you can& #39;t say "let& #39;s focus on our region" @ everyone who decides to show solidarity with another cause while you barely spread awareness yourself? race is a global issue, not an american one. spreading awareness about it inspired in-region awareness and that& #39;s amazing

people argue and educate about the palestinian cause and other important issues in our region every single day, that doesn& #39;t stop when you say "i am against racism" but if you& #39;re mad that& #39;s not trending then by all means, get it trending

your values don& #39;t get thrown out the window just because you chose one day to spread awareness and knowledge about what& #39;s happening somewhere else. instead of the negativity, see how these issues apply to our region and spread awareness about them

the middle east isn& #39;t all white or tan, it is such a diverse and multicultural region. and black people exist. and discrimination against black people, here, exists. talk about that then, because our politics are pretty messy and broad too.
