Asian hate is OUR problem (Also this time we have to condemn Lil Nas X)
April 03, 2021 15:00 - 37 minutes - 34.4 MBThe problem with Asian hate is not limited to white Americans. Yes, this present wave of attacks and reprehensible behavior started the moment former president Donald Trump sent the hashtags #chinavirus & #kungflu, demonstrating childish behavior, but it is surprising who else is participating in this orgy of racial violence and has not been mentioned in the media. Also, this time Lil Nas X went too far! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kenrick-rampersad/message
