She changes from white to a “person of color” for messaging. My latest in PJ Media:
That the Left is at war not just with conservatives, but with reality itself, has been clear for quite some time. Instead of trying to achieve some reconciliation with the nature of things as they are, the Left is growing ever more divorced from truth, reason, and ineluctable facts. For example, witness the hijab-wearing feminist (an oxymoron) Linda Sarsour’s magical race transformation.
It was absurd enough that a hijab-wearing defender of that most misogynistic of legal codes, Sharia, would be heralded as a champion of women’s rights and emerge as a feminist leader. But that was rational compared to the weapons-grade absurdity that Sarsour is now serving up. And it comes as no surprise that there has not been a whisper from her Leftist champions about this. They have anointed her a feminist icon, and she could probably stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot Gloria Steinem and still not lose that status.
This latest installment in the ongoing Sarsour clown show began when the blogger Elder of Ziyon made a most amazing discovery: Linda Sarsour claimed she “magically changed from white to a ‘woman of color’ in an instant,” just by putting on a hijab.
It’s true: in a Vox video published in January 2017, Sarsour said:
When I wasn’t wearing hijab I was just some ordinary white girl from New York City.
But in an April 2017 interview of this hero of feminism, there is this:
After watching Michelle Pfeiffer’s character in Dangerous Minds, Sarsour decided to become a high school teacher, “inspiring young people of color like me, to show them their potential.” She graduated a year early, gave birth to her eldest son, and enrolled in community college.
In the ensuing controversy, Linda Sarsour doubled down, saying:
I’m Palestinian. If I want to say “I’m black,” I’m black!
She thereby illustrated the Left’s firm commitment to fantasy over reality. Linda will tell you that Islam is a religion of peace, too. But the most interesting aspect of her statement is that she prefaces her declaration of blackness (in defiance of her extremely pale complexion) with the reminder that she is “Palestinian.”
What does being Palestinian have to do with Linda Sarsour’s spurious claim of blackness? Maybe she is saying that since she has already made one fantasy a cornerstone of her public identity, adding another can’t hurt. The “Palestinians” as a people were indistinguishable from the neighboring Arabs. The “Palestinian” ethnicity or nationality was never mentioned throughout human history until the 1960s, when Yasser Arafat and the KGB invented it as a stick to beat the Israelis with. Tiny Israel arrayed against 22 hostile Arab countries looked like the plucky, heroic underdog; but the tinier “Palestinian” people facing the massive Israeli war machine reversed the narrative.
PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein said this in 1977:
The Palestinian people does not exist.
The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism.
For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a “Palestinian,” I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem.
However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.
If Islamic jihadis (with considerable help from Marxist strategists) can invent an entire ethnic group, why can’t Linda Sarsour, a proud member of this invented ethnic group, change races?…

FYI says
No wonder Linda Sarsour is so confused.
She doesn’t know if she is white or black.
But then she cannot see the difference between God and allah.
Imagine being in a room full of elephants and on each elephant is a sign:islam is the religion of peace,muhammed was the perfect man,There are no errors in the koran,islam respects Jesus,Aisha was a grown up woman,allah loves the Jews and the Christians,allah thinks Christians are polytheists because he doesn’t understand theology,islam respects gay people and loves atheists…and many,many more.
You see these elephants.You see an enormous herd of elephants in the room of islam.
But Linda can’t see them…and she’s not sure if they are elephants …or maybe…Rhinos..
After all ,people with difficulty differentiating colors may have difficulty recognising different animals.

Dan Baxley says
yeah, really stupid but true — it is not the first time humor is used to make a point. The point is the rewriting of history and the West’s odd ability to accept the lies. Look at Jimmy Carter traveling to pay Hamas the honor of his visit while snubbing Israel? And Charter is a Christian? Do the Christians forget about the history they have with Islam? Turkey was once a Christian Nation, a place the Apostle John and others conducted some of their greatest work. Look at it today — Of course this is all ignored. Poor Israel, such a small nation surviving among a much greater number, totally surrounded by their enemy threatening to annihilate them, where the good Muslims want this or not, the bad seem to be driving things. ISIS are hired mercenaries? Someone, on another site, said that ISIS was actually hired by Israel? What many do not seem to understand is that the Arab nations are not united, yet, and the Muslims of the Islamic religion are not united either, and are at war among themselves. The Shiites (Iran, mainly) are against the kind of Muslims the Sunnis and the Sunnis are against the Shiites and if either were to gain authority over the other there would be a blood bath.

The irony is this woman has no loyalties to any given group. Unfortunately, the ‘pathies’ (empathy, sympathy) rule The hearts and minds of most women. Add on Sarsour’s psychopathy and the scales tip toward what, in normal times, would be regarded as something dangerous to society. But it’s become apparent we no longer live in ‘normal times’. So this cloaked walking word bomber strides up to any open microphone, guarded by minions of zombies ready to fight anything, anyone for any reason, and spews antisocial manure in the faces of all who welcome here. Should transgender ever gain traction, she’d surely announce she’s got a dick.
Meanwhile, radicalized Islamist men are standing in front of TVs watching Sasour not knowing whether to embrace her or stone her.
If your not on the right side, the Right side, you’re against rational, pragmatic, constructive, dogged, long term survival. That’s the gist of all that’s happening now. Survival of the fittest. To discount the madness of the Left and all its conduit associations (especially MSM) would be a mistake. Take what they are saying seriously. Every word Sarsour utters is a bullet fired in our direction.
Find your resolve. Dig deep and stoke the embers in your belly to a full fire.
These are serious times, no less culturally dire than the conflict of ideals during WWII.

“PALESTINE” IS A TEMPORARY RUSE FOR A GREATER JORDAN ENCORPORATING ALL OF ISRAEL
– “For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.”- PLO representative Zouhair Muhsen in 1977, speaking to a Dutch newspaper
– “Palestine and Transjordan are one, for Palestine is the coastline and Transjordan the hinterland of the same country.” – King Abdullah, at the Meeting of the Arab League, Cairo, 12 April, 1948
-“The truth is that Jordan is Palestine and Palestine is Jordan.” – King Hussein of Jordan in 1981.
– Dr. Martin Sherman, founder and executive director of the Israel Institute for Strategic Studies, recently wrote that Article 1 of the Palestinian National Covenant proclaims: “The Palestinian Arab people are…part of the Arab nation.” Article 12 baldly admits that a separate Palestinian identity is a ruse to further wider Arab interests. Thus, at an Arab League summit in 1987, convened in Amman, King Hussein conceded that Palestinian identity was merely a response to Jewish national claims, not driven by any authentic endogenic sentiment of uniqueness, stating, “The appearance of the Palestinian national personality comes as an answer to Israel’s claim that Palestine is Jewish.” –King Hussein of Jordan in 1987
Ann says
Edward Said also insisted that he was Palestinian, although it was eventually revealed that he was raised in Egypt, was a Christian by birth, and had only spent a few weeks in Israel. But he achieved fame and fortune by hitching his wagon to Palestinian identity, which, since it is a (reprehensible) religion, I guess anyone can become a member of the faith. Although it’s hard to see why any Westerner would want to.
mortimer says
Agree with Ann. Imho, people join Islam for its emotional subtext of sadomasochism.
mortimer says
Linda Sarsour IS NOT a lot of things 1) not a feminist … she endorses misogynistic Sharia 2) not a Palestinian … she was born in New York 3) not black … she is pale-faced with obvious European ancestry 4) not ‘moderate’ … she is a puppet of Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood, two terrorist organizations.
Linda Sarsour is a poseur, fraud, con and taqiyya artist.
Aingel Strong says
I am not sure why Sarsour and her like are given so much attention; it only furthers their cause .. Look at 911 (didn’t Trump yesterday lay the real truth on the line .. that it wasn’t anything to do with Islam?) .. Getting morons to believe anything is easy when you simply resolve to push a particular line. Sarsour and people like her do not deserve our time. She I clearly a bully, and clearly a preposterous idiot, which I what people really need to know, not her views, comfortably expressed at US tax payers expense. Oh, and if you can show me one “white” person I will then believe in the fairy tale. I am Caucasian and proud of it. Blancos and Negros etc ate words that have no relevance to race except for those who seek to inflict their ignorant value system on the rest of us; a personality trait that has been there from the beginning and will be their at the end ..
Voytek Gagalka says
“Race is the most crude, primitive form of collectivism.” All racists are collectivists first, and as individuals they stand far, far behind. Whenever they are accusing somebody of “racism,” you can be absolutely sure that the real racist are always those who yell most outrageous accusation about… your alleged “racism” (but observe that only in the case you will dare to oppose them). Your personal achievements (if any), according to them, are always “colored” by your racial belonging. Don’t ever fall into their linguistic traps. If Linda Sarsour says that she can be “black” in an instant, what she really confesses is the utter, decaying “blackness” of her brain.

It is an Orwellian age we live in. The most terrible misogynist system and its most prominent representatives are called feminist activists, even supporting sharia that promotes child marriage as being good for girls as so often seen on various videos with leading islamic teachers explaining that to their believers, but now also brought to our knowledge by MEMRI and others. We are talking about 9 year old girls that they honestly believe enjoy having sex with 40 year old guys, who could be their daddys, even their granddaddys.
They want to make us believe that sharia is good or at least harmless, islam is peace, and islamic terrorists have nothing to do with islam.
The bible is very clear clear about one thing that will occur in the endtimes of this world:
Then they will say peace peace, but there is no peace.
Then they will say islam islam, but ist does not mean peace.
It means submission.

And if I say that I am green, I am green. It can come true with just a wave of Pepe’s magic wand (Feels good man.) I look forward to the day when those with even one drop of green in their blood rise up and drive the cucks and cockroaches from the lands that rightfully belong to the favored green people of Kekistani origin. Imagine …. just imagine that we are all green and living as one next to the shores of the lovely Green Sea. Long live Pepe! (Feels good man.) And yes, Linda, you can be green too someday if you wish it to be so. Shadilay!
