Let's stop asking questions abt whether these youth were radicalized, and question instead the way the media is racializing Muslims. #Boston
@fuertecorazon @msnbc 1) too many to name. 2) don't understand your McVeigh, Rabin comment

@aurabogado@msnbc Rabin was assassinated by a Jewish extremist McVeigh was influenced by the militias Radicalization is a neutral term -
@fuertecorazon@msnbc Language is never neutral. -
@aurabogado@msnbc It depends on who's using it just like a scalpel can hurt or heal Language can b a weapon or can b a tool 4 understanding -
@fuertecorazon@msnbc Hence, language is never neutral. -
@aurabogado@msnbc I have had a lot training in conflict resolution and crisis intervention and there is such a thing as neutral language -
@fuertecorazon@msnbc Even when language is used for mediation it's not neutral (it's explicitly mediating). We'll have to agree to disagree -
@aurabogado@msnbc OK U also might want to accept the fact that u see racism when there is none -
@fuertecorazon@msnbc In order to accept that it would have to be true.

@aurabogado@msnbc Radicalization's a term describing a process that is not inherently racist 2 investigate if bros r radicalized is crucial -
@fuertecorazon@msnbc The media only uses the word "radicalized" for the Muslims they're trying to cram into a new racial category. - 1 more reply
