Attacks build fear among refugees in Syracuse [Blacks beat up Burmese and Bhutanese refugees]
Syracuse Post-Standard ^ | July 14, 2009 | Jennifer Thompson

Posted on 09/20/2009 1:01:06 PM PDT by Lorianne

Eight men attacked Hari Rizai while he was walking on Syracuse's North Side. The attack landed the 22-year-old in the emergency room with swollen eyes and blood gushing from his nose.

Six men attacked two brothers, Ganga and Taro Odari, on Lodi Street. One man pulled out a knife; another punched the brothers in the face and head.

Ten teens pushed Star Toe, 51, to the ground while trying to steal his 9-year-old son's bike. They spat on his wife, Kyi Toe, when she tried to retrieve their son's bike. "We feel angry," Kyi Toe said. "We're scary. We're afraid to walk alone."

These Burmese and Bhutanese refugees and others say they are under attack on the city's North Side. Some people throw rocks at them, and refugee children say they sometimes are attacked when they get off the school bus or ride their bikes or skateboards. Refugees say they are afraid to walk the streets alone.

While the MSM, Pelosi et al and the left is busy slandering the "violent, racist, nazi" Tea Partiers, this kind of thing is going on without a peep.

Be sure to read the comments.

Asians are not members of the politically correct victim class, refugee or not.

Under liberalism, African Americans have the “right” to beat up any Asian they see.

People need to learn to get beat up if you plan to live in ObamaNation. If it wasn’t these thugs, it would have been some knuckledraggers from some union.

Will the civil rights establishment condemn these racist incidents? Unlikely.

These Burmese and Bhutanese refugees

From what, I'm sorry they got beat up but I see no reason for them to be here.

I don’t know why they’re here but that’s a separate issue.

I want to know why the MSM hasn’t been reporting this REAL violence instead of harping on some make-believe potential violence among Tea Party participants.

"... I'm sorry they got beat up but I see no reason for them to be here. "

I think the reason they're here has something to do with their future probable voting tendencies.

There won’t be any media coverage until one or more of the victims decide to stop being victims and arm themselves.

Actually Asian immigrants tend to go conservative.

John Derbyshire came up with the notion that liberals and the MSM (but I repeat myself) divide all people into two categories: members of designated victim groups (DVGs) and members of designated oppressor groups (DOGs).

They are eternally vigilant for any violence by a DOG against a DVG, denouncing it as evidence of the inherent bigotry of American society. Violence by a DVG against a DVG is usually reported with an overtone of, “serves them right.”

Violence by a DVG against another DVG is not reported at all. Doesn’t fit into their paradigm. Maybe if they ignore it, it will go away.

This analysis ignores the way certain individuals can be slotted into either a DVG or DOG, depending on circumstances.

Mostly Christian, they are being killed of by the HAn-Chinese sponsered thugs that run Burma.

A quick check of the web shows
(snip)
A man from Burma’s Karen ethnic group sits cross-legged on the floor of the small thatched hut he shares with eight others in the Mae La refugee camp in Thailand. His eyes look tired as he tells his story.

“When they came to my village, there was no warning,” he says. “They just started shooting. We ran into the fields, but we could hear them killing and torturing our animals. They poked out the animals’ eyes and let them walk around before they killed them. But the saddest thing is, one old women was not strong enough to carry her two orphaned grandchildren when we ,,,,(snip)

Stories like this. Also, SoF magazine has articles covering the near-genocide in Burma. Even India is taking in these people.

I have dealt with Asians, I have dealt with Hispanics and I have dealt with Blacks. IMHO importing slaves were the worst short term and long term act the Americans ever made.. We should have imported the railroad workers, domestic servants, laundry workers, vegetable gardeners instead. Today we would have a frugal, well to do upper middle class that is well educated, Confucious based family value system and offer high tech skills then dealing with crime, depravity and give us entitlements or else rabble.

“Under liberalism, African Americans have the ‘right’ to beat up any Asian they see.”

I’m sick and tired of the term “African American,” or any other hyphenated American. We are either Americans or we are not. Hyphenation is division, hence to “ - “ sign. I hate political correctness with every fiber of my being, as it was instrumental in destroying my beloved America.

South Salina Street in Syracuse is a hell hole.

Even my liberal democrat relatives avoid that part of the city.
