{i know i’m supposed to be on vacation but i’m filling the queue here and thinking}
thinking about cynicalapathy’s post about how come arab communities don’t talk about shadeism
thinking about how when shadeism or anti-blackness are brought up amongst Muslims, the lightest of the light muslims always get the full spin of the hampster wheel as opposed to those who actually face shadeism on a day in day out basis
thinking about those same lighter, generally non-black people talking about why its not okay to use the N-word, or the recently discovered abeed {recently discovered for me}
but yet if i or some other Muslim from the Blackamerican or african diaspora cut that N-word down in the swaying wind, we are being too sensitive and dividing islam
also, trying to find posts about muslims in the shadeism tag was taking waayyy too long in the D
this needs to happen, clearly
clearly……..
