Done.
After looking at these pictures 9/11 was allowed to happen. Inside job...I don't care what anybody says.
Nearly 4,000 people died on 9/11...and this country somehow thought that this was justification to kill 186,000 (and that number increases with military efforts in Afghanistan) people (innocent civilians included) with illegal wars based on false pretenses and xenophobia. Where were those WMDs? Mission Accomplished? And Barack continued it.
I watched the atmosphere go from September 10th, 2011 as islam and the middle east wasn't a thought on anybody's minds...to September 12th, 2001 when this country went on a near violent hate filled spree towards anybody of Middle Eastern descent...to the point where people in my school (I was 17 and a senior in high school at the time) were harassing Indian people (Indian people are not Arabs...smh at the intense racism) cause they thought they were Arab. (I guess that clip of arabic kids cheering on the collapse of the Twin Towers really set people off, I remember that).
This country lost it's soul on that day and will never get it back. F*ck being nostalgic, I'm saddened cause these people in these photos were essentially sacrificed for a smash & grab oil war. That future generations will eventually enlist in not knowing the cause...that's if we haven't created a new enemy out of thin air that has resources America wants and used disaster capitalism to get there.
I never forget.
RIP to all the victims lost on that fateful day.

The US doesn't give a fukk about their citizens. That's a well known fact. A school full of elementary school kids gets shot up and they don't make any major changes to their laws. That says a lot.

No country really does
Who gives a fukk about Indians? Any black person who cares about white people being racist towards them is dumb. Red dot Indians have been racist towards blacks to get in with whitey since day one.
Honestly couldn't give a fukk about their troubles...
That is truly a chilling picture, and I wish I didn't see that this late at night.
I actually saw it happen. I was in class n outside the window, I saw a blur fly towards a building, and just a whole bunch of smoke.
At first, I honestly thought it was a movie and was like"That's a cool effect!". but then I noticed a whole panic around me, and realized something was very wrong. They cancelled all classes after that, and even though I was in Brooklyn, there was still a panic around me from people trying to get to phones to contact family members and seeing what was going on.
That day, 2 things stuck to my head: the smoke coming from the crash just hanging over the air, never moving, and the static from the TV when I got home as I tried flipping through channels to see if there was any information. I overheard somewhere that it was the Twin Towers that got hit, but the scary part was not knowing what the hell that blur I saw in the sky was was until much later and if it would happen again.
My heart goes out to all those souls in Ground Zero, and everyone who managed to survive the attack.
Wow.
I remember that I was in my middle school History class (coincidentally) and I watched the second plane hit the Tower on CNN and seeing the whole thing collapse. Craziest thing that I ever saw.
Honestly I think this country will never get over that day. At least not for generations and generations.

I miss pre 9/11 America so bad 
Feel sorry for kids born in the late 90s who don't know better.

It never really hit me how many people died. I still can't fathom it.
That was a SINGLE event.
That was a SINGLE event.
The government didn't do it.
The Saudi's and their funding of radicals did it.
The Anglo-countries just used it as a pretense to invade.
I miss the fact that I can't visit friends AT THE GATE anymore.I miss pre 9/11 America so bad
