Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17 year old vigilante murderer walks free. This verdict has set the precedent for fascist paramilitary groups around the country to be able to kill protesters without any consequences. This is hardly the first time that the police have relied on paramilitary right-wing violence to put down resistance movements. In local news, a street will be named after police brutality victim, Akai Gurley who was shot and killed in the Pink Houses by officer Peter Liang in 2014. After years of struggle, activists have fought to have a street named after Akai to enshrine the struggle for justice for Akai in history, and to make sure that the city never forgets what happened. Akai Gurley's Aunt, Heretencia Peterson joins the show to talk about the bittersweet victory of the street naming.Thanks-taking is coming up and around this year's dinner tables it's important to remember that native struggle is not in the past - but happening right now. In NY state in the hamptons, one of the wealthiest areas in the country, The Shinnnecock nation is being sued by NY state for building billboards to raise money for their tribe. The audacity of the state is on full display, as the state wastes resources to deny the Shinnecock's treaty rights, but did little to nothing to support the tribe during COVID-19. Joining the show is Tela Trogue, attorney and organizer with the Shinnecock Nation.

Hello, A special episode this week with filmmaker Ursula Liang about her new film Down a Dark Stairwell. It’s out now on PBS and we hope everyone who listens to the show watches this nuanced, thoughtful and brave film. I (Jay) first saw Ursula’s work in 9-Man, a film about sports in Chinatown. Since then, I’ve followed her career carefully because what she does — deep community reporting, thoughtful portrayals of the concerns of all types of people, and the care with which she makes her films — exemplifies everything good about journalism and documentary filmmaking. This is a film about many things, but at it’s core, it’s about how two communities deal with a police killing. And through verite footage and intimate interviews, it shows how people both come together and split apart while trying to navigate problems that fall well outside the easy consensus. On the show, we talk a lot about the need to go beyond rigid identity categories and simple, doctrinaire explanations. If you want to watch what that looks like, watch this film. The film is available in both Chinese and English — both versions available to stream here. —As always, thanks for supporting the show.

We promised ourselves we would finish this season by the end of 2020, as it was inspired by the events of 2020. And here we are: episode 10 of our Saturday School semester on Asian American interracial cinema. We started from the 70s/80s and slowly worked our way up to the present. Ursula Liang's documentary "Down a Dark Stairwell" had its premiere in March 2020 at the True/False Film Fest, right before the lockdown, and has been doing the festival circuit all year. It'll be available to watch on PBS in April 2021. It's about an innocent Black man Akai Gurley who was killed by a Chinese American police officer Peter Liang in 2014. Over 100 Black men have been killed by the NYPD in the past 15 years. The only NYPD officer who has ever been convicted is a Chinese American rookie cop that shot into a dark stairwell. As Asian Americans, it was hard for us to watch Chinese/Asian American organizing emerge in full force yet devolve so quickly, chaotically and unnecessarily into warring factions - one deemed racist, the other deemed race traitors or worse. Does the film leave us with any hope that Asian Americans can fight for our communities, without dismissing other communities of color? Maybe only from looking back at pioneers in history and imagining where we can still go in the future. But it's one of the most powerful documentaries of the year. We learned a lot from making this season, every time we revisited a moment where work was being done to find interracial solidarity, even if there were and will continue to be numerous missteps along the way. We hope you took away something useful from our season too. Happy new year from Saturday School, and here's to being more prepared for whatever 2021 brings.

有人说,2020 年美国总统选举是这个国家史上最撕裂的大选。这样的撕裂在美国华人社区中也展现无遗,在微信和推特中文圈上,支持民主党与共和党的两派华人之间的骂战不绝于耳。华人新移民与在美国出生长大的华裔美国人之间的政治分化也加剧。许多美国华人家庭中,两代人因政治争吵不休。 这并非 2020 年大选一朝一夕造成的结果,而是近年来多个标志性政治事件与争议性政策日积月累形成的趋势。 第一代华人移民“右转”是近年来美国华人参政议政的一个显著现象,华人“川粉”为何力挺特朗普?推崇进步理念和多元族裔社会的民主党,为什么难以吸引第一代华人移民的支持? 本期节目兆音请到了居住在纽约多年的记者荣筱箐,一起聊聊华人近年来在美国政治讨论中发出的多元声音。 【主播】 冯兆音,驻华盛顿记者 【嘉宾】 荣筱箐,纽约华文媒体记者,纽约时报中文网、财新等媒体的撰稿人 【后期】 Luke 【主要话题】 [02:50] 美国华人选民的撕裂程度难以想象 [03:43] 80 年代的「陈果仁」事件与亚裔社区兴起 [12:14] 「蓝」转「红」只是为了挑选符合自身利益的纲领 [27:56] 「川粉」仅仅只剩下疯狂吗?华裔的声音在哪里 [45:12] 从社交 APP 中发现华人参政势头渐起 【相关阅读】 陈果仁(Vincent Chin),美籍华人,1982 年在底特律被误认他为日裔的两名白人汽车工人殴打致死。此案被视为美国亚裔参与民权运动的关键转折点。 李爱晨(Ellen Lee Zhou),共和党籍加州政治人物,前旧金山(三藩市)市长候选人。 梁彼得(Peter Liang),前纽约市警员,2014 年巡逻时误杀阿凯·格里(Akai Gurley),后被判过失杀人、渎职。事件引发华人社区上街示威,指责梁彼得成为美国警察与非裔紧张关系中的替罪羊。 杨安泽(Andrew Yang),2020 年大选中曾参选民主党内的总统初选,有传他正筹备纽约市长选战。 美国的平权法案(Affirmative Action),在教育与就业上特别考虑历史上被排斥的群体,尤其是少数族裔与女性,以纠正过往与如今社会上存在的歧视。 《纽约时报》:“少数族裔一定会投票给民主党吗?” (https://cn.nytimes.com/opinion/20201123/immigrants-vote-election-politics/) 纽约时报中文网:“把华人‘川粉’当笑话,民主党恐会后悔” (https://cn.nytimes.com/opinion/20201120/dont-laugh-at-chinese-trump-supporters/) 纽约时报中文网:“你和非裔站在一起?两代华人的种族歧视大辩论” (https://cn.nytimes.com/opinion/20200618/chinese-black-racism-us/) 端传媒:“特朗普真的给华人VIP待遇了吗?” (https://theinitium.com/article/20160601-international-Trumpchinese/) 端传媒:“沉默的华人为什么为梁彼得站了出来?” (https://theinitium.com/article/20160224-international-PeterLiang1/) 【音乐】 * Book Bag-E's Jammy Jams 【关于我们】 网站:etw.fm (https://www.etw.fm/) 新浪微博:声东击西ETW 邮件:etwstudio@gmail.com 国内/外支持我们:https://www.etw.fm/donation Special Guest: 荣筱箐.

Hey everyone. I have a brief update to share about the show and some thoughts in light of the recent events. But before I do, I want to say loudly and clearly that Black Lives Matter. As an Asian-American, I think about the way anti-Blackness is embedded throughout Asian culture and society. I think about how this anti-Black sentiment showed itself when Asian-American communities rallied around NYPD officer Peter Liang for murdering Akai Gurley. I think about the affirmative action lawsuit against Harvard that Asians supported as being driven by the same anti-Black sentiment. And of course, there was the Hmong-American police officer standing by as George Floyd was murdered. If there is one thing that has driven me to create this podcast, it is the belief that true freedom cannot come at the expense of Black lives. I think silence in anti-Black violence will not give Asian any true place in a racist white supremacist world. The lacking of self-awareness and propagating anti-Black and anti-Brown rhetoric just so certain Asian can get ahead will not lead to a better place. My heart goes out to everyone protesting on the streets and doing the hard work to elevate Black voices and not black squares.Regarding this show, I did not release an episode last week. When I sat down to write the intro, no words came out. My podcast and voice seemed trite. I took it as a sign to not release my episode if I had to force words out when they were not ready. I also felt the voices that needed to be heard were Black voices. I then thought about this in relation to remaining silent and don’t have a clear answer. When I set out to make this podcast, I wanted to be able to confront my privilege as a Chinese-American cis male who went to college to study art and is able to travel to residencies while moving through the art world. I wanted to keep talking about race because I don’t believe one simply becomes “woke.” Talking about race is a lifelong commitment that never ends. I am forever learning and figuring out where these conversations fit within the larger picture.In lieu of a real episode, I posted on my website a list of resources for anyone interested. There is a lot out there and many of these materials are waiting to be used. Feel free to share and continue the discussion about how white supremacy and racism continues to pervade every aspect of our lives.So that’s the update. Again, thank you to everyone who has been supportive of this show as I couldn’t have gotten here without all the guests and listeners. I’ll resume my episodes starting next week. Until then, stay safe, stay healthy, and good bye for now.Image credit: @jerrygogosianhttps://www.instagram.com/jerrygogosian/Donations to Organizations:Black-Owned Bookstores (Publishers Weekly)Black Lives MatterBlack Lives Matter Los Angelesblacklivesmatters.carrd.coI Run With MaudJustice for Breonna TaylorJustice for George FloydMinnesota Freedom FundNational Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)Bukit Bail FundReclaim the Block: fund our broader movementReadings and other resources:ANTI-RACISM RESOURCESWhat Is an Anti-Racist Reading List For?Critical Reading Google Drive FolderModernity + ColonialityThe Case for Reparations by Ta-Nehisi Coates20+ Allyship Actions for Asians to Show Up for the Black Community Right NowExtended Learning:Justice in June Google DocOver the course of the month, you will have spent 5 hours intentionally learning how to be an active ally of the black community.

Thompson, the first black district attorney of Brooklyn, New York, died this week. He was a husband, a father, and 50 years-old. Regrettably, many have used this time to deprecate Mr. Thompson's work, voicing dissatisfaction with the Peter Liang case. Liang, a former NYPD officer, was found guilty earlier this year for the 2014 killing of an unarmed black male, Akai Gurley. Liang was not sentenced to jail time. Thompson's critics ignore his years of counter-racist work, which includes convicting the White savage who anally raped Abner Louima in 1997. Thompson also stopped prosecuting low level cannabis offenses in his jurisdiction and " agreed to overturn 21 convictions and re-examine more than 100 in one of the most ambitious efforts of its kind." Because of his labor, some prisoners who were caged for decades were released. Mr. Thompson wasn't the only black public servant having a tough time in New York. Black firefighters launched a $150 million law suit against the FDNY, charging racial discrimination. In the Caribbean, Haiti continues to suffer from the calamity of Hurricane Matthew.

She has dedicated years of her life to community organizing in immigrant communities. Ms. Dang and CAAAV have been deeply involved with the 2014 shooting death of Akai Gurley. The unarmed black male was shot and killed by a Chinese-American NYPD officer, Peter Liang. Earlier this year, Liang was convicted of manslaughter, but was not sentenced to jail time. Thousands of Asian Americans across the country launched massive protests in support of Peter Liang, suggesting that he was being scapegoated and was also a victim. Ms. Dang has consistently asserted that Liang should be held accountable for killing a US citizen. She used this case to illustrate how "Asian Americans are complicit and complacent to uphold white supremacy." #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

First Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, Natalie Cole, Dr. Delbert Blair and Maurice White all died at the beginning of the year. Now, musical prodigy Prince passed away suddenly at the age of 57. Questions surround his cause of death and the value of his estate; Whites again are clamoring to display their regard for a dead black person - who notoriously compared himself to being a "slave" to White music magnates. Speaking of slavery, Whites announced that counter-terrorist and black liberator Harriet Tubman will be the new face of the U.S. twenty dollar bill - black enslaver, White Supremacist and former President Andrew Jackson will be relocated to the back of the bank note. Speaking of Racist elected officials, criminal charges have been filed against several White Michigan officials for the poisoning of the predominantly black city of Flint; Governor Rick Snyder was not one of the officials indicted. Speaking of accountability, former NYPD officer and convicted killer Peter Liang was sentenced to zero days in jail for the 2014 shooting death of Akai Gurley. While black people die world wide with few tears or adequate redress, Whites spent much of the week hand-wringing news from the Centers For Disease Control, which reports that the life expectancy of White Women declined. Unsurprisingly, even in during the current rough patch White chics still outlive black males by approximately a decade on average. #BlackMentalHealth INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

After allegedly arguing with officers, Wakeisha Wilson, 36, was found dead in her jail cell at the LAPD detention center on Easter Sunday. Her family was informed three days later. The cops say it was suicide. Peter Liang, the former NY police officer who was convicted of shooting "total innocent" Akai Gurley to death has been sentenced. Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel's task force has determined that the Chicago Police Department has a history of using excessive force against minorities, perpetuates a code of silence and has "no regard for the sanctity of life when it comes to people of color." Hot on the heels of North Carolina and Mississippi's recent anti-gay legislation comes the passage of Tennessee's anti-gay counseling bill which will allow medical professionals to reject treating LGBTQ patients based on "sincerely held principals." Not to be undone, Michigan state senator Tom Casperson has introduced anti-trans restroom legislation.

Often this is a tactic used to control and punish. A New York City councilwoman is trying to change this. Kansas students get a $2500 reward if they rat on their transgender classmates for being in the "wrong" bathroom. In Arizona, where polling places have been cut back statewide, the Phoenix mayor has called on a federal investigation into voting problems. Arizona cut back the number of polling places statewide, but for some reason, the city of Phoenix where minorities comprise the majority of the population, got a disproportionately small number of voting stations. In Brooklyn, the DA recommends no jail time for Peter Liang, the police officer who killed Akai Gurley. In Oklahoma, Daniel Holtzclaw, the cop who was convicted of raping 13 black women, is no longer listed in the Oklohoma prison system. This makes it difficult for his victims who filed a lawsuit against him. A scathing report by an independent investigations task force says the the state of Michigan, under the leadership of Gov. Rick Synder, was "fundamentally accountable" for the Flint tap water poisoning. In Brooklyn, Glen Grays was doing his job delivering the mail.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how eeest to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. We'll use these sessions to hone our use of words as tools to reveal truth, neutralize White people. We'll examine news reports from the past seven days and - hopefully - promote a constructive dialog. #ANTIBLACKNESS Spring of 2016 began ominously with the reported massacre in Belgium. While the global White community coalesces to rebuke and avenge the attacks, Gus thinks this could be a fraction of what's do (chickens coming home to roost) for the Belgian genocide of black people in the Congo. United States presidential candidates recalibrated their talking points to speak to the alleged terrorist menace. While Donald J. Trump and Hillary R. Clinton maintain considerable delegate leads in the chase for nomination, in Arizona another alleged Trump protester was bum-rushed. Only this time, a black male, Staff Sgt. Tony Pettway, was detained for cracking the noggin of a White man, Trump dissenter Bryan Sanders. Speaking of police, Peter Liang, the former NYPD officer and convicted killer of Akai Gurley, received a recommendation from the district attorney that he not be incarcerated; the Gurley family was "blindsided." New York hip hop icon and A Tribe Called Quest co-founder Phife Dawg died this week at the age of 45. Former mayor of Toronto, crack smoker and Suspected Racist Rob Ford also died. He was 46. Speaking of disreputable public officials, an independent panel concluded that Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, state officials and the Environmental Protection Agency once again showed flagrant "disregard for the concerns" and health of the mostly black citizens of Flint. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS â?? paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

Professor Daniel Shaw visits The Context of White Supremacy. A Golden Gloves boxer having twice fought in Madison Square Garden, Shaw teaches Latin American and Caribbean Studies and Race, Ethnicity, Class and Gender at the City University of New York. He's authored five books including: My Son Blazes within Me: Reflections on a Poor "white" Family's Survival and 365 Days of Resistance. Professor Shaw provided one of the most tacky illustrations of White Supremacy in the seven year history of The C.O.W.S. We're always excited to converese with Whites who allege to be working against Racism and willing to speak truthfully about The Problem/Racism. We'll get his view on the presidential election and likelihood of Donald Trump occupying the White House. We'll also get his thoughts on the Akai Gurley trial and the protests in support of convicted killer Peter Liang. We'll also see if he's been following the University of Albany kerfuffle where three black females have been charged with fabricating accusations of Racism. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

The Washington Post reported that not only did the young victims engage in consensual sex, the young teens interrupted the girl and her drunk father who were engaged in sexual incest in public. Speaking of The Big Apple, thousands of protesters rallied behind convicted killer and former NYDP officer Peter Liang. Many Asians maintain that Liang is only facing prison time because he is not White and that he should not be "scapegoated" for police terrorism against black citizens. Not all "Chinese Americans" endorse this stance. In upstate New York, three black female students at the University of Albany have been charged with filing false reports and assault. Earlier this year, the black students reported being racially brutalized on a bus. Enforcement officers now report that video footage contradicts their claim and shows that they were the aggressors. Across the country, a group of former San Jose State University White thugs were not convicted of hate crimes for their 2013 terrorist assault of a black male freshmen; the young Race soldiers placed a bike lock around the black scholars throat and called him "three fifths" and "fraction." The White hoodlums were convicted of misdemeanor battery charges; the prosecutor chose not to pursue felony charges. They face less than a year in prison. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

Skin Privilege on Fleek! Über driver shoots and kills six in Michigan. He is apprehended without a scratch. The media calls this an "isolated incident" and paints him - not as a "thug" - but as a "lone wolf" suffering from "mental illness". Sound familiar? In Cincinnati, the day after police carefully and safely arrested a Caucasian man who brandished his weapon at them and verbally threatened them, the cops killed a black man, Paul Gaston, who was legally carrying a BB gun in an "open carry" state. You surprised? The supporters of former NYPD officer Peter Liang say he was only convicted because he's Chinese. They insist that he be allowed to get off like a white cop would. Akai Gurley be damned. Edward Currie, 31, died in Sacramento, CA police custody. As of Monday, Feb 22, the police refused to give information to his family. Wash, rinse, repeat. Off-duty NYPD chief is harassed by an officer who didn't recognize him. Guess why? All this and more. Tuesday, Feb 23, 6pm. Pacific

Nate Parker's biopic on freedom fighter Nat Turner lit up the 2015 Sundance Film Festival; Fox Searchlight doled out $17.5 million for the highly acclaimed production. Speaking of blacks who were killed, the trial in the 2014 shooting death of Akai Gurley began this week in New York City. Non-white (Asian) officer Peter Liang faces manslaughter charges for killing the unarmed black male in 2014; if convicted he could face up to 15 years behind bars. On the opposite side of the country, the White Terrorist confrontation in Oregon climaxed with multiple arrests and one fatality as enforcement officials killed Robert Finicum. Some of the armed White thugs remain entrenched on the federal property, despite pleas from their detained White comrades that they surrender. And the pacific northwest's own Macklemore released his ode to "anti-racism," "White Privilege II."

Flint, Michigan: environmental racism on display. The powers-that-be have knowingly, and with forethought, poisoned the tap water of the predominately black city since April 2014. This atrocity was recently uncovered and publicized, but no one has yet been held accountable. Water bills continue to be issued and the residents have been warned that they risk losing custody of their children if they don't pay for the poisoned water. The local EPA official quit last week. There is demand for Michigan's Republican govornor to resign. And there are rumors that undocumented immigrants in Flint are being refused the bottled water that has been sent to the area. Environmental racism is real. According to the The Center for Public Integrity, out of "300 complaints filed by communities of color, the EPA have never once made a formal finding of a civil-rights violation." Another black youth has died in custody. Her name was Gynna McMillen. She was 16. The trial of the officer who shot and killed Akai Gurley in NYC has begun. On the day he was shot, Akai Gurley was declared to be a "total innocent" by Chief Bill Bratton. But that doesn't stop the NYPD officer Peter Liang from attempting to avoid criminal responsibilty. President Obama bans solitary confinement for juveniles in federal prisons. Grand jury indicts two anti-abortion activists behind the fake Planned Parenthood videos. In response, Texas doubles down on its intention to completely financially strip the state Planned Parenthood. A federal court in North Carolina will hear a challenge to the state's restrictive voter ID law. And more. Tuesday, January 26, 6pm Pacific.
