I saw a thing that said “Chinese lives matter.” And the truth is that I’m just never going to be comfortable with non black people appropriating black resistance. My friends and family are actively afraid for me when I wear my Black Lives Matter paraphernalia, the same cannot he said for any other version of that slogan. There’s just something very insidious about appropriating black resistance, even if it’s for other types of resistance.

And there's that aspect of them not creating their own awareness but feeling that it's appropriate to lay claim to our own movements

This belief that anything we have is free to be bent and moulded to fit anyone's agenda as they see fit.

Made even more insidious by how much non black people of color expressly support and benefit from anti black racism. So when I see non black whose cultures consistantly uphold and participate in anti black racism, whether they be Chinese, native, Indian, Japanese, white lgbt, or otherwise, it’s extremely frustrating. To see people who called for the death of black lives matter activists then reappropriate the slogan is infuriating.

Also like, people need to differentiate between working class chinese americans/immigrants in america facing discrimination, and wealthy chinese people/china as a state. Because china and chinese immigrants are colonizing the fuck out of africa and latin america rn. Not only that but chinese oligarchs are contributing to the homelessness crisis by hoarding their wealth in american apartments in cities. So it adds more to the sting of appropriating black resistance. These people are antiblack as hell.

did you fire your entire low level staff or did you give them paid days off to stay home?

... and by fire I mean did you take them off the schedule and "promise" to call them as soon as hours were available or did you just outright tell them you "couldn't afford" to keep them on staff and unfortunately you had to "let them go".

did you in any way fight to make sure that your nonsalaried staff would be taken care of financially during that time or did you just make plans to hire new bodies as soon as you could resume business as usual?
