Subject: Why the U.S. Media Treats Sterling & Beckel so Differently?
80-20 PAC, by far the largest Asian Am. political action committee, announced today that it shall unite with all organizations, elected officials and individuals to help achieve the goal of getting Robert Beckel fired by Fox. Beckel stated on Fox TV “The Five” on 7/10/2014:
“The Chinese are the single biggest threat to the national security of the U.S.,” and used a “C word”.
Click here to hear his racist, xenophobic statement, expressed with such hateful body language and hand gestures. He seems bent on inciting a race war against the Chinese people.
Just several months ago, ABC reviewed a taped Jimmy Kimmel segment during which a kid blurted out “kill all Chinese” and let it air? Will ABC do the same, if the word “Chinese” was replaced by Blacks or Jews? Now Beckel, as a news analyst, publicly stated the above.
The Chinese American community is determined to stop such statements against us, once and for all. Otherwise, we’ll be like the Jews in Nazi Germany who eventually faced a very hostile home community.
S. B. Woo, 80-20 President & former Lt. Governor of Delaware says, “We are fully aware that the U.S. is not Nazi Germany. On the other hand, if such statements can come against us again and again without severe repercussions to the offender, then the Chinese- and perhaps East-Asian-Americans will suffer
psychologically, physically and career wise.”
Clipper's owner Donald Sterling was banned from NBA for life and forced to sell the team for his racial slur against blacks in a private conversation.
In comparison, Beckel called all people of Chinese descent “the single biggest threat to the national security of the US” and used a “C word” in a public broadcast! ” Why is our media so quiet on Beckel?” Woo asks. “Where are the Asian Am. journalists, for heaven’s sake?” [meaning those who work in the mainstream media. Added by SB Woo]
People of Chinese descent worldwide are watching how fair the media in U.S.A. is. Is the U. S. media using double standard for different races? (The end)
