The Lesson of Asian Americans for Blacks By Dennis Campbell
In 1992, after African Americans in Los Angeles set fires damaging 3,100 businesses, killing 53 and causing a billion dollars in damage during the Rodney King Riots, Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters had a press conference where she screeched her usual tedious and tired rhetoric basically holding white America responsible for black social and economic failures.
Then someone asked her about the Korean community’s tradition of family members pooling their resources to help one another. She said something to the effect of, “Well, that’s something to think about.”
No doubt she did – for the microsecond it took her to forget about it.
