Pragmatism for BIPOC

Dress for car drives like you do for first dates.

Wear shirts with cameras in the collar to record events like Blake’s.

Make collar cameras, real or fake, as common as masks.

X-Ray Goggles on the Police would remove color bias and reveal hidden weapons. No more “maybe she had a weapon so I shot her 20 times.”

Have perfect English and grammar when you talk to a policeman.

Hope this helps. Thank you for reading.

Baad Muharram Ya Hussain or

After Muharram, Ah, Hussain!

is an expression which means

After mourning day is over there is no point in screaming about the death of Hussein.

It means that you missed the bus.

Mourning day is a serious event. People take out a procession, light candles, tell stories, beat their chests, fast and chant the names of Hassan and Hussein, the martyrs who have died.

Muharram fell on 30 August 2020. It was hardly commemorated this year. I never realized that I would hear the silence of this occasion, being Hindu. Yet Baad Muharram Ya Hussain is the best way to describe what has been happening with so many black deaths.
