A Korean drumming group plays at the Yellow and Brown Folks United for Black Lives protest in Los Angeles' Koreatown neighborhood on June 6.The legacy — and lessons — of the 1992 uprisings also inspired the activist Tyson Suzuki, who is half-Japanese and half-Black. For the past month, he has led daily political education sessions outside City Hall, where he frequently discusses what happened in 1992 and draws connections between past and present.
"If we're not white, we're a marginalized race as a whole — the Black community just so happens to see more violent acts towards them than any other racial group when it comes to police," he said."It's understanding that but also engaging in conversations about community policing and restorative justice."Some organizers say the Korean community is still holding on to trauma from 1992.
So Kim, along with fellow organizers Cat Yang and Alan Antonio, created a group called Ktown 4 Black Lives and planned a June 6 solidarity protest in Koreatown called Yellow and Brown Folks United for Black Lives. They envisioned that the protest would be a place for people to discuss trauma stemming from the 1992 uprising and to get educated on how to move forward.
Learning from the 1992 uprising, the Ktown 4 Black Lives organizers wanted a space that would include all communities in Koreatown, including Latinos, who make up over half the neighborhood's population.
Looting is now called uprisings
Why would Asians want to support BLM? Asians don't want their property destroyed. Asians prove hard work usually translates to success in this land of opportunity.
