That being said you need to understand that the take over of saigon was very bad (a blood bath) many Vietnamese had die in horrid conditions. Hostility and resentments are understandable but 45 years is a bit too long. Instead of fighting each other as Vietnamese, why don't you blamed the French, for they enslaved the Vietnamese for over one hundred years. Both north and south were slaves to the frech and they also got the US involved in the war as well. Go back to history of vietnam in the 1800s and you will know you your true enemy was/is. Vietnamese people are not enemies of each other, they are just emotional and missed informed.
I was born in the South of Vietnam and grew up during wartime. HERE ARE THE TRUTHS WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT: 1. From the very beginning, the "Republic of Vietnam" (RVN) lacked a solid legal foundation. It was not until 1955 that it was established, and it did so illegitimately on the Southern half of Vietnam as a pure creation of the US to pursue their own interests (Southeast Asian market, increasing influence in a strategic location, preventing the spread of socialism, among others). 2. The direct foundation for the establishment of the RVN was the "State of Vietnam" (1949-1955) - a puppet regime created by the French during the anti-French resistance period, with former Emperor Bảo Đại (who lost his throne after the August Revolution of 1945 - Cách mạng Tháng Tám 1945) serving as the Chief of State. The "three-striped" flag of the RVN was also the national flag of the "State of Vietnam," which was "granted independence" by the French. 3. When the US invaded Vietnam, the government of the RVN wholeheartedly sided with the invading US. No matter how one may justify their actions, it cannot be denied that the true nature of this pseudo-government was that of collaborators with the invading US. 4. After firmly consolidating its puppet government, the RVN initiated a land reform program diametrically opposed to the agrarian reform (aimed at land redistribution to farmers) previously undertaken by the revolution. Through this "land reform," President Ngo Dinh Diem confiscated land from peasants and restored the landlord class, further cementing societal support for the regime. Consequently, despite any superficial attempts to win over the populace, this government failed to garner support of the majority of people in the Southern region. 5. Thus, from the outset, the people of the South knew that this regime had committed numerous atrocities and bore the unmistakable "traitorous gene", evident down to the "very pores" of its being. The transition from the "State of Vietnam" to the "Republic of Vietnam" (RVN) marked the shift from serving as pawns for the French colonialists to serving as pawns for the US empire. 6. Over time, the RVN regime became increasingly corrupted with rampant corruption, internal power struggles, and military coups. This regime ceased to represent the people and, in reality, was abandoned by both the populace and history. 7. In particular, in the name of "fighting for freedom," the armed forces of the RVN (also known as "the Saigon military") closely collaborated with their "masters" - the US expeditionary forces - criminals who committed numerous inhumane acts such as raping Vietnamese women, massacring civilians (illustrated by the infamous case of My Lai massacre), utilizing Agent Orange, napalm bombs, and other types of indiscriminate cluster bombs. With degrading tactics aimed at exterminating Communist prisoners of war (such as nailing into the head, drilling teeth, drilling bones into "rice cake" form, boiling alive, burning genital organs,...), the Phu Quoc prison - a hell on earth created by the Saigon military (as per direct instructions of the US experts) - stands as monumental evidence of the regime's gross human rights violations and medieval-style crimes against humanity, which know no bounds or forgiveness. 8. With its mercenary nature (and even mercenary death), the Saigon military was entirely dependent on the US, devoid of ideals, incapable of representing the Vietnamese nation, and unable to inherit the military traditions of the Vietnamese people. When the US withdrew all aid and ceased all support, this Saigon military (along with the RVN regime) rapidly collapsed, no longer knowing "what to fight for", very much akin to a "patient taken off life support." → Hence, the “crying out loud” people as shown in the video. They are the ones once lived in an environment of degradation and lacking dignity under the RVN regime, now lost their way as they were deceived, coerced, or simply acted out of sheer desperation for a meager livelihood. Before the collapse of the RVN regime, the usurping authorities continued to propagate that the liberating forces of the Southerners would drown Saigon in blood. However, in the end, there was no such bloodshed. On the contrary, those soldiers of the RVN who laid down their arms and returned to the embrace of the Vietnamese people received the forgiveness of the liberation forces of the Southerners. * SHOULD ANYONE WANT TO DENY ANY TRUTH ABOVE, BEAR IN MIND THAT: If the Republic of Vietnam truly had the support of the majority of Southern people, perhaps there would not have been the emergence of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam (in 1960), along with the Liberation Army of South Vietnam (in 1961), with the main force being people from the South, speaking in a Southern accent. ** FOR THE RECORD: During the resistance war against the US, the Vietnamese people's hearts always turned to the Communist Party of Vietnam, both in the North, Central, and Southern regions. The Vietnam War (as it was commonly referred to by mass media in the US, is known in Vietnam as "The Resistance War against the US to save the nation" - "Kháng chiến chống Mỹ cứu nước") from 1955 to 1975 was not a civil war but a righteous resistance war conducted by the entire Vietnamese nation against foreign aggression - the US (plus its allies) and the puppet regime of the US.
Interesting. My Viet friends would always tell me that they can tell/detect a North Viet from the south by their dialect. But this was late 90’s and at that time, things were still hot, especially back in Vietnam itself as I was there at that time.
I mean, at that time, the re-education camps were still in existence and a bunch of the ARVN veterans and anti-communist dissidents who were released from them wouldn’t have been out for that long. Also, the Indochinese refugee crisis was still prevalent in the 90s.
If you know any Vietnamese, it's easy to tell the Northern and Southern accents apart. I've been living in Saigon since 2015 and can speak with both accents. There are more than just the two, by the way - in Central Vietnam, the accents of different areas are quite distinct, e.g. Hue or Da Nang.
Sadly, this is a result of imperialism and colonization. These people don't know their own history. Ho Chi Minh was forced to fight to prevent his country from being split in half where the resources to develop the nation were in EURO-WESTERN hands through a hastily established "South Vietnamese" government designed to give "South Vietnam" legitimacy. Ho Chi Minh didn't want to go to war against traitors in the South who were indoctrinated by all things Western, at the expense of their own cultural identity. But, he couldn't allow VIETNAM to remain partitioned, like foreign powers left Korea! Like Palestine! This is what imperialism and colonization is designed to do: see the world through the imperialists' and colonizers' eyes--and lies, and demonize the very patriots who fought for independence and reunifying their country. I can't blame the posterity of those from "South Vietnam"; I do blame their parents who betrayed their own nation to be like the French.
@@tompeled6193 funny since the US is systemically right wing and every time someone of the left comes, the DNC makes sure they are stamped out like what they did to Bernie Sanders.

Jews view and hold Hitler accountable for the deaths of thousands of their comrades. That was 79 years ago. Do you honestly think they would be pleased to see Hitler’s image or anything Nazi in what they thought was a safe haven for them? Try telling Jews to “let go” and see how they react. There is literally no difference here. Those people endured god knows what and were displaced in a foreign country as a result of HCM and then just when they’ve found safety and freedom, they see that which deeply offends them.

Vietnamese american here and a child of 2 vietnamese americans who were immigrants. I get their frustration but the store owners rights are protected by the 1st amendment so therefore they should respect the owners personal views no matter how much they hate it. Even my parents (who hate ho chi minh) would think the posting of the picture is wrong but still respect it
People are totally neglecting the things Ho Chi Minh did for vietnam. He was banished from Vietnam, though he came back to liberate it. He fought the French, and Japanese. The only reason he became a communist was because they offered to supply the uprising and train him against French indochina. He was a nationalist first, communist second anyways. He got criticised for that. All the bad things the North Vietnamese were done under the general, Le Duan not Ho Chi Minh. He sacraficed everything for Vietnam, and called for everyone to rise and kick the French out.
@Brady Carrigan i'm still wondering where did you learn those history facts from. RFA or VOA or maybe Việt Tân ? why don't you spend about 2-3 days watching The Vienam war of PBS to see who takes real responsibility for every moves of the North Vietnam in the VN war
@Brady Carrigan yeah i know that prison camp but it's not Ho's order. IT'S LE DUAN'S ORDER. By the way they're prisoners not guests, you want us to treat prisoners like we treat our guest and hope that they will provide us information with just asking some questions ?
@Brady Carrigan excuse me which pows said that ? And did you have any recording or footage of those pows who said that Ho Chi Minh ordered to torture them ?
+Dynamic Punk It's not about someone putting themselves in a bad position and asking for a bad business, it's about someone practicing the 1st amendment in a personal way within a personal business, people have every right to come and go within his store as customers, if they don't like what they see, then they can stop coming in as customers, that simple. While these crazy people in the video are protesting as if they are being forced to go to the store on a daily basis to work as slaves, which really is kind of absurd and pathetic.
It's about being stupid, you don't suspend pictures of Hitler or Stalin in communities full of people who suffered from those figures do you? Why then would you tout the murderous HCM?
@@thevannmann Yes, and it's also about being stupid that you don't also suspend unofficial flags that don't resemble or represent anything either, and at least come up with some excuse from the past and exploiting it by blaming something for war crimes just because the war was lost against it in a historical manner, and use it in anyway as a means to suspend an unofficial flag just so that they can be happy in their own little fantasy world, and that's how the democrats are in California, always blaming somethings and alternating it just to suit their own agenda just to make it look as if they were the good guys and the ones opposing them were the bad guys, repugnant and stupid isn't it? because that is what you are starting to sound like.
My question is, and it really bothers me, why do you keep flying the red & yellow flag that no longer represents a country ? The store owner is pretty much telling you this. It's a one unified country of Vietnam no longer separated from North & South. The North wanted this and they were determine to do it while the South was enjoying the fruits of the western world while ignoring Ho Chi Minh's determination to unify Vietnam and get rid of years of foreign occupation. I don't see people flying the flag of the once great country of Rhodesia or the National Socialist flag that is forbidden. So to all Vietnamese exiled in the US, "DEAL WITH IT" & move on. Your grand kids born here probably could care less about it since they are officially "institutionalized" here in the US.
Lol yeah, the new generations of Vietnamese are all whitewashed and being taught Western, European history. It is sad if you think about it. Losing their roots and the connection to where their parents came from. I'm a first generation Vietnamese immigrants. I try as much as I can to learn and reconnect with my Vietnamese roots.
1. Let's get something clear. The reason people in South VN hate HCM is more complex than you think. This starts from the time VN was a French colony. At that time, the people are poor and mass starvation is a real threat. So the general mindset back then is if you are poor, you would certainly die. This became a wave of fear when the proletariats under HCM took control of North VN, because "proletariat" is translated as "vô sản", meaning "no wealth". Essentially, people feared HCM like a grim reaper. Thus, many of them chose to flee to the South. Moreover, the government of South VN would spread propagandas to amplify that fear so as to remain their political power. And the result is in this video 2. The South do not enjoy the fruits of democracy. Like I had said prior, the people of the South feared the North, so they had to endure heavy protection taxes, which would be used to fund US military operations and buying weapons/foods/military aids for US troops because afterall the US was in VN as a mercenary force. Under Ngô Đình Diệm, a land reform that gave exclusive rights to foreign land owners (mostly French) and limited the rights to own farming lands for the Vietnamese people was carried out, resulted in mass genocides like in Bến Tre. I think you could find footages of such reform even in old American documents where they shown the burning of the entire village and rice fields as "fighting the communists". This would explain why the North could sent spies into the South. 3. The people who fled to the US are the wealthy, living mostly in big cities like Saigon and heavily influenced by Southern government's propaganda of fear. So HCM is like the Devil to them. Plus, not many of them go back to VN because their fear are still too big. I think fear will subside over time and the colors of flags will too fade, but our patriotism will always triumph.
Then why did your fellow MAGA loving patriotics wave that same flag when they stormed this nations Capitol after Trump lost. Mmmmmm? So a South Vietnamese can't wave his former flag to represent his own fight for freedom but a country bumping hick from Alabama can wave it to support Trump?
Call them whatever you want. If communism was so great, why did that guy come to America? Those people were displaced from VN because they found communism to oppressive and cruel so found refuge in America.
@@DiHiongTanthey fled Vietnam because in the 80’s life was poor and broke, bad economic decisions resulting in inflation over 200% that even if you worked for a year you couldn’t afford a small radio. On top of that the war in Cambodia and border conflict in China made many just decide to flee for a better life. It wasn’t none of the ‘escaping oppressive communist’ maybe partly but thats just a excuse a lot of former ARVN soldiers like to make
Ok Ho Chi Minh did this and that but America killed how many? Vietnam has been held by the French, Imperial Japan, the US tried, The Chinese tried. Those Invaders all left Vietnam was United, the south Vietnamese had a dictator, I’d rather be lead by a person who gives more freedom and loves his people not lead by a south dictator.
China was supporting a genocidal administration that must not be named whose government was inspired by China’s government after Vietnam “invaded” it. Vietnam didn’t invade Cambodia, they liberated it and saved every Cambodian who were alive at time. Also, don’t forget the Mongols
All vietnamese americans were collaborateurs that helped oppress the vietnamese people and in return got rich out of that. I mean I would also be mad if I lose all my money lol
Just to clarify, the judge didn't order the removal of the portrait for public-order reasons, which would have been obviously unconstitutional, but because the landlord showed that it violated the lease agreement.
Well you also have to remember that they left Vietnam to escape communism which is far left and right (communism and socialism are pretty much regarded as the same in the political spectrum) and for them to bring that back to the USA, is just unthinkable to them. What had happen to them during that time period, there is a real reason to protest. Same thing goes for the cubans.
and I think Vietnamese people lean right but not totally a conservative. I would say they are pretty moderate because I still like socialist ideas (retirement, 401K, etc.) but also like the idea of free market.
They were tortured and imprisoned, that's why they left. Just brings back bad memories. That's why they are protesting, and protesting for the right reasons because America is suppose to be anti-Communist/anti-Socialist
@@nicholasm4974 Thats the funniest thing I have ever read. Communism and socialism are very different. Socialism as defined by Marx is worker control of the means of production, unions control big businesses and all small businesses become co-ops essentially. Communism is the complete change where its illegal to own a business or hold kinds of possessions which are commonly used to extort the working class. So for example, if we made most things that we need to survive in this day and age as public utilities. It is further stated SPECIFICALLY MULTIPLE TIMES that communism is both the end goal of socialism and BOTH a stateless and classless society. IDK but the last time I checked Vietnam was a nationstate. But what would Marx know about Communism? Also last time I checked there were private businesses that were privately owned by individuals in Vietnam. Therefore they don't even cross the bar of socialism anymore. Point isthis argument Nicholas is kind of dumb. And shows how you should probably do your research first before making definitive statements about entire ethnic groups and their home country.
Renowned British philosopher Bertrand Rusell, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1966 wrote about Wilfred Burchett: "If you owe someone to you for awakening the Western public opinion of the nature of this war and making everyone someone who knew of the struggle of the Vietnamese people was Wilfred Burchett ". And George Burchett, the son of journalist Wilfred Burchett during a recent visit to Vietnam said: "I grew up with legends about Uncle Ho, about the struggles of the Vietnamese people, about the country of Vietnam. Only part of it. What my father did made me learn a lot about history, about war and peace. It's still the great lessons of history. "

Just found this video by accident, after searching for some Ho Chi Min inspired songs so you might say I'm biased. But the fact is, these people a who are protesting are non-recognized undemocratic band of dissidents supporting a very minority internationally unrecognized military hunta (at the time only the government in North Vietnam was recognised in UN, so you can say these south Vietnamese were even more undemocratic than the communists) on the wrong side of history. With all due respect for American casualties of the war, due to extreme misjudgment of intelligence services and wrongful American involvement in that war I cannot say I feel any sympathy for these people. And by the end, the victor makes the history, and he is always right, in this case the North Vietnamese won and are the ones who were proven to be on the correct side of history. It is clear, that if it were free elections across Vietnam at that time, the Viet Cong or Ho Chi Min would have won if not by 80, for sure by 70% so the support for their cause was overwhelming and they were the legitimate government for sure. Furthermore, Ho Chi Min is a nationalist first and communist second, he would use whatever means and allies possible to achieve his goal of liberating Vietnam from foreign invaders. And I don't see any American veterans protesting here, only these Vietnamese diissidents.

It’s not necessary and exclusive. The store owner is making a stance, and while yeah it’s free speech, it is a divisive tactic to hurt the Vietnamese community in the US.
Well how do you think it feels for the shop owner who was probably from North Vietnam, which is universally recognized from the flag in the store and not the southern flag, and may have had to live through the destruction of the civil war (destruction sped up by the US's bombings across Vietnam). While I don't think Ho was perfect, his leadership resulted in the end of war and destruction of an enemy hellbent on taking the north violently (yes South Vietnam and Ngo Dinh Diem were also incredibly ruthless if not more). We don't know the store owner's stance, for all we know the owner was also from South Vietnam and just takes pride in heritage.
Yes, the shop owner has rights to honor Ho Chi Minh. But our red flag with the yellow star is the one recognised and official. That yellow flag does not represent the Vietnamese community in America, it belongs to a regime that no longer exists, not all Vietnamese people in the US support it. The shop owner is just showing patriotism, how can it be a divisive tactic to hurt sb? I mean you can't consider love as a mean to upset people. In fact I see these people, making a protest right outside the store, beating him up, signing to expel him from the country, is the one that's hurting him.
they fled Vietnam because in the 80’s life was poor and broke, bad economic decisions resulting in inflation over 200% that even if you worked for a year you couldn’t afford a small radio. On top of that the war in Cambodia and border conflict in China made many just decide to flee for a better life. It wasn’t none of the ‘escaping oppressive communist’ maybe partly but thats just a excuse a lot of former ARVN soldiers like to make
Well, I understand the protestors. Republic of Vietnam fell, and the North Vietnam government killed and expelled many citizens, especially the Christians, rich people like landlords. They just came to the USA, not to get killed, with nothing in their hands. How would they not hate Ho Chi Minh? As a South Korean, I can relare to them. Families were split during the Korean War. Youths scattered in the battlefield. Still, many people are missing their split family, not even knowing if they're still alive or not. And I think they've experienced the same thing. War took everything they owned. They had to flee across the ocean, to avoid the red hand of Communists, trying to kill them.
Legally, the shop owner's rights are protected. If the shop owner wants to freely express his opinions and this manner, and put them on display, I feel like a response of whatever manner is warranted. Person A expresses his views, Person B expresses back.
Exactly. If you want to express opinions, be prepared for the consequences

Go back to history of vietnam in the 1800s and you will know you your true enemy was/is.
Vietnamese people are not enemies of each other, they are just emotional and missed informed.
I was born in the South of Vietnam and grew up during wartime. HERE ARE THE TRUTHS WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT:
1. From the very beginning, the "Republic of Vietnam" (RVN) lacked a solid legal foundation. It was not until 1955 that it was established, and it did so illegitimately on the Southern half of Vietnam as a pure creation of the US to pursue their own interests (Southeast Asian market, increasing influence in a strategic location, preventing the spread of socialism, among others).
2. The direct foundation for the establishment of the RVN was the "State of Vietnam" (1949-1955) - a puppet regime created by the French during the anti-French resistance period, with former Emperor Bảo Đại (who lost his throne after the August Revolution of 1945 - Cách mạng Tháng Tám 1945) serving as the Chief of State. The "three-striped" flag of the RVN was also the national flag of the "State of Vietnam," which was "granted independence" by the French.
3. When the US invaded Vietnam, the government of the RVN wholeheartedly sided with the invading US. No matter how one may justify their actions, it cannot be denied that the true nature of this pseudo-government was that of collaborators with the invading US.
4. After firmly consolidating its puppet government, the RVN initiated a land reform program diametrically opposed to the agrarian reform (aimed at land redistribution to farmers) previously undertaken by the revolution. Through this "land reform," President Ngo Dinh Diem confiscated land from peasants and restored the landlord class, further cementing societal support for the regime. Consequently, despite any superficial attempts to win over the populace, this government failed to garner support of the majority of people in the Southern region.
5. Thus, from the outset, the people of the South knew that this regime had committed numerous atrocities and bore the unmistakable "traitorous gene", evident down to the "very pores" of its being. The transition from the "State of Vietnam" to the "Republic of Vietnam" (RVN) marked the shift from serving as pawns for the French colonialists to serving as pawns for the US empire.
6. Over time, the RVN regime became increasingly corrupted with rampant corruption, internal power struggles, and military coups. This regime ceased to represent the people and, in reality, was abandoned by both the populace and history.
7. In particular, in the name of "fighting for freedom," the armed forces of the RVN (also known as "the Saigon military") closely collaborated with their "masters" - the US expeditionary forces - criminals who committed numerous inhumane acts such as raping Vietnamese women, massacring civilians (illustrated by the infamous case of My Lai massacre), utilizing Agent Orange, napalm bombs, and other types of indiscriminate cluster bombs. With degrading tactics aimed at exterminating Communist prisoners of war (such as nailing into the head, drilling teeth, drilling bones into "rice cake" form, boiling alive, burning genital organs,...), the Phu Quoc prison - a hell on earth created by the Saigon military (as per direct instructions of the US experts) - stands as monumental evidence of the regime's gross human rights violations and medieval-style crimes against humanity, which know no bounds or forgiveness.
8. With its mercenary nature (and even mercenary death), the Saigon military was entirely dependent on the US, devoid of ideals, incapable of representing the Vietnamese nation, and unable to inherit the military traditions of the Vietnamese people. When the US withdrew all aid and ceased all support, this Saigon military (along with the RVN regime) rapidly collapsed, no longer knowing "what to fight for", very much akin to a "patient taken off life support."
→ Hence, the “crying out loud” people as shown in the video. They are the ones once lived in an environment of degradation and lacking dignity under the RVN regime, now lost their way as they were deceived, coerced, or simply acted out of sheer desperation for a meager livelihood. Before the collapse of the RVN regime, the usurping authorities continued to propagate that the liberating forces of the Southerners would drown Saigon in blood. However, in the end, there was no such bloodshed. On the contrary, those soldiers of the RVN who laid down their arms and returned to the embrace of the Vietnamese people received the forgiveness of the liberation forces of the Southerners.
* SHOULD ANYONE WANT TO DENY ANY TRUTH ABOVE, BEAR IN MIND THAT: If the Republic of Vietnam truly had the support of the majority of Southern people, perhaps there would not have been the emergence of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam (in 1960), along with the Liberation Army of South Vietnam (in 1961), with the main force being people from the South, speaking in a Southern accent.
** FOR THE RECORD: During the resistance war against the US, the Vietnamese people's hearts always turned to the Communist Party of Vietnam, both in the North, Central, and Southern regions. The Vietnam War (as it was commonly referred to by mass media in the US, is known in Vietnam as "The Resistance War against the US to save the nation" - "Kháng chiến chống Mỹ cứu nước") from 1955 to 1975 was not a civil war but a righteous resistance war conducted by the entire Vietnamese nation against foreign aggression - the US (plus its allies) and the puppet regime of the US.
great truth, hope everyone see this
Interesting. My Viet friends would always tell me that they can tell/detect a North Viet from the south by their dialect. But this was late 90’s and at that time, things were still hot, especially back in Vietnam itself as I was there at that time.
I mean, at that time, the re-education camps were still in existence and a bunch of the ARVN veterans and anti-communist dissidents who were released from them wouldn’t have been out for that long. Also, the Indochinese refugee crisis was still prevalent in the 90s.
If you know any Vietnamese, it's easy to tell the Northern and Southern accents apart. I've been living in Saigon since 2015 and can speak with both accents. There are more than just the two, by the way - in Central Vietnam, the accents of different areas are quite distinct, e.g. Hue or Da Nang.
Sadly, this is a result of imperialism and colonization. These people don't know their own history.
Ho Chi Minh was forced to fight to prevent his country from being split in half where the resources to develop the nation were in EURO-WESTERN hands through a hastily established "South Vietnamese" government designed to give "South Vietnam" legitimacy.
Ho Chi Minh didn't want to go to war against traitors in the South who were indoctrinated by all things Western, at the expense of their own cultural identity. But, he couldn't allow VIETNAM to remain partitioned, like foreign powers left Korea! Like Palestine!
This is what imperialism and colonization is designed to do: see the world through the imperialists' and colonizers' eyes--and lies, and demonize the very patriots who fought for independence and reunifying their country.
I can't blame the posterity of those from "South Vietnam"; I do blame their parents who betrayed their own nation to be like the French.

My question is, and it really bothers me, why do you keep flying the red & yellow flag that no longer represents a country ? The store owner is pretty much telling you this. It's a one unified country of Vietnam no longer separated from North & South. The North wanted this and they were determine to do it while the South was enjoying the fruits of the western world while ignoring Ho Chi Minh's determination to unify Vietnam and get rid of years of foreign occupation. I don't see people flying the flag of the once great country of Rhodesia or the National Socialist flag that is forbidden. So to all Vietnamese exiled in the US, "DEAL WITH IT" & move on. Your grand kids born here probably could care less about it since they are officially "institutionalized" here in the US.
Lol yeah, the new generations of Vietnamese are all whitewashed and being taught Western, European history. It is sad if you think about it. Losing their roots and the connection to where their parents came from.
I'm a first generation Vietnamese immigrants. I try as much as I can to learn and reconnect with my Vietnamese roots.
1. Let's get something clear. The reason people in South VN hate HCM is more complex than you think. This starts from the time VN was a French colony. At that time, the people are poor and mass starvation is a real threat. So the general mindset back then is if you are poor, you would certainly die. This became a wave of fear when the proletariats under HCM took control of North VN, because "proletariat" is translated as "vô sản", meaning "no wealth". Essentially, people feared HCM like a grim reaper. Thus, many of them chose to flee to the South. Moreover, the government of South VN would spread propagandas to amplify that fear so as to remain their political power. And the result is in this video
2. The South do not enjoy the fruits of democracy. Like I had said prior, the people of the South feared the North, so they had to endure heavy protection taxes, which would be used to fund US military operations and buying weapons/foods/military aids for US troops because afterall the US was in VN as a mercenary force. Under Ngô Đình Diệm, a land reform that gave exclusive rights to foreign land owners (mostly French) and limited the rights to own farming lands for the Vietnamese people was carried out, resulted in mass genocides like in Bến Tre. I think you could find footages of such reform even in old American documents where they shown the burning of the entire village and rice fields as "fighting the communists". This would explain why the North could sent spies into the South.
3. The people who fled to the US are the wealthy, living mostly in big cities like Saigon and heavily influenced by Southern government's propaganda of fear. So HCM is like the Devil to them. Plus, not many of them go back to VN because their fear are still too big. I think fear will subside over time and the colors of flags will too fade, but our patriotism will always triumph.

Imagine being so triggered by a picture despite being conservatives, maybe they were the real snowflakes all along.
Well you also have to remember that they left Vietnam to escape communism which is far left and right (communism and socialism are pretty much regarded as the same in the political spectrum) and for them to bring that back to the USA, is just unthinkable to them. What had happen to them during that time period, there is a real reason to protest. Same thing goes for the cubans.
and I think Vietnamese people lean right but not totally a conservative. I would say they are pretty moderate because I still like socialist ideas (retirement, 401K, etc.) but also like the idea of free market.
They were tortured and imprisoned, that's why they left. Just brings back bad memories. That's why they are protesting, and protesting for the right reasons because America is suppose to be anti-Communist/anti-Socialist
@@nicholasm4974 Thats the funniest thing I have ever read. Communism and socialism are very different. Socialism as defined by Marx is worker control of the means of production, unions control big businesses and all small businesses become co-ops essentially. Communism is the complete change where its illegal to own a business or hold kinds of possessions which are commonly used to extort the working class. So for example, if we made most things that we need to survive in this day and age as public utilities. It is further stated SPECIFICALLY MULTIPLE TIMES that communism is both the end goal of socialism and BOTH a stateless and classless society. IDK but the last time I checked Vietnam was a nationstate. But what would Marx know about Communism? Also last time I checked there were private businesses that were privately owned by individuals in Vietnam. Therefore they don't even cross the bar of socialism anymore.
Point isthis argument Nicholas is kind of dumb. And shows how you should probably do your research first before making definitive statements about entire ethnic groups and their home country.
@@TheRavenOfDestiny Well if you dive deeper into the political spectrum, it's not a spectrum at all. It's a circle.
Renowned British philosopher Bertrand Rusell, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1966 wrote about Wilfred Burchett: "If you owe someone to you for awakening the Western public opinion of the nature of this war and making everyone someone who knew of the struggle of the Vietnamese people was Wilfred Burchett ". And George Burchett, the son of journalist Wilfred Burchett during a recent visit to Vietnam said: "I grew up with legends about Uncle Ho, about the struggles of the Vietnamese people, about the country of Vietnam. Only part of it. What my father did made me learn a lot about history, about war and peace. It's still the great lessons of history. "

Ho Chi Minh was a great man and leader. Shame on them.
Ho chi minh was not do some research my guy
Just found this video by accident, after searching for some Ho Chi Min inspired songs so you might say I'm biased. But the fact is, these people a who are protesting are non-recognized undemocratic band of dissidents supporting a very minority internationally unrecognized military hunta (at the time only the government in North Vietnam was recognised in UN, so you can say these south Vietnamese were even more undemocratic than the communists) on the wrong side of history. With all due respect for American casualties of the war, due to extreme misjudgment of intelligence services and wrongful American involvement in that war I cannot say I feel any sympathy for these people. And by the end, the victor makes the history, and he is always right, in this case the North Vietnamese won and are the ones who were proven to be on the correct side of history. It is clear, that if it were free elections across Vietnam at that time, the Viet Cong or Ho Chi Min would have won if not by 80, for sure by 70% so the support for their cause was overwhelming and they were the legitimate government for sure. Furthermore, Ho Chi Min is a nationalist first and communist second, he would use whatever means and allies possible to achieve his goal of liberating Vietnam from foreign invaders. And I don't see any American veterans protesting here, only these Vietnamese diissidents. Though, with all due respect to the real American veterans and casualties of that war, I think would be a nice move from the owner to remove these kinds of symbols.
I've always said, American Viets are more American than most Americans..
Honestly if the owner wanted to put up the flag and picture he should’ve done it say in a back room or somewhere where his customers wouldn’t see it.

Well how do you think it feels for the shop owner who was probably from North Vietnam, which is universally recognized from the flag in the store and not the southern flag, and may have had to live through the destruction of the civil war (destruction sped up by the US's bombings across Vietnam). While I don't think Ho was perfect, his leadership resulted in the end of war and destruction of an enemy hellbent on taking the north violently (yes South Vietnam and Ngo Dinh Diem were also incredibly ruthless if not more). We don't know the store owner's stance, for all we know the owner was also from South Vietnam and just takes pride in heritage.
Yes, the shop owner has rights to honor Ho Chi Minh. But our red flag with the yellow star is the one recognised and official. That yellow flag does not represent the Vietnamese community in America, it belongs to a regime that no longer exists, not all Vietnamese people in the US support it. The shop owner is just showing patriotism, how can it be a divisive tactic to hurt sb? I mean you can't consider love as a mean to upset people.

Youths scattered in the battlefield. Still, many people are missing their split family, not even knowing if they're still alive or not. And I think they've experienced the same thing. War took everything they owned. They had to flee across the ocean, to avoid the red hand of Communists, trying to kill them.
