People have been discriminated against since times immemorial. Be it due to their race or the religion that they practise. The society has also carried this irrational legacy forward into the 21st century with pride! We hear of racist attacks in the U.S.A, we hear of people calling Muslims terrorists, why? Can we really put all the Muslims in one category? Why can’t we think a little and stop being prejudiced?
Meet Bobby Rogers, a visual artist who has created a powerful photo series- #BeingBlackandMuslim to reflect the suffering that the blacks who are also Muslims have to undergo due to their religion and race in America.
“My #BeingBlackandMuslim series was created to challenge the mainstream meaning of what it is to be ‘Muslim.'”
Take a look at this striking series which will make you think deeply about the world that we live in.
1. So true
2. Ummah means community of Islamic people
3. Now, this is what it has come to
4. The sad reality
5. It is either of the two name tags
6. A rational question!
7. Amercian Muslims form the most diverse group in the U.S.A.
8. Proud of his legacy
9. You should be allowed to choose your own faith
The black community in America is torn between their identities and Bobby hopes, “for others to understand the true beauty & resilience of being Black and Muslim.”
