NE P T UNI T E A CALL TO
AC TION
This goes out to the heterosexual cis man of color! It is important to address the problems with the NYPD systemic racism and classism. However, it is also important to understand that unity is not only necessary, it is inclusive! Throughout the course of this movement, I’ve noticed that regardless of the inclusion of Black queer people through the amplification of Black trans lives, cisgender heterosexual men, specifically Black and Latino men, continue to demonize and threaten trans and queer people. For example, this week on Monday, another Black trans woman was brutally beaten! Her name is Kendall Stephens. She was at home in Philadelphia with her husband and children that night. And yet not much circulation of this incident has happened! I myself only found out through a friend who sent me that article via Instagram. Had it not been for that, I would have never known! This has to change!!! We need to do more for Black trans women on social media! People are quick to make an incident against a cisgender heterosexual man by the police go viral but fail to make enough noise when a Black trans woman is brutalized by her own people!!! The second example is myself. As a gender-nonconforming man, I still face homophobia and borderline, and this is on borderline because I am not taking away from the trans experience, borderline transphobia
from said men simply because I am visibly queer. Like many queer people, I get snickered at, glared at and stared at. If I respond, they escalate and threaten to inflict violence on me! I am speaking on this because we, as people of color, miss a very important aspect in uniting and being a stronger force to be reckoned with against our common oppressors. That aspect is self-reparation! Y’all ever heard of a saying: If you can’t love yourself, how you’re going to love somebody else? This applies to this movement as well. We cannot move as one people when we are too busy dividing ourselves, making us unable to get it together. We cannot preach that Black Lives Matter when we turn around and shun, threaten and kill other Black lives for being of a different sexuality or gender identity! We as people of the African diaspora cannot demand reparations, justice or freedom when we consistently fail to repair the emotional, psychological and physical damage we cause to our own! How many more of us have to be brutalized and killed before we finally wake up?!?! Black trans women are still taking the most damage out of us despite being among the first to fight for freedom of all! Don’t get me wrong, it feels great to feel the love and acceptance from other protestors of this movement. But when the work is done for the day and queer people go back home, what do we face? The same transphobic, homophobic
bullshit we left out of this neighborhood to fight! By the very people we are fighting for! This shit has to stop!!! This needs to be addressed not only in downtown Manhattan but in under-cared-for communities such as the Bronx and Harlem. I suggest you all take a look at the speech called How to Make a Slave by Willie Lynch. It is one of the great examples of divide and conquer and in that speech is one of the origins of why differences rule our world and why it’s hard for us to come together. To my Black and Latino male oppressors, I leave you with this—in order to grow, thrive and be stronger in this movement, you need to step out of your comfort zone! Step out of your comfort zone!!! Stop demonizing queer people and understand that we are not the enemy that generations of psychological conditioning by slave owners have made us out to be! We are here for the same reason and it’s for justice and reparations! We are here to dismantle the oppressive system that has kept us deeply divided for so long. Stop making excuses to stay in your hypermasculine bubble! If you’re really about the movement and you really want to see community and unity as well as peace, drop your pathetic ego and machismo and fight with us, not against us! Fight with us, not against us!! Fight with us, not against us!!! — The Stonewall Protests, August 2020

SINCE TIME
IMMEMORIAL Golden kulintang gongs softly tinkle under the warm summer sun. I step around a small crowd, smelling jerk chicken, pancit, and jollof rice. The Pride flag I wear, with brown and black stripes, swirls as a cape beneath my bright red terno, or butterfly sleeves, meant for women to wear. I wear these alongside a dark purple bulldog harness, which is considered to be masculine. White feathery wings float in my periphery. The weight of months of little sleep, endless fundraising during a global economic crisis, worry over safety in a pandemic, and increased policing, seem to shimmer out of existence. Somehow, self-love along with love of the ancestors, delivered this entire procession peacefully, in harmony, to a park filled with food.
My name is Rohan and I am an Asian American, as much as I am a Black American. This was the end of the very first Blasian Pride, created a year after the police murder of George Floyd and the latest major Black Lives Matter uprising. Its vision is to uplift Black, Asian, and Blasian LGBTQIA2S+ community in the midst of homophobia and transphobia. It has gained greater weight for me as we see the rise in anti-LGBT legislation across the country. Yet, anti-trans and anti-queer hate is nothing new, but rather a practice instituted by colonization. What we understand as queerness was valued in African, Asian, Pasifika, and Turtle Island cultures well before Europe realized the Earth was round. In Pasifika, which is not to be considered Asian American, a rich and wide variety of gender identities existed well before colonization and the imperial forces of the United States. It can be argued that claiming any of these identities is a powerful act of resistance. The last king of Uganda, Mwanga II, was what we know today as bisexual. During the Han Dynasty of China, Emperor Ai cut off his sleeve when he had risen from sleep so as not not to disturb his male lover who was resting on his garb. This is now considered to be one of the greatest stories of queer romance in China. The hijra of South Asia as a gender survived the English invasion and their anti-same-sex relation laws. Evidence of same-sex relations can be found among the Harari of Sub Saharan Africa, even Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum from the Fifth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. The Blasian March is a process to decolonize for a better future. In order to do that, we must give ourselves permission to return to the ancient ways. These histories, alongside the 20th century resistance, especially during the Civil Rights Era, are critical to my work at the intersections of Blackness, Asianness, and Queerness.
BL A C K P OWE R. A SI A N POWER. BLASIAN POWER. In the past three years of organizing the Blasian March, I found myself excluded from both Black and Asian spaces. One BLM organizer had messaged me challenging one of our protest chants Asian Power!. Another suggested that I only went to Asian rallies. Others distanced themselves from me, ranging from backing out as speakers at the Blasian March to even going so far as calling me a media sellout. I understood that I only mattered as a Black person if I silenced my Asianness and reduced myself to a mere numerical statistic at their protests. I have also been ejected from Asian organizing spaces for being Black. This
pseudo political exile is deeply rooted in the white mythology that racial harmony cannot exist between Black and Asian communities. Black Asians are antithetical to the survival of identity, privilege, and contests for power within the political binary imposed on the Movement for Black Lives and Asian political struggle. This is constructed by the colonial state based on the mythology that we have never moved as one and in solidarity. These divisions, competitions for power, are because we live within colonial institutions that erase centuries of Afro-Asian resistance and liberation work. Starting with Filipino, Indigenous, and African maroons against the Spanish in the late 18th century, any point of progress in our society is done through the collective work of the oppressed. As a result we do not know our stories. The Civil Rights Era exemplifies the quintessential symbiosis. In 1966, three years prior to the iconic Stonewall uprising, Tamara Ching, a trans Asian woman, along with other queer and trans people rose up against police brutality at the Compton Cafeteria in San Francisco. This was two years before the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., who collaborated with Asian American figures such as Grace Lee Boggs. Boggs and her husband James, who was Black, proved fundamental to the access to education for Black communities in Detroit. She was even labeled by the FBI as “probably Afro-Chinese” because of her involvement in the Black liberation work. Dr. King also worked closely with Kiyoshi Kuromiya, one of the many Japanese Americans who survived the internment camps of WWII and joined many Black freedom fighters. Kuromiya marched with MLK on Selma and, when he was assassinated, would watch over the children. Kuromiya also made history as the first and only openly gay panelist at the Black Panther Party Convention of 1980, where Freddy P. Newton spoke openly in solidarity with the LGBT and women’s rights movements. This is in stark contrast to the homophobia and toxic masculinity within the present-day Black culture. Gender inclusivity has always been a critical thread in the Black liberation movement. Another queer figure that we should look to is Bayard Rustin, an openly gay Black man who traveled to India and studied the techniques of nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience. He incorporated these into his civil rights movement work, which would arguably become a hallmark of the time period. Unfortunately, he would decline in prominence in the civil rights movement after he was convicted of public sex. During this period, the term model minority was developed to target Japanese American survivors of WWII, after a large wave of them joined Black organizers, particularly Richard Aoki and Nobuko Miyamoto with the Black Panthers and Yuri Kochiyama, who befriended Malcolm X. The last year of the Civil Rights Era, the
year King was assassinated, was the same year Asian America was born. Emma Gee and Yuji Ichioka, who coined the term two years after the introduction of the model minority, founded the Asian American Political Alliance, an Asian student resistance group at UCLA Berkeley that collaborated with the Afro-American Student Union, the Mexican American Student Committee, and the Native American Indian Association to form the Third World Liberation Front. This solidarity group organized for ethnic studies to learn about our histories, teach future generations, and, as per their 1969 declaration, to resist capitalism and imperialism in unity with other non-white people. Asian Americans have been just as critical to our collective liberation as Black people. Without any of these moments of solidarity, we would never have civil rights. The censorship, sanitization, and erasure of these facts are tools of white mythology. White mythology has taught Asian America that we don’t have any history on this stolen land. It has taught Black America that it has always been alone in the struggle for emancipation. What is most dangerous about white mythology is that we have internalized it as truth through the institutions of public education. In order for the colonial state to flourish, it must defund education, ban books, and invest in violent structures such as policing, which have killed Black and Asian people alike. To achieve liberation, we must adamantly require the alliances our communities have practiced for centuries. Black Power must enter into symbiosis with Asian Power. Both must acknowledge Blasian Power, for we have the beauty of wielding both. All three must join with Indigenous, Latine, Jewish, Arab and other queer, anti-racist, and disability justice movements, for Blackness intersects all of them. If not, we will remain intellectually and willingly enslaved to the colonial state. In the words of Bayard Rustin: “You have to join every other movement for the freedom of the people.”
FIREBIRD Three years later I am standing once more at Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn, New York. The sun has shined down on the people I lead every Blasian Pride. We had just experienced smoke from the wildfires in Canada that colored our skyline orange, and now we are marching for climate justice. Black and Asian LGBT leaders spoke on the impacts of environmental racism. An LGBT Korean drumming group danced in a circle around Afro- and Indo-Caribbean trans people. In that moment I thought of Black-Asian solidarity figures, like Yuri Kochiyama and
Malcolm X, Nobuko Miyamoto, and James Baldwin. None of them made change within the confines of their races. These boundaries were instituted by colonization. While we draw power from the idea of race, we must also learn where and how to suspend its limitations that lend itself to white domination. When we remain rooted in siloes, or as Toni Morrison would refer to as singular narrative, we choose to keep on the chains of our oppressors. To silence Asian American work within Black liberation is to join the same oppressors who have inherited the chains that dragged us across the Atlantic. To engage in anti-Blackness is to ally with the same empire that displaced so many of our people out of Asia. To only fight for ourselves is to remain in a state of perpetual limitation, self-segregation, and thus auto-oppression. I am standing tall, despite the harm and hate I have felt in both the Black Lives Matter and Stop Asian Hate movements. I have learned from the legacies of Bayard and Tamara, Kiyoshi and Marsha, the value of seeing beyond the margins instituted by white mythology. I have taken the pain of exclusion and made flowers for myself. I have planted seeds that I may never see bloom. I may never live to see them make fruit of stars. That no longer matters. What matters most is that our communities heal from the physical, intellectual, and spiritual violence of the empire. For our own survival, each of us must learn our stories regardless of race to create the next chapter. Paramount to our liberation is imagining our power beyond the barriers of minority to create community, because this self-segregation keeps us oppressed and away from entering what Rosemary Campbell-Stephens calls the global majority. In the words of Grace Lee Boggs:
“THE TIME HAS COME FOR US TO REIMAGINE EVERYTHING.”
