    Great interview! So glad she spoke to the racism within the Islamic religion/faith/community. The anti-Blackness is baked into the community although Black/African people are at the foundational core of the faith. Same can be said for most of the organized/westernized/easternized faith traditions.

    Already from the intro I think I get it. So many people tell me I am funny and I just don't see it. At least not in the times they think I am being funny. But maybe it is in my face LOL. I mean I think I am being ironic or perhaps a bit facetious... I have been told I should be a commedian but at the that was also well over 20 years ago.

    Yes. Why texting sucks for jokes, they can't see you laugh or have look, so they think your serious, you get the hate texts, you like what the fuc. , then you fingers burning trying to correct the sit, then then they pop, off , with something rude, you be like you didn't have to go there, so now you mad, lol, you fuc. This bit.. anyway, lol, then one or both block each other for a week or so until you ain't bad, then neither one wants to admit you been on block lol , I go though this on a bi monthly basis with my besty, by now the hole thing comical.
