Iran stays on America's neck about the way they treat its Black citizens.


In an unrelated matter I still can't wrap my head around this dude being a huge Pac fan.

makes sense. Iranians are revolutionaries. Pac was a revolutionary. Iran have been on cacs necks for decades. Operation Eagle Claw was an embarrassment to the U.S. Considering how they habitually line step the U.S and Israel, I'm almost certain they have nukes.

A NYPost link? They're always going to mislead on something like this. They also ran a bunch of hit-pieces on George Floyd, so their outrage here is bullshyt.

‘Saving Freedom’: Iranian Revolutionary Guard launches George Floyd video game

Basij, the paramilitary arm of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has launched a new mobile video game called Save the Freedom, centred around rescuing George Floyd from being murdered by US police.

Floyd, a Black American man, was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota on 25 May 2020. His death was caught on camera by bystanders who filmed the officer, Derek Chauvin, kneeling on his neck - setting off racial justice protests around the world.

The intention to develop the game was announced in September 2020, shortly after which Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naghdi, a high-ranking commander in the IRGC, went on Iranian state TV to discuss it.

Basij is the volunteer service of the IRGC, used to repress dissent and act as an auxiliary force to state police authorities. The game was reportedly developed by its IT department.

Speaking at the “Nationwide Event for the Production of Basij Digital Content”, he said that “rescuing this Black citizen from American police should be the aim of this computer game”.

"I thought if we want to have a message to the international audience, we should design a game in which Iranians free this oppressed American from under the knees of American police,” Naghdi said. “I think this would have lots of messages in it and can have a global influence."
