It’s accurate, sorry but it is. Unless you speak out against your people we don’t really need to speak ✌

There is an inner beauty about a woman who believes in herself, who knows she is capable of anything that she puts her mind to. There is a beauty in the strength and determination of a woman who follows her own path, who isnt thrown off by obstacles along the way. There is a beauty about a woman whose confidence comes from experiences; who knows she can fall, pick herself up, and move on.

Here is a difference. Black/Brown/Yellow face is used to humiliate. White face is packaged in a bottle, marketed as a key for success and labelled Fair and Lovely. And it sells.

The clueless aesthetic

I was riding the NYC subway on Saturday. Pretty loud, it was a commuter train. We made a stop at 168th street.

Two police officers got on the train.

The entire atmosphere changed. Suddenly, everyone’s quiet. I notice that a Black guy sitting across from me, shifted seats away from the officers and deliberately turned his head away from them. His hands were shaking. Most of the people in the car nervously darted eyes at each other. A Hispanic woman widened her eyes at me when she saw that one of the police officers had his hand on his gun. We all held our breath.

Finally they got off at 59th street.

This is the reality of the relationship between NYC police and ethnic minorities. They see all of us as immediately suspicious. We don’t see them as enforcers of anything but fear.

You know what said the most? The only people who weren’t nervous were a white mother and child, who were happily singing and playing while the rest of us squirmed in discomfort.

The disparity in the experiences of New Yorkers riding the subway based on skin color and facial features amazes me.

The Du'a for Laylatul Qadr taught to Aisha (radhiAllahu 'anha)

اللَّهُمَّ إنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ العَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي

Allaahumma innaka afuwwun tuhibbu al’afwa fa’fu ‘annee 

“O Allaah You are One who forgives and You love forgiveness so forgive me.”

[aishabintabibakr]

This was the du’aa the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) taught Aisha (radhiAllahu ‘anha) to say in Laylatul-Qadr.

[Reported by Ahmed, At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasaa’ee and Ibn Maajah and authenticated by Imaam At-Tirmidhi and Haakim. Shaykh al-Albaani رحمه الله says Saheeh in Saheeh al-Jaami’ no. 4423)]

Calling something exotic emphasizes its distance from the reader. We don’t refer to things as exotic if we think of them as ordinary. We call something exotic if it’s so different that we see no way to emulate it or understand how it came to be. We call someone exotic if we aren’t especially interested in viewing them as people — just as objects representing their culture.

Isn’t it amazing how Allah dislikes sins, but not the sinner, but He loves forgiveness and the one who seeks forgiveness?
