In 1979, during the Iran 🇮🇷 hostage crisis, Iran released all the 13 Black hostages out of the 39 total hostages. And everybody should hear why the Ayatollah felt the Black people should be released.

What? Let me find out the Ayatollah was a real one.

Isn’t there a Chappelle joke saying that Black people don’t get taken as hostages because terrorists realize the government wouldn’t be interested in saving them?

Respectfully that is pure PR, guy took a bunch of hostages for no reason, ain’t a good guy

Glorifying theocratic leaders of any type, even in this case when it led to the release of black hostages, is not a good take.
Fundamentalists anywhere are a threat to freedom everywhere.

But this doesn’t justify everything else that he did. He was still a dictator of a fascist regime. He claims to respect women, and yet the women of Iran celebrated when Khameni died. Rape victims were executed in Iran for accusing their rapists.

Yall remember that Dave Chappell bit about black people being bad hostages:
Wow! This totally makes up for the subsequent years of oppression and atrocities!

Sometimes I seriously doubt the amount of black people contributing to this sub. This post is evidence.
He’s talking about struggle and oppression (and backs it up with action) and people on here are calling him a dictator.
Edit: please just read the amount of anti ayatollah comments on here. Ziobots have been called into action
Edit 2: just check the replies here. IRL when have you ever heard a black person with strong feelings about the ayatollah. So strong that the my write 2 paragraphs about how evil he is.

How’s Iran treat it’s citizens descended from African slaves. That’s the question that should be asked.

I feel like it should go without saying that there are no good guys in this war (besides the innocent civilians caught up in the crossfire). Trying to praise Iranian leadership just because America sucks is a shit take.

Yeah he SUCKED! But that ain’t what people are upset about.

That’s great and all, but this is 100% politics, not true altruism. Just look at how women and minorities are treated in Iran.

Apparently when the hostages got back to the us, they weren’t treated very well because of this

Let’s not glaze the ayatollah – sure that was a cool thing to do but he only did it to stick it to the US. Just because he doesn’t like the US doesn’t make him a friend, but rather the enemy of your enemy.
Don’t fall for the propaganda that Iran’s regime cares about people. Innocent children were killed in the strike on the school but Iran’s regime regularly has supported the displacement and killing of children.

This needs to be shared more often
Yeah, no. Theocratic dictators get no pass.

Read Amnesty International’s Human rights report on iran: [https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/middle-east-and-north-africa/middle-east/iran/](https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/middle-east-and-north-africa/middle-east/iran/)

I was flying to Puerto Rico to visit Family after 9/11.
People kept asking me if I was afraid. I told them I was the safest dude in the air.
Terrorist aren’t stupid
” Hello .. Mr. President .. We have a fucking plane full of Puerto Ricans and if you don’t …….”
“Hello .. Mr. President? Damn he hung up?!”
They actually kept one iircc
This motherfucker murdered my cousin and imprisoned and beat my mom, in the 80s.
If hell exists, I hope Satan shoves a pineapple up his ass, peels his skin back, and boils him like an egg.
I dont care what and why he believed whatever. Fuck him and the rest of the regime. And fuck all of you who like/respect/blahblah him.
You do not have to gas up the guy who murdered 20k leftists shortly after he came to power, or oppressed Afro-Iranians & Kurds, etc. come on!
This sub is being heavily targeted with Chinese disinformation.
Wow Iran cares more about black American people than white Americans
WAY too many weird accounts defending the Ayatollah in this thread.
He also said children can be raped as long as they do not die as a direct consequence.
Idolizing this fucking rapist is just topnotch reddit foolery.
Qatar has been the one of the biggest proponents of this war for decades.
