This is not good for the image of ‘one world,’ that is being pushed for the Olympics. The attack on Black men reminds one VERY CLEARLY of the attacks on African students during the mid 1990’s, over the dating of Chinese women by African men.

There are many African and Pan-African college students getting ready to attend the Olympic games, LET’S HOPE THEY ARE NOT ‘TARGETED’ (AFTER BEING RATTED ON BY SOME AS ‘DEALERS’ ) AND BRUTALIZED BASED ON A LIE.

This attack on Black people is insulting to the GLOBAL BLACK DIASPORA, PARTICULARLY IF THESE ARE INNOCENT PEOPLE.

However, when one remembers how Sudan, West Papua and other places occupied by Blacks are facing what many call genocide, then people have to start wondering.

Africans must remember WHO WE ARE, WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE’RE GOING.

BET THE PEOPLE WHO BRUTALIZED THE BLACKS WILL NEVER ROUND UP SOME WHITE AMERICANS, OR WHITE EUROPEANS, WHITE AUSTRALIANS AND BRUTALIZE THEM.

Bet they will never target ANY WHITES AS POTENTIAL CRIMINALS.

Africans/Pan-Africans better STOP SLEEPING AND STOP BEING TRICKED BY ‘TRINKETS.’

There is an ancient saying in Africa, ‘the albino cannot escape the burning of the sun,’ and that phrase suits perfectly the ‘PERCEIVED REASONS’ WHY THE BLACK PEOPLE WERE TARGETED — skin color. However, the time will come when pale skin will bring no benefit, and particularly not from nature.

We better start recognizing our genuine friends immediately before it is too late.

I don’t want to sound as if I am supporting the raid or the motives behind the raid, whatever they were, but I do have to say that on nearly every occasion I have been to San Li Tun, African guys have openly tried to sell me drugs. Is it any wonder they were the target of the raid?

I saw that and thought it looked an awful lot like the aftermath of this incident, but that says Sunday night, wasn’t the black-guy-roundup on Friday night? I could see how they could fudge the dates by one day, (12:30 AM Saturday is still “Friday night” to most people, of course) but by two days? Could there have been an ID-checking follow-up? Still sounds related, whether it’s the same incident or not.

And last, the Xinhua report of the police explanation, filed close to midnight the day before a major holiday so there’s no one to ask questions about how it was that so many people were taken in for not having papers, and then let go after producing their papers at the police station: link.

There’s a difference between nobody being charged with drug offenses and no drugs being found. While I wouldn’t be surprised if they really didn’t find any drugs, (either because people who were carrying dropped their stash or because everyone was smart enough not to have their stash on them, and the police, just rushing in, didn’t do proper surveillance to locate the drugs first) it seems just as likely that the penalty for drug offenses being death, (or so they say, I don’t know the specific laws or if there’s much variation in level of punishment) that they just deported everybody since executing a bunch of foreigners would probably be bad press.

This is hardly a surprise. I don’t go to Sanlitun often, but on one trip just after last Spring Festival you could hardly move without bumping into a very, very obvious drug dealer- it’s the look in their eyes as they size you up as a potential customer. Then the last couple of trips their this summer I’ve been shocked- shocked, I tell you- by the complete absence of anybody trying to sell me anything illicit. Well, there’s been drug paraphernalia openly on sale, but nobody trying to sell me the reason for such paraphernalia.

And sure, they weren’t targeting black men. They were after people of the dark-skinned variety.

The China Daily website had a thread about this for a few hours until it was taken down. Many expats supported the sweep and didn’t care whether a few inncocent black people got rounded up and bashed by the cops.
