Kimmy Yam, reporter for NBC Asian America, and Amanda Nguyen, CEO and Founder of the non-profit civil rights group RISE, join Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss the mass murder in Georgia that left eight people dead. Although the suspect told authorities the attack was not racially motivated, Yam says it’s “very difficult to divorce race from this conversation.” Nguyen says increased anti-Asian attacks are due in part to “systematic erasure,” adding “our stories aren’t told and stories are empathy machines.” Aired on 03/18/2021.

Chump and his cronies are at the top of the list when it comes to the spread of Asian hate. His magat cultist eat this stuff up and LIVE for the dissension and the division.
China the country and Chinese people are 2 different things. Not all Asians are Chinese also. But the virus did come from China. Msdnc has got ya’ll terrified
@Edward Hosmer WTF are you yappin about?? China and the Chinese people are ONE and the same!
Is that English?
the GQP misinformation trolls and the Qultklan are wack this past day. Must have been the news about this massacre and Putin….
republicans: “There is no greater danger to Americans than these migrant hordes at our border!!”
Also republicans: “What shooting in Atlanta?”
🙄
That white Georgia official said the killings are not hate-related while he sells T-shirts with Chy-na Virus!!!
Trump and the Republicans chynakungfluvirus dog whistle working pretty well.
China and Chinese Americans are two different things. You should learn the difference. The virus came from China. That’s just a fact. Did you eat Chinese food during the heart of the pandemic? Just wondering.
@R TJR how does eating Chinese food relate to the current subject matter?
That sheriff is part of the problem.
@DeliriousArmy I believe he should be held accountible for his words.
Very alarming and concerning though….
Wtf did the Asians do?! They been chill asl, love the Asian community !
These people think Asian Americans are Chinese spies somehow
It’s fake news bro
@inter modus what fake news ?
@Gwendolyn Williams you didn’t even read the title, Pic-less.
brilliantly said, ty all. it wasn’t a ‘bad day’. the murder spree was planned out, targeting asians specifically. dude is just trying to avoid hate crimes charge. racism must end!
Wonder why no republicans have condemnd this but are quick to jump onto bashing Biden’s progress since he took office….i figured Mitchell McConnell would of said something considering his wife was born in Taipei Taiwan and also could be a victim of hate just by her appearance
The atlanta attack is way too much of a coincidence to be just a sexual crime
History repeats itself, but in such cunning disguise that we never detect the resemblance until the damage is done.
first nations..first

orbis spike 1610 is the key stone
I think the word you’re looking for is hookers
API…? Asian-Pacific Immigrants? This is put up on YouTube for an international audience so It would help if people could use proper words instead of abbreviations, acronyms, and initials unfamiliar to many viewers.
@Vincent Gatekeeper –
I’ve no idea what this means. Did Mr Gatekeeper click on the wrong ‘Reply’ button by mistake… does he think he’s addressing somebody else?
Fake news
@banan Overlord they’re lying……..
@Evan The news outlet says that the previous admin had put a direct target on asians because of their language? Bro did you even watch the vid?
@banan Overlord bro did you even read my response? That’s exactly what I said….. And they’re lying…..
@Evan Bruh I did, I don’t get the point
@banan Overlord this is an isolated incident….. Race has nothing to do with it…. The shooter is a POS…..
Defunding Police has consequences.
Break out the ninja stars 🌟. Fight back.
Please stop.
Kimmy Yam, keep your sentences short and to the point. Your over words make less sense. People have idea about what you are talking, so keep it short and to the point.
