We love to demonise African customs, norms, spirituality and religion instead of admitting to our own ignorance and
internalised disdain for our very own pre-colonial roots.

Society wants Black people to stomach racism with a smile and extend grace to literal racists.
Fuck that.
Fuck you.
Fuck them.
Fuck around and find out.
They’re killing us and making some of kill ourselves?!?
I’m enraged and I’m not playing into respectability politics.

@ Schwarze in Deutschland…
Black people need to accept that we’re moving toward pure, unadulterated racism that can’t be rationalised with. They’d rather see us suffer or dead than see us simply existing, living normally. Nothing matters to them… not your grades, your experience, your work. Even with proof in front of them, they won’t believe it, because they don’t think you deserve it.
Yesterday several Black kids posted their A-Level results and suddenly it’s “DEI.” In Britain….where exams are marked blind and DEI has nothing to do with any of it. Even when you work hard, they’ll tell you that you did not.

Patriarchy has never only punished women. It punishes anyone who fails to perform the gender roles it demands. That’s why feminine men are ridiculed. That’s why gay men are attacked for expressing attraction to other men. That’s why bisexual men are stereotyped as predatory, deceitful, or less masculine.

there comes a time when you have to sit w yourself and confront the possibility that you’re not as progressive, liberal, open-minded or understanding as you believe. maybe it’s your upbringing, religion, or community. but at least once, owe yourself an honest look in the mirror.

And all of them are unambiguously dark skinned black men. But when it’s time to follow the same pattern with casting dark skinned black actresses, the grandmother would be black and dark skinned while the daughter and grand-daughter would be light skinned and mixed.

Choice Feminismus ist wirklich der letzte Rückzugsort für politisch und intellektuell überforderte Linksliberale weil wie kommst du darauf dass „sie macht das freiwillig“ ein angemessenes Argument ist um irgendwas zu verteidigen was im Kapitalismus passiert

Do you realize how unlikeable of a country you have to be for LATINOS to root for SPAIN (the country that colonized them) over you??????
Oui of genuine concern…
How are black people in Paraguay doing? I need my siblings to give us a sign….

It's worth noting how Mbappe has the same number of goals as Norway's Haaland. Haaland has been catapulted to GQ covers. He seems nice as well as talented. Conversely, Mbappe is receiving global racial abuse even from politicians bc anti-Blackness is pervasive the world over.
The racist, dehumanising remarks against @KMbappe by Paraguayan Sen. Celeste Amarilla are despicable, regrettably not isolated.
States & sports organisations must prevent acts of racism & discrimination, and ensure independent and effective accountability. Social media must also prevent and address racial discrimination on their platforms.

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
The average African easily speaks 3-4 languages to varying degrees. Being multilingual is a necessity with multilingual societies and a plethora of different ethnic groups with heir own language, customs and cultures. Families intermarry as well, so a common language is needed.
