This is beautiful. Let them kill each other.
Gays and atheists and Christians and Jews and others always defend Muslims. It's nothing new or surprising.
Doesn't matter, the bedrock of social justice is solidarity. It's why BLM is aligned with DAPL.It's not like black ppl are profoundly different from other Americans regarding how Islam is generally viewed, so not sure why the expectation for BLM activists to be pro-Islam exists in the first place. BLM isn't a faith-based movement.
A black Muslim can stan for BLM based on real or perceived racial discrimination, but that doesn't mean a Christian or Atheist black will view Islam favorably, or vice versa. They have nothing to do with each other on that sphere.
That's bullshit. It's the whole reason there are special interest groups. A pro DAPL individual can be a BLM activist and discard the extra "alignment", bc his outlook agrees with the core message of the BLM movement.Doesn't matter, the bedrock of social justice is solidarity.

All I'm saying is BLM would be hypocritical to support the Muslim ban, which they don't. And any individuals that support the ban are clearly not down.That's bullshit.

I think it's an idealistic view to expect BLMer solidarity for interests outside their sphere. It's BLM that brings them together, so it's understandable that their following would be fragmented on other causes even if they are under the broad social justice umbrella.All I'm saying is BLM would be hypocritical to support the Muslim ban, which they don't.

I'm pretty sure social justice/equality is an idealistic view. Besides this beef on twitter, I don't believe this indifference to the Muslim ban is widespread amongst BLM aligned individuals. Back to what I said first, you can't ask to be treated fairly and disregard injustice against others- that would just be hypocriticalI think that's an idealistic view to expect BLMe solidarity for interests outside their sphere.

I see both ends. The idealistic view that @BANTU laid out, and one of ppl picking and choosing only the causes most important to them under the broad Social Justice landscape, of which I think the latter is more commonplace.They don't have to view Islam favourably. Somalis/Sudanese are black so therefore this a cause they should by default get behind. I mean they fight injustices that were committed against criminals. You would think at least they wouldn't be supporting it.
Unless being Muslim invalidates your black card. Which doesn't explain why Somalis are attacked weekly for not supporting blm and not considering themselves black
More understanding that intersectionality shouldn't be banked on?I have no expectation of BLM to fight the Muslim Ban. To them Muslims are represented by the abusive Arab guy who owns the only liquor store in their neighborhood. The Somali SJWs should have been more understanding.
