    Western standards of beauty currently dominate our world because we still live in the imperial model which continues to colonize and enslave. We resist white supremacy, "western" superiority and colonized ways of thinking and being by LOVING ourselves, generously, beautifully and joyfully in spite of any active or subliminal efforts to make us feel unworthy of love and life. If drones dropping bombs and a war economy are civilized then we are proudly not that. We are BEAUTIFUL BARBARIANS, selflessly savage and uncivilized. We eat with our hands. We smell like the spices we love to eat. We love the Earth tenderly as part of ourselves, not separate, not a thing to simply profit from. We love our hair, our noses, our skin and our own ways of thinking and being. We take back terms like barbarian, savage and uncivilized and wear them proudly as we honor our ancestors. We serve Creator by living in harmony with our selves recognizing that we are completely interconnected and in a state of interbeing, always.
    Love - always,
    Mona

    Lyrics:
    If they're civilized,
    I'd rather stay savage
    We them barbarians
    Beautiful and scaring them
    Earth shakin rattling
    Be wild out loud again
    We them barbarians
    Jasmine and Frankincense
    Feminine invading them
    Beautiful Barbarians
    Say it again
    Beautiful barbarian
    Say it again
    Beautiful barbarian
    A beast before, now, they
    wanna be wearin my skin
    We don’t let them win
    We beautiful barbarians
    Lemme think back, I remember days
    On these big lips, oh they used to hate
    Now the script flipped
    Oh, hayy!
    They gotta lipkit
    Kylie J
    One hunnit, real talk, that’s what I’m on
    If I’m a savage, then you’re a fraud
    My chains off
    won’t be long
    see me glowing
    Look at God
    So fresh and so eloquent, uh
    I keep it humble and elegant, ah
    Your beauty standard irrelevant
    A revolution is so imminent
    We keep it joyful and bedouin
    I see my momma as evidence, ah
    Nobody needs your benevolence, wha??
    Feminist planet is imminent, ahh.
    We them barbarians
    Beautiful and scaring them
    Earth shakin rattling
    Be wild out loud again
    We them barbarians
    Jasmine and Frankincense
    Feminine invading them
    Beautiful Barbarians
    Say it again
    Beautiful barbarian
    Say it again
    Beautiful barbarian
    A beast before, now, they
    wanna be wearin my skin
    We don’t let them win
    We beautiful barbarians
    Barbarian? that's how you really feel?
    Like you didn't start war over oil fields?
    Opium, poppy seed.
    Money moves, Cardi B.
    Tried to make me hate me for my hips and nose
    Now they got imposters, on a spread in Vogue
    Not a single feature
    That they let us own
    Oh they packin fillers
    Styrofoam
    Ultralight beam metaphysical, huhn
    Power no longer invisible, huhn
    Your beauty standard is cynical, oh
    A revolution is so critical
    Power so deep and so mystical
    They say the personal is so political, oh
    Women our future is winnable
    We gotta be indivisible
    This nose, decolonize
    This hair, decolonize
    This body, decolonize
    This mind, decolonized.

    Im not muslim or arab. Im a native hawaiian christian but this message really resonates with me. Us too, we were also called savages and the United States supported the overthrowal of our monarchy and took away our suffrage because they said we weren't capable of governing ourselves. Thank you for talking about the colonial stigmas concerning the bodies of people of color. Something ive dealt with in my family being mixed and indigenous.

    I'm from Turkey and even though I'm not a Muslim I grew up with Muslim and middle eastern culture and they're deeply ingrained in me. I often feel a dislike towards my own culture because of the western slandering towards it and I hate that I'm wired to think like that. Mona, what you're doing is honestly changing me, it's so empowering. It's hard to not get disheartened in this world as a middle eastern woman but this song is lifting my spirit from all that trouble. Thank you for your words!

      How are you not brainwashed? Were you not told by your parents at an early age about Islam? Were you not taught Islam in school? Is your country not built on Islam? How is that not brainwashing whomever is born in that country, also just because a lot of people believe something is true, does not make it so. Just like everyone thought the earth was flat some hundred years ago or that the earth was at the center of the universe, it wasn't.

So when you win this war there's something called hostages you caught them and u can at wars roles exchange them or prison them or do whatever unless killing them as the humanity wise history don't told you that islam grabbed people from their homes and made them slaves they were soldiers who's you talke about i think islam literally the only religion didn't killed their hostages and kept their souls
      by the way Israel at modern history killed their hostages after wars and forced them to dig there graves and killed them in there so what your opinion about that islam never did so you can search more to be fair

    Sitting while eating means being humble while eating as far as I know

      It’s also hypocritical. Pizza, french fries, chicken fingers, sandwiches. There’s tons of western food that we eat with our hands. It only seems to become a problem when it’s food we don’t recognize or don’t associate with “finger food.” There’s absolutely zero shame in eating with fingers when the fingers are clean.

      I dont pity her. Although she is a sad sack of shit.
      She is like the socialists living in the US, who want a socialist nation.
      If they thought socialism was so great, they would move to the DPRK, Cuba or Venezuala.
      If Islam is so great, this person would move to an Islamic country. Maybe try Iran or Saudi, Im sure she would be making these videos there.

      @@MrMittens1974 there's nothing inherently wrong with wearing a hijab. the thing that is wrong is forcing people to do something they don't want to do. freedom is what people want and need. to wear whatever feels right for them without other people butting in and telling them what's ok and what isn't ok. like, your comment, for example.

    I think Middle Eastern women are gorgeous. Every time I saw a woman wearing her hijab I thought, "she's so beautiful." You are so beautiful and talented Mona. I am so thankful that I found your music. I want to see more nonwestern people and cultures gain greater representation. We are all stronger when we're united.

She's refering to any non-Western people that are called "barbaric" by racist people. That's why the title is not "B*rber" (which is an insult towards North African people).

      abd-er-RAH-man Yes it's an insult to North Africans. The word "barbar" itself has it's origins from Ancient Greece. Ancient Greeks used to call pretty much anyone not Greek "barbar" but then the word turned to mean "uncivilized/wild", which racist uses for many groups of people/cultures that are not Western. I'm not sure exactly how that turned into "B*rber" (used for North Afican/Amazigh people) though.

    • @feinfein4444
      @feinfein4444 6 лет назад +6

      when you said "berber" i know you referring to the tribes in north africa (not as an insult despite the fact that its derived from ancient greek) who are also called " Amazigh" but when you say " barbarian or barbaric" you dont have to be referring to north africa people because they mean any human who is savage and not civilized from any nation .. so i dont think berber is an insult and its just my opinion..

    • @feinfein4444
      @feinfein4444 6 лет назад

      Alright berber is a slur given to north african , I dont support colonization or anything .. but it translates to " بربري " in arabic which is the same word writen in the begginig of the video so.. is she insulting north africa tribes or referring to them or she just means uncivilized?

    • @waymilky442
      @waymilky442 6 лет назад +5

      "B*rber" is written as "البربرية" or in plural (B*rbers) as "البربر". The words she uses and which you gave "بربري" translates to as "barbaric". So she's not using the term for North Africans from what I can see. Of course she's not insulting North Africans. She's reclaiming an insulting word that has been used for Middle Easterners, North Africans and many other non-Western people.
