Learn to defend against a bigot grabbing your hijab from behind!

In this post-election hate-crime spike, self defense is more important than ever. Practice this move until it becomes muscle memory and teach your body to react before thinking.

(via Zee Abdulla)

Signal boost. Anyone know if this would work equally as well if he grabbed with his other hand? I feel it wouldn’t, but it’s still better than nothing.

[witchymoonhag-deactivated201801]

If the attacker used the other hand, then the woman wearing the hijab could use the opposite arm than is shown. SO PRACTICE BOTH SIDES.

Also please note the position of her arm on his. It’s not on the elbow but just above it. That is will be important for the submission. The grip on her hand is important as well. It looks like she is using a monkey grip where the thumb stays with the fingers of the hand instead of wrapping around. It protects your thumb from being broken and can be a stronger grip in general.

But yes, practice practice practice practice

Btw, if you click on her name, Zee Abdulla, in the post it takes you to her Facebook where she has another video for a defense for a front hijab grab.

NEVER FORGET that Tarana Burke started the #MeToo movement over a DECADE ago. A lot of people think that a white woman celebrity came up with #metoo in 2017. That’s not the case. Tarana started the #Metoo movement in 2006 to raise awareness about sexual assault, especially against black women. She plays a big role on why everyone is wearing black at one of the most prominent nights in Hollywood. Please give her credit where it’s due. SAY HER NAME

The year is 2018. Your bills are on autopay. You just got paid and you still have $1200 from the last check. When you want something, you buy it without moving money around. Your credit cards are paid off. You and your friends have 2 international trips planned and paid for this year. Your parents are in great health and you’re able to help if they need anything. You love your job. Your desired creative career is falling into place and you get to take your little cousins to Six Flags and Universal Studios over the Summer. Your relationships are healthy and supportive. All of the toxic energy from the past 6 years is gone. You going to concerts, eating good across the states and your crib has art and warmth throughout. 2018 is going to be so good to you.

AFRICA IS UNDERPOPULATED.

[thoughtsof-r]

The idea that Africans are starving and dying because it’s overpopulated is simply not true. Looking at the natural resources Africa has to offer, this idea doesn’t even make sense. The fact that people still believe this in 2017 is extremely upsetting.

[thoughtsof-r]

Africa accounts for 20% of the world’s landmass, yet its population only account for about 16% of the world’s. While Asia accounts for 30% of the world’s land mass, with 60% of the world’s population.

[thoughtsof-r]

Europe only has 6% landmass, but almost 10% of the world population. Looking at population density, Africa has an estimate of 90 people per square kilometre, against 250 in Asia, and 190 in Europe. If we’re being real, Europe should be considered the most overpopulated.

[thoughtsof-r]

So, tell me why… Africa is constantly bombarded with people from the West pushing the agenda to stop population growth in Africa… if it’s not to take advantage of Africa’s natural resources? I’m just saying.

[thoughtsof-r]

I mean… Africa IS the richest continent in the world in terms of natural and mineral resources. Africa outsold every continent out there in this department and has been undefeated since forever. The West has been trying for centuries to get rid of Africans, destroying any and everything, for the sole purpose of taking advantage of its riches.

[thoughtsof-r]

Let’s not talk about the abundance of fake ass non-profit organizations, the numerous assassinations of presidents funded by the West in order to keep corrupt presidents in power, the continuous looting of the West and debts forced upon Africans.

[thoughtsof-r]

You know… Some people African countries are still being forced by countries like France to pay colonial taxes? Is that not messed up? But for one dollar a day, eh? But this isn’t just Europeans, the Asians are hopping on this trend as well, subtly but surely.

[thoughtsof-r]

I don’t want to keep popping up on your dashes, so I’m just going to leave you with this quote from the former president of France, “Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third world.”

This alone says a lot.

Mary J. Blige- Be Without You

The Breakthrough, 2005

[bellaxiao]

[explainguncontrolandsafespaces]

It’s like millennials do not understand that middle east has been at war for 1000′s of years. That we intervened on behalf of Kuwait. That without “bombing” people that want to kill and oppress others, millions will be murdered and tortured.

[mideast-nrthafrica-cntrlasia-de]

“at war for 1000′s of years”

you clearly know nothing about Afghanistan nor the middle east

here’s Afghanistan in the 1950′s, 60′s, & 70′s

if you really want to know what caused all the instability & growth of extremist groups I suggest you take a look at the US foreign policy towards Afghanistan during the 80′s

It’s interesting to note that when the communist government came to power in Afghanistan in the late 70′s, one of the first things they did was declare equality of the sexes, made education for girls mandatory, & banned child marriages. The conservative tribal leaders who the US armed & funded (& who later became the Taliban) declared this to be a “war on Islam” & fought against the central government.

The US had no problem back then with encouraging the growth of Islamic conservatism to counter socialism/communism. You created your biggest enemy & you have no one to blame but yourselves.

[sniffyjenkins]

BLESS THIS POST

[blackfemalescientist]

its crazy to me how the US talks about war in the middle east as if its this ancient problem inherent to the area instead of a recent problem created by western countries to further their own interests.
