Almost everybody must have already watched the video police has released of Philando Castile’s legal lynching. Cop , who murdered him was acquitted despite the fact that the video clearly shows us Philando telling the officer he has a gun in his car and that he’s a legal gun owner. This is ridiculous how our justice system fails black people and how one particular group of people chooses to remain silent once a black person gets killed for legally carrying a gun.

#ThisIsWhy

At 14yrs old, and with a body that betrayed my age. A grown black man followed me for several blocks. I had to run, and try to shake him. I hid in a store. This happened to me in plain-sight, in daylight, with many people around. But no one cared enough to help me. And when I told someone what happened. I was told to shake it off, and “it could have been worse.”, or my personal favorite, “Nothing happened right..”. #OwnYourMisogynoir

The fact that most black girls have a story like this… Because our bodies are hyper-sexualized and targeted before most of us even hit puberty. Black boys and men are taught to obtain their pleasure from our bodies at ANY cost, even if that includes “casual” infidelity, physically or emotionally harming us, or being outright pedophilic predators. “Idc about how old she is. Look at her body, she grown.” It’s disgusting. You wonder why black girls grow up feeling the same way around black men, as black men feel around cops? You wonder why we’re so distrusting and “damaged” and “bitter” by the time we get older? #ThisIsWhy.

Why is that so accurate

One of the scariest part is black girls who tell their families or adult figures in their lives are very often not believed. Or they are told to dress different. Its made to be either non existent or they’re mentally made to feel @ fault.

Its soo much wrong with this cycle that just creates more creeps and pedophiles every year.

“ I’m dark-skinned, bro. When I’m around black people I’m made to feel “other” because I’m dark-skinned. I’ve had to wrestle with that, with people going “You’re too black.” Then I come to America and they say, “You’re not black enough.” I go to Uganda, I can’t speak the language. In India, I’m black. In the black community, I’m dark-skinned. In America, I’m British. Bro! “

#BeingBlackandMuslim Portrait Series by Bobby Rogers

Visual artist and photographer Bobby Rogers’ latest portrait series #BeingBlackandMuslim taps on members of the Black Muslim community to share their harrowing experiences with, well, simply being who they are.

The eyeopening series exposes stereotypes and stigmas plaguing the community; further proving we all have more work to do when it comes to bringing awareness to squash these century-old, derogatory ways of thinking.
