New York is a melting pot of Blackness. You have foundationals, Caribbeans, Africans, Afro-Latinos, all sharing an emerging, pan-Black New York culture. The Black experience in the south and midwest is not like this at all.

Underrated thing to do during the World Cup if you live in a metropolis is to go to a local bar from whatever country is playing to watch the games, I’m in a German bar right now and I’ll be heading to a Japanese bar later

Just like CIBIL score, we need a Citizen Score. More you litter, vandalize public property, ignore civic rules, the lower your score. Link it to Aadhaar. Reward responsible citizens. Penalize offenders. That's the only way to improve the civic sense.

Mehdi Hasan: Do you think there are too many Muslims in Germany? German AfD politician Maximilian Krah: I don't want to have 10,000 Somalis.

That’s a very convenient way to explain away Marxism’s failure to inspire the kind of civilizational loyalty Islam has inspired for fourteen centuries. Islam didn’t create unity among billions because it’s “compatible with the oppressive status quo.” It did so because it speaks to the human being in full: body and soul, justice and mercy, obligation and meaning, this world and the next. A certain kind of modern-day Marxist reduces human beings to class interest and then acts shocked when people don’t want to live, die, pray, sacrifice, marry, bury their dead, and raise their children around a spreadsheet of material relations. And the idea that Islam is compatible with the status quo would be news to every empire, dictator, colonizer, and secular regime that’s spent the last century trying to domesticate, surveil, ban, bomb, or co-opt it.

That one time in 1498 when all of Cairo descended into a riot because the Sultan allowed a Black guy to marry a White Woman.
