ASIANS ARE NOT A VIRUS. THE VIRUS IS HATE.

I'm so sick and tired of stupidity.  I have to tell you, we are in a very dangerous world right now. Social media has crippled people's thinking and have literally made everyone stupider. 

Look at my continue fact checks and wise cracks with Aubrey Huff on Twitter. 

He continually puts out crap, lies, bad facts and people, sheep... believe everything he says. 

There are no more independent thinkers and the world is full of wanna-be influencers. That's scary.

COVID-19 is a virus. In the world, we are doing our best to combat it. If it means that health officials ask you to wear a mask to protect yourself and others, do your part. It's not a big ask. 

If there's a COVID vaccine out there that could protect people? Take it... IF YOU CHOOSE TO. It's not mandatory... it's a precaution. You can read all you want about people that have died from the vaccine, but the numbers don't add up to what COVID has killed. I'm not saying you're risking dying by taking the vaccine. I'm just saying it's to better humanity so one day soon we can all take our masks off.

I lost too many friends this past year.  Some were careless... some were defiant suggesting that the Government can't control them. Now they're dead.  All I'm saying is, if you're smart, not selfish... it could make a difference.  But it's more than that... it's what's transpired since this virus hit our shores. Those same, idiotic "influencers" think it's ok to blame Asian Americans. What's the reason? There's no connection.  It's like looking at me as an Italian American and saying, "Oh, you're Italian? You're mobbed up?" It's racist and idiotic. Knock it off.  Stop calling Asians the virus. Wake up! Think for yourself! Read everything. ACTUALLY READ. Don't read a headline from Aubrey Huff, he knows nothing. Read articles... FROM LEGIMATE SOURCES... left, right, everything... and form your opinion that way.  Sure, it takes longer to find the truth, but it's the truth and not made up.  I'm so tired of it. 

Masahiro Tanaka walked away from the MLB and the Yankees because of Asian-American hate. That came from his mouth.  That's being reported everywhere today.  Do you see how serious that is? He's scared enough for his family that he would leave America... the greatest country in the world, full of opportunity, to circle the wagons and go back to his homeland.  That is significant. 

NJ.com writes:

"In an interview with a Japanese newspaper, Tanaka appeared to suggest that one of the reasons he and his family chose to return to Japan was because they faced racism amid the coronavirus pandemic. According to a translation from Google on the Japanese newspaper’s website, Tanaka said his son felt insecure at school and that they were “discriminated against.” He also said his wife felt “anxiety” in the U.S.

NJ Advance Media’s Brendan Kuty reports Cashman was asked Monday about the Insider.com report:

“Brian Cashman said Masahiro Tanaka didn’t tell him about any instances of racism he faced in the U.S., but that it was ‘heartbreaking’ to read about.”

Think real hard about that.  Think about the Asians getting beaten on streets in my country... the USA, because they just wanna make ends meet or just want to live their life in a free country... and they can't.... because some asshole deeply believes that Asians are to blame. Think real hard about that.  Think about how they got that information. Probably from the internet of some hate sight. Probably from Twitter where headlines of false information reign supreme.... and someone with an axe to grind thought that that one headline "must be true" without doing the research to find out the truth.

We are America. We are supposed to be the example of freedom, humanity and what is it now? Think about it?  

Trust me... no one is making you wear masks. No one is making you take the vaccine. No one is taking away your guns. No one is banning abortion. And no... Asians aren't the virus.... Hate is. 

You need to read EVERYTHING. You need to smarter. You need to stop being a sheep... Left, Right... all of you.  It's disgusting and it's time to better yourself with information. Otherwise... we will never move forward.

I feel terrible for Masahiro Tanaka, but as a family man, he did what he needed to do to protect his family. I applaud that.  But that's a signal folks... wake up.

I leave you with this. Read this dynamic piece from the Athletic by Kavitha Davidson.
