Send us a textRev. Martin Luther King Jr. once said that "Riots are the language of the unheard" and in April of 1992, the black community in Los Angeles felt very unheard. The Previous year in 1991, 25 year old Rodney Glen King had been involved in a high speed chase. Noticing the spot light from a helicopter, Rodney realized that things had quickly gotten out of hand and, ended up pulling off Interstate 201, onto the right hand shoulder of Foothill Blvd. What followed was caught on video, by a nearby resident named George Holliday..... and the world would see one of the most horrific beatings, that did not result in death. By some miracle, Rodney was not killed, but doctors would say that some of his bones had been so pulverized that the looked like grains of sand...13 days after this, a 15 year old black girl named Latasha Harlins, at the request of her grandmother, had gone into a corner store to pick up some orange juice for her and her siblings, Latasha walked walked to the front counter with $2 in hand to pay for the 1.79 orange juice, again, this interaction was caught on film, the store owner seemed to have believed Latasha was going to steal the juice, despite the cash in her hand, after a short but intense interaction with the store owner, Latasha tried to walk away. The store owner would pull out her gun, and end the life of a 15 year old child. When Latasha's killer got off, with community service and a fine, the black community was horrified, and when the 4 officers who beat Rodney, nearly to death, were acquitted, they had had enough, and with in minutes the riots would begin. They would last for 6 days, leaving some neighbourhood, reduced to rubble.This is the case of the 1992 LA Riots.Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

In 1991 the city of LA was a powder keg of racial tension between Korean store owners and members of the black community. The senseless killing of Latasha Harlins, a 15 year old black girl, while trying to buy a $2 bottle of OJ was a turning point for the city. While the store owner was found guilty of a crime, the jury elected to convict her for voluntary manslaughter and the judge sentenced the woman to no time in prison. This verdict combined with the acquittal of the five officers charged in the beating of Rodney King sparked 4-6 days and nights of riots that left 63 people dead and over $1 billion in property damage. Listen along as we discuss some of the crimes, trials, and lack of proper planning by the LAPD that led to the deadly riots. Music by Gioele Fazzeri from Pixabay.

TW for offensive languageIn the early hours of March 3rd, 1992, a police chase ended with officers beating a black man viciously, unaware they were being filmed. When the film was released to the media, it caused immediate backlash. Then, a 15 year old black girl, Latasha Harlins was murdered at a convivence store on March 15th.  When the woman who murdered Latasha received a light sentence with no jail time and the four cops were acquitted in the Rodney King case, Los Angeles erupted in a violent uprising.

TRIGGER WARNING: We will be periodically dedicating an episode to a melanated cold case throughout the season as we hope to shed more light on these stories. In March of 1991, nearly two weeks after the Rodney King beating, LaTasha Harlins lost her life. She was killed by Soon Ja Du, a Korean convenience store owner over the purchase of a bottle of orange juice. Soon Ja Du was convicted and found guilty of voluntary manslaughter and recommended to serve 10 years in state prison by the jury. However, Judge Joyce Karlin decided to give her a lenient sentence of $500 fine, 400 hours of community service, and 5 years of probation with no jail time. Due to the timing of the incident LaTasha's case did not receive the media attention that Rodney King's did. Also, in this episode we decided to speak about the surprising most recent updates in Breonna Taylor's case, how we feel about all the recent discoveries, and our feelings about both of these cases even though they happened nearly 30 years apart.

Day 7 The Address: The Corner of Normandie and Florence The Story: Some call it a riot, recalling when plumes of smoke filled the sky and an anarchist disorder took over the streets. Many others call it an uprising, pointing to the deep sense of injustice that had been left to boil over onto the streets of South Central, LA. What's for sure is that the rebellion that jumped off on the corner of Normandie and Florence, didn't start with the beating of Rodney King. It didn't start with the killing of young Latasha Harlins a few weeks later. It didn't start with the assault of Reginald Denny in response to the acquittal of the corrupt LA police officers. What started there was the results of decades of divestment, neglect, broken infrastructure, and racist policing tactics.

這是2013年8月9號的一集節目。那時有一本新書出版，名為《Latasha Harlins案之爭》。

This week marks the 30th anniversary of the 1992 Los Angeles Riots, also known as the LA Uprising. Before the uprising, tensions in South L.A. were at an all-time high from years of untamed police abuse, gang violence, and strained relations between the Black and Korean American communities. In 1991, a Black teenager named Latasha Harlins was shot and killed by Korean storekeeper Soon Ja Du after she accused Harlins of stealing a bottle of juice. Around the same time, the Black community was also stunned by the video of four white police officers brutally beating Rodney King. A year later, on April 29, 1992, all four officers were acquitted and the Black community of South Los Angeles reached its breaking point. The acquittal set off five days of violence, destruction, and looting, with Koreatown being the main target. Now, 30 years later, several Black and Korean communities are commemorating the anniversary of the riots by reflecting on the past, and moving forward together. This week on Into America, Trymaine Lee speaks with Rodney King's daughter, Lora King, about her relationship with her father and how she's continuing his legacy through the Rodney King Foundation. For a transcript, please visit msnbc.com/intoamerica. Follow and share the show on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, using the handle @intoamericapod.Thoughts?

On April 29, 1992, three LAPD officers were acquitted after brutally beating Rodney King, and a fourth was let off with no verdict. Widespread protests erupted in response, a result of deep-seated anger with police violence and racial inequality in Los Angeles, heightened by the murder of teenager Latasha Harlins a year prior.  Five days later, the city of Los Angeles stood in a shocked, smoldering state with more than sixty people dead, thousands injured, and massive property damage.  Now, thirty years later, we mark this anniversary in the wake of another uprising against police violence and the murders of unarmed Black men and women. How does the 1992 Uprising look after three decades?  Has Los Angeles made any meaningful progress since then? What is the state of race relations, policing, and the pervasive inequities exacerbated by COVID-19? Brenda Stevenson, the inaugural Hillary Rodham Clinton Chair in Women's History at St. John's College, Oxford University and the Nickoll Family Endowed Chair in History at UCLA, and Kent Wong, the director of the UCLA Labor Center, join Then & Now to discuss these questions.

“The original impulse to write a book for this age was knowing that this is a time of identity formation for me, curiosity about the outside world. And I guess I wanted to make an offering in that space … I just wanted to write a book with an Asian American protagonist. And I thought, how cool it would have been for me at that age to see that at the library.” Actor John Cho (Searching, Better Luck Tomorrow, Star Trek, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle) steps into a new role, author, with the publication of Troublemaker, his first book for middle grade readers. John joins us on the show to talk about why he needed to write this book now (it wasn't what he originally pitched to his editor); the legacy of 4/29 in the Korean American community and the murder of Latasha Harlins; his fondness for the Little House series; the elasticity of the English language (and not using italics to call out Korean words) and much more with Poured Over's host, Miwa Messer.   Featured Books: Troublemaker by John Cho The Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder IQ by Joe Ide Your House Will Pay by Steph Cha   Poured Over is hosted and produced by Miwa Messer, edited by David Eitel and mixed by Harry Liang.

Slate's Slow Burn: The LA Riots revolves around the events leading up to the biggest civil disturbance in American history including the police-beating of Rodney King, the killing of 15-year-old Latasha Harlins and racial-ethnic tensions in Los Angeles. Host Joel Anderson joins us to talk about the podcast and legacy of the six-day unrest.

In March 1991, Black people in Los Angeles had seen the videotape of Rodney King being beaten. In November, they'd seen Soon Ja Du sentenced to probation for killing 15-year-old Latasha Harlins. On April 29, 1992, a jury failed to convict the officers who beat King. That was the last straw.  Season 6 of Slow Burn is produced by Joel Anderson, Jayson De Leon, Ethan Brooks, Sophie Summergrad, and Jasmine Ellis.  Mixing by Merritt Jacob.

For years now we have heard philosophers, psychiatrists, psychologists, and political theorists make grand assumptions about the nature of mob violence. Commentary on “the mob” often assumes a natural progression toward chaos that is somehow inherently a part of society, even though such a thing has never been definitively proven. “The mob believes everything it is told, provided only that it be repeated over and over. Provided too that its passions, hatreds, fears are catered to” (Alexandre Koyre). ““Pilate was required to release one of the prisoners, so he gave the mob the choice of Jesus or Barabbas, a notorious murderer and insurrectionist-in otherwords, someone who incites mobs. Again, the mob "spoke with one voice" demanding "with loud shouts" that Jesus be crucified” (Ann Coulter). ““...when like-minded people get together, they often end up thinking a more extreme version of what they thought before they started to talk to one another” (Cass R. Sunstein). Such proclamations are certainly comforting; they make one sleep well at night. “Well,” a panicky person romanticizes, “I'll just stay inside my room then and never interact with others. That will stop the mob from infecting my sacred thoughts.” But locking yourself away from groups will not stop riots, nor will it prevent that mob from potentially lashing out at you. The idea that riotous behavior is contagious, requiring something as simple as one act of violence to enact an entire stream of calamitous behavior, is a misinterpretation of what is actually happening, and so boycotting groups will not protect you from such violence. The calls for less group behavior is counter active to preventing mob behavior for the only thing that prevents mob behavior is complete and total integration and integration requires a commitment to understanding and appreciating others, not barricading yourself behind a wall of books or scratching down some nasty words about the “herd”. It is also important to remember that what is considered violent at any particular moment varies greatly depending upon the society that you are in. I am not justifying violence; I am simply stating that in segregated societies, culture is always king, while the law remains secondary. A society of mostly poor people are not going to care as much about things like theft, especially if the thefts are occurring only at major chain stores and overpriced mansions. Perhaps even more important, those who write the history of events tend to skew reality in order to demonize those who may have acted irrationally for very logical reasons. Was it really irrational for people to riot after witnessing cops being acquitted for the violent beating of Rodney King? Are you even aware that, a few months prior to that beating, a 15 year old girl name Latasha Harlins was murdered by a store owner for attempting to steal an orange and that, though investigators proved she was reaching in her wallet for money to pay for the orange, “liberal” Los Angeles bequeathed that the store owner be fined a mere $500 and never sent him to prison? What is rational to a person who is well taken care of and thus content to be a fully integrated member of society, is insanity to a sequestered people who feel persecuted by the ruling classes because they have been abandoned by that society. So this is not simply “like-minded” people committing violence, but persecuted out groups who lash out at the power structures who have harmed them, whether that be big business, big government or the police. Of course riots do not accomplish tangible goals; they do not feed or clothe people, for example, not in the long term anyway, and so people like me will never be interested in participating in them. But who is to say that the mob's goal is to accomplish anything prudent? Perhaps the emotional response it used to stage a sort of political urgency in the populous. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. theorized “riots are the voice of the unheard”. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/morecontentplease/support

Her name has been overlooked for decades but her senseless murder and the subsequent trial/sentencing (along with Rodney King's) sparked outrage that led to the 1992 LA Riots, but do you know her story?Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/rippedheadlinespod)

In 1991, Latasha Harlins, 15, walked into a convenience store to purchase orange juice for $1.87.  Instead of paying with the $2 she had in her hand, the store owner charged her a higher price: her life. For a list of sources from today's episode and pictures, please visit www.itsthemysteryforme.com/episodes/latasha-harlins

Pt 1: The Latasha Harlins Story 15 year old African American, Latasha Harlins, was shot and killed after being falsely accused of stealing a bottle of orange juice in Los Angeles, California in 1991. Her killer, Korean-born Soon Ja Du, was the convenience store owner of "Empire Liquor Market Deli" and was never imprisoned for the crime, sparking outrage in the US and being one of the reasons behind the LA riots of ‘92. Pt 2: The Horrific Murder of two-year-old, James Bulger And thisssss, our friends, is why we believe in putting kids on leashes… Two year old James Bulger was abducted while with his mother at a shopping mall in the UK in 1992. Turns out, his abductors were actually two 10-year-old boys. You'd think this was best case scenario, right? Not so much. This story takes a horrific turn and will make you second guess EVERYDAMNBODY.

Guest: Natasha Durden Discussion: Natasha connects her personal stories with larger historically significant moments like Rodney King, Latasha Harlins and shares what it means to raise her son in a free society.

The murder of 15-year-old Latasha Harlins by Soon Ja Du, a convenience store owner in 1991 became one of the flashpoints for the LA uprisings the following year. Yet while Latasha’s killing happened just 13 days after the Rodney King beating, her story garnered little lasting attention. On this episode of Intersectionality Matters, Kimberlé sits down with Sophia Nahli Allison, director of the Oscar-nominated documentary short “A Love Song for Natasha” (available on Netflix), to discuss the film, Latasha's story, and the role of art in bringing intersectional stories to life. This episode includes excerpts from the following: - “A Love Song for Latasha” - “LA 92”, a National Geographic documentary - AAPF’s 2017 panel discussion on Latasha Harlins at the Hammer Museum, featuring Priscilla Ocen and Brenda Stevenson Hosted by Kimberlé Crenshaw (@sandylocks)

Sophia Nahli Allison's A LOVE SONG FOR LATASHA righteous rebuttal to the injustice surrounding the shooting death of 15-year-old Latasha Harlins at a South Central Los Angeles store that became a flashpoint for the city's 1992 civil uprising. As the Black community expressed its profound pain in the streets, Latasha's friends and family privately mourned the loss of a vibrant child whose full story was never in the headlines. Three decades later, A LOVE SONG FOR LATASHA removes Latasha from the context of her death and rebuilds an archive of a promising life lost. Oral history and memories from Latasha's best friend and cousin converge in a dreamlike portrait that shows the impact one brief but brilliant life can have. Sophia Nahli Allison grew up in South Central Los Angeles and recalls experiencing the 1992 L.A. riots as a four year-old girl. Though Latasha's death was a catalyst for the riots, Sophia wanted to make a film about Latasha's life so she would be remembered beyond the trauma of a Black body, beyond a statistic, a newspaper headline, or an inaccurate Wikipedia page. Director, producer, cinematographer and editor Sophia Nahli Allison stops by to talk about how a Latasha's legacy should not be judged in terms of longevity or her tragic end, but on the lasting impact that Latasha's kindness, bravery and encouragement continues to have on people's lives.

The beating of Rodney King by police officers took place 30 years ago on this day, March 3, 1991.  It wasn’t until several days later that the world saw the attack which was videotaped by a private citizen and brought the attention of the whole city to the hearing of the four officers involved. After three of the officers were cleared by a mostly white jury, the city ignited into six days of protest and violence.  We look back at the beating and the events that followed.

In this week’s Saturday School episode, in our season exploring Asian American interracial cinema, we look at the 1993 documentary “Sa-I-Gu” by Dai Sil Kim-Gibson, Christine Choy and Elaine Kim, as well as Kim-Gibson’s update 10 years later in 2003’s “Wet Sand: Voices From L.A.” Both films are available to watch for free on YouTube, courtesy of the Korean American Film Festival New York after they hosted a retrospetive of Dai Sil Kim-Gibson films in 2011. A fixture in Asian American studies courses, these films explore the aftermath of the 1992 L.A. riots/uprising/rebellion with a particular focus on Korean American women. “Sa-I-Gu” was filmed only three months after the events, so the tragedies are fresh and feelings are still extremely raw. For us, it was fascinating revisiting the film at this time, because when we recorded, it was also only about three months after the George Floyd protests spread across the country. “Sa-I-Gu” argues that it was the media that unfairly pitted Black and Korean immigrant communities against each other, often showing video of the Rodney King beating by LAPD alongside the killing of Latasha Harlins by a Korean woman convenience store owner. The film shows that Korean immigrants were also victims of white supremacy, and it fights for the legitimacy of a perspective that centers Korean American voices, stories and language. Ten years later, Wet Sands revisits the three main women in “Sa-I-Gu,” and this time around, Dai Sil Kim-Gibson shows the value of getting multiple perspectives in one film, showing variation even within Korean, Black and Latino communities. One of the Latino workers says in Spanish that nothing has really changed, that the inequities are still there and that it’s still a ticking time bomb. After the 1992 uprising, Korean Americans held their own protest with signs that asked for peace, explaining that their life's work was now gone. 28 years later, I covered a protest in Garden Grove, home of Orange County’s Koreatown. This time around, the signs said “Korean Americans for Black Lives,” “Asian Americans for Black Lives." There were Korean Americans protesters who specifically showed up to the Black Lives Matters protests, because this time around, they wanted there to be a different narrative.

On this episode of History of the 90's we look back at the 1992 Los Angeles riots and the various factors that led to the largest and most violent case of civil unrest in United States history. The acquittal of four police officers in connection with the brutal video taped beating of Rodney King wasn’t the only reason people went into the streets of South L.A. looting and burning buildings over a six day period in April 92.  The Black community was also reeling from a judges’ decision not to send a Korean shopkeeper to jail in connection with the shooting death of 15-year-old Latasha Harlins.  Plus, South L.A., which was 50 percent Black in the early 90s was hit hard by unemployment, gang violence and the crack epidemic.  As you’ll hear in this episode. the conditions were ripe for unrest. A note on sources: The information in this podcast about the timeline of events at the intersection of Florence and Normandie was based on reporting in a 1998 article by The Washington Post. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1998/01/26/worlds-collide-at-florence-and-normandie/5bfed605-0da1-4bfd-b69f-bc1cef8b7cc8/ Contact:  Twitter: @1990shistory Facebook: @1990shistory Instagram: @that90spodcast Email:  90s@curiouscast.ca Guest: Brenda Stevenson, Professor of African American Studies at UCLA.

In this episode, Eric sits down with artist and longtime friend Michael Massenburg, for an intimate conversation about what inspired him to become an artist. They discuss his experiences growing up in Los Angeles during the 1965 Watts Rebellion and significant moments that ended up informing his art. They reflect on the untimely death of Sam Cook who's song "A Change Is Gonna Come" became a symbol of the civil rights movement... the Killing of Latasha Harlins, the Rodney King verdict and LA Riots of 1992. Massenburg describes his journey of discovering art and what drives him as an artist. About The ArtistMichael Massenburg was born in San Diego and raised in Los Angeles California. Michael pursued his studies at California State University, Long Beach and Otis School of Art and Design. Massenburg has exhibited in galleries and museums, completed private commissions and worked on public art projects throughout the country and abroad. His list of public artwork clients includes Verizon, MTA Metro, ESPN, American Jazz Museum and the Fabulous Forum. He is also the recipient of various grants, including from the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs and the California Arts Council. Along with his art-making practices, Michael is a teaching artist, community organizer and activist for various organizations and causes.Artist StatementIn this body of work, I want to investigate the language and imagery to explore the issues class, race and culture in their relationship through rituals. In each artwork, I assembled constructions of objects and images in an attempt to engage the subjects through representational, psychological and spiritual perspectives. Elements of decaying and blooming landscapes, earth mapping and the migration of life forms are all visual metaphors for the transformation of the unknown and the profound. Through these varieties of elements, my intention is to speak to the notion of what is the significance of life or the purpose of existence. This is the ongoing conversation that I want the artwork to engage in.

The #Odub hosts pick up, right where they left off last week by taking a trip back in time to  L.A., 1982.

Latasha Harlins was a 15 year old girl that was fatally shot by a Korean store-owner after she was mistaken for stealing a bottle of orange juice. After her killer was not sentenced to do jail time, the 1992 LA riots ensued causing damage to Korean and other ethnic Asian businesses city-wide.Thank you Wikipedia, LA Times and the book “The Contested Murder of Latasha Harlins: Justice, Gender, and the Origins of the LA Riots“ for much of the information found.

Matthew 9:35 -10:8Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. When he saw the crowds he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness.These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother, Andrew; James, son of Zebedee, and his brother, John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, proclaim the good news, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You have received without payment; give without payment. Some of you know – and have asked me about – my time in downtown Indy the last couple of weekends, participating in the peaceful protests for racial justice that have been such a large part of our nation’s life since George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis a few weeks ago. (Notice I said “peaceful protests,” not riots, there’s a distinct and meaningful difference.) Some of what I witnessed at these protests was new to me, in so many ways; and surprising; and worth sharing. I saw lots of signs, of course, and heard all the chants – some so clever they were funny. Some so full of rage, they were unsettling, at times.I saw people carrying gallons of milk on a hot summer day, in case they needed it to wash away the pepper spray or tear gas that are a distinct possibility and a common occurrence when the sun goes down on a protest, as you know.I saw white civilians dressed in camouflage, with automatic weapons strapped across their chests.I was wearing my funny shirt with the clerical collar, which makes many people assume I’m a priest. One guy said, “You don’t see many Catholic priests at these things, Father.” I said, “I’m a Lutheran.” He said, “That makes more sense.” (I took that as a compliment.) I saw police officers doing their job – minding the crowd, even greeting and talking with protesters. I went out of my way to acknowledge them a time or two and they returned the favor. I can’t imagine the fortitude and sense of vocation it takes for the good ones to do their job these days.I saw one white man trying to instigate a group of black protesters, throwing a water bottle at them, trading insults, and calling them a bunch of “N” words.I watched organizers pass around Sharpie markers and sharing the phone number we were instructed to write on our bodies in two different places, should we get arrested and need to be bailed out, if things went sideways or got ugly.I was even ritually “smudged” with sage smoke from a protester who was performing the ritual as an offering of protection and cleansing for those who had gathered.So when I read, in this morning’s Gospel, that when Jesus looked at the crowds back in Galilee, he had compassion for them because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd, I thought about the crowds that gather for protests like the ones taking place these days in our own country and around the world. “…harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd…”I’m not sure why it’s happening now. I’m not sure why these particular deaths – George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Dreasjon Reed, and Ahmaud Arbery, I mean – seem to have sparked an outrage – if not a revolution – that the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Philando Castille, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, Laquan McDonald, Botham Jean, Latasha Harlins, Amadou Diallo, and Emmett Till weren’t able to instigate. I’m not sure what’s different this time around and after so many years. And, sadly, I’m not at all convinced that the change so many of us long for is really going to come as soon or as fully as we would like.But, people of color – especially Black and Indigenous people – in this country, are telling us – and have been telling us for generations – that they indeed feel and have felt harassed and helpless for so long in so many ways. And as followers of Jesus, we are called to be moved – like Jesus was – with compassion for them.And the hard, holy news today is that immediately after his compassion is stirred, Jesus calls upon his disciples to do something about it, acknowledging that the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. There was, there is, there always will be so much work to do, and too often not as many people willing or able or inspired enough to do the heavy lifting. But for those who are ready and willing, Jesus gives the authority to do some amazing things: to cast out demons and to cure every disease and every sickness. And I would contend that the demons and the dis-ease and the sicknesses that need casting out and curing in this day and age, include but are not limited to the likes of prejudice, bigotry, white supremacy, and racism.And yes, I’m talking about George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, and the many others on that list. But I’m talking about things closer to home, too. Like the fact that within the last three years a Black boy at one of our schools was told to go drink from another drinking fountain. Or the fact that my children, and many of yours, have never had a Black teacher. (And neither did I, for that matter, in 20 years of public school, undergraduate university, and seminary education.) And I’m talking about the fact that zero Black people call Cross of Grace Lutheran Church their home. And that one member of our congregation told me once, not long ago, standing in our narthex, without shame, that he called the cops on a young Black man driving through his neighborhood, because “he clearly didn’t belong there.”And as terrifying and as disgusting and as frustrating and as embarrassing as those examples are to share, I find some hope for all of this in today’s Gospel – because of what we heard in last week’s Gospel. See, I listened differently last week to that little ditty we heard from the end of Matthew, Chapter 28, when Jesus said, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always to the end of the age.” “Go…” “All nations.” “…everything I have commanded you.” “Always…to the end of the age.”But at times like this, I am overwhelmed by the scope of that, I have to admit – what we call our “great commission.” It’s all so much, so daunting, and more than I feel ready for or capable of on a lot of days, to be honest.But I am reminded to be relieved, some, by this morning’s Gospel story – earlier in Matthew’s Gospel, Chapters 9 and 10 – where Jesus, in the midst of traveling around his own little neck of the woods in Galilee, calls his disciples together to set them about their mission in the world. Because when Jesus sends the disciples to “the lost sheep of the House of Israel,” as he says it this morning, he’s sending them to share the message and the story and the hard, holy good news of it all with the Jews – with their own people – people they know, people they love perhaps, or at least people they could relate to. “Gather with the ones you know,” he seems to be saying. “Keep it in the family, for now.” “Talk to your own people – friends and family, folks from your own synagogue, in your own neighborhoods, from your own cities and villages and towns. We’ll get to the nations later – somewhere in chapter 28.”And I don’t mean for this to be a cop out. It’s not a sneaky way to suggest we not reach out to people who are different from us. This isn’t me – or Jesus – saying God’s good news is just for people who sound and smell or live or look like me. I am in no way suggesting we limit the scope of our outreach to what is familiar and comfortable and close to home. I’m acknowledging that it all matters, for sure, but that maybe our first steps these days – however small – are meant to lead to something more down the road. Because, the story we are sharing is one of good news and of hope and of grace for all people. The Gospel we are called to tell about is a Gospel meant for the nations, for sure. “Red and Yellow, Black and White, they are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.” There is no denying that. But when it comes to casting out and curing the sins and the sickness of racism and white supremacy and prejudice and bigotry, this is white people’s work. We need to get our own house in order before we can reach the nations, as God intends. This work is for you and me to do for ourselves, with each other, and for the sake of the world. This work is for those of us – myself included – who are blind to and who benefit so much from the systems of inequality that run the world around us.And I know there are plenty who wish I would get off of this soap box. Some of you have told me as much. And I’m sorry, but not so sorry about that right now. There’s a difference between a soap box and a pulpit. And when I stop collecting examples of blatant racism and bigotry from my own, everyday life – or from the lives of my children – in this community and in this congregation and from the church-at-large, I might feel compelled to slow my roll a bit. But the harvest is plentiful. There his so much work to be done. And please hear me when I say I’m learning along the way myself, in more ways than I wish I still need to learn. Which is where I’d like to invite you to join me today – and in the days ahead. Several of you have joined me in Race Relations Dialogue Circles around here over the course of the last few years. (I’m more than a little proud to say it didn’t take a televised lynching to inspire that work for our congregation.) But I would like to broaden the scope of those conversations and of that learning sooner, rather than later, in light of current events.So, in the next couple of weeks I will be inviting us to read some books, watch some documentaries, listen to some podcasts and, of course, to have some conversation and prayer about how we might respond to Jesus’ invitation to love one another, to cast out the evil of racism, to cure the sickness of bigotry, to heal the dis-ease of injustice that plagues our black and brown sisters and brothers and should therefore feel like a plague upon us, just the same.And just like those first disciples were sent, first, to their friends, families, and neighbors with the work Jesus called them to, I hope we will start with what and who we know. Let’s start in our kitchens. Let’s begin in our living rooms. Start something in your son’s car or your daughter’s bedroom. Begin at your own front door – at your office – on your neighbor’s porch. There are people all around us – acquaintances and the best of friends – who have something to learn from and to teach each of us in all of this.That’s what this morning’s Gospel is about for me this time around – doing the work of the Gospel for and with neighbors, family and friends – nothing more and nothing less. Today, Jesus isn’t sending us to the nations just yet. Today, Jesus is calling us to each other – to those we know and to those who know us. “Baby steps,” he seems to be saying, “if that’s still what it takes to begin.” “Share a little bit of yourself. Share a little bit about whatever you know or need to learn with the people close to you, and let’s just see if – finally… finally… finally – where the work of ending racism in our midst is concerned – the good news of great joy and justice and grace for all people will change the world as God intends.” Amen

Steph Cha’s new novel, YOUR HOUSE WILL PAY, is based on the 1991 murder of Latasha Harlins, a fifteen-year-old black girl shot in the back of the head by Korean liquor store owner Soon Ja Du in South Central Los Angeles. The book is a fictionalized portrait of the two families impacted by the tragic murder. Cha, a Korean American writer who grew up in Los Angeles, only really learned about the L.A. Uprising and the fraught history between blacks and Koreans in South Central as an adult. In our interviewed Cha discussed her trepidation in writing a black character as a protagonist and how thankful she was to have her book praised by African American crime novelists Walter Mosley, who grew up in Los Angeles, and Attica Locke. Steph Cha is the author of four novels and is a writer on a new show coming to HBO max, Crime Farm.

Oh, a Korean American, says he gets guidance from the brutal death of his cousin in Philadelphia in 1958. Beaten by black youths, In Ho Oh died, but his family rejected revenge in favor of forgiveness. And it's the third year after the murder of my cousin, Stephen Guillermo. http://aaldef.org/blog/emil-guillermo-trumps-100-days-la-riots-cousins-death-asian-pacific-american-heritage-month-david-da.html   Emil Guillermo: Trump's 100 vs. real anniversaries: the LA riots, a cousin's death, and Asian Pacific American Heritage Month; PODCAST: Will Dao get a tax cut? And more... April 27, 2017 4:44 PM   I guess Dr. David Dao didn't want to drag it out.   He didn't need 100 days. Neither did United. CEO Oscar Munoz continues his apology tour in the media with a new report that heralds changes in service, including an increase in fees from $1,350 to $10,000 for bumped passengers. Dao's settlement amount hasn't been disclosed. Frankly, I would have dragged it out in the media, what with court delays and every story accompanied by the shrieking doctor being treated like a sack of rice. So, good for United. But not necessarily good for the consumer, because now the pressure is off of United to live up to its word. For now, we're left to wonder if Dow will benefit from that Trump Tax plan.   TRUMP'S 100 The obsession over Trump's 100 days is natural. It's a round number check-up, the first benchmark we have to contemplate the big question: Did America make a mistake electing Donald Trump?   But most of us knew the answer on Nov. 9. And there is no political "morning-after-pill."   So more than an arbitrary thing, the 100-day window lets everyone give the victor the benefit of the doubt and show us he's legit.  With 100 days, it's even rigged in favor of the president. Mind you, the "honeymoon" phase is when the president's capital is said to be at its highest (largely because he hasn't screwed up yet). Rightfully then, we can expect the "100 days" to give us a good sense of the absolute best an incoming president can do.   In other words, it's never going to be any better. This is it.    Which makes it troublesome that as we approach the 100th day, the best we can say is, "Can we get an annulment?"   No, here's what can be said. Trump knows how to be a boss. He just doesn't know how to be president.   He knows closely-held family businesses and is all too willing to appoint inexperienced family members to influential positions. Democracy? It's an alien notion to Trump. LIke his towers, he likes to be the big bully, above it all. With three immigration executive orders held up in federal court (two on travel bans, one on sanctuary cities), it's clear he doesn't know the limit of his reach.   His tax cuts are like his public payout for your silence. Raising the standard deduction for individuals may put a few hundred bucks in your pocket. But it's nothing compared to the corporate tax cut. And according to Trump, it's all made up by growing the economy at 3 percent.   It's a variation of "trickle down" economics. Over the last 30 years, we've already learned that "trickle down" theories don't work well in practice. Cutting taxes on the rich so they reinvest in jobs and it all magically trickles down throughout the economy is a nice fantasy. But it doesn't work (not if companies merely use cash to buy back shares and pay the top execs). The plan enriches the 1 percent and practically guarantees the growth of budget deficits, putting the country in the red--if the fantasy doesn't come true.   Couple all that with Trump's huge military budget, and his 100 day penchant for using missiles in Syria and Afghanistan like he's trying to outdo Kim Jong Un, and you see where this could all be heading.    It's not the middle class, let alone America first.   The tax cut is bad policy. Don't let Trump buy your silence. It's not like a money back guarantee. Besides, your vote in our democracy is worth way more than that.   Resist. Insist on tax fairness. Trump said in his campaign he'd raise taxes on the rich. Make him live up to that. Either that, or it's just another Trump lie. A typical flip-flop like we've seen in the first 100 days.   From China, to trade, to NATO, to his bad appointments, to his aggressive military stands without Congressional approval, the president has done more in 100 days to discredit himself than to reassure us in his presidency.   Hence, my grade for Trump:  F. And that doesn't stand for Filipino.   And if you still believe, like Trump, that the 100 day marker really doesn't matter, well, it does mean this.    America still has a healthy sentence remaining for which there is no parole.    You can mark it on the wall with chalk, but it's better simply to act up and resist.    After April 29th, we've got 1,360 days left.   That includes the lost days if Trump's politicking results in a government shutdown. What can you expect from Trump but the best kind of gridlock we've ever seen?   IN LOS ANGELES, ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY: 25 years, or 9,125 days later In Korean, the phrase being used is "sa-i-gu," or 4-2-9, the date most Korean Americans will never forget. If you were in Los Angeles, you were at ground zero. They call it a riot. They call it an uprising. There was plenty to be upset about. The Rodney King verdict--which acquitted four police officers caught on videotape beating King--was the flashpoint. But it also allowed a community to vent about everything else, including the case of Latasha Harlins, a 15-year-old girl who was shot and killed by a South Korean store owner. Soon Ja Du, the liquor store owner, was convicted of manslaughter, fined, given five years 'probation, but no prison time-- even though the jury suggested Du get 16 years. That, combined with the King verdict, is said to have triggered six days of unrest. It left 55 dead, 2,000 injured, 11,000 arrested.   And it was the Korean American community that bore the brunt of the outrage.   On the AALDEF podcast, I play a clip from the Korean Churches for Community Development's (KCCD) partnership with KoreanAmericanStory.org.    The first story is from John Lim, who was the president of the Korean American Bar Association in 1992. He says Korean Americans, by virtue of their businesses, were misperceived by the media and the public as reaping economic benefit from the African American community and "not giving back."  Because of that, Lim says Korean Americans were unfairly victimized during the riots. They were harshly treated in the aftermath when liquor licenses were taken away, and families not compensated. Lim doesn't see why a struggling Korean American community, most of them newly arrived post-1965, should have been blamed for the hundreds of years of social injustice endured by African Americans in society.   The KCCD Commemorative service is one of many to be held this weekend in Los Angeles at the Oriental Mission Church, at USC, and UCLA.    Listen to Lim on our podcast: coming soon!   IN DEFENSE OF TAKEOUTS, and In Ho Oh I've named our podcast "Emil Amok's Takeout," and that means we have a soft spot in our heart for Chinese takeouts.    In Philadelphia, takeouts are under siege by overzealous cops who often ticket them unfairly for being open after 11 p.m.   I talk with Philadelphia councilman David Oh about the situation. Are Chinese takeouts no different than the Korean liquor store owners of Los Angeles? Oh talks about that. And he tells his own personal story of his cousin beaten to death in 1958 in Philadelphia. It was a Korean/African American story that was felt from Philadelphia to Seoul. The story of In Ho Oh has become a motivating factor for David Oh in the modern racial disputes he sees. It teaches him to seek the high road--by rejecting revenge and offering forgiveness.   As you'll hear in the interview, it didn't take the family 100 days in 1958 to show its compassion   MY COUSIN STEPHEN--1,095 DAYS LATER  Finally, on the podcast, Oh speaking about forgiveness makes he consider my own cousin's murder. Stephen Guillermo was gunned down May 3, 2014 when he entered the wrong apartment by mistake. The resident, an African immigrant, was armed and shot him with a single bullet. I've written about it here. The murderer was known, was arrested, and then released. The DA wouldn't touch the case. My cousin remains a victim, with no real resolution or sense of justice.   But a story like In Ho Oh's offers some comfort and guidance as we approach May 3rd, 1,095 days after Stephen's murder.   In these key anniversaries, we remember as we approach Asian Pacific American Heritage Month how easy it is to slip into an unwitting divide-and-conquer mindset. No one wins, if we take the bait and fight each other.    After hundreds of days, in these painful instances where the poor are pitted against the poor, maybe our best options always come down to this: forgiveness, understanding, and empathy.   *     *     * Emil Guillermo is an independent journalist/commentator.

Please join us as we discuss the current political climate.  There is so much that we need to unpack and so little time.  This is the first of our plantation politics series, in an effort to better understand what's happening.  Empty promises and sweet nothings no longer pacify those who have been marginalized, othered, forgotten, and discarded (until your vote is needed).  We also need to examine our plans IF Donald Trump is elected.  Even if he doesnt win, his supporters have been given a voice, empowered, and emboldened. How do we navigate this new climate that is evolving in America and around the world? We remember Sandra Bland and Latasha Harlins. Please take time out to read about these women whose lives were taken. #saytheirnames #sayhername #Sandystillspeak
