AABCA's Video Message to Representative Don Calloway and E.M. HarrisSteve,
AsSalaamalaykum. Words of a potential war for economic injustice by AABCA are neither words of hate nor a threat. They are a recognition that there can be no peace if there is no justice. And there is no justice when black contractors and workers are not fairly included in a construction project in a severely economically deprived area that is named after an icon of the civil rights movement, Dick Gregory. Moreover, there is a certain double standard when blacks are labeled as threatening and hateful for engaging in economic disruption in demanding economic inclusion, while unions, with their history of racism, are praised for their job shutdown tactics in demanding union economic inclusion. There is an Islamic term for those who practice such a double standard - Al-Munafuqun (the hypocrites). Wa Salaam.
Eric
