Cardi B continues to use her star power via social media to address her political views in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The “I Like It” songstress posted an Instagram story video on Sunday (March 22), urging her 60.9 million followers to stop hate crimes towards Chinese and Asian-Americans who are scapegoated for the outbreak.
“I want to let you guys know, let’s stop being xenophobic. Let’s stop saying fucked up jokes. Let’s stop having crazy anger because I be seeing a lot of Asians get beat up and all that shit,” Cardi B said.
“At this moment in life, for once, let’s all be one race because at the end of the day, in the eyes of God, we are all one. The more we’re nicer to each other, the more God will forgive us and the faster we’ll get cured off this shit.”
Since the end of 2019, there are been a litany of reports alleging that the coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China. The virus has spread across the world causing “shelter in place” mandates or state lockdowns of commerce throughout most of the U.S and world at large.
According to a New York Times report published Monday, a San Francisco University study found a 50 percent rise in coronavirus-related news articles and anti-Asian discrimination between Feb. 9 and March 7. Plus, there has been 150 hate crime cases to the Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council’s website since March 19.
“We really don’t know who’s lying because the Chinese are saying that our country put that disease over there. And you never know if it’s true because at the end of the day, a lot of people owe money to China,” Cardi added.
Also during her diatribe, Cardi emphatically claimed that stopping the racism against Asian-Americans begins with the government.

Despite the World Health Organization’s guidance to not attribute illnesses and pandemics to specific ethnicities and nationalities, Donald Trump has used the term “Chinese virus” on Twitter and in several daily press briefings about the U.S. Coronavirus Task Force efforts to combat COVID-19.
“You know people be making jokes and stuff, little white jokes. Little jokes that be xenophobic and it be so harmless, I feel like everybody’s guilty of it,” Cardi continued.
“But it’s when certain people do it, when people represents [sic] our country, I feel like that is not right to do. Because at the end of the day, let’s ask ourselves this? Do we really want beef? Do we really want smoke with China?”
At press time, Worldometers reports 43,449 and 545 domestic coronavirus cases and deaths related to them, respectively. There are now over 378,000 cases worldwide.

The narrative that hatred for Asians has exploded in all this is complete and utter bullshit. How would I know? I am Asian. I’m Japanese, and fuck the Chinese. It’s their fault. They literally threatened to punish and imprison the FIRST doctor in China to bring the existence of the virus to the publics attention. If instead of threatening the man they listened to him, they could have kept the disease in Wuhan, and stopped it form spreading to the entire world. Now, that doctor is DEAD from the virus he tried to save the world from. Now, the Chinese Government has officially issued an apology to the deceased doctor and his family… It would be one thing if the Chinese Government just ignored the claims coming from this doctor, but the fact they attempted to silence him and threatened his freedom, obviously means they had no intention of ever helping stop the spread. Seems to me that China wanted all of this to happen, as if it was on purpose! It’s boy beyond China to sacrifice millions of their own helpless citizens to attack the rest of the world.
Yeah let’s discriminate against Chinese Americans because the Chinese government may have handled this outbreak with nefarious intentions. Great idea let’s do it.
You missed the entire point you dumb fuck. And discriminate against Chinese Americans? Who the fuck said to do that? Nobody. In talking about geography, because the virus originated in a specific location. Why do u think we are doing so many quarantines in America? Because China failed to successfully do so, and now the entire world has to deal with it. That’s right. And nobody is discriminating, aside from the extremely uncommon cases that the media loves to shove in your face.
Nobody said to discriminate against American people. He clearly was talking about China, as a country… Because the virus originated there. And it’s not discrimination to take common sense steps to contain a highly contagious virus.
US released the virus during thw Wuhan military war games in october 2019, look it up.
This dude reads one article and claims he knows everything. That SAME OFFICIAL who said we brought the virus (through our own athletes) which alone is crazy, has been on record numerous times bashing the US and blaming us. Thats his Mission Objective and yours is to obviously spread ignorance.
If you actually believe America released this on China you are a complete retard. Do you really think our government would release a highly contagious virus to the world, having absolutely no cure or vaccine in America? Hint… If we ever do engage in bio warfare, we already have the cures and remedies to stopping it within our own country. It takes a special kind of idiot to willfully believe Chinese propaganda.
I mean, if the US Government released Corona Virus to China on purpose, already knowing how contagious it is, don’t ya think we maybe, just maybeeee would have cut off immigration from Wuhan China or China on general to America and Europe, back in 2019? So, you actually believe we did that, and then just sat back and allowed the 5 million Wuhan citizens to just come and go to America as they please with a deadly man made contagion? See how fucking stupid you sound now???
Bro I agree with a lot of what you said, but let’s be clear. The Chinese public don’t have any say in what policies or actions their totalitarian government takes. The blame needs to go on the Chinese government(Dictatorship). They literally let their own people starve and die all the time.
I understand that. I’m not blaming Chinese People themselves one bit. I’m not blaming anyone Asian. I blame the communist government. The Chinese people are mostly good people, like any other country.
This is the “woman” Bernie Sanders sat down with and empowered with his position in Government… Needless to say, I’m glad Bernie is getting his ass kicked by Biden, who also sucks. Idc who or what u like politically, but if u think Cardi B has the brains to understand foreign policy, then please, kill yourself
???? for real
Imagine if somebody said something positive about white people and how the media, politicians, hollywood need to stop inciting hatred for white people.. imagine the outrage
I see it from the outside in as well. The media is becoming anti white, and the media also likes to de masculate black men. The same people who will tell you fatherless black families are fine the way they are, will NEVER have a fatherless child themselves. The media is evil. It truly is the enemy of the people. Stirring up hatred… Americans could be so much happier without the media making sheep hate one another.
PR issued damage control from her previous statements about celebrities getting paid to say they have the Rona.
Democrats are dooooone when they gotta put a dirty men drugging thot infront of cameras to get political. Lmao its such a sad sight the pandering thwt goes on.. her pussy gotta smell like old chips
‘Racial Unity’ as in ‘every other race against white people’ right.
Our government is just as guilty as theirs for not informing us and still lying. We the people as a whole whether its here or there didn’t deserve to be at risk of dying. All of us are confined to our homes with no answers. It really doesn’t matter what race you are when you’re poor. People need to take their anger out on our government who have betrayed most Americans. Who are they to put a price on our lives and suffering. Always putting one race against another meanwhile they screw us all. We always can stand against each other but not against them. We have nothing we need to fight this disease, to protect us, testing, food or income. Now once again they’re deciding who they’ll help but this has affected us all. Having the nerves to leave some tax payers out to dry. Him focusing on race is just another way to blindfold you to what he’s not doing. This is all political for him. Our tv is nothing but his campaign. He’s a racist. He call every race names and blame them for his short comings. It’s what his campaign stands on hate and name calling.
