Indian Right Wing (for the lack of a better and appropriate term) MUST stand with the #BlackLivesMatter .

I will explain "why" in a series of tweets so bear with me.

Disclaimer: This is my opinion and I will also post things for all of you to come to your own conclusion.

In India, Hindus faced centuries of oppression which is the case with Black folks in America as well.

Hindus - majority in India
Black folks - minority in America

Let us get some basic concepts clear:

Hindus were slaves for centuries under Abrahamic religions.
So were Black folks in America.

Hindus = Oppressed historically
Black folks = Oppressed historically

Oppressor in both cases -Abrahamic religion (Chrislam, as i like to call it)

The discrimination in America is RACE based and not RELIGION based.

Hindus faced RELIGIOUS discrimination (and still do)
BLACK folks faced/face - RACIAL discrimination

The majority Hindu IS NOTHING LIKE THE MAJORITY IN AMERICA

US CENSUS:
White = 76.5% (Majority)
Black = 13.4%

Voting Rights:
Black population in America DID NOT have voting rights up until 1965 (YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT - TILL 1965)

Now, there has been a resurgence of curbing rights of the Black minority voters with the help of the SUPREME COURT OF AMERICA. YES

Crimes against Black folks in America:
Black minorities are 3 times more likely to be sh0t by Police. 21% of the BLACK MINORITY victims were UNARMED.

Black women were about 1.4 times as likely & Native american women were 2.1 times likely to be sh0t by police as white women.

Below chart shows the number of people sh0t to d*@th by the police in the United States from 2017 to 2020, by race.

Now, remember that the population of White folks is significantly higher.

Note the number of people sh0t for both white = 42 & Black folks = 31 (high %age)

I will be right back after lunch

Please wait for me to post this thread in its entirety. All information will be posted.

Do not jump to conclusions until then.

Thanks

In 2019, Police k!lled 1099 people (of all colors)

Black people were 24% of those killed despite being only 13% (approx.) of the population

Everyone assumes that the numbers of m*rd3rs by police are directly proportional to the number of violent crimes, but that is not the case

Before I delve into why the percentage of incarcerations are higher in Black community, I want all of you to read through the timeline of when the slaves were actually freed & the laws

In India, laws are against the majority e.g. Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowment Act

Timeline:

• Slavery legalized - 1641
• Hereditary Slavery Law – 1662
• Anti-miscegenation laws – 1691 till 1967
• Naturalization prohibited – 1790 – 1868
• No military service – 1792 - 1862
• Slave Trade Outlawed (not Slavery) - 1807
• Freedom in Canada - 1819

Contd.

• Coffins were used to help Slaves flee America - 1826 - 1827
• Underground Rail Road (was used to transport slaves to free areas) - 1831 -1865
• "Moses" Harriet Tubman (a black woman and an underground rail road conductor) escapes from Maryland- 1849

contd.

• Last Slave ship arrives at Alabama - 1859
• Civil War - 1861 - 1865
• Emancipation Proclamation - Jan 1,1863
• Slavery Abolished - Dec 18, 1865

However, there were many laws in place that still kept Black population in acute poverty and discriminated against them.

Contd.

Interestingly enough, even American Presidents used to have slaves (eight had slaves while in office)

• George Washington had 300 slaves
• Thomas Jefferson had 175 slaves

Just imagine that slavery was institutionalized.

Ok, let us talk about what slaves were actually freed

It took two and a half years from "Emancipation Proclamation" to "Slavery Prohibition" because TEXAS was not willing free the slaves

This date is called "JUNETEENTH" June 19th - Celebrated as the commemoration of ending of slavery (Again on paper. We will talk about why)

Contd

I am not even talking about the atrocities that Black people faced during this time. That needs be a thread of its own

"Juneteenth" did technically become the day slaves were freed. However, many legal hurdles and restrictive laws were placed that extended their "slavery"

contd

Restrictive laws against Black population:
• Black Codes - Many states made "free" black folks to sign yearly labor contracts.
• Jim Crow Laws - During reconstruction, southern states passed "Jim Crow Laws" which was FINALLY abolished in 1964 (17 yrs after Indian independence)

• Black population was not allowed to hold any occupation other than farmer or servant.
• Forced "free" labor on plantations became a norm AFTER slavery was abolished.
• Some states even restricted the type of property they could buy. Real Estate is a generational asset.

Jim Crow Laws:

• No right to vote
• Curtail the freedom to hold jobs
• Segregation of spaces based on race

To contrast - "Untouchability Offences Act" was passed by Indian Government in 1955 (9 years before America) & everyone had voting rights (gender/religion) in India

Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965

The "Fair Housing Act was passed in 1968 which ended discrimination in housing for Black folks (on paper)

The most mind boggling thing i read (& saw affects of) was "Red-Lining" - why today "Black neighborhoods" are in acute poverty

contd.

Red - Lining was a govt. planning tool to identify & restrict services being provided to black neighborhoods. Below is a plan of Jacksonville & you can see which are "RED" zones.

The country was segregated already & these restrictions reduced the "generational wealth"

contd.

This red-lining is blatant institutional racism.
A very good case study of how to destroy a city is "BALTIMORE". This institutional racism is still alive & well in that city. Recently, Govt. started an initiative called "opportunity zones" which was supposed to serve poor

contd

Baltimore is majority black city. What Maryland state did:
• Took away the money saved by this poor city (it is autonomous) & diverted it to wealthy "White" neighborhoods
• Instead of poor areas of the city, wealthy areas were called Opportunity Zones by the state.

contd.

The state government also cancelled a metro project that would have helped the poor black folks access to jobs.

In India, the metro location (wherever it is) DOES NOT discriminate between minority or majority population.

If you don't have access to jobs, how will you earn ?

Baltimore is also a city where Police Brutality is on another level (this also comes from personal experience)

Cops in Baltimore have been found fabricating evidence, planting drugs on Black folks and these are NOT isolated events

Imagine Govt machinery actively keeps them poor

Now that i have described how Black folks were discriminated against by the government, how they didn't have opportunities, why they are still poor, why there "may be" higher incarcerations.

Let us dissect #BlackLivesMatter & how religion comes into play here.

Many Black folks disassociate with the adopted "Colonial" religion - Christianity simply because it was colonial

The void was filled by !$lam & was popularized by "Malcolm X" - Civil Rights Activist who converted from Christianity

This void is being filled by Hinduism in Africa

But, religion plays NO role in RACISM against the BLACK folks in America. IT IS JUST THE COLOR OF THE SKIN

Also, remember the media propaganda against #Hindus in all series ? We are shown as THUGS !

This is exactly what happens to the Black Community. That informs our opinion.

Now let us talk about how Black Lives Matter Movement

It started in 2013 after Trayvon Martin, a 17 year old child was k!lled by a CIVILIAN - George Zimmerman. He was ACQUITTED & proceeded to auction the weapon he used to K!ll that child.

Now, it has been hijacked by some ppl

Now, allegedly this movement that started as a resistance (much like the Civil Rights Movement) has been hijacked by George Soros - their organisation "felt they needed to add color" to thier organisation.

Hence, the hijacking & funding BLM.

Contd.

To summarise (cuz I'm tired) •Historically both HINDUS & BLACK folks have been persecuted
•Laws are against both the communities
•Hindus like "Kashmiris, Bangladeshi, Pakistani" have lost their roots just like Black folks have
•Majority appeasement in America but not in India

I will add links for both BLM rioters as well as peaceful protestors

THEY ARE NOTHING LIKE INDIAN MINORITIES

THEIR PAIN AND PERSECUTION IS REAL AND IN THE LAWS OF THE COUNTRY (Latest discriminatory law was scrapped in 1995 in America)

Minorities in India have ALL RIGHTS

No one is justifying the riots but maybe for once do not let "media image" inform your opinion.

We, Indians are better in giving rights to ALL CITIZENS regardless of their RELIGION.

Abdul Kalam ji is a good example.

BE PROUD THAT YOU ARE AN INDIAN.
When America was still thinking of giving rights to "colored" folks, we were well into our independent Democracy

Please do not associate with the American RW nor the LW

American RW/LW is NOT THE SAME as Indian RW/LW

And, wait for the links
