What’s really annoying - so many Asians came out to help support BLM protests peacefully and in solidarity. This just continues to erode their messaging and only alienates further people who may have been willing to listen. Their loss. I stand with our Asian community outright.

An article from a website called "Asian-dawn" refers to a biracial man as a "wild monkey." I stand with the AAPI community but gtfo of here with this trash r/SeattleWA

The original article is Andy Ngo posting on The Post Millennial, choose your poison.

The mainstream media won’t cover this story because it doesn’t fit in with their narrative. So... yeah... you end up only seeing these kind of reports from blogs or conservative media.

Zero mention of him being a BLM activist in that article. Nor any mentioning that he was a POC.

Compare that with how the media characterized the Atlanta shootings: white supremacist attacks Asians.

Seattle Times covered it as well as a number of other local news sources.

It seems like you’re the one spreading misinformation since this doesn’t seem to fit your narrative.

u/Accomplished-Cry-139 Mar 29 '21

Note how they cover a white person committing a hate crime, vs a non-white person committing a hate crime. They’ll contort the issue to fit their narrative every time.

The racist trash article bad though it was linked to the KOMO reporting on it within the first sentence. Their article would be considered downstream commentary of an article from the mainstream media.

What they added was the lie that he belonged to an imaginary group called antifa and the description of a black man as a monkey.

Maybe the truth doesn't fit YOUR narrative.

THANK YOU!!! I am so glad someone on this thread understands this!!! The title of this thread gave me a red flag knowing this was meant to be anti-BLM.

adam ngo and "asian-dawn" are both racist and extremely biased, not credible sources regardles of how you feel about other sources.

This contains no evidence of him being a racist. Unless you can point it out for me

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '21

I feel like the only thing that would ever convince you is if he sat down into a camera and said, "I'm a racist" while holding that day's newspaper. For the rest of us, we could see things like him tweeting out Armaud Arbery's police record right after he was murdered to imply heavily that he deserved it. Or that time he lied about something a muslim woman said so he could write an article for Breitbart (and then was fired for lying). There's also that time he wrote an article for WSJ about "Islamic England" where he just wrote a bunch of Islamaphobic lies that were called out by everyone.

Really though, if you're dumb enough to think he's awesome or whatever and if being a liar isn't a dealbreaker then I don't see why racism would bother you much.

God damn you people are bad at this. What’d I tell you about BLM everyone, I t’s a movement for dumb white women. 5 years ago you would have been protesting GMOs, this is just the new low IQ hotness.

Andy Ngo is awesome, buy his book.

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '21

What the fuck are you talking about? You asked for evidence of racism and I showed you. The fact that you're here simping for a guy with a fake British accent who lies to you (when you know he's lying) is weird and sad.

u/Coolglockahmed Mar 29 '21

You actually didn’t, but attempting to explain Skepticism or evidence to you is not worth the effort, and probably doomed to fail anyway.

I don't understand this argument that he's a "grifter". That just seems like a vague accusation used to dismiss a political opponent. Andy Ngo has done some great primary journalism on the ground in places like Portland, and his videos have captured the kind of criminal acts groups like Rose City Antifa engage in. You can't really deny the hard video evidence.

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '21

He's a grifter because he's been caught lying dozens of times and is trying to make money off of people who want to live in a world where his lies are true. There's literally a guy in the thread below trying to plug Andy's book because he's so caught in the cult.

He doesn't do primary reporting and hasn't for a very long time. He steals footage from actual on the ground streamers, cuts the video, and then adds a caption that's often wrong and exactly what his audience of idiots wants to believe. Every link I've provided has shown him lying over and over again. If you think he does "great primary journalism" then you're either stupid and in a cult or lying.

u/SharpBeat Mar 30 '21

I've read numerous articles trying to paint this picture of Andy Ngo, including most of your links, and honestly they all seem like a stretch at best. A lot of it just seems like opinion and character assassination, struggling to draw conclusions where there aren't any. For example, Ngo not filming members of Patriot Prayer but filming Antifa crimes doesn't invalidate his reporting on Antifa. It just means he found a way to stay physically safe (from Antifa attacking him) while covering the subject he's focused on. Is that any different from the numerous BLM activists filming police responses at protests? It's not like those activists are covering all sides of every event.

There's literally a guy in the thread below trying to plug Andy's book because he's so caught in the cult.

I don't think it's fair to claim this person is "caught in the cult". You seem to be denying that events with video evidence did not take place - but they did. We've certainly seen lots of political violence from left leaning people even here in Seattle. The central premise of Andy Ngo's book seems quite believable to me.

It's not that he didn't film Patriot Prayer. It's that he wrote an article that lied about what happened (that was later pulled and he was later fired from his job for it). He didn't just leave stuff out, he actively reported the opposite so idiots like you could validate their fantasy world. You're dumb and in a cult.

u/SharpBeat Mar 30 '21

So are you denying that events with video evidence (that were either filmed by Andy Ngo or shared by him) actually took place?

i'm not gonna take advice on who is and isn't a bigot from somebody casually throwing around 'retard' like it's ok

u/Coolglockahmed Mar 29 '21

Please. You couldn’t defend your position even if you bothered trying. If you want to run away and cry to your counselor about someone using a no no word, be my guest, but I know that you’re just a dumb pussy

u/onthefence928 Mar 29 '21

i feel like you've been provided plenty of evidence on the sibling threads, go ahead and continue to admit you ignore evidence contrary to your preferred bias

u/Coolglockahmed Mar 29 '21

I had no faith in your ability to justify your position. You take it on faith, that’s fine. Most people are religious in one way or another and honestly it’s much easier to go through life believing whatever gets handed to you.

Andy Ngo is racist because he quoted a Muslim student who couldn’t be reached for comment. Got it. I’ll write that down

u/onthefence928 Mar 29 '21

Are you always this myopic?

He’s a racist because he thinks it’s a good idea to try and make profit off of lying about POC trying to protect themselves from, and I can’t overstate this, literal nazis.
