Rapper, China Mac called people together in Seth Low Park today after an elderly Asian woman was hit and set on fire. He called the event #TheyCantBurnUsAll.
China Mac
Response from politicians in the area was poor – just a few words on social media like it didn’t matter.
IF THEIR GRANDMOTHER WAS SET ON FIRE, WOULD THEY WANT SOME CHEAP WORDS ON SOCIAL MEDIA? Councilamn Mark Treyger, Senator Andrew Gounardes and Assemblyman Bill Colton didn’t do the right thing here. Someone is set on fire – take some kind of action!
The concerned crowd marched to show the community this is important.
China Mac named the event as #TheyCantBurnUsAll
After the park, they walked to the police precinct. China Mac wants this labeled as a hate crime. See here
A lot of people spoke in front of the precinct. Some spoke about the incident and Asian racism being normalized. One man invited people to come up and speak their grievances. Some people spoke about Black Lives Matter because they were born here and have seen racism all of their lives. The police officers of the 62nd precinct stayed still as the people protested.
As always, I am glad it was a peaceful march. I saw Antifa mention the march on Twitter today and I was like, “oh noooo, not again.” (See here)
