“Be of service. You are taking your degree into a society dominated by concentrated poverty and a vulnerable middle class, a society where it is harder to pay for education, harder to find a job, harder to buy a house and harder to hold onto those things even if you manage to get them. You are entering adulthood during a period of mass incarceration and near constant war. There is a lot for you to do. Service is the rent you pay for the space you take up on the earth, and as a relatively privileged American you take up a lot of space. We are the most consuming, polluting, wasteful nation on earth. So your rent is steep. Pay it with service.”

- Dr. Melissa Harris-Perry’s advice to Class of 2013 (via bitchwhoisyou)

A Colorado high school principal is defending his decision to allow students from a cultural club to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic — and denied that it was attempt to push an Islamic agenda.

Tom Lopez, the principal at Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins, told Fox News he has received a number of telephone calls and emails from outraged parents – but he stands by his decision.

“These students love this country,” he said. “They were not being un-American in trying to do this. They believed they were accentuating the meaning of the words as spoken regularly in English.”

The school recites the Pledge of Allegiance once a week and on Monday a member of the Cultural Arms Club led the student body in the Arabic version of the pledge.

The club seeks to “destroy the barriers, embrace the cultures” that exist within the high school.

(1) For Fox, every Arabic speaker is Muslim and has an “Islamic agenda.”

(2) For Fox, Islam is un-American

(3) I learned the pledge in Spanish in school. Not just one day, but many, many days. In Catholic school! It was great.

(4) This is exactly what we’re talking about when we point out Fox’s fear-mongering and hate-inducing rhetoric.

i love that parents are “outraged” that the students are “allowed” to recite it in a different language

not forced, mind you, but just the fact that the answer to “can i recite it in arabic” was answered with “yes that’s fine” is enough to stir people to genuine anger

what a weird country

Anything that sounds vaguely Middle Eastern is immediately derided as “Islamic fascist terrorist scary brown pplz!!!” by most conservative Americans. For instance, students learning and using another language.

Malcolm Shabazz Killed in Mexico City

The grandson of famed leader Malcolm X traveled to Mexico’s capital city to meet recently deported friend

Malcolm Shabazz, also known as El Hajj Malcolm El Shabazz, died early Thursday morning of blunt-force trauma to the head, after reportedly being beaten and left outside a bar near Garibaldi Plaza in Mexico City. Shabazz was 28 years old.

Mr. Shabazz had traveled by bus from Tijuana to Mexico City earlier in the week with the mother of a recently deported friend and activist, Miguel Suárez.

Suárez, who owned and operated a construction company in San Jose, California, was also a leader of an organization named RUMEC, an acronym for Revolutionary United Mexicans in Combat. Photos from RUMEC’s Facebook page show several images of Malcolm Shabazz speaking at an event at their offices in January.

“He’s a supporter of our organization,” RUMEC member Juan Ruiz told Talking Points Memo. “He went to Mexico to meet with Miguel.”

According to an interview with the Associated Press, Mr. Suárez states that he and Mr. Shabazz were lured to a bar across from Garibaldi Plaza, a popular tourist site known for its mariachis and as a nighttime red light district, Wednesday night by a young woman who spoke to Malcolm in English.

“We were dancing with the girls and drinking,” Suárez told the AP. This is where it seems things turned bad.

The bar owner was demanding the pair pay $1,200 USD for music, drinks and the young woman’s company when “a short dude came with a gun,” said Suárez. “We pretty much got hassled.”

Suárez reports he was taken by the man with the gun to another room while Shabazz stayed in the hall. He was able escape, but when he retuned minutes later, Shabazz was laying severely injured on the ground outside the bar.

“He was in shock. His face was messed up,” said Suárez. “He was alive.”

Suárez says he called police and took Shabazz to a nearby hospital, however, he died hours later from his injuries.

As of Friday night, Shabazz family members and an Islamic imam where traveling to Mexico City to claim Malcolm’s remains.

Shabazz, the grandson of famed leader Malcolm X, recently wrote in his personal blog that he was being harassed by the FBI soon after accepting an invitation to travel to Iran to speak about Hollywood’s depiction of Muslims.
