This is why no one should be encouraging legislation on ski masks, kuffiyehs, gang colors, NOTHING.
Wearing hoodies and Palestinian colors are getting/have gotten people killed. No more policing our bodies.
Seeing a white woman stalk a Palestinian woman wearing a keffiyeh reminds of George Zimmerman stalking Trayvon Martin for wearing a hoodie. A lot of white people believe that if people of color are wearing clothes demeaned threatening they have a right to harass ppl & be violent.
