A new U.S. quarter featuring the likeness of Anna May Wong, a pioneering golden age actor considered to be Hollywood's first Chinese American movie star, will soon go into circulation.

Wong, who launched her career in the silent film era and appeared in more than 60 movies, will be the first Asian American person to be featured on U.S. currency, according to The New York Times.

The coin, which will begin shipping on Oct. 24, features a close-up of Wong’s head resting on her hand. She’s sporting her signature flapper-era bangs, and in a nod to her Hollywood legacy, the coin is framed by dots representing marquee lights.


“Many prominent actors from the 1920s and 1930s saw their name framed by lightbulbs on movie theater marquees, so I thought it made sense to feature Anna May Wong in this way,” Emily Damstra, who designed the coin for the United States Mint, said in a press release.


“Along with the hard work, determination, and skill Anna May Wong brought to the profession of acting, I think it was her face and expressive gestures that really captivated movie audiences, so I included these elements next to her name,” Damstra added.

The Anna May Wong coin also includes the words “quarter dollar” and “E pluribus unum," the Latin phrase meaning "out of many, one."

The reverse side of the coin, like other U.S. quarters, shows the face of George Washington in profile.

Wong was born Wong Liu Tsong in 1905 in Los Angeles. She made her first film appearance as an extra at age 14 in 1919’s “The Red Lantern,” and landed her breakthrough role in the 1922 silent drama “The Toll of the Sea.”

Throughout her career, Wong fought against biased attitudes in Hollywood that limited Asian American actors to stereotypical roles.

She was reportedly frustrated by laws at the time that banned actors of different races from kissing onscreen, according to the Times — which would have prevented her from playing the romantic lead opposite a white star.

Dismayed by the lack of opportunities in Hollywood, Wong left the U.S. in 1928 to seek better roles in Europe, where she enjoyed greater success, according to The Los Angeles Times.

Wong was granted a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960. She died of a heart attack in 1961 at the age of 56, according to the National Women's History Museum.

Wong is one of several women being honored as part of the U.S. Mint’s American Women Quarters Program.

Each year from 2022 to 2025, the program will release five new quarters honoring an influential woman from American history.

This year’s honorees also include writer and civil rights advocate Maya Angelou and pioneering astronaut and physicist Sally Ride.

The two other 2022 honorees are Nina Otera-Warren, a leader of New Mexico’s suffrage movement, and Wilma Mankiller, the first woman elected principal chief of the Cherokee Nation.

How has it been debunked or what about it is not true? Let me see this shit.

here we go...

****COLIN WARNING**** IF YOUR NOT GOING TO READ THE ENTIRE POST THEN DON'T BOTHER COMMENTING ON IT!

ok..lets get to the nitty gritty of what those "crime reduction programs" consist of specifically.... this is from congress website...the actual law:

first the definition of hate crimes then the reason why the bill is neccesary:

(1) The incidence of violence known as hate crimes, or
crimes motivated by bias, poses a serious national problem.
(2) According to data obtained by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the incidence of such violence increased in 2019,
the most recent year for which data is available.
(3) In 1990, Congress enacted the Hate Crime Statistics Act
(Public Law 101-275; 28 U.S.C. 534 note) to provide the Federal
Government, law enforcement agencies, and the public with data
regarding the incidence of hate crime. The Hate Crime Statistics
Act and the Matthew Shepard and James

[[Page 135 STAT. 267]]

Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act (division E of Public Law
111-84; 123 Stat. 2835) have enabled Federal authorities to
understand and, where appropriate, investigate and prosecute
hate crimes.
(4) A more complete understanding of the national problem
posed by hate crime is in the public interest and supports the
Federal interest in eradicating bias-motivated violence
referenced in section 249(b)(1)(C) of title 18, United States
Code.
(5) However, a complete understanding of the national
problem posed by hate crimes is hindered by incomplete data from
Federal, State, and local jurisdictions through the Uniform
Crime Reports program authorized under section 534 of title 28,
United States Code, and administered by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
(6) Multiple factors contribute to the provision of
inaccurate and incomplete data regarding the incidence of hate
crime through the Uniform Crime Reports program. A significant
contributing factor is the quality and quantity of training that
State and local law enforcement agencies receive on the
identification and reporting of suspected bias-motivated crimes.
(7) The problem of crimes motivated by bias is sufficiently
serious, widespread, and interstate in nature as to warrant
Federal financial assistance to States and local jurisdictions.
(8) Federal financial assistance with regard to certain
violent crimes motivated by bias enables Federal, State, and
local authorities to work together as partners in the
investigation and prosecution of such crimes.



this part is the actual implemention of those "crime reduction programs":

(d) <> Reporting of Hate
Crimes.--
(1) Implementation grants.--
(A) In general.--The Attorney General may make

^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS IS THE CRIME REDUCTION PROGRAMS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

thats what been ENFORCED!


nowhere in there do you read about procedures and charges and how fast people need to be locked up....

nowhere in there do you read about charging people a certain amount of years....You know...the crime busting shit that YOU'RE thinking about.

and nowhere in there do you even see language that makes ANY OF THIS LAW specific to the asian community beyond the fucking title its given in the media.

:rolleyes2: :rolleyes2: :rolleyes2: :rolleyes2:

This law is about as substantive and action pack as Juneteenth dude. All they did is allocate tax payer money to something they SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING and called it THE ANTI ASIAN HATE CRIME LAW...and you guys went all :scream::scream::scream::fuckyousay:

oh yeah...its mainly if not wholly a databasing function which means gathering information to do what?? STUDY! :hmm::hmm::hmm::hmm::hmm:

That is the "tangibles" Asians got.

guess what... Asian activist groups OPPOSED the damn thing...why???

Over 75 Asian, LGBTQ groups oppose anti-Asian hate crimes bill

What they're saying:
In Wednesday's statement, published on writer Jenn Fang's blog, "Reappropriate," activists called the bill a contradiction of "Asian solidarity with Black, Brown, undocumented, trans, low-income, sex worker, and other marginalized communities whose liberation is bound together."
  • The bill does not create "systemic change" and only increases "crime statistics collection," the organizations write.
  • Relying on crime statistics does not actually prevent violence, they argue, pointing to the 2009 Matthew Shepard Act.
    • The Matthew Shepard Act expanded federal hate crime categories to include sexual orientation and gender identity, but the statement notes that the U.S. continues to see high rates of deadly anti-trans violence.
  • Bolstering law enforcement "ignores that police violence is also anti-Asian violence, which has disproportionately targeted Black and Brown Asians," they write.
    • The statement cites the deaths of Christian Hall and Angelo Quinto, Asian Americans who were recently killed by police during mental health crises.
The organizations called on members of Congress to oppose the legislation and instead shift resources from law enforcement to communities.
  • Investing in non-carceral alternatives and removing police presence from neighborhoods are among their demands.

but none this plays into the popular Asians got tangibles narratives black pseudo activists (especially on BGOL) like to play up.... :rolleyes2: :rolleyes2: :rolleyes2: :rolleyes2: :rolleyes2:

**********CONGRATULATIONS!!! IF YOURE READING THIS LINE THEN YOU HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THE "ANTI-ASIAN CRIME BILL" IS NOT A TANGIBLE!!!*************

so its been DEBUNKED!
