Police got your call but they would not help your danger?


When white police use excessive force to a black people Rodney King, the 1992 LA riots occurs.

Has to defend the uptown white people’s wealth from the lower colored class Americans.



I was upset that the media conveniently scapegoated Korean merchants as the source of black rage Despite the fact that those merchants were barely above destitution.

During read this book, I strongly feel the compassion, discourage and obstacle as a Korean.

I was so sad following the chapter, but thanks to author for describing detail minors’ feelings and subjective perspective. I adore her talents which poem, essay and art.

I discover that not only colored persecuted by white but also colored oppress other races.

Korean soldiers fight for white profit to kill lot of innocent Asian lives.


I believe God create human beings equal and valuable regardless their skin color.
