Mission Local produces enterprise-reporting on SFs most critical issues: police reform, corruption, public health, housing and homelessness. She should read Triple Package. Theres more than a standard deviation between blacks and African and Asian immigrants in study hours per week, and black and Asian immigrants have virtually eliminated everything we complain about black people experiencing, homelessness, prison, being killed by police, being killed by criminals, murder, extreme multi-generational poverty, lifetime of minimum wage, etc. Collins's injuries from the crash included broken vertebrae and a wound to his arm, according to Rolling Stone. Not one peep. The entire reason I brought this up in the context of this discussion is that people are getting the vapors over Collinss use of white supremacy, and then responding to her as if Collins had meant THE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DEFINITION that happens to be the only one they are familiar with. Even if she was a victim in the past, it doesnt give her anymore right to hurt others. Those on the field doing hard labor had it harder, but at the end of the day, they were all still slaves and the persons position in the home was tenuous. Maybe there were no role models at home? So even those who feel secure in their whiteness may not be so secure once the definition is sharpened and you get excluded. Success depends on many factors, but there is something called the immigrant paradox where even low-wage Asian families can thrive through hard work. This has become a litmus test of sorts. #condenscendingtwat. Listen. Thats factual diligence. Nope. And she did not say all Asians. anyone who takes other peoples word without independent thinking has no mind of his own. They do this: study way more hours, emphasize education to their kids, marry and stay married, work, study summers, focus on grades and test scores and what really matters most, avoid drugs. Why hasnt Zhou been made or voted to be removed from her city position? My mom was a poor Chinese immigrant and my dad was was a poor working class White kid. Why were Mexican workers able to find jobs in the Southwest? If America is unfair and racist, the goal is to destroy it and start over. The death threats were sent to an account called SFGAL8, not Collins and Lopez. Why is it that racism coming from the left complicated while racism from the right is clear as day? The business is also launching topical and ingestible products centered around Because Collins is not wrong!! Her skin color and gender doesnt give her the right to discriminate and belittle another race! Bias & racism are still a problem in our country. Donald Trump, whose been the embodiment of the American work ethic for decades, calls them losers to which they should be summarily fired. Even the *reporters* who have been giddily covering this controversy have no interest in engaging with any of this stuff as context for their stories that would help readers make sense of what Collins meant; the level of sophistication that the average Chron journalist has on this topic is OOOH that lady used the n-word, that automatically means she did a racism.. That just sounds weird. However, there has always been controversy surrounding merit-based admissions in that school. Its also interesting that the defenders of the murals at Washington High are so insistent that they should stay because a slave-owner wasnt really a racist. By Alison Collins standards, historical context doesnt matter. His second daughter is Allison who was born in 1973 or 1974. This city has been very unfair to minorities with the gentrification of many neighborhoods and the exuberant rents. His asst principal is an Asian immigrant and when he explains that someone was not insulting her, they were just using an idiom. 2023 Getty Images. I have to touch back on the Freedom of Our Speech earlier comment. They are a call to support one another! We also are subjected to covert discrimination, and recent events like 9/11 or the pandemic, remind us that we have to be vigilant. Thanks for your comments. Probably wouldnt have been possible without Lowell. No, this is dumb. She wasnt providing a nuanced perspective on race relations based on Malcolm Xs speech, she was slandering another race. These model minorities are presented as evidence of the efficacy of the American work ethic and rugged individualism. As refugees and displaced persons, we have certainly beat the odds but not everyone prospers. There has NEVER EVER been an instance where kids are purposely excluded from any programs or resources at either school. 3. When I met with Lauter about a decade ago after he read some posts of mine less than supportive of Israel, he invited me to coffee. They have the time and libraries have the material free as do many nonprofits. Your argument is irrelevant mainly. Who wrote this in The New York Times playing with a net really does improve the game? 7. Thanks again. To add insult to injury, The Chinese American Alliance sent out a message titled Comrades dont stay silent and support San Francisco mayoral candidate Ellen Lee Zhou, in which it trashed San Francisco and asked for donations and support for her campaign. The tweets say what they say and say what they say regardless of whos publicizing them. Even explaining this, she was called racist. Through all the degrees and academics, you all have forgot how to carry on adult conversations. Saying that you value family and academics implies that Blacks and Browns do not. Do you think people went-oh theyre black(NEXT) like that? It fits the narrative of school sucks because they are surrounded by historical situations that suck, every day. But if she does, I will not call for her to resign. Coupled with the lingering effects of losing his friends in the plane crash, Kathy's death devastated Allen. Part of Allen's sentence from his car wreck, called for him to use his fame and influence to warn kids of the dangers of drunk driving. So youre telling me all the other elected officials who showed up at the press conference denouncing the death threats were duped because there werent really any death threats made against Collins and Lopez? Big yikes. Can you readers believe teacher Joe used the word sclerotic in succeeding pieces? In the Lynyrd Skynyrd biographyWhiskey Bottles and Brand-New Cars: The Fast Life and Sudden Death of Lynyrd Skynyrd, author Mark Ribowsky illustrates that Collins suffered from terrible survivor's guilt and PTSD that lead to severe nightmares. In 1963, Allen lived in Jacksonville's Cedar Hills area when an older friend received a guitar for his birthday. Collins sounds pretty hateful towards Asian-Americans, to be honest. Is that really designed to make opportunity more equal? This is a lot to take in bc it is a broad stroke and I am trying to understand it myself. They sacrificed stress pressuring their kids to go the extra mile to ensure they dont get any Bs and study for tests in the summer. Allison Collins is confirming the very worst stereotypes about black people- that they will drag down anyone who does well in school with the acting white label. I am 100% ready to stand together with black activists. thank you, MER, for your heartfelt, educated and eloquent 3/25 post. Allen's unique, firey guitar playing and powerful songwriting helped insure Lynyrd Skynyrd's place in rock and roll history. I want more black kids, but they have to choose to sacrifice the same time Asian kids do on flashcards, workbooks, reading, looking up words, trying to correct grammar if they hear friends misconjugate verbs, read all Summer, etc. Where is the logic in that? They want to destroy their opposition in every way. It is racism, it is inflammatory, and it is not appropriate for someone responsible for children she is clearly racist towards. Black kids study less than whites, on average. As incomprehensible as this might be, if you follow or assume that the first thought is accurate re White Supremacy acts (which my opinion is it is not and devalues so many ppl and cultures, thus very racist), then the last sentence makes more sense where she is trying to free all of the Asian community from the bounds (White Supremacy thinking) that are tying AAPI down. And, regardless of newspapers blithely using the term racist tweets reductively transforming a complicated situation into a simple one, applying a metaphorical scarlet letter and minimizing the very real problems of systemic anti-Blackness the tweets say what they say.. Her tweets, no matter what she actually meant, would seem to fit perfectly in the criteria of those 44. Geoffrey Canada says black kids and parents have to sacrifice as many hours as it takes. Lots of other countries with renowned education systems do not aggressively sort their students at the primary/secondary level like this; they wait for university exams to do that. They have to save and not waste money. Its interesting how you want to talk about anti-blackness but fail to mention how the overwhelming majority of attacks on Asians come from blacks, which has been this way for decades. Allen Collins was at the genesis of Lynyrd Skynyrd when he joined lead singer Ronnie Van Zant and fellow guitarist Gary Rossington as long ago as 1964 to form Is this the San Francisco school board leadership! Asian Americans in San Francisco, even those inclined to support Collins or at least elements of her worldview would never be a less charitable audience. Ive been to numerous police brutality protests and Asians are like unicorns. 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. Allison Collins By Ryan Broussard rybroussard@theadvocate.com Aug 18, 2014 - 3:54 pm Prosecutors will not file charges against Baton Rouge singer Allison I read She also attacked Lowell because a Pakistani American Senior made a slightly awkward poster. The Stud, W. H. Allen (London), 1969; World Publishing, 1970. I did not call her an idiot for believing in the American Dream, youve just completely made that claim up with zero textual evidence. And if youre not successful, then maybe you havent been working hard enough or youre just lazy. But at the same time, the house negro status is a precarious one subject to the masters whims. There are countless views of this and I am continually struck by the insights and angles coming from different people. Maybe the elementary and middle schools Pasta kids went to didnt have as good funding and not as many programs? This brings up another parable of the pot calling the kettle black. The members of Lynyrd Skynyrd hopped on a tour plane on October 20, 1977, not knowing that for Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines, and the band's road manager, it would be the last trip they ever took. And that definitely happened here. Collins is the only Black woman on the school board (though these tweets were written two years before her election). I think there are legitimate questions about that now, while shes still alive. Collins married Kathy Evelyn Johns on October 10, 1970 with whom he had two daughters, Amy and Allison. Kathy had a fatal haemorrhage during miscarriage of the couples third child in 1980. Her death devastated Collins. Personal tragedy struck again on January 29, 1986 when Collins new Ford Thunderbird crashed into a ditch. My parents immigrated here from China with very little money and yes, I studied my ass off unlike almost everyone else in my school. Asian Americans study over twice as much as whites in California and thus earn more money and are more than 3x as likely to make a UC. Times were very difficult since Allen's musical career barely brought in enough to support the young family. i apologize to the readers on my diatribe in response to the comments made by mb. There would not be any opportunity for articles like this one analyzing context or motives. that stems from a sinful heart, but do not impose your will on people who dont agree with you, now or ever. However, meritocracy in the United States is a myth. Scholars study these subjects **for their jobs** and they have accepted meanings for terms like white supremacy. If you want to talk about race and not sound like the idiot that youre sounding like right now, you owe it to yourself to familiarize yourself with their work. That would strengthen America, and Collins and Lopez want to bring America down. Im told the idea of killing me was broached at an SFSOS meeting. The mayor has the power to They were not taken out of context at all. Collins is completely one-sided in her view of anti-Blackness among Asians. She wants students to be equally less successful. Of course there are Asian-American jerks, just like there are jerks of every other race and ethnicity. delusions. And if she can drop the pretension of being an amateur Orientalist long enough actually listen to the Asian community its she thinks she represents, perhaps we can give her a few history lessons. Gold and platinum albums followed a string of hit songs like 'Sweet Home Alabama', 'Saturday Night Special', 'Gimme Back My Bullets', 'What's Your Name? Boards are the best place to save images and video clips. City College SF has some great classes about the Asian-American history, if they want to learn about why their words and actions are so hurtful and dangerous. Thank you Gustavo for your clear thinking and helpful words! Lily moved with her mother to LA at the age of five, after her parents split up. Is this truth you speak of going to make a better place for all of us? I dont think youd find many Asian American families who would choose A. Is this unity? Empathizing with how others perceive your words. Less hateful, less bigoted. I appreciate the nuance you showed here. For Collins not to acknowledge why so many Asian Americans, including former allies and endorsers, would react so strongly, for her not to pick up on the raw pain Asian Americans are feeling now this is more than a political miscalculation. Cookie Notice Like if people say youre a hard worker, they dont necessarily mean you are a hard worker; rather, that is a representation of their own personal biases about Asians. Heres how you can summarize this story and most of the comments: Please, Allison, please, please, just apologize for making (not) racist remarks. Why refer to Asian Americans as if the community is monolithic? But Collins was/is a major and vocal proponent of that process and the concept. The Freebird Foundation, Inc. People dont want to just win an argument. i have an M.D. Is character education taught in todays schools or emphasized in our country? Do not dismiss the multiple jobs and sacrifices that many immigrant or poor families make to send their kids to Lowell. His mother would work all day at a cigar factory and did a job in the evenings at Woolworths to meet ends. The band spawned two albums of which the first Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere (1980) included their most successful single Don't Misunderstand Me that charted in late 1980. Pasta loving kids should be let in-not based on merit, but based on the fact that they happen to love pasta? 30% could at least get all Bs, which means they are trying hard but maybe not working as hard as they could be, but were at least a decent human being and student. Maybe the guy in Georgia liked Trump, and there are whites who attack Asians, but most here are black, so acknowledge that. Unless it applies to her. Cant you see how this rhetoric diminishes the confidence of those communities, while also stoking envious hatred towards other communities? You have to use the scientific method. Asian Americans were indeed on Trumps list. So @blinkywhat is holding them back? Yet this is what she did of all Asians with her misguided tweets. Your humble narrator was a writer and columnist for SF Weekly from 2007 to 2015, and a senior editor at San Francisco Magazine from 2015 to 2017. Our problems will never be solved by the white man.. We have to understand the contextcalling someone a house n for doing well in school and getting in to lowell and then to UC and then getting a great job is a gross distortion of what malcolm x was talking about(because he was speaking specifically about blacks).using the model minority concept and equating it to house ns makes sense only if you feel all minorities must side with certain political and racial ideologies.her entire folly is to assume that asian people must submit and further woke agendas, and if they dont they are siding with white supremacy.Malcolm spoke in the context of independence not in the forced integration and forced equity that the woke mob intends to imposethe collective freakout the bay had because of trump is not an excuse, forced solidarity is not true solidarity.blaming those that mastered the system as siding with the supposed master, and subsequently complicit in the oppression of others is a truely distorted sense of reality.inequity does not racism make just because your woke guru said so. Allen originally wanted the name Horsepower for his band, but shortly after completing the new album's artwork they learned that name was already used. That was the prophet, Samuel giving marching orders to Israels first king, Saul. We should try to get all kids to make the admirable effort Asian kids, on average, do make. 1. Ive not been a fan of Collins. Black and brown people are leaving that were integral parts of our community. against Asian-American families. April 19, 2017 You learn about success by behavior. I dont even have kids, but after the school renaming debacle and the fact that schools are still closed after we put teachers at the front of the line for vaccines, I will vote against every incumbent on the ballot. Collins, forgetting to mute said to another board member, I am listening to a bunch of racists. They quickly follow that up with something along the lines of, on balance so and so wasnt such a bad person. However, it saw an abrupt end following the death of some of its members in an airplane crash that left Collins seriously injured. Blacks have every opportunity to prove as an individual they want to learn by sacrificing those hours. Many jobs are obtained through social networking, something non-Hispanic white people of considerable wealth engage in. It is true, we do NOT see Asian children in immigration dog cages and ripped away from their parents. I believe the members on the school board were trying to fight for equity for the communities of color. I expected at least a few paragraphs at the level of scholarship my 9th grader is using in his English assignments. And yet, Collins is digging in her heels, completely convinced that Asians are the evil ones for simply living and wanting to improve their lives. But it was also a political miscalculation. This is neither good nor pleasant company for Collins to find herself in. I have hereby decided that Herman Melvilles Moby Dick is a light comedia dellarte about the game of golf cool, okay, got it. First we should all compliment Joe Eskenazi on the best piece of journalistic writing in this whole crazy drama its not easy sorting it out and there arent too many players talking to reporters these days. All of them. Or do we think she is so awful she needs to go so we get someone better? Perhaps Ms. Collins was expecting too much of her audience to expect them to be familiar with Black History. I dont think you would agree either. It will require quite a bit of humility. Do I hate all races because a small subset of them said derogatory slurs to me? The opportunistic targeting of Commissioner Collins distracts from the national conversation around addressing Anti-API and Anti-Black hate. I think you are wrong, I think putting what she said in historical reference makes the whole house n***** reference make a lot more reasonable. The wedding is kind of a light page in the dark book of Collins's life. Which hurts all kids. Lowell gave a reward for hard work. Its the elephant in the room. She was born Abt. That said, I still cannot wrap my head around the belief of removing the merit system or teaching that wanting to work hard and persevere is succumbing to a White Supremacy belief and condemning entire communities for it. Collins was driven further into devastation and substance abuse. Pledge to care about kids as much as union reps or more in all policy. In essence she RESIGNED when her anti-trans policies came to light. What then is the difference if I cite crime statistics and call all Blacks felons and drug dealers? But instead of solidarity, this was the highest profile response by Chinese American parents to Black families at SFUSD: https://repository.uchastings.edu/faculty_scholarship/395/. I also think it was harder for the black community more than any other community because of systematic racism. Allen used the Tribute tour to go on stage and let his fans know the reason why he couldn't play with Skynyrd -- a powerful, sobering message few fans will forget. That is not textbook stereotyping racism. This is all written in love to achieve a more equitable and fair SFUSD. Wow those murals from George Washington high school in the linked article are like something out of the show Parks and Recreation. I must be obtuse, because I do not understand the double standard at play here. She is doing a dis-service to those kids. Who makes the plaid blue coat Jesse stone wears in Sea Change? A teacher walks into the Classroom and says If only Yesterday was Tomorrow Today would have been a Saturday Which Day did the Teacher make this Statement? Why dont you put her tweets in context by referencing the Malcolm X quote she was obviously referring to? This is why we cant have dialog about racial issues. This privilege is NOT afforded to Nigerians, Latinos, Trinidadians, Africans, Iranians but to Asians. When they got rid of 8th grade algebra in SFUSD 7 years ago the big claim was it would help black and Latino kids by not making them feel bad. high school for elementary school students, college for high school students, etc. There are a lot of hurt people and a lot of hurt communities. She wont do this because she is extremely narrow minded and hateful. Ever have one of those times where you forget what it was you were looking for when you got up but that it was really important that you write it down but by the time you find something to write with youve forgotten this importnt/juicy/sclerotic thought. I dont waste my time twittering, so I never saw an twitted death threats. Never mind about the subject at hand, you want to take the time to school people on YOUR situation and whatever situation Collins has experienced. Isnt that the point? Its antiracism to note if blacks studies as much as even low income Asians, racial inequality would end quickly. Ideally black kids will sacrifice everything possible timewise to prove they want to learn and are as smart and moral and hardworking as these immigrants. Are we reverting back to segregation? Times were very difficult since Allen's musical career barely brought in enough to support the Deferred gratification. And when. Her main mistake was in not realizing that her audience was ignorant and racist. Its very true that there are Asians from many different backgrounds and skin tones who also dont think in a monolithic way. The goal of integration is that poor performing kids with bad attitudes will learn success from high performing, high sacrificing kids of Tiger Parents. She should resign. What are the disadvantages of a clapper bridge? This has been their views, stance and position against Blacks and Latinos for decades. I want to know what really happened when I read a period account and the best way to do that is to be given that account in the language and understanding of the period of that account. No, she shouldnt have to walk you through anything. 2. Asian Americans are sick and tired of her belittling!!! It is not racist to state facts. 3. Hey @F*ckingTired the whole reason Lowell was elite was because of the admissions test. The injuries also limited the use of his upper body and arms. You said it- most asian americans do not harbor anti-black feelings. Both he and his girlfriend were airlifted to the hospital. It made it hard to get into. There is still no plan to bring back older students, the District will forfeit close to $20M because of it, and Collins is more concerned with herself than with educating the students. Casting hateful racist language at an entire group does. 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. Yeah, so some kind of accident happens to one of the kids. You live in your generational wealth bubble while putting minorities against each other. Kids who choose to study choose not to hang out, watch TV, talk, play video games, or go on social media. Collinss generalizations were clumsily phrased and overbroad, but her basic points are completely sound and backed by data from AAPI researchers who have studied attitudes about race in AAPI communities. Asians pay theirs. Also- the opposition to renaming schools is not nobody is perfect. One might understand how under current circumstances, that racist history might be downplayed while all responsibility for anything wrong cast, again, on Black and Brown commissioners and the students they represent by conservative Asian American west side families.
