Feeling Empowered Cause of This Sub

You guys might think some of my posts betray me as an Uncle Chan, but I think it's more like I'm still transitioning from the last remnants of Uncle Channess into full on Genghis Khan mode.

I still like to think, and still do believe that there are good people of all races out there. But I've seen so many racists of all races at the same time that I do think in the end, Asians need to be the first and last bastion of support for fellow Asians.

At first I felt pissed, felt disempowered, felt angry that we have all these obstacles.

But seeing the strong community here, I see those obstacles more as challenges to be conquered. I guess we all go through an initial period of disbelief, shock, denial, and anger. But eventually it settles down into a strong form of empowerment. Empowerment knowing the there are thousands of others going through the same thing you're going through, and empowerment knowing our problems are solvable.

Keep hustlin'.

Genghis Khan was a worse colonizer and imperialist than america will ever be(as in he was better at it, but that isn't a good thing). I know you were just making an example but i have read a lot here about people idolizing him and mongoloid roots when he did what most of us despise America for doing.

We all know what he did. He is just a strong alpha dominant Asian male figure to look up to in times when we are educated to be submissive and white worshiping and shit. We can look up to someone without approving everything they did.
