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.

A racist has no role on making policy decisions where 50% of students are Asian Pacific Islander. vote to remove the merit-based entrance system at Lowell High School. For instance, if the racist slave owner decides he wants to scapegoat someone for spreading the some Kung-Flu, the house negro will conveniently serve as the whipping boy to which the field negros attention will focused upon and away from the master.

Latino kids went from 7 to 12% over 10 years based on increased study hours. Its the foundational values and morals (rather than entitlement, blame, and bringing standards down) instilled in these kids that propel them to 95% graduation rate from SFUSDnot White Supramacy values. Switch out Asian Am with African Am and read it again. Both were 1st in their families to go to college. I dont know you, you dont know me. Black kids study less than whites, are 4 years behind in reading by 12th grade, 5 behind Asians, and parents are less likely to teach the kids to read. Asians pay theirs. It is racism, it is inflammatory, and it is not appropriate for someone responsible for children she is clearly racist towards.

Otherwise they were used to attack and brazenly. If an Asian person internalizes the model minority stereotypes, they will have proven to the real whites in charge they are worthy. The school district and Board of Education are presently staving off a lawsuit filed by the City Attorney regarding those sclerotic reopening plans. As for Alison Collins, she never should have used the model minority and field vs house servants analogies they are hurtful to all groups, unnecessary, as she could have made her points without these references.

(Claiming that Lowell or charter schools cream the best students isnt a knock on the STUDENTS; its a knock on the claim that the SCHOOLS are what make these students elite. believe they benefit from the model minority BS. Collins continued in 2016. Sorry, you simply do not understand these terms as they are used by people who think about and discuss race as a living,. It can be perceived as racism. All I see are Latino and Afro Latino and children in these dog cages mistreated. This is a moment we can seize and use to heal and grow.

I find it intriguing that I havent seen a simple point anywhere. WebLarkin Allen Collins Jr. (July 19, 1952 January 23, 1990) was one of the founding members and guitarists of Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, and co-wrote many of the I expected at least a few paragraphs at the level of scholarship my 9th grader is using in his English assignments. My wish is for all minority communities to have each others back. I agree with your conclusion. Like something out of a Hollywood parody about hillbullies. What is happening here is very sad. There is no white supremist mentality here just hard work! We should hold up any group who studies hard and get others to be more like them, including Nigerian Americans. Seriously? Asians believe they are so damn smart, they can figure out something based on what they already know. He explained to the police that he was notified that his wife was one of the fatalities and he wanted to go to her. In closing and the truth is, who really continues to really be discriminated here, they are BLACK and Latinos in this county and city, they continue to be KILLED and DISCRIMINATED by the police and society its a fact. have more self respect!! This city has been very unfair to minorities with the gentrification of many neighborhoods and the exuberant rents. I supported the intent behind the renaming, but they bungled the politics in a ridiculous step-on-rake way. The mayor has the power to And to add more insult, she then suggests our accomplishments in America are false, that we are still only the help because we use white supremacy to get ahead, based on her opinion that Asians were too silent for her political liking in 2016. 1. Do you think people went-oh theyre black(NEXT) like that? 1822. 1802 in TN. Skynyrd received international recognition for popularizing Southern rock genre during the 1970s. Very interesting and informative to read this article and all the comments. Thanks again. 3. They all need to go. Ms. Collins demands that others agree to her bizarre premises before she will have a conversation with them. I have heard this from teachers (at other schools). Parents who feel entitled to a private school education paid for by tax payers are behind this push to recall Collins and other BOE members.

They have to study 10,000 more hours over a childhood than now and spend 10,000 hours less relaxing. Urge all African American kids to admire and learn from the sacrifice of 10,000 hours over a childhood Asian Americans make over whites, and do make any sacrifice to emulate them and study those hours to eliminate poverty. Her presumable primary audience for these tweets was other activists, and this is reflected in the language she used; shes paraphrasing a Malcolm X speech and shes using terms that come directly from CRT and related schools of thought. Literally dozens of comments decrying Collins racism and then talking about the only thing holding back black students is their work ethic. We are the ones weve been waiting for. Dont even try to justify racist, misdirected hate coming from a school board member. Rather, what I am *not* sure of is that Lowell students would not do equally well for themselves in a different system in which Lowell did not exist. I am just a black gay reader from cleveland with no children. Sign in with a password below, or sign in using your email. She hurt thousands of Asian Families by destroying Lowell, and many girls who study longer hours than boys. In the mid to late 1980s (as well as before and since), the UC system, especially UC Berkeley, experienced a similar concern about the over-representation of Asians. Im skeptical. She has actively pursued policies that specifically hurt Asian American children more than any other group. Time is beyond up for Washington, Lincoln and all the troubling individuals after whom some SFUSD schools are named. Feinstein is being cancelled and the school name will be removed. Hard working vs lazy. 1805. Someone or some system has to be there to nurture that success. 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. As soon as she had saved enough money, she surprised Allen by taking him down to Sears and ordered his first Silvertone guitar and amplifier. That alone should disqualify her from a public service position. Subscribe to our daily newsletter and have the latest stories from Mission Local delivered directly to your inbox. I mean this high school is in the company of expensive, independent high schools. This is what Collins is pointing out.

There was the vote to remove the merit-based entrance system at Lowell High School. https://youtu.be/PuGkVzeh4zM If you stay married even if not getting along, dedicate yourself to your kids, study 10,000 hours more than average, eat well, avoid drugs, marry before kids, do workbooks and flashcards and long hours of reading and grammar study, the content of your character is good, no matter your race. Spend 5 hours meeting with Geoffrey Canada and learning why charter schools, which dont support the union, get great results for black kids thriving in school and exiting poverty. There is no nuance or context that excuses calling any group of people hateful slurs. Even when Gary Rossington and Dale Krantz quit the Rossington Collins Band, Allen continued on forming the Allen Collins Band in 1983. I see a lot of ineffective boomer and millennial staff in our school board in cleveland heights and yet they are able to retire and keep getting nice salaries because they dont speak on social media about real racial issues. And the fact it happened two years before she was elected would seem to be no different than James Licks foundation giving money to build a racist sculpture 18 years after he died. 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. That shouldnt stop anyone from calling it out where it does exist, but the essential point here is that she implicated an entire community in this harmful characterization based solely on their race. Collins is not only a racist, but she and her defenders are agressive, condencending racista. Who are people suspected of laziness because their average family wealth is about a 10th of that of white families? Ive not been a fan of Collins. The next Board of Education meeting is slated for 3 p.m. today, and it remains to be seen how good and pleasant that will be. I read Take out of context, nuance, need to read Malcom X, blah, blah, blah. White supremacy and whiteness is the ideology which defines who is white who supports whiteness. The goal of integration is that poor performing kids with bad attitudes will learn success from high performing, high sacrificing kids of Tiger Parents. This is a status bestowed upon Asian-Americans in relation to African-Americans. Based on her actionsnot just with these tweets, but in all the board meetings, in person, and on social mediashes someone who believes her perspective is the correct one, naysayers be damnned. You said it- most asian americans do not harbor anti-black feelings. However, then she started stereotyping an entire community as being less than woke. She referenced Trump, no political figure in this country can get away with what Trump does. As we all know, and you wrote about so well, the list of 44 had some rather dubious additions. Shes just sorry she got caught. She didnt call them the n word. The right wing in San Francisco is rampaging full spectrum, YIMBY, schools, DA, while the passive progressives are busied selling out the citizenry for their nonprofits, screwing grass movement progressive left movements, and parsing faux pas in political class court discourse. One final parable, as the emperor has now been revealed as wearing no clothes. 5. Does she have a place in mind where she would prefer Asians to live and go to school? Why is it that racism coming from the left complicated while racism from the right is clear as day? Learn More{{/message}}, {{#message}}{{{message}}}{{/message}}{{^message}}It appears your submission was successful. Calling out racism is not racist. I should not be feeling what I feel because I do not understand the concept of white supremecy. Do not denigrate the curiosity, dedication, assiduous work ethic, talent of these Lowell students. 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. This is DISCRIMINATION and RACISM at its finest. i know i cant change peoples warped perception Black kids will attain equality by not having resentment, putting their heads down and working very, very hard. Look at all the time and energy being spent on Collins, rather than on the students. And as the Black and brown populations threatened to politically overwhelm white supremacy, Asians began to be included in the functional definition of white under the model minority myth in the 80/90s while the door was slammed shut by the aging white former majority on the emerging rainbow minority here in CA via Prop 13 with implications for public schools. Many blacks teach their kids that America being the land of opportunity is just a bunch of bullshit, but the experience of Asian and Nigerian Americans proves its not bullshit, and if we can convince blacks to behave better (study 15-20 hours a week, work full time, pay attention in class, learn proper grammar, dont have kids before marriage, dont do drugs, save and dont blow money, do workbooks and flashcards summers), then the poverty of African Americans will soon be over, because whites are not discriminating against them. Some will agree with you, and others wont. She was using the term House N***** as a euphemism for Model Minority. The Asian cop during the George Floyd murder said NOTHING and did NOTHING to stop the murder from taking place, he is an accessory to MURDER, a MURDER to a man of color, need it say more.

The slaves that worked in the home were less likely to push for abolishing the system because they did not see much wrong with it, but the master could always relegated them to hard labor. So, I shouldnt be surprised at this backyard fence full of screaming magpies gaining mutual pleasure from hurting someone. If there's one band that inspired the overused, mildly annoying tradition of yelling "Free Bird" at the encore of random concerts, it's Lynyrd Skynyrd. Together. I have a nonwhite wife and kids and have been a minority most of my life, nearly all of my friends are nonwhite, mostly black and Latino. Thats incredibly cruel! I worked with Plaintiffs Employment lawyers who would comment on how surprisingly educated their clients were. Lowell students have been recognized for their achievement because they work hard for them. Whats even more sickening is that in Atlanta the recent shooting and at the scene of the shooting, a Latino male named Mario Gonzalez who is Mexican was stereotyped, detained and handcuffed by Atlanta police for hours. Alison Collins did not return our calls or texts. Why dont you put her tweets in context by referencing the Malcolm X quote she was obviously referring to? If Ms. Collins wants to give me a call and walk me through it, she has my number. Here's a little bit about the tragic life of Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist and founding member Allen Collins. 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. It made it hard to get into. I hope that we can move on from this saga as a city. 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. If America is unfair and racist, the goal is to destroy it and start over. Do we agree her lawsuit is offensive and completely self-defeating? I just listened to his whole speech today for the first time. It didnt take much to get on that list, even if the action didnt actually happen. She should be teaching kids nonwhite immigrants from 70 nations and 30 African Nation out-earn whites within a generation. a bunch of racists. telling me to read more books or stop commenting. Collins, in her tweets, recounts her own lived experience and that of her daughters. All those who signed on to Yees letter are sickened? This ideology wants all excellence to be flattened. The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have. And studying hard to get ahead in society is not white supremacist thinking. Or is your advocacy just for show? Its a small subset. And then, its defended unapologetically by Collins and the rest of the Board, and said historical context, nuance were not going to used in the judgements. We also are subjected to covert discrimination, and recent events like 9/11 or the pandemic, remind us that we have to be vigilant. Obama got elected by saying any man who abandons his kids and doesnt marry the pregnant mother of his kids and try to be the best dad he can be and help teach his kids is a lowlife, and you can never be so poor you can watch TV with your kids but cant possibly study. His asst principal is an Asian immigrant and when he explains that someone was not insulting her, they were just using an idiom. I believe the members on the school board were trying to fight for equity for the communities of color. She should submit it someplace where it can be more broadly shared. Ask her to look around before she insults us again. She is no longer a private citizen but a public official. Collins used a combination of drugs and alcohol to self-medicate as he tried to cope with significant trauma in his life both from the plane crash and the loss of his beloved wife. ), and give students what they REALLY need to excel instead of HANDICAPPING the education system. beauty in diversity, just learn to coexist. i hope her Heres the latest: Lam and Moliga will introduce a resolution on Thursday calling for fellow member Alison Collins to be removed as vice president and stripped of all of her committee assignments.. A community forum, pass the mic around, have Ms. Collins sit with those she hurt and be part of the solution. At a press conference denouncing the threats, there was no Jenny Lam, no Norman Yee, no Phil Ting, no David Chiu, no Sandra Fewer, no Jane Kim. And that definitely happened here. Keep this sort of stuff in museums or cultural centers, not places extended consistent work/ education. The problem with her Tweets is that we are now in 2021, not 2016. Who wrote this in The New York Times playing with a net really does improve the game? His children Allison and Amy what you see today- a disturbing number of anti-asian. Or is this move just to place more pressure on Collins to resign? The accomplished AAPI is a doctor. Eliminating 8th grade algebra was cruel. Because even her ideological allies see where this could go: This could be the French Laundry moment for the nascent recall attempt of Collins and fellow commissioners Faauuga Moliga and Gabriela Lpez. Allen Collins married Kathy John in 1970. Minority businesses in big cities thrived. I have two kids in SFUSD and seeing so little African American kids in the district is very sad and made me think what is it like for those kids that are so much in the minority.

It paid off; I have a great career (a woman in a technology field! She said simply (and I will never forget it because it keeps being so true) well, you know theyre really rather stupid, and that always catches up to them.. Im not an expert, Latina, 1st gen, mestiza, grew up poor monolingual household, single parent, for whatever thats worth. This just confirms that its ok for an Asian woman to pay to erect a billboard that depicted a racist scene and make racist comments but when a woman of color that is constitutionally protected gives her freedom of speech, the towns people are screaming for her blood. Collins has been judged guilty of using currently non-PC correlatives in her vernacular. Sorry, you simply do not understand these terms as they are used by people who think about and discuss race as a living, and should either read some books about the subject so you know what youre talking about or stop commenting. Furthermore, we want to highlight and remember how API and Black communities have historically and are currently working together in solidarity with each other against white racism. However, while the school district is 40% Asian American, not all Asian Americans thrive academically. The rich private schools wont lower their standards.

So when someone uses the term House N*****, instead of getting offended like an over-entitled douche (aka model minority), you ask, why would she say that about Asian people? what exactly is the context behind that? whats the history behind that? Then go look it up, read some books and learn something new to which you can contribute back to the community. But, regardless of the political intentions of the Lowell partisans and recall folks who got this ball rolling there are plenty of awkward-at-best comments about Black people to be found on the Internet, and the married couple pushing the Board of Education recall went on race-bating conspiracy-theorist Glenn Becks program the tweets say what they say. 1826. She has to go. Nope. Its very true that there are Asians from many different backgrounds and skin tones who also dont think in a monolithic way. Of course not. This material was quickly seeded into the mainstream media, where headlines simply and unambiguously described Collins tweets as racist. Calls for her ouster grew deafening and, separate and apart from the content of those tweets, a city leaders decision on what to say about Collins soon became a political calculation. Theres no such thing as white people. She isnt sorry at all. Collins should go because her ideology unchanged since her tweets doesnt help students to actually get ahead. There are more than 5,300 universities and colleges in the United States. AIPAC is the America Israel Public Affairs Committee that is the lobbying arm of the Israeli government in the US. Half of the people ranting here are doing so because they have no familiarity with the world of scholarship about race and no willingness to try to understand it, and the other half (like the one youre responding to) are racist wingnuts whove clicked over directly from the Breitbart/NYPost comments section purely for the purpose of posting rambling unreadable screeds about how critical race theory is the devil. Which teacher did she report it to? If I study hard to get ahead, Im using white supremist thinking? Joe was born in San Francisco, raised in the Bay Area, and attended U.C. The only thing I can say to all of this rhetoric you wrote I hope you have proof to support some of the self observational comments you have listed as to the reasoning why Blacks children/students are not at a higher academic level as other children. What about the black and latino kids that do go to Lowell-how did they make it? San Francisco is such a beautiful and diverse city. If you want more diversity at Lowell, you should focus on the elementary schools to make sure all kids get the same opportunities and levels of education. So lets just say its not racelets just say she said there are too many kids that like toasted sandwiches at this school. 7. The wedding is kind of a light page in the dark book of Collins's life. That could be the reason I was the only person in town to publish the Mohammed Cartoons (which I thought were dull). The goal of these people like Collins and Lopez is to destroy what America stands for. She blabbers on and on about microaggressions and systemic racism against Black members of our community, while being utterly clueless about her own microaggressions (and systemic racismever notice how few of the hardworking students, by whom her children feel threatened and who are denounced as docile and not suited for leadership positions, end up in high level positions in the US???) Its not always about racism. 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. If there are any that have tried to stand up against the majority on these issues, let me know. If she had Id be open to restoration. Collins is the only Black woman on the school board (though these tweets were written two years before her election). Again, colloquial speech as it were. This distinction by ethnicity is bizarre to me. Allison was injured as a baby when her I took him up on it and got a Blue Bottle siphon. I can also promise you that if a Black male were at the scene, he too would have been stereotyped, detained and gunned down by the police, no questions asked. accident. This is bullshit.. MB, you cant just get offended when anyone discusses work and accuse them of thinking blacks are lazy. Whats more, casual monolingual Chinese voters would not be able to distinguish this strategically appealing, manufactured name from a Chinese candidates actual name.
