I think yall should direct your grievances to your nearest white Republican governor.
How on earth is BlackLivesMatter, a bunch of twitter hashtags and tshirts, supposed to solve the Syrian refugee crisis, from millions and millions of miles away?

I swear to Allah...Beyoncè is the ONLY star who talks about human rights & social justice (Feminism, Racism) and still gets told she's not doing enough, needs to include more, this issues bigger, etc etc.

We have a multitude of artists out here who are saying NOTHING...and people aren't even questioning that.

When Beyoncè does SOMETHING - it's an issue because she's not doing everything...like she's some kind of academic on human rights and social justice.
**** off please.

!!!!!! Trying to talk down on Beyonce for now speaking up about the struggles of Latinos, but not saying anything about Pitbull and J.Lo and countless others

You know damn well they don't mean it in that context.

What context? 'You brown Moslem woman gonna get stoned hahahaha, how dare you come for Queen Bey?' Criticizing her for dismissing a movement fighting against racism with racism, how stupid is that?

This thread shows that she's right. You'd never see a thread with such blatantly racist comments against black people. It's perfectly ok to say things like that about muslims though, apparently. I'm not one to favor one type of discrimination against other so how about we stop both?

Black people are not born with a book that tells them how to live and treat others. Christians/Muslims are raised and sometimes brainwashed to live a certain way and told how to think. It is NOT even close to the same thing. If you CHOOSE to live by a set of beliefs, then you deserve to be called out for your idiocy (like we do to the Republicans). Black people do not choose to be black. If you truly believe that is the same, then I have a bridge to sell you (and bomb).

The self-loathing of some of you to cling to these 2,000 year old systems of oppression is so, so sad.

They wasn't mocking that. They were laughing just like our normal lingo on this forum. Her comments were ignorant. No one is fighting racism with racism.

I'm the one to stand up for Muslims and their right to practice in most any given context...but some of ya'll... with the whining...

Christians have been trashed with everything from the "flying spaghetti monster", to calling out Mormon polygamy, to Catholic pedophile jokes. If your BELIEF SYSTEM harbors negative views or perpetuates negative actions on humans simply for being humans, it kinda deserves to be called out and ridiculed. nn

Let's take care not to conflate intrinsic human qualities like race and sexual orientation with adopted religious values.

It's totally not the same, and you know that. I'm not religious but it's annoying how hateful some of these ATRL members can be towards religion and especially Muslims and Islam. Okay, a lot of Muslims are homophonic - that's true...but most of the world is homophobic. I don't see any of these people here trashing them constantly like they do with Muslims.

You nullified your whole argument (well, it nullified itself in the first place) with that last cheap shot. I am not muslim. However, I am a big enough person to defend a race/religion even if I'm not part of it. A large part of the comments in this thread are uncalled for. Especially coming from you, considering that you've always been racist and made fun of my city being under attack and being allegedly poor. So let us not go down that road where you pretend you're making the distinction between the religion and the people, because you never have.

Okay and what does this have to do with Middle Eastern people fleeing from the Islamic state, which is killing Muslims too? Do they not deserve human rights because of their religion?

You can't compare that to the flying spaghetti monster. No one is saying their religion is free of flaws. It's the people we're talking about.
