The voice of Shaun King, a Black activist.

Hate crimes, violence, and harassment against Asian-Americans have dramatically skyrocketed in this country over the past year. This is not fake news. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is not propaganda. This is not Asian-Americans trying to steal the spotlight from African Americans. It’s math. And it matters. Let me explain why.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” --Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I have tried to live by those words from Dr. King for the past 25 years. And I actually believe them. It’s really easy to think that what happens to one group of people that you aren’t a part of has NOTHING to do with you and won’t affect or impact you in any way at all, but that’s just not how this country works. Injustice against one group of people absolutely impacts justice for all of us.

Now, as a principle, I try to fight back against the mistreatment of people whether I think it impacts my world or not, but what I want to teach you today is that being permissive or dismissive of the mistreatment of people will ALWAYS make us all less safe. These words from Martin Niemöller come to mind…

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

When we allow one group of people to be spit on, called racist names, punched, slapped, pushed, and mauled - it lowers the bar of what’s acceptable in this country for all people - period. If you are OK with Asian American children or senior citizens being spit on and called “China virus” then just understand that it’s only a matter of time until that ugliness spreads to children and senior citizens that you know and love. We have to reject all of it. We have to fight back against all of it. We have to take all of it personally.

I posted about this on Instagram and Facebook earlier this morning - and I want to address a few recurring themes that I saw in the comments.

A lot of my Black followers said something to the effect of, “But when do they ever speak up or fight for us?”
Every day. I see Asian Americans fighting and advocating and speaking out for Black folk every single day. I see them marching. I see them posting about injustices against Black folk on social media. I see them in planning meetings. Everywhere - from coast to coast.

If you aren’t seeing what I’m seeing, this is because you likely aren’t following who I’m following and guess what? You see who and what you follow. You don’t see who and what you don’t follow. But I follow hundreds of Asian American activists and leaders because I have hundreds of Asian American friends - many are as close to me as family. But if you literally don’t have a single Asian American friend, it’s probably very much the case that you don’t see them speaking up for us - but that says more about you than it does to them.

A lot of my Black followers said something to the effect of, “But what about those horrible videos of Asian people mistreating Black people around the world.”

I’ve seen those videos. They are horrible. Do you know why? Some Asian people are horrible and bigoted. Do you know why? Because every ethnic group has people that are good, bad, ugly and everything in between. Period. I’ve also seen multiple videos of Black people horribly mistreating Asian people. Does that mean all Black people are bad? Of course it doesn’t. This world has BILLIONS of African and Asian people around the world. We can’t judge BILLIONS of people off of the actions of a few. And here’s the thing - I have consistently seen Asian-American people speak out against the injustices of Asians against Black people, but again, I see that, because of who I follow, know, and trust.

But let me be even more specific - if an Asian man in Kenya does something ugly to an African, that should never mean that we then turn a blind eye to an Asian-American child being spit on in New York City. That’s foolishness. And let’s be honest, we’d never want the reverse done to us.

Race and racism are both complex and painful. Our nation, and this whole world, honestly, are so deeply mired in a ping pong of racism and violence, that people’s nerves are rightly frayed. I understand. Mine are frayed as well, but I am choosing to interrupt the status quo by speaking out. And personally, I do this without the expectation of anything in return. I am speaking out because the mistreatment of people because of their race or ethnicity or national origin is always wrong.

急診經常會送來身份不明的外傷或是路倒病人，你知道「無名男」、「無名女」的英文怎麼說嗎？

昨天守急診的吳醫師，英文很好，
今天跟他學了新單字，和大家分享～

John Doe是男性無名氏
Jane Doe是女性無名氏
身份不明的嬰兒則稱Baby Doe

“John Doe, alcohol intoxication, allegedly mauled w/ unidentified object.” (看這樣的英文描述，詞句優美，真的賞心悅目)
這話的意思是:
「無名男酒醉, 宣稱被不明物體攻擊」
這mauled 用台語發音就比較好記了^_^ 不要老是用hit 或attack, 下次可以試著用Maul，就是給他「貓落去」！

註: w/ 是 “with“的縮寫

Just as Kobe Bryant said they would, the Los Angeles Lakers have dealt the Philadelphia 76ers the injury they could not overcome. They cut their heart out.

The Lakers moved within one win of repeating as NBA champions with a convincing 100-86 victory over the 76ers, whose once-proud pulse can barely be heard.

Shaquille O'Neal mauled his way to 34 points and 14 rebounds and a suffocating defense -- often obscured by glamour and glitz -- made sure there was no comeback by the Sixers, who again went down early and played uphill virtually the entire game.

"I'm on a mission," O'Neal said. "I'm very focused."

"He makes the game very simple," Bryant said.

As Bryant left the First Union Center after Sunday's Game Three win, he told an onlooker, "We're going to cut their hearts out." The Philadelphia native did his share of slashing, mostly with drives through the defense, and finished with 19 points.

Bryant also added 10 rebounds and nine assists in an outstanding all-around game. He has been the key in this series as the Lakers have won whenever he has played well.

No one stuck in the dagger deeper than the reserves for the Lakers, who played perfectly off O'Neal with a flurry of 3-pointers in the second and fourth quarters. Robert Horry, Brian Shaw, Ron Harper and Tyronn Lue all struck at least once from the arc. Los Angeles was 10-of-19 from long range.

"The second unit that came in the form of Horry and Shaw and Tyronn really saw the game to the end," Jackson said.

"I think our bench gets motivated by people saying we don't have a bench," Bryant said. "They come in and do an excellent job for us."

O'Neal took his forceful game right to Defensive Player of the Year Dikembe Mutombo, who finally appeared to back down a bit. O'Neal made 13-of-25 shots and had five dunks, including one that stopped another inevitable fourth-quarter surge by the Sixers.

"Nobody ever said that Mutombo's gonna step on the floor and Shaq is not gonna get his dunk," Mutombo said. "The way he's playing, he's going to get his dunk."

After a pair of dunks in the first quarter, O'Neal shot a glance at his father in the stands.

"He taught me everything I know," O'Neal said. "He taught me my ferocity. He taught me how to play the game. He taught me what to do tonight. He's like my Sega joystick up there."

"He was very aggressive," Jackson said. "I thought that he played hard."

The 7-1, 330-pound O'Neal also played smart, collecting five assists and staying out of foul trouble.

"I think you've heard me for three games," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "The guy's the best. He's playing against a hell of a player in Dikembe. But he's phenomenal."

"Whole lot of Shaquille O'Neal," Sixers superstar Allen Iverson said. "That's all it was, a whole lot of Shaquille O'Neal. ... You got somebody that big sitting in the middle of the lane, I mean, what can you do?" There has been plenty of talk about the heart of the Sixers but they would have served themselves better by playing with their heads. With poor shot selection and botched fast breaks, they made dozens of poor decisions, many by superstar Allen Iverson.

Iverson scored 35 points but made just 12-of-30 shots. For the first time in the playoffs, the NBA Most Valuable Player could not carry Philadelphia to victory in a must-win game.

"It's been a long, tough year," said Iverson, whose defiance wavered for the first time in this series.

After losing the opener at home, the Lakers have outclassed the Sixers three straight times and are one win from completing the best postseason run in NBA history. They can do it in Game Five on Friday.

"I know this is going to be an animated place on Friday night," Jackson said. "The game won't be anything like it was tonight. It will be a totally different ballgame."

"I'm not gonna give up and I don't expect my team will give up," Brown said.

That may not matter anymore. LA improved to 7-0 on the road in the playoffs, tying the single-season mark for consecutive road wins set by the 1995 Houston Rockets.

"It's remarkable that we've won as many games that we've won in the playoff situation on the road this year," Jackson said. "I think it says something about the character of this team."

Derek Fisher chipped in 10 points for the Lakers, who shot 50 percent (36-of-72), held a 43-37 edge on the glass and led by as many as 22 points.

Mutombo had 19 points and nine rebounds for the Sixers, who shot 43 percent (33-of-77), including 1-of-6 from the arc.

Bryant's three-point play and breakaway dunk gave the Lakers their largest lead at 70-48 with 3:34 left in the third period. The Sixers still trailed by 20 points until Tyrone Hill closed the quarter with a layup.

That triggered a 13-0 burst that had the First Union Center crowd rocking for the first time. Aaron McKie's free throw cut it to 77-70 with just under nine minutes to go as Jackson -- who already had called one timeout -- refused to call another.

"It gives them a sense of being able to survive tough situations," Jackson said. "I like my teams to have a head about themselves on the floor, a collective head. We can cover a lot of things. We can jerk things around. Ultimately, they have to make the decisions on the court."

"He's not gonna call a timeout," O'Neal said. "We're just gonna have to work through that. We've been working through that all year. Phil's a great coach in that sense."

The Lakers responded like champions. O'Neal's final dunk was followed by 3-pointers by Shaw, Lue and Horry, rebuilding the lead to 88-71 with 6:40 to play. The crowd was heading for the exits shortly thereafter.

"We dig such deep holes for ourselves and we always find ourselves in the situation where you've got to fight back so long and so hard that it takes so much out of you," said McKie, who scored just five points on 1-of-9 shooting.

It could have been a lot worse as the Lakers played the opening of the first two quarters in a fog. In both periods, it took them nearly four minutes to make a basket.

However, once they got going, there was little stopping them. O'Neal hammered consecutive dunks over Mutombo and Fisher went in alone for a steal, capping an 11-0 surge that made it 14-6 with 4:21 left in the first quarter.

Sixers forward George Lynch made his first appearance of the series less than 30 seconds later and was entirely ineffective on his broken left foot. When Bryant followed in a miss by O'Neal with 1:42 to go, the Sixers were down 10 -- 20-10 -- for the fourth straight game.

Philadelphia went to a trap at the outset of the second quarter and pulled within 26-22 before LA regrouped. Harper had five straight Lakers points before 3-pointers by Horry, Harper and Lue made it 46-29 with 3:31 remaining before halftime.

At the worst possible time, the Sixers played their worst half of the series. They trailed 51-37 after shooting 34 percent (12-of-35), missing six free throws and getting pounded on the boards, 26-15.

"I don't think the first half we played too intelligently," Brown said. "They had a lot to do with that."

The frustration continued in the third quarter. Philadelphia began with a turnover and could not score out of its set offense as Los Angeles cut off passing lanes and blocked shots. Iverson was hit with a technical foul with 8:23 to go.
