At the New York March for Racial Justice on Sunday, hundreds of New Yorkers, many of them Jewish Americans, gathered in solidarity with communities of color and protested against mass incarceration, police brutality, anti-immigration policies and systematic racism.
As the protestors gathered in anticipation of the march across Brooklyn Bridge, the three female organizers behind the Women’s March on Washington - Tamika D. Mallory, Carmen Perez, and Linda Sarsour - passionately urged the crowd to do more to fight white supremacy.
“It is not enough to be here," Sarsour said, adding that what matters is "whether we are doing it in our places of employment, public schools, churches and synagogues and mosques."
"One of the hardest things I have ever done is combating anti-black racism in the Arab-American community, challenging my own people on issues around racism, around anti-Semitism. That is my job to do, not your job to do."
Really? Because when an Arab American looked into Sarsour last year, it was found that she is indeed a racist herself:
I would love to find a single article, tweet or shred of evidence that Sarsour has ever said a thing about antisemitsm to her Arab community. In fact, from that I can tell, she has no standing in the Arab-American community altogether. Her claim to fame is among the whites that she regularly disparages as being inherently racist.
It turns out Sarsour is known to harbor an ugly racism towards African-Americans which makes her latching onto the BLM movement all the more galling. She rarely associated with or interacted with African-Americans (this explains why she views African-Americans through the prism of racist, media stereotypes) until the “activist” with political aspirations realized it can be to her benefit. Sarsour’s racism which she is now trying to hide is common knowledge among the Arab-American community in NY.
I found an old tweet of Sarsour's that, combined with what else we know about her, says a lot: “There’s no such thing as reverse racism. Racism is bigotry + power. The group that doesn’t have power can’t be racist.”
But Sarsour admits that she is (was) white, and enjoyed "white privilege." before she put on her hijab.
Before putting on her hijab, Linda Sarsour admits she was white. Now she claims to be a "person of color." Neat trick! @lsarsour pic.twitter.com/4km7rs0sjj— ElderOfZiyon (@elderofziyon) September 4, 2017
Sarsour put on a hijab (even though she is not a religious Muslim) in order to deflect people from examining her own anti-black and antisemitic positions!
Because a white girl from Brooklyn who hates blacks is a white supremacist. But when she puts on a scarf she suddenly becomes a protected minority who, in her mind, cannot possibly be considered racist!
Now, the idea that Arabs cannot be racists and Sarsour's claims that she fights Arab racism are, of course, contradictory. But Sarsour changes her message depending on her audience at the time anyway.
Sarsour is a fraud. She is not considered a Muslim leader and she is not a person of color. Her hijab is political, not religious. (She eats on Ramadan, according to the article mentioned earlier.) Her statements show her own hate for white people, for Jews and for anyone who believes that Jews are a nation that predates Islam. She has a known history of being a racist herself in her own community. But the media is too scared to call her on her lies, contradictions and play-acting, out of fear of being labeled "Islamophobic."
Which is what Sarsour has built her entire career on.
