Let's stop asking questions abt whether these youth were radicalized, and question instead the way the media is racializing Muslims. #Boston
@23rads Perhaps it's a new word for you, but not a concept for your people.

@aurabogado Hahaha. My people?!? You just racialized me. Any group can be racialized. So what? -
@23rads Exactly. Yet whites created racialization in order to benefit from it. -
@aurabogado Well, I think any group can racialize another group for their own benefit. However, I don't think racialization applies here -
@23rads No. Don't get it twisted. White folks have socially constructed race for their benefit alone. -
@aurabogado Wow. What do you propose we do to undo all of the problems white people have caused this planet? -
@23rads I don't know that that's even possible. But to start, we can stand against assigning Muslims into a new racial category. -
@aurabogado Well, I can't disagree with that. Islam is not a race and should not be treated as one. -
@23rads Cool. I'm happy we can agree on this.

@aurabogado@23rads That sounded a bit like, "Your race is racist." Which is sort of racist. Unless "your people" didn't mean race. -
@FactsB4Faith@23rads Let me clarify, then: white people have socially constructed race. -
@aurabogado@23rads I think we should all oppose racism. But I see a danger in thinking that racism is what others do. -
@FactsB4Faith@23rads I get where you're coming from, but the real danger is not acknowledging the way white supremacy operates. -
@aurabogado@23rads Speaking out against racism is absolutely necessary. I support your intent.
