Point of no return for Failed States of America
An African American academic resident in South Korea finds every good reason never to return home

I am a Rip van Winkle – a man out of time. As I watch America eat itself, I muse upon this fact more deeply. My status as a black American who has lived in South Korea since 2002, with no real plans to go back, has seemed strange to some.

But in recent years, my friends regard this ongoing decision to not return as less strange. And in recent months, it has come to be a point of no small amount of envy to many of my friends who dream of escaping the twin epidemics of Covid-19 and white supremacy-fueled rampant racism in the United States.

In 1670, the Puritan preacher Samuel Danforth warned his fellow colonizers that America had an ongoing moral challenge as it continued its “Errand into the Wilderness.” But the Puritan “wilderness” was not a blank swathe of land, those beckoning fields of Little House on the Prairie.

To the contrary, it was a land filled with fearful, fantastic beasts and rapacious monsters. It was a moral maw, a gaping abyss that beckoned the gawker to jump. It was a land of moral risk, of spiritual danger.

The spatial and moral wilderness defined the constant fear that Puritan elders had of going “astray” and falling into the beckoning darkness of civic immorality and spiritual iniquity.

In 1987, pioneer rapper Chuck D of Public Enemy made the declamation that America was an “anti-nigger machine,” and that, “If I come out alive … then they won’t come clean.”

Indeed, neither Amaud Arbery nor George Floyd made it out alive, but unlike most blacks murdered in the USA, their stories made it out – on video. Which is what made the Rodney King incident so shocking back in 1992: the whole thing was on tape.

But absolutely nothing came clean.

No fear of being shot

I never really made a conscious decision to leave the United States. Rather, it was a constant stream of small and incremental decisions to stay.

$4 doctor visits? Stay here. $12-a-month high blood pressure pills? Yeah, stay. Ability to leave my laptop on my table at Starbucks and to go to the john and find it there 20 minutes later? Stay. $600 root canal with zirconium crown? Stay. Being able to take public transport across Seoul for $1.50? Stay. 5G? Stay.

No fear of being shot – whether by mass shooter, or for “existing-while-black”? Again, stay.

By the time the scoring even gets to Korea’s fast, smart and effective handling of Covid-19 with big data-enabled contact tracing, strict and adhered to containment measures, and free coronavirus treatment to all citizens and non-citizens as well as immigrants regardless of document status, the scoring is hopelessly skewed.

Who in their right mind, in command of their senses, or with even half the proverbial brain, would go back to live in the Failed States of America? Because that’s what America is – a failed state.

It is not about prosperity or well-being. If a government cannot even guarantee the basic human rights or physical security of its people – while demonstrating allegiance to money and profit over the interests of protecting human bodies or the body politic – then what other conclusion can there be?

The ultimate test of my choice came with the novel coronavirus. Korea’s handling of the pandemic was swift, transparent and effective. It engendered public cooperation and public trust.

I watched the United States botch the response from the top down and from the same Day One, thanks to a leader who exemplified American selfishness and narcissism, the concerns of profits over people, of appearance over truth, of fascist concerns with unity over actual individual liberties.

The USA that I liked to believe existed and which I had idealized in my memory was quite different from the FSA I see now. The USA gave way to the FSA during Hurricane Katrina, then Harvey, then with the choice of the Trumpets to choose sickness and death over better health care because it had a black man’s name on the label.

All you need is hate

The crucible really shattered as we entered the era of “Hate in the Time of Corona.”

Amid a wrecked economy with 40 million unemployed, one Amy Cooper delivered an Oscar-worthy performance of hysterical white female privilege when she called the police on a black birdwatcher who had politely asked her to keep her dog in check. That set the scene and provided the tinder for the spark that was George Floyd’s senseless murder

Then America started to burn. As it should have in response to the Blue Wall that always treats black bodies as fodder, as things that do not matter.

Nowadays, we Americans rattle off our roster of fantasy rights like Puritans who used to sling chapter and verse at social problems. And like the Bible, the Constitution is often seen as a magical amulet that justifies the values that it signifies. Unfortunately, we now venerate both Bible and Constitution mostly to bolster personal and public politics, and to pick fights.

This is not to say Korea is perfect. On November 21, 2007, I got arrested in Seoul for calling the Korean police on somebody attacking me.

A drifter in his 50s who was hammered on soju and stank like a sewer accosted me while I was shooting a Korean model on the street, berating me for being “a nigger taking pictures of a good Korean girl” and berating her as a “whore who should know better.” He started trying to kick me; I proceeded to call the police.

At that point, the guy said I had attacked him, producing some yellowed (and days-old) bruises on his shin. I was arrested and entered into the system. I was later found not guilty for lack of evidence – it was a baseless charge and the Korean model’s statement bolstered mine.

But I always remembered the friendly words of the cop: “Hey buddy, here’s a tip. You’re a foreigner. Never call the police on a Korean, because you’ll always lose.” That experience was maddeningly disappointing and disconcerting. But I never feared for my life.

In 2017, I took three months in Ohio to attend my brother’s wedding and spend time with my elderly mom. Between my county being the capital of the opioid crisis in the USA, white men starting to get their mass shooting groove on and cops killing black men like it was going out of style, I decided to get my concealed carry license and keep a Springfield Armory XDS 9mm handy and on my person at all times.

It should go without saying that I shouldn’t have to do this. Game, set, match – South Korea.

Since Samuel Danforth’s warnings have come to pass as America betrays both the letter and spirit of its most sacred texts, and whose base love of iniquity continues to power the expansion of injustice, I have slowly reached the sober conclusion that America is no place for a black man to live.

George Floyd told me to keep my black *** in Seoul for as long as it takes for the FSA to make itself great. Not again, but rather for once.

Just crush a thousand or 10 thousand with tanks, make meat pie out of them.

Meat pie can't talk about their land being a failed state you see.

Or get with the time a tiny bit more (or worse depending how you look at it) and mass-incarcerate people in "re-education" camps. They can give their 2 cents on what they think has failed them (state, society or ...) afterwards too....very credibly....drooling while sucking food thru a straw.

South Korea, together with Taiwan, are perhaps the most civilized nations on earth, which still retain the pure Confucious spirit and ethic, where you can throw money on streets but no one pick. Japan is spoiled by Western influence, same Hong Kong and Singapore. Mainland China and North Vietnam almost destroyed Confucious ethic thank to various revolutions, which were all influenced by Western ideology, in 20th century.

In old book stores in Seoul, i could still find old Confucious teaching books, which is impossible in Vietnam now.

It's not a coincidence all orderly wel managed countries are Confucian in nature. Its a cultural thing mate.

idols and actors are the most venerated people in korea when they should be considered as trash according to confucian, orientals are civilized because of genetics not culture especially not culture from your chinese known as cheater and stealer of the world

you will never see an oriental display such animalitic behavior no matter how drunk

similarly you will never see such humility and grace in non orientals (most likely a viet alpha in vid)

Thank for your comment.

However, your answer shows your poor understanding of Confucious teachings and values, which is not abnormal to people outside East Asia.

What you say is about politics, where every countries cheat and lie, and the more powerful a nation is, the bigger liar they are. However, I am pretty sure that China, as a nation, lies much less to the world than any Anglo Saxon country. For example, the whole Covid 19 thing is just a propaganda move by Western (US and its Anglo Saxon lapdogs) media to attack China. Again it is a lie, but from the West, not China.

At business level, no one on Earth respects contractual obligations and promise than the Chinese. You get what you paid for, so if you receive bad-quality products, it is generally your fault, because you paid for it and it was clearly specified in the contract. But normally, Western media do not want to accept this norm, especially with China.

Vietnam has annual trade of ~ $100 billion with China. But I’ve never heard that Chinese cheat in business (but they have many business tricks). That is why, despite of all rhetoric of Chinese poor quality products (most come from Western media), people still flock to China.

That's because he probably grew up in a rough neighborhood in the US. There are dangerous areas in the US where apartment buildings have bars over windows, security guards limit public access to housing complexes, and security cameras watch every move. Of course people would want to escape from living conditions like that.

However for the vast majority of the country everything is completely different. People don't lock their doors, leave $1000's worth of equipment outside in plain sight, and use cameras on their doorbells so they don't have to get up to see who is at the door.

Entertaining was considered to be of little use to society and was usually performed by the underclass known as the "mean people" (Chinese: 賤民).[14]

Entertainers and courtiers were often dependents upon the wealthy or were associated with the often-perceived immoral pleasure grounds of urban entertainment districts.[155] Musicians who played music as full-time work were of low status.[156] To give them official recognition would have given them more prestige.

chinese don't have sense of right and cheat each other let alone foreign people, it's just your nature, idk why you try to deny it?

In the early 20th century, Dr. Sun Yat-sen famously referred to the Chinese as “a pile of loose sand”
But the Chinese people have only family and clan solidarity; they do not have a hundred million people gathering together in China, in reality they are just a pile of loose sand.

Consider these comments from award-winning journalist Ian Johnson describing late-90’s China:
A friend of mine liked to argue . . . [that] the crackdown showed that Chinese actually didn’t care much about each other... It was like the traffic accidents that one sees in big Chinese cities — crowds gather only to stare; almost no one stops to help.

I observed many kinds of people, people from different races and tribes.

Each of them has a different way of thinking.

Despite they are growing and living in the same country and culture.

I think it's in the DNA.

DNA shaped the individual behavior, and then that behavior shaped the whole culture of the society.


Chinese people have a different way of thinking, hardwired in their DNA.

But whatever people are saying that Chinese people are selfish and don't care about others...

Chinese society is one of the most successful societies in the world.


And people who are labeled as kind and selfless, it turns out their society is not so successful with so much poverty and struggles to move forward as a whole society.

Where is the so-called less-selfish and charity?


And why a society that looks like they don't care about the others, everyone is living well with enough food to eat and even more.

Why a selfish society, a selfish teacher, it turns out the students are doing well and even the top of the world.

Why a selfish doctor, it turns out they are the winner of fighting coronavirus? With less infected persons and less death on average?

Why a selfish politician, everyone has a house, one of the highest in the world? And the people are getting wealthier each year.


I think from this post, everyone knows where are Chinese people love, and their charity is the real one.


I think it's the same applied to the White people, their countries are doing very well.

There are many things we can learn from them.

Good deeds always ended well.

The charity can be in any different kind of shape, not always in "charity".

Chinese toddlers are left with deformed heads after being raised on 'fake baby formula', report reveals

Why a selfish society, a selfish teacher, it turns out the students are doing well and even the top of the world.

Suicide is the top cause of death among Chinese youth, according to China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention. (In most Western countries, accidents cause the greatest number of youth deaths.)
It’s become such a problem that some Chinese universities are now forcing incoming students to sign waivers absolving the university of responsibility for a student’s suicide.

Why a selfish doctor, it turns out they are the winner of fighting coronavirus? With less infected persons and less death on average?

you were winner? you were liar until corona is too dangerous to cover up
The World Health Organization grew increasingly frustrated with China early in the coronavirus outbreak as the country delayed sharing critical

Why a selfish politician, everyone has a house, one of the highest in the world? And the people are getting wealthier each year.

rich chinese cruelly work their countryman like dog

In response to the suicides, Foxconn... installed suicide-prevention netting, brought in Buddhist monks to conduct prayer sessions, and asked employees to sign no-suicide pledges.

Then, you don't get the message.

It's like comparing 10 flaws of Mercedes-Benz and 10 good things about Wuling.

But still, Mercedes-Benz overall is a way better car than Wuling.


The same with comparing 10 flaws of living in developed country and 10 good things living in a developing country.

Still, overall living in a developed country is a way better than living in a poor developing country, whatever the popular articles in the newspaper.

It's like saying 10 flaws in a developed country, but covering up 100 flaws in a developing country, but instead, change it with 10 good things of living in a developing country.


Whatever the Western media says about the bad things about Chinese people.

Crime rates and Chinese cities street are much safer than most of the world.

If we want to talk about the scene of criminality in countries that have a higher crime rate than China, it will wash out any bad things about Chinese people in the news.

If you understand my meaning.

 

[pffffft]

what is the point of devlopment of a country? to provide it's citizen with better living standard, the path of your development is inhumane and soulless so what is the point, you made little children suicide by pressure them in education, then in adult you made them suicide by work like dog, for what result? you can show off to foreigner people that china is no longer poor and sick man of asia but the citizen are like slave

yellow race is most civilized so it's nothing special EA country or your chinese got low crime, you don't have so much foreigner like usa got blacks or rape gangs like in uk/euro, watch what happen to china when your look to africa, pak/china policies mature and immigrants from around the world flood into country

Being diligent and responsible is part of the iman.

Even if we don't want to be developed, it will be by itself.

If we diligently cleaning and maintaining our house with full responsible, our house will become a beautiful and healthy place even if we don't have the desire to have a beautiful house in the first place. People who live there will be happy, as well as our neighbors.

If we being responsible and diligently take care of the environment, there will less natural disasters and even one day down to zero.

In a much bigger aspect, it's a country, from the healthcare system, education, transportation, public services, public housing, etc, everything will be great itself. Everyone will be served with ease, safety, and respect, as every human being should be treated that way.


Just look at many poor developing countries, both their government and citizens, lazy and irresponsible.

In the end, lazy and irresponsible people work harder and suffering more than diligent people.

They will get the inhumane treatment back to them.

Just watch the news on TV about people living in the slum and then there's a natural disaster that happened there. It's not a good sight.

Not to mention the local government handling them irresponsibly and inhumanely, treat them like cattle or animals. Their life is almost worthless.


Being diligent and responsible beside of part of the iman, it's because we care about others.

Human being has a tendency of being lazy, irresponsible, arrogant, and many other things.

It's the parent's duty to teach their children to become good and right person.


But yes, there's another bad thing about humans.

Which are pride and show-off for the good result after they are being humble and did many good deeds in the past.
