Awful things are happening in south China's Guangzhou, where police are ordering bars and restaurants not to serve black people, and officials launching mandatory testing and self-quarantine for anyone with 'African' contacts. https://apnews.com/776dec4ec1d06779a34ecc5c4863d427
I'd love to see @NCUSCR come out with a statement condemning the treatment of black Americans in Guangzhou.
American organizations like @NCUSCR and the @Committee100 need to understand that condemning racism in China actually helps, rather than hurts, the great work they've done condemning anti-Chinese racism in America. Please speak out.
Here's a chilling story of a man evicted from his apartment in Guangzhou -- solely for the crime of being black -- and who now has trouble finding a new apartment. "We have contacted a lot of agents none of them are leasing to black foreigners," he said. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/10/china/africans-guangzhou-china-coronavirus-hnk-intl/index.html
Here's a video circulating on Instagram showing black people banned from entering @McDonalds . "We have been informed from now on black people are not allowed to enter the restaurant."

Imagine the outcry in America if American Jews were being banned from Chinese restaurants and bars in south China's Guangzhou, and evicted from their apartments, solely or the crime of being a Jew. Black Americans are being treated horrifically, and you should speak up.
