Post-9/11 All Over Again: The Hate-Mongers Who Bombarded the Internet After Osama bin Laden’s Death

jnamakkal:

everyone needs to read this piece by Himanshu Suri of das racist on what 9/11 and the subsequent events have had on South Asians. The blindly pro-patriot stance of the post-Bin Laden media and culture has already been incredibly violent towards South Asians and countless other people of color. Spread the word.

On 9/11/01, Himanshu Suri, writer and member of the rap group Das Racist, watched the Twin Towers fall from the window of his lower Manhattan high school. On 5/2/11, he began retweeting the most racist and offensive hate-mongering on Twitter surrounding the bin Laden killing. In this piece, he reflects on the anti-Muslim, anti-Middle Eastern, anti-South Asian racism he’s experienced for the last ten years.

i’m about to head off to europe for a couple of weeks of rap shows. i leave you with this piece i wrote recently. 

swag,
