AND LIBERTY. The recent discriminatory behavior in our own state of MAINE and across the country is unacceptable and must be addressed by our communities and the appropriate authorities. WORK TO END VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN! STAND UP AGAINST HATE! STAND UP FOR LOVE! TALK TO YOUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND PROMOTE PEACE!
The atrocity of the recent hate crimes against the AAPI community must not be discounted. Stop AAPI Hate reported at least 3,800 incidents of anti-Asian violence since March 2020; many other instances go unreported. In addition to the murderous hate crimes in Atlanta, there are hate crimes committed right here in Portland. These acts underlie a harsh truth that we all have to face: racism and xenophobia are very real and extremely dangerous for those who continue to suffer its wrath.
These tragedies are a terrible reminder of the violent and combined impact of white supremacy, misogyny, and patriarchy on Asian women. To speak against anti-Asian racism and xenophobia is also to speak against anti-Blackness and settler-colonialism. White supremacy repeatedly uses race, culture, gender, sexuality, religion, and class to define citizenship. Violence against Asians/Asian American women must be understood at these intersections.
No one should have to live in fear. The systemic entrenchment of white supremacy has to be confronted, dismantled and destroyed. In order to do this effectively, we have to uproot racist and xenophobic policies and tropes, while learning about historical and persisting forms of structural racism and systemic oppression. Antiracism represents new possibilities that can only be strengthened through multiracial movements and solidarity.
To take action, please refer to Stop Asian Hate: What You Can Do To Make a Difference (gofundme.com), STOP AAPI HATE - ACT NOW Additional resource guide here - Stop AAPI Hate: A Resource Guide to Support the Asian-American Community | Playbill
To report an incident or concern about racial bias or discrimination at USM, contact: Dr. Idella Glenn, Associate Vice President, Equity, Inclusion and Community Impact. William M. Johnson, Director of Intercultural Student Engagement.
We, USM’s FSOCA, call on all who care about our country and what it stands for to take action to protect the liberties guaranteed by our Constitution -- for all of us!

Warrior, I don't agree that it's Communist. You should be careful what words you sling around.
I will agree it's drivel though. Someone's trying to drum up allies in the culture wars, and Asians look ripe for the picking, after one mass-murder incident.
There is some latent racism against Asians in the US, but most of the blatant racism is gone.

These folks are trying their hardest to stir up Asian Americans, I don't think it will work out too well for them; The Asians who I know (and I assume most of the rest of them) are way too smart to be baited into that sort of nonsense. At the same time these idiots who are trying to stir the pot want to lump Asian Americans with whites when it comes to college entrance requirements. They don't seem to be able to keep their story straight.
Regarding the murders in Atlanta; liberal policy is responsible for those murders. It is a well known fact that one of the most dangerous businesses to be involved with is human sex trafficking. Liberal policies that turn a blind eye to the plight of these women and sometimes kids, is what is responsible for their deaths, the fact that they were primarily Korean is not the reason the guy murdered them. He is a sociopathic killer.

James, YOU ARE a LIBERAL. You are also a Laywer, which (in my mind), thinks you are smarter then the "rest of us". You are smart enuff to keep most posts about 2nd amendment rights in your discussions to avoid getting banned, even though your beliefs on this forum differ then the vast majority. I really did have hopes for you a year or 2 back being a mis directed fella but..... You are like my father. Die hard Democrat but its old school and can't admit the party has changed. A Democrat that owns guns and has (can't see) what is going on is
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo
You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

Wrong, Bucks--I'm not a Democrat.
I do think I'm right most of the time. So sue me. So does everyone else.

I don’t think the MEGA people are attacking Asians in those Liberal sewers but you can bet the MSM will make it look that way.

Jim That's why you clash with Trump, you both have the same mentality.
