Trump must resign. I join the call from @Mvmnt4BlkLives

Trump wants to illegally dispatch the military as a way to use violence against people protesting police violence. Police violence isn’t enough for him.

He must resign.

Trump threatened to dispatch the military to crush a nationwide uprising against racism and police brutality.

He called on governors to be “tougher” against protestors demanding justice for the murder of Black people.

Instead of de-escalating State violence, he wants more Image

Soon after I moved to #NYC in 2002, I began a relationship with a Black man. We lived together for 3yrs. Very soon after we became a couple, I insisted we boycott Arab (Yemeni, I believe) owned stores in our neighbourhood because of their anti-Black racism.

#BlackLivesMatter
The men behind the counter in those stores didn’t know I speak Arabic. And when Marcus and I would go in together, they would say the most disgusting racist shit about Black men and why I was with a Black man. I confronted them. Shamed them. And boycotted them. #BlackLivesMatter
After one yelling match with them, I reminded them that post-9/11, Arabs or Muslims who knew what being profiled or being subjected to discrimination and violence was like, should be the last people to be racist.

We are a racist people in #Egypt and we are in deep denial about it.

I wrote this in 2008 after an #Egyptian woman’s racist attack on a #Sudanese girl on the #Cairo metro.

What else but racism on Dec. 30, 2005, allowed 100s of riot police to storm through a makeshift camp in central #Cairo to clear it of 2,500 Sudanese refugees, trampling or beating to death 28, including women and children.

#BlackLivesMatter #BlackSpring
What else but racism lies behind the bloody statistics at the #Egyptian border with Israel where 2007-2008 #Egyptian guards have killed at least 33 migrants, many from #Sudan's Darfur region, including a pregnant woman and a 7-year-old girl?
