sorry but given the history of surveillance of muslims it is 100% normal for brown and black muslims to be wary of white converts. making jokes about them isn’t a big deal. calm down. reverse racism isn’t real, “moe,” it’s 2020
arab muslims will say nothing about racial issues at large, nothing about our own supremacy in muslim spaces, nothing of substance really, then they see a jokey tweet about white converts and suddenly they’re all fired up about “racism”
"...director Maimouna Doucouré has explained that the story aims to highlight how social media pushes girls to mimic sexualised imagery without fully understanding what lies behind it or the dangers involved."
Netflix has dropped the poster.

the fact that you let a black woman who was calling out the very same thing you all were doing take the heat for your actions is disgusting.

We're deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used for Mignonnes/Cuties. It was not OK, nor was it representative of this French film which won an award at Sundance. We’ve now updated the pictures and description.
Saddam Hussein was one of the most prolific mass murderers of the 20th Century, and, as a result of a disastrous & strategically incompetent war, an entire generation of people has grown up falsely believing that overthrowing dictators is more evil than the dictators themselves.
even if everyone left twitter rn because of this the streams, ticket sales, enormous support from fans and GP wouldn’t stop. unlike them we don’t just tweet, we actually buy/promote/stream. so what is even the point.
escapism
the lakes: escaping the world / social media
seven: escaping parents
epiphany: escaping through death
cardigan: escaping a relationship
mirrorball: escaping yourself
exile: also escaping a relationship

ok lemme stop it just gets me angry not everyone here has the latest beamer, lives in 7 room house, and goes back to Palestine to a villa in ramallah and deir debwan some of us licherally have been working w our fams since we were kids. if ur issue is class say that.
also all palestinians outside of palestine are part of the diaspora, don’t forget that part. it’s not just us palestinians in the west that y’all get to shit on.
this whole thread. it’s one thing to understand that palestinians in the diaspora do have to uplift the voices of palestinians on the ground but to act like we aren’t allowed an opinion at all is bullshit.

Tory Lanez shot Meg and bleeding out as the cops arrive she thought to protect this man by not telling them he had a gun or that he shot her to protect him from potentially being murdered by the police. Let that sink in.
spelling out ‘BLM’ in children’s toys in the blurred background of a DNC speech instead of calling to defund the police is a perfect metaphor for the democratic party
but i’m most offended that they think people don’t use their credit card like a debit card lmao. i don’t remember the last time i used my debit card, i just pay off my balance every two weeks on my credit card. it builds credit and i get cash back ? tf
can't stop thinking about how a bunch of liberals saw the news story about ICE feeding Muslims pork and were like, "NOOOO HALAL MEALS ONLY!!! Religious freedom while in chains <3" instead of like, "Release everyone from ICE detention!"
Palestinians were thrown into refugee camps with literally nothing but the clothes on their backs after losing their homes, land, and lives; tried writing to London, set up lawsuits, did everything right through the western system to get their $$ back and still got ~
Thinking about how Barclays Bank pulled out of Palestine in 1948 at the end of the mandate and when Palestinians came knocking for their life savings that they kept in the bank, London really went
