We often hear our own friends say that Black people deserved to die, or that they are lazy, good for nothing, thugs. We are scared that our Black neighbors will beat us up or rob us at night. We live among Blacks in North Minneapolis, Frogtown, or East Side St. Paul, and we bash them for being bad neighbors. We are scared of living in the “ghetto” with them. Yet, not only do we fail at being good neighbors, but we have (un)consciously internalized anti-Black racism as well. I hear Hmong Americans around me justify police violence by saying Black people do not work hard enough, are loud and obnoxious, and are criminals, so they deserve to be shot.

Yep, your friends and family are right kid. This article should be encouraging. Sounds like the Hmong around us have things figured out and just a few sticks in the mud are trying to ruin things. This fool believes Sandra Bland was murdered, whoever it is isn't paying attention. I support Hmong who support the truth. Happy to have you here, welcome more of you.
