hasan did make a very salient point in his show about how western muslim activists should stop saying things like “muslim is the new black” (he was like “uh no, black is the new black”) and that black muslims go through an amplified version of oppression that makes them an incredibly vulnerable group of people in the US (even more vulnerable than brown muslims). kudos to him for that because i feel like a lot of south asian stand up comedy relies on downplaying the hypervisibility of black people and i see both hindu and muslim americans do this.
Yeah I believe black Muslims are the highest population of Muslim people in the US it’s just really inconceivable to leave them out
