Muslim =Terrorist
Is it shocking that the GOP bring up 9/11 when they condemn Zohran Mamdani, even though he was nine years old at the time? Hey, doesn't matter. He's a Muslim, so he must be a terrorist.
Let's go back in time, kids~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The year was 1814. James Madison was president. The government ordered the elimination of Native Americans. For every male scalp produced by white men who encroached on indigenous territory, they would receive $100- $50 for a woman or child.
The year was 1955. A fourteen year old boy was accused by a white woman for having the audacity to speak to her. He was beaten so badly he could not be recognized by family. The accuser went on to live a long life. Emmett Till was murdered for allegedly speaking to a white woman.
The year was 1963. William Zantzinger and his wife arrive at the country club, already drunk. Zantzinger is abusive towards the staff, calling them the n-word, accusing them of being slow to his demands. He lashes out at 51 year old Hattie Carroll, striking her with his cane. She later dies from a brain hemorrhage. Zantzinger is fined $625 and serves six months in prison.
The year is 1998. A 21 year old man is found tied to a fence by a cyclist who initially thought it was a scarecrow. He was still alive but had been beaten so severely his face was covered in blood except for where his tears had fallen. Matthew Shepard died six days later after having been brutally beaten by two white men who hated the fact that Matthew was gay.
The year was 2021. By the orders of Donald J. Trump a vigilante was formed where they breached a government building looking for blood to spill. You know the rest.
Columbine
Sandy Hook
Aurora Theater
El Paso, Walmart
Las Vegas
Pulse Nightclub
Massacres committed by white males.
And yet, the world is coming to an end because one young Muslim has decided to run for mayor.
The problem is not with people of color in America. It has never been a problem with people of color, people who are gay or trans, or Muslim or Jews.
The only good I can see from all of this is that the rot has been exposed. We have some very serious issues we need to take care of. Our education system is appalling. The fact that anyone can run to represent the citizens of this country without any knowledge of their job description, with zero experience, is an atrocity. Both parties need to change if there is going to be anything worth saving. And anyone who interferes with another human beings right to their own path in life, will suffer the legal consequences of those actions.
