Muslim women who choose to wear the Hijab but are also Athletes of the fiercest kind.
Hijab is not a disability.
Many people equate the Hijab with being oppressed. But do these women look oppressed to you?
my mom told my aunt to leave her house this summer because she saw the hijab as a thing of oppression and not at the fact that these women were kicking some ass in their sports.
No respect for racists. No sympathy. No patience. No understanding. Nothing. They don’t get to deny entire groups of people their humanity and still expect to have their humanity respected.
1,500 rally for Mark Carson in NYC - It was New York City’s largest LGBT rally in years, according to organizers. On Monday at least 1,500 people showed up to honor the life of Mark Carson and make a stand against the hate that led to his death. Carson was an openly gay 32-year-old black man who was shot and killed over the weekend in what authorities are investigating as an anti-gay hate crime.
The randomness of Carson’s death has shocked the city’s LGBT community. “Mark is not going to die in vain. We are not going to get beat up in vain,” one rally participant told Mother Jones. “Gay rights, we’re still fighting for them, and the fight is not over. We need to protect each other.”
Yesterday afternoon New Yorkers participated in a Rally Against Hate, organized by members of New York’s LGBT community. The rally was organized in response to a recent number of hate crimes, most notably the murder of Mark Carson, a gay man who was shot in the West Village neighborhood on May 18.

I was following the pack all swallowed in their coats,
With scarves of red tied ‘round their throats,
To keep their little heads,
From falling in the snow,
And I turned ‘round and there you go,
And Michael, you would fall,
And turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime.
Kerry Washington being amazing as always.
Understand colorblinders out there. Please get it.
Please give me a reason, and don’t ever take it away, because I don’t want to leave, ever.
