Face-to-Face

All of the stories from the Face to Face website were interesting and influential to me. All of the interviewed seemed to have their rights violated and an invasion of their privacy. I thought it was chilling that multiple people said it was amazing how much the government knew about them and that they were racist against them just because of how their name is pronounced. All of the stories had hints of fear and invasion in them and make me feel embarrassed to be a 'white person.' Kinya's father was discriminated against just for being involved in Martial Arts and Kiyo had heard diary read by an FBI agent which seems completely unnecessary that the children had no sugar coating during the entire aftermath, they were harassed and they had nothing to do with the attacks. "You're a good family" is what the last FBI agent said to Kiyo's mother which disgusts me that they just left after destroying their home and without any explanation. Sayema Hameed had a good interview were she addressed that terrorists feel like they have nothing left to live for and she seemed to have a deeper understanding for them which is admirable and makes her a bigger person than myself because she feels sympathy and understanding for the terrorists and wants to take a different approach to stopping terrorism other than just killing them. Muhammad El Nasla- "We're not all terrorist's.." "I am not a terrorist I am an Arab American. All of these stories were effective and persuasive and even though it hurts to listen to these stories it is important in order to keep the past from repeating itself.
