00:00:29.960
black guy the accusation may be against the fourth official here
00:00:39.040
assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends as you guys know i'm
00:00:43.420
always out and about on the on the run so i thought i'll do this video you know why it's very important
00:00:48.040
so demba but dem demba i don't i don't follow football much yeah so basically i saw a footage
00:00:53.740
of him talking to a referee a romanian referee i think there was a match being played in turkey
00:00:59.800
or something like that and basically what's happened is that he's going to this person as
00:01:03.720
you guys saw on the screen and he's saying why did you say this black guy you know there's a lot of
00:01:08.720
white guys you don't say this white guy yeah now let's take this from a different angle yeah you
00:01:13.200
need to understand when somebody suffers a lot of racism and we know with demba b he suffered a lot
00:01:16.840
of racism playing against some chinese football team i think in china where he was called a racist
00:01:21.040
name to continuously seeing this in the pictures bananas being thrown in so you need to understand
00:01:25.200
that yes we could say to ourselves okay if there was a bunch of black people and there was one white
00:01:29.480
guy i'm sure the referee might have said this white guy um if he was the only white guy yeah now we can
00:01:34.960
come from that angle and we can make it seem like that in the context of if we were still assume the
00:01:39.240
best in the referee that's true we can take that angle but the point is this problem sister when
00:01:43.460
somebody gets continuously one after another racism in and out you need to understand they become
00:01:50.520
vulnerable in the context of they they don't have the patience to take it anymore now can we blame
00:01:56.820
them not really so now this referee we could say okay maybe he didn't mean in that context but to come
00:02:02.120
and say okay this black guy well you could have said demba you could have known his name or you could
00:02:05.180
say this guy you could have pointed at him you didn't have to say this black guy you know so i think
00:02:10.120
where he's coming from he's right in his aspect because he's been suffering a lot of racism imagine
00:02:14.260
me like i used to live in a outside london before i came to islam um and i used to live in a place
00:02:18.820
where i always used to be called the word p-a-k-i paki i was called that some of my black friends
00:02:22.940
would be called paki and they would think the brother like you should be calling me the like if
00:02:26.620
you anything you should be calling me the word the n-word they would be called that so the thing is
00:02:29.940
when you systematically get that i can remember getting into so many fights where i used to live
00:02:33.740
and anyone that looked at me and i used to get paranoid you know someone looks at me and i'm like what are you
00:02:37.320
looking at me what the hell are you looking at me yeah because i would think he's being
00:02:40.000
racist but that wasn't the case but because of racism because it gets you so much you know it's
00:02:46.100
like imagine you're in an abusive relationship yeah and you've got your you know you know this
00:02:49.460
this husband or a wife continuously violent towards you next time you get married again and if someone
00:02:54.320
flinches at you or something you think oh are they gonna hit me and you start bugging out so i don't
00:02:57.960
really blame him in that and in that aspect but it's very important for us to understand how
00:03:01.940
dangerous how dangerous it is to be racist and we get that i'm so sorry there are arabs
00:03:07.200
not all who think they're superior there are asians who walk around you know with
00:03:10.980
oh i've got mild daughter's got fair skin who gives a damn what skin your daughter's got
00:03:14.420
yeah oh you you make it seem like black people or darker skin so this is in our society as muslims
00:03:20.960
we suffer this in all shapes or forms yeah and we need to get rid of this disease and there's a lot
00:03:26.880
of people who are hypocritical so that's why it's important for me to do this video to raise
00:03:31.060
awareness brothers and sisters if you yourself you need to ask yourself this question in the mirror
00:03:34.340
am i racist in all angles yes most of the times i talk about the marriage aspect of it black
00:03:38.840
brothers that are look i'm not even gonna go there okay all i'm seeing is are you racist just think
00:03:42.660
about it when you go somewhere and you see a black person serving you etc what comes to your mind
00:03:48.300
think about that and i'm just gonna leave you at that that's it i don't want to carry any long
00:03:51.920

00:04:03.040
racism this is what he said he said i am better than him and that is what caused this downfall because
00:04:09.680
he attributed a mistake to allah he said you are telling me to do something which is wrong i'm
00:04:14.540
