She was just sitting there in an attempt to ‘show what Muslims are really like’ wearing a shirt that referenced PEACE and these assholes kindly escorted her ass out for absolutely no reason after verbally assaulting her. This is what respectability politics gets us. Nothing. Fuck coming in peace ma. See how they did you when you tried to join the team? Fuck the team. Buy and coach your own shit. I’m so heated she was treated that way but I can’t believe she thought it would go down any other way. I’m honestly grateful they didn’t attack her or something the way trump has been getting ‘Patriots’ fired up smh. I need Yall to know, black folk, gay folk, Muslim folk, ladies- there’s nothing you can do as an individual to change the socializations that have been ingrained in the majority of people about you. Not wearing hoodies, hijabs, short skirts or being effeminate will not stop people from assuming black kids are thugs, Muslims are terrorists, women are ‘asking for it’ or all gay men are flamboyant. Sure you can live your life how you see fit in terms of what you deem ‘respectable’ but IT. CANT. KEEP. YOU. SAFE. Only changing the narrative and dismantling a system that thrives on the victimization and exploitation of marginalized groups can do that. And we need to build with one another to get there, not keep asking for a seat waaaaay in the back of somebody else’s (kiddie) table. #dumptrump #islamophobia #muslimsolidarity #respectabilitypolitics #islam #pocunite
