Those "rooftop Koreans" did not kill any Black ppl. Their goal was defense, not killing, and the statistics show that. The Roof Korean should symbolize community defense in the face of the police abandoning you, but instead it's been co-opted by the anti-Black pro 2A alt-right.
If you speak on the riots, you owe it to listen to the voices of people who actually lived through them. Carol Park went into journalism because she saw firsthand in 1992 how white journalists completely misrepresented and spoke over people of color.
The broadcaster working Koreatown's radio station at the time said, 100%, if Koreans had not defended their stores with firearms, Koreatown would NOT be in existence today. It would have been completely destroyed. This was a FEMA level crisis.
A Koreatown community member recalls how common it was for Koreans in that area to get killed on a weekly basis. The 90s were dubbed the 'decade of death' because Reagan's admin had seen the streets of South L.A. flooded with crack cocaine and gangs.
Our communities are both victimized and even though some in each community can be the aggressor, we are closer than we think. Hold the line and watch how the white media tries to twist the narrative.
