Stop Asian Hate Now!

The True Spirit of America Party has a strong message to anyone who engages in, supports, fuels, or condones any acts of hate or discrimination against Asian and Pacific Islander Americans.  KNOCK IT OFF, YESTERDAY!  Period.  We at the TSAP have absolutely zero tolerance for any racism, discrimination, or hate crimes of any kind, and these recent anti-Asian incidents are absolutely unacceptable.

The fact that anyone in this day and age would actually vilify and blame Asians as a group for COVID-19 is absolutely despicable, and is no different than centuries ago when medieval Europeans would vilify and blame Jews for the Black Death and attack them as a result.  Yes, we know the national origin of this particular virus, but the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its leader Xi Jinping are NOT representative of an entire race, ethnicity, or nationality, no more than the GOP and Trump are somehow representative of all Americans or all white people for that matter.  And lest we forget, the notorious 1918 "Spanish" flu pandemic (which was many, many times worse than this one) actually originated in the USA (Fort Riley, Kansas to be precise), but of course you didn't see anyone blaming or vilifying Americans for that.  These sorts of toxic fallacies have very tragic and deadly consequences, as we have recently seen.

And to all of you cowardly bystanders out there during all of this, the time to step up to the plate is also yesterday as well.  If racists know you won't do anything about it, they will just keep on doing it.

We extend our greatest condolences and sympathy to the victims of this horrific and deplorable rash of hate crimes along with their friends and families as well.  

We Wholeheartedly Condemn The New Zealand Shooting

"On March 15, 2019, a horrific racist, xenophobic, and Islamophobic hate crime and act of terrorism shook New Zealand as well as the world.  A white supremacist hatemongering terrorist launched a deadly attack on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, killing 49 people and injuring countless others, including children, who were worshipping in those mosques.  Horrible as this unprecedentedly deadly mass shooting was, it would likely have been far worse still had the terrorist been able to set off his many bombs as well.  And we wholeheartedly condemn this horrific and cowardly act of hate and terrorism, and all other such acts as well as the virulent ideologies, including white nationalism, racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia, that inspire and lead to such senseless violence."

This was literally all that Trump and his sycophantic lackeys would need to have said to avoid being unnecessarily tainted (as much) by having somehow inspired such horrific and hateful violence with his own virulently hateful rhetoric against (non-white) immigrants, refugees, and especially Muslims.  (Which, by the way, his rhetoric apparently DID inspire in part, according to the killer's own rambling manifesto.)  But apparently the Donald can't even do that, preferring instead to just punt on the issue altogether and give the usual pat answers.  And that, ladies and gentlemen is, in a word, "Sad!".
