مآ أجمّل أنْ تصمتْ
فيْ ؤجهْ منْ ينتظرْ منِك الخِصَاموما أجمل أنْ تضحك
فيْ وجهْ منْ يُنتظرْ منك البكـاءْHow beautiful is it to stay silent
When someone expects you to be enraged from them.
And how beautiful it is to laugh
When someone thinks you are going to shed tears.

That’s just one of the beautiful things about our deen…our job isn’t to worry about the outcome of things. Our job is to simply do our best towards our goals, and to enjoin good and forbid evil. What results from that is in Allah’s Hands, and it is what’s best for us, whether we realize it then or not.
This year we had an exchange student from Palestine. The first day he was here, the fighter pilots at the Air Force base in our city did a practice flight.
He hid under the desk and was confused when we didn’t react, and just looked at him funny. “Why are you doing that?” We asked him. “Why aren’t you?” He replied. He explained to us why he did that, and in the middle of history class, we learned about the crisis in Palestine.
Wow.

do you ever wish that you could just escape reality and be trapped in a movie theater which showed your favourite films for 24 hours and there was a bed and blankets and popcorn there and no one would say a word to you

Demanding civil rights and just treatment for People of Color has always been about exposing the truth of racial disparities and demanding justice— not about making sure white people’s feelings don’t hurt and white people don’t feel uncomfortable about the reality of racism.
You should feel uncomfortable about the actual racism enough to do something to fix it, not complain about how we tell you about it!
There is a difference in hurting someone’s feelings (“Oh I don’t like your hair”) and treating people like shit because of the color of their skin (“Pardon me while I remind you how shitty of a person you are, how subhuman and less deserving of common fucking courtesy you are because of your white skin”). Is there a system of oppression? Yes. Do we need to continue making progress (because that’s another thing we like to ignore—that progress has been fucking made) toward equality? Yes.
Does the color of anyone’s skin give them the right to be a goddamn douchebag? No. Not white people, not black people, not Native Americans of all tribes, not Japanese nor Chinese nor Korean nor Britsh nor Irish nor African American.
You are not allowed to be a fucking prick to people just because they look different from you, you goddamn hypocrites. And I’m not “tone policing” you by saying that you don’t get to let loose from the rules of common fucking manners just because your skin is a particular hue. Fuck you very much for pretending it does.
A. Wrong and literally no one tells white people they’re subhuman for their race, while people of color are told they’re subhuman and treated as subhuman every day for their race at the expense of white people being treated as superior humans… so don’t pretend you live in a world where white people are degraded and “told they’re subhuman” subliminally or directly especially not in any comparison to the way Brown people are..
