In 1992 'all hell broke loose' in LA, but this time is different
By Emily Clark
In 1992 the National Guard was called into Los Angeles to help control widespread, destructive rioting. But right now those forces appear to be escalating the situation and some experts are warning it is all in the name of "political theatre".

"Chinese and Indigenous communities have shared histories. We faced hardships together while mining for gold in the British Columbia gold rush and experiencing the rugged Canadian weather and terrain.
There are many graves on First Nations territories when Chinese people died from the flu and from the building of the railway, crushed by landslides, collapsing tunnels and premature blastings (Mittelstedt, 2014). The First Nations communities took in the Chinese railroad workers and care for their grave sites to this day (Mittelstedt, 2014). We enjoyed economic success and partnerships that were respectful and mutually beneficial (Ma, 2012). Chinese people leased lands (on First Nations) to farm and then hired Indigenous people to help farm the land (Mathur et al., 2011, p. 74). The Chinese built elaborate gold-mining operations among First Nations communities and perhaps most importantly our communities intermingled and there were many marriages between Chinese men and Indigenous women. In 1891, 98% of Chinese people in Canada lived in British Columbia (Barman, 2013, p. 1), which explains why there are such intimate ties between Chinese people and our First Nations communities in British Columbia. Unsurprisingly, one in six Chinese men created a family with a local Indigenous woman (Barman, 2013, p. 1)."

During my time in Cali, I'll be training filipino martial arts with some folks at Bruce's Beach. I'd never heard of this beach before, and looked it up -- and wow, I'd never heard this history before, either. It's a bit of a travesty to have grown up around here without truly understanding the artifacts and stories that make up my hometown.
TLDR: it was one of the first black-accessible beaches in Cali, before the city took it over via eminent domain under the egregious pretense of wanting to build a city park.

The #HeritageFoundation's #Project2025 has faced an upsurge in scrutiny for its blueprint to transform the entire federal government into a #RightWing army to do #DonaldTrump's bidding, including ending the #independence of the #JusticeDepartment and allowing any nonpartisan worker who won't back the agenda to be fired at will. But less attention has been focused on the project's detailed plans on #RaceRelations.
Originating from tales of #Japanese & #Vietnamese prostitutes seducing US soldiers during #WW2 & the #VietnamWar, it is the fantasy that #AsianWomen are quiet, submissive, yet sexually promiscuous. In short, a #misogynist’s wet dream.
This idea that #AsianWomen would gracefully embrace male dominance whilst being an exotic sex toy spread like an epidemic, hence the name #YellowFever.
