1 notesPeople are idiots. If you’re not brown toned with long curly/wavy hair, they doubt that you’re mixed-race. So, because she’s dark-skinned with a non-curly hair pattern, she can’t be mixed with Asian? Or because he has a very pale skin tone with bone-straight hair, his mother can’t be Black? I…

17 notesBody of Fred Hampton, national spokesman for the Black Panther Party, who was assassinated by members of the Chicago Police Department, as part of a COINTELPRO operation.

4005 notesThe thing about this, too, is how hypocritical it is for Americans (especially and mostly Christians) to assume that Islam is to blame for ‘Islamic’ terrorism. Religion is a factor in a lot of things and, yes, it’s a factor in terrorism. But the Christians who will vilify Islam for terrorism will conveniently ignore Breivik and McVeigh, along with anti-choice terrorists, all of which Christianity could be blamed for as easily as Islam could be blamed for 9/11.
But Christians will deny that Christian terrorists are ‘real Christians’, along with for the most part denying that Christian terrorists are real terrorists, as they tend to be white and apparently you cannot be both white and a terrorist at the same time. White Christians also don’t take into account that plenty of muslims do not count terrorists as real Muslims. ONLY Christians get that privilege.
Sure, analyze the connection between Islam and terror all you want, but if you refuse to do the same for Christianity then you’re just looking for excuses to reinforce your racism and Islamophobia.
yeah, the only thing i’d change here is that it’s not just “plenty of muslims” disagree with terrorism. NO REAL MUSLIM AGREES WITH IT. NOT ONE. because terrorism in and of itself, especially based on religion, is strictly FORBIDDEN in the qur’an.
there is nothing in our culture that could condone that. nothing.Thank you for adding this, dear. Because I’m not a Muslim I’m very uncomfortable with differentiating between ‘those who claim Islam’ and ‘real Muslims’, but I’m glad you said this.
