A Facewash Is Killing No One Zara Noor Abbas

A Facewash Is Killing No One Zara Noor Abbas

via https://youtu.be/q-pa0N0w1n8 The United States is under fire as protests against the killing of an African-American man erupt across the country. The video of the incident has rekindled the "Black Lives Matter" movement, which works against the violence and systemic racism against the community. After Bollywood actor Disha Patani got trolled for calling out racism while endorsing fairness creams, Pakistani actor Zara Noor Abbas was called out for the same. The celebrity took to Instagram to share a video of a young school girl giving a speech on why black lives mattered and being an African-American, she burst into tears during her deliverance. However, she came under fire for raising her voice against something she promotes in her own country through a fairness cream ad. But the Ehd-e-Wafa star does not think endorsing such products promotes hatred or violence against a community. Good, because that does not promote killing. Does not promote racism. Stop making this out of context when its not the agenda. Your word doesn’t matter here. What matters is human life and equality and this is what I am here for. A face wash is killing no one — Abbas He narrated an incident he witnessed in school reiterating how we are conditioned to judge and mock people with certain skin tones. I agree: racism is a war we each have to fight individually. — Butt What’s particularly heartbreaking is that colorism, sectarianism & religious prejudice – these are all inculcated in us as children. I remember two instances when I was in school – one, where a dark-skinned class fellow was teased by our teacher (hence making it okay for class bullies to further mock him) – this was grade four. In grade five, one of our Christian classfellows offered me his bottle of water after recess, and I was immediately attacked by all my friends claiming I’d turn kaafir if I drank from his bottle. Where do we learn all of this hatred? Pakistan Ka Showbiz
