a few weeks ago (last UFC fight) i was at a dinner party where I met 3 high school teachers , 2 of them teaching in the brampton region. they were sharing how brown is the new black in brampton and that a lot of their students are opting to get a job to buy fancy jeans rather than studying. the youths are buying into the thug life/bling bling culture in rap song.
fast forward to yestrday, mass shooting at a US military base. we find out that it's a brown guy who shot people up and islamic groups are coming to denounce any associations between the sohoting an islam.
i remember (i think it was ) chappelle had a joke about how when there's a headline in the news about a violent crime, black people everywhere cross their fingers and pray it's not a black guy. it looks like the tables have turned ever since 911, and brown people are the targets in america. i wouldn't be surprised if there's some sort of shooting spree in america, american muslims would keep their fingers crossed that it's not a brown guy (muslim or not).
"An imam from a mosque Hasan regularly attended said Hasan, a lifelong Muslim, was a committed soldier, gave no sign of extremist beliefs and regularly wore his uniform at prayers.
Soldiers who witnessed the rampage reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" – an Arabic phrase for "God is great!'' – before opening fire, said Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, the base commander. He said officials had not yet confirmed that Hasan made the comment before the shooting spree."
just like how if there's a beheading , asians everywhere pray that it won't be an asian male.
