“[Recently] Department of Homeland Security officially discontinued its Special...”
– 11 Out of 85,000 Muslims Registered by Homeland Security Had Terrorism Ties via The Atlantic.

justaghoul-deactivated20130222 asked: Your point is not valid, dear Anon! Seher does not openly hate white people! She has a lot of white friends who I'm pretty sure she loves and cares for. Why would she display hatred for a race after expressing such concern for hatred being brought upon other races! She is just pointing out solid facts which I hope that everyone knows are true. Do you deny slavery? Do you deny the Holocaust?...

nethermattzz asked: As someone who knows Seher kind of and as a white person, I completely understand her points. We as a race have treated and continue to treat her race with prejudice and clearly not the respect they deserve as human beings and living things. She is not racist or hates on other cultures, she is a fun loving unique and pretty interesting individual who is just stating a fact that I agree with as a...
Anonymous asked: I think my question was valid, actually. You seem to post about it quite frequently and I don't understand. It's unreasonable and offensive.

infinite-chaos-separates-us asked: I'm glad you reply with coherent responses with good points, I do take in most of what you say to be true, and I'm glad you took the time to respond. I'm not advocating any sort of white supremacy or anything like that. In personal experience, I haven't witnessed any person on person racism. Insitutional racism is much harder to see, but I acknowledge it's existence. The...
