W.P.'s poem “My Kintsuki” still has strong personal characteristics. It contains a huge amount of emotions and implies deeper meanings and topics. The author shows his resolution that he will try his best to fight against unequal, and willing to cost anything. "Calm a storm with a storm", "soothe anger with anger" demonstrates that he is fearless about using violence to push the development of equality and justice for Asian America. This let me think of recent demonstrations for the black. The blacks use violent actions in Minnesota against violence towards them. They try to use these actions to show their anger and force the US government and people in the US to directly face this problem. There were many similar events happened before, but those black didn't get response and respect. This time, people become more certain about their beliefs and people from different states unit together to fight with unequal treatment. The loss of Black's lives makes them so sad, and they want to make some change. I will keep track of this event and see if the government can really do something good for them. I have a question that if the blacks will stop after there is a satisfactory punishment towards that police, or they want more?
