This Valentine’s Day, the Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative launched their annual Twitter discussion on being black and Muslim for the fourth year in a row. 

The Pew Research Center reports that black Muslims make up the majority of Muslims in the United States, but Twitter users spoke up about feeling marginalized in both the black and Muslim communities due to their faith, their color and sometimes, because of both.

Conversation topics included the use of racial slurs and the frequency of questions about the legitimacy of black Muslims’ faith by non-black Muslims; feeling pressure from the black community to embrace either Islam or blackness but not both and the sense that, in the current political climate, black Muslims are under constant attack due to their faith and the color of their skin.

The discussion is still underway — to join in, use the hashtag #BeingBlackAndMuslim.
