Black lives matter … but the lives of “men and white folks” do not?

That apparently is the message Black Lives Matter Toronto co-founder Yusra Khogali was trying to convey when she posted a controversial tweet on Feb. 9 that surfaced Tuesday morning.

In the tweet, Khogali asks Allah for strength “to not cuss/kill these men and white folks out here today.”

Black Lives Matters activist Sandy Hudson blamed the media for focusing on the tweet, instead of the larger issues at hand.

“This is extremely frustrating and emotional for me because we slept outside for two weeks to get somebody to care about death in our community and this is what you decided to focus on? It’s very, very, very irresponsible,” she said.

When repeatedly asked for a comment on the tweet, she refused.

Khogali is a community organizer, activist and spoken word poet who “who uses her art as a form of resistance to challenge various forms of Canadian state-sanctioned anti-blackness,” according to her Facebook page.

Newstalk1010 radio host and Toronto Sun columnist Jerry Agar unearthed the tweet Tuesday morning, after which the tweet was removed from Khogali’s feed.

Let me understand this...

Someone from BLM praying for strength not to do harm to white people is more dangerous then right wing white supremacist groups who actually kill black people?

I still don't get it.

Who said her racist tweets were more dangerous than right wing supremacist groups who kill black people?

She's a racist piece of shit and the media is correct to point her racist tweets out. With that kind of trash leading the black lives matter movement, no wonder it's a racist dung heap that needs to be shunned.

LOL

yes. that's exactly what he said. but you have to highlight it and run it under a blacklight to see.


ROFL

"see what she did wasn't that bad. compared to what this other group did!" lol This argument is silly.

It was a bad tweet (twitter? twatter?). It really post BLM in a negitive light. one that it didn't need. The idea of BLM is right but they need to temper down the racism they themselves have if they want to point out racism by others. Or its never going to end.

You are letted...and that's what you can come up with?

I think the BLM leadership needs to keep perspective and not try to change history over night, or they will be creating a much different history than they set out to do. Tweets like that will turn people away in masses.

Asking for god to give you the strength not to kill people is a pretty clear implicit threat.

I find the conservative hysteria over the BLM movement to be almost entirely nonsense, but it's perfectly reasonable to call someone out for saying something terrible like that.

I'm picturing a response where a "movement" is bigger and more important than one radical who helped start it.

Well, it's certainly bigger than one who co-founded one chapter of the movement, that's for sure. BLM extends well beyond Toronto. Indeed, I didn't even know it existed anywhere in Canada until I read this article.

Let's see, Yusra Khogali a Kenyan born activist black female is praying to Allah (God in Arabic),

[the mystical head of homophobic, misogynistic, polygamous, Abrahamic religions in whose name some of the worst atrocities, racism, misogyny, slavery, as well as other evils have been committed usually by white guys (both Arabic & European)] for strength “to not cuss/kill these men and white folks out here today.”

Yep, you're right, I still don't get it.:hmm:
 
Prayer is probably the issue here. If cops would pray to their gods to give them courage against unarmed people, we might all be protected and served better.

Also, this lady said something stupid.

BLM is inspired by hatred... because something is wrong and people are upset.

The racist part is they think it only applies to them. As if cops aren't trigger happy on everybody, including their own. All lives matter, but they need to make it racist... because... well, this co-founder is an example of that.

If they'd move beyond the racism it'd be a very important message that everyone needs to get behind.
 
Meh. Twitter is a bottomless cesspool of racism and bigotry. Why should I care about this particular example of racism over the millions of other examples that are twitted daily?

You don't think that black people are treated more harshly by law enforcement, up to and including the use of deadly force?

There is no defending that tweet, it was a stupid thing to say, and it deserves criticism.
