Lebronwon 03/22/21 3:27:00 PM #1:	https://www.weareresonate.com/2021/03/john-oliver-says-joe-biden-racist-for-calling-atlanta-shooting-against-asians-un-american/ John Oliver has said it was racist for President Biden to call the Atlanta shooting un-American. Last week, eight women, six of whom were Asian, were shot and killed on Tuesday evening in the Buckhead neighborhood of northeast Atlanta. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki cited Trumps damaging rhetoric for contributing to anti-Asian bias, following the shooting. Biden also condemned the shooting as wrong and un-American. On Sundays episode of Last Week Tonight, Oliver took aim at the President, saying his remarks were racist. I am really glad that he condemned hate crimes against Asians there but to say they are un-American, I would love to visit the nation that exists in Joe Bidens head, Oliver said. Because its a place where racism is not who we are and racist attacks against Asians are somehow un-American despite the fact and far be it for me to explain this to someone who seems like hes lived through most of American history anti-Asian racism has long been a fact of American life. Oliver added, not only are attacks against Asians very much American, so is denying that theyre racist. And our long, ugly history of Anti-Asian racism is the very reason why, just last year, many were loudly warning that Trump calling Covid names like the China virus was likely to lead to a rise in violence against people of Asian descent, an argument that at the time, not everyone seemed to find convincing. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:951991849] in John Olive...

Lost_All_Senses 03/22/21 3:35:49 PM #15:	Calling something someone did racist and calling someone racist should be 2 different things. I feel like we'd get further into conversations. Not gonna lie, a youtuber pointed this out to me and it made too much sense. The difference should be in how intentional it is. Kind of like how we all do hypocritical stuff, yet only some people are considered hypocrites when they are a huge offender. I'm not speaking on this case specifically, just in general. It just seems like you're trying to throw someone away instead of help fix their behavior. --- Name checks out "Try to talk and they ain't listening, but they'll point it out when you get ignorant" - Dreezy <cite>Lost_All_Senses posted [p:951992172] in John Olive...
