If you ask me what I came into this world to do, I will tell you; I came to live out loud.

via Facebook... "We’ve had 14 years since 9/11 to learn even minimal, basic facts like the difference between Muslims and Sikhs. Nothing’s changed. Bigots don’t care, and they’re often proud of not caring. Racism is deeply woven into our culture, and it quite literally does not matter what the intellectual justification for a given prejudice is–set it loose in the wild and it will become another manifestation of racism, lashing out wildly and viciously at anyone who looks different and “wrong” to white people’s eyes. So fine, criticize “radical Islam” if you will; develop strategies to “fight terrorism” if you feel it’s necessary to save lives. But if you refuse to acknowledge the dangerous strain of racism you may be feeding by doing so–if you erase the people totally unrelated to whatever you think the fight is about that your fight is going to hurt, as Dawkins, Harris and the staff of Charlie Hebdo all did–then at best you’re a fool. At worst you’re a racist looking for a new way to get away with racism."
