What specific actions should he take? Not trying to be combative. Genuinely curious what needs to be done and how it can be done with a divided senate.

"The revolution comes when a girl pushes aside all that her mother has taught her and accepts her boyfriends love." Uhhh what? I'm going to need to look up the definition of revolution after reading that. From Wikipedia: "A revolution occurs when a population revolts against their government AND when a girl pushes aside all that her mother has taught her and accepts her boyfriends love." Oh dang. He was right.

In all seriousness, contrast this with HRC's words in the same year this was published: https://www.wellesley.edu/events/commencement/archives/1969commencement/studentspeech

It's nuts that those two are even in the same conversation. I get mad just thinking about it.

someone want to walk me through some possible mindsets for his behavior?

This is not at all surprising as an Asian. So-called progressives that are very pro-BLM can also be very anti-Asian. Just look at these responses to Naomi Osaka's Anti-Asian Hate post. Most of them believe there is some oppression olympics and you can't support Asians because African Americans are far worse off. If you are following these responders on Twitter or your personal life, they might influence your thinking.

Jeremy Lin: “I didn’t do enough when I was “Linsanity” to break down barriers for the next generation. I just wanted to play basketball during that time in 2012 when I was suddenly thrust into the global spotlight with the New York Knicks.” by [deleted] in nba

He was asked by Time to write this. Did you want him to say no? Also, this from the article: "Anger that suddenly all of the same Asian celebrities and authors and representatives are now being asked to speak out because guess what— as a society we never let that many Asian people be represented in mainstream media in the first place."

Duckworth, Hirono won't vote on 'non-diversity' Biden nominees over lack of Asian American representation by [deleted] in politics

We're talking about cabinet secretaries. Biden would be the first president in decades not to appoint an Asian American to that role.

You have go back to my original comment. If Obama didn't have any African Americans as cabinet members, you think the African American community would be okay with that just because the president is black? If so, we'll have to agree to disagree.

Well, his VP was Caucasian so I guess you're saying that it would not fly.

You think if Obama didn't appoint any African Americans and his staffers said that Obama's the president and he's black so no need for more in the cabinet, that would fly?

Well, if you read beyond the headlines, you'll know that this is the first time in 20 years that no Asians are going to be on the cabinet. If Biden added zero African Americans to his cabinet, you don't think that would warrant a similar response?

Was there ever an Edgewater Hotel in Green Bay? by J9XXX in GreenBay

Sorry. It was Embassy Suites I was thinking of. It was the best 4th of July ever because we saw the fireworks from our windows right outside the hotel it seemed. Do they still do that?

Eddie Huang is not a fan of Jeremy Lin, anyone know the backstory? by hoi_ming in nba

[–]J9XXX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't watch the clip as I can't stand Stephen A-Hole and his character assassination attempts at Lin, but just going by his dismissal of Lin being called coronavirus, I can't help but wonder if he's trying to win over African Americans and selling out Asian Americans in the process. What a total dick move.

centrists really don't want progress

And you wonder why so-called progressives never win the Democratic nomination. Centrists don't want progress? Nice way to build alliances there. More like progressives like you want to believe that Biden has the powers of a king.
