Germany

The only nation to get away with two back to back genocides in a single century, and still find itself on the wrong side of history because the nazi idea’s that helped it were never taken out of the public sphere. Support for Israel is not of genuine good, especially when the political power in Germany has a long history of familial ties with the nazi party. Kind of like the KKK working with the Black Muslims in America to promote segregation (while simultaneously bombing and killing young black children). Like the KKK, support of Israel is so that the Jews can finally leave and go to Israel (think about it as a form of self cleansing of the land).

For as much shit as the Americans get (justifiably), Germany will always be a special case. The fact that they got away and can still get away with never mentioning the most atrocious genocide (yes, even worse than the holocaust), the genocide of the Herero and Nama people in Namibia. German women’s treatment of the Namibian women, while purporting to want women’s rights is the reason why black women (retire the word P/WOC) should be weary of any “solidarity.” The idea that you need allies to succeed only works if your allies have the same values as you. Black women globally face different challenges from other women. Black women face disproportionately more violence globally compared to other women, if there is a group of women viewed less than human by all groups, it would be Black women. So don’t let anyone guilt you into believing that just because they are a woman, their fight is the same as yours. As insane as this may sound, even Herero and Nama women were treated worse than the women in the other genocide (this doesn’t take away from the atrocious acts against the Jewish people, genocide in all its forms should be condemned). It is even more disheartening to know that people are now only bringing up the Namibian genocide to create a case against Germany’s alliance with Israel. The alleged “awareness” is not genuine. The coverage of Palestine when compared to other genocides currently happening and that have been happening for longer (with greater deaths in both long and short time periods) is very interesting. The weird forcing and demonization of Black people’s reluctance to support groups that when they arrive in the US choose to align themselves with the white power structure (Asian/Arab relations with the Black community). Black face still being a prominent form of comedy in various non- black nations (including the Arab world, Asia, South- America, and Eastern Europe) should be a testament that this is not simply a racism issue, this is purely anti- blackness. The alleged violence against Asians and Arabs (stop Asian hate) was easily adopted globally, because they are seen as a docile group of people (an image they adopted to hide their terror acts against others, think Japan and hello kitty). What the rest of the world doesn’t see is the long history of these groups coming into Black communities and treating Blacks so poorly that some Blacks would even go on to say they prefer Whites come in the community instead. You cannot terrorize a people and expect them to just take it, when they do react the world looks at them as savages (yet the world steals and mimicks their culture).

In conclusion, choose and fight your battles correctly. Or else, you will end up being subjugated by the people you are fighting for. When that happens do not be surprised, they have shown you time and time again you are not one of them. They don’t and will never see you as an equal (if the shoe fits, wear it. If it doesn’t keep it moving).

Still, aim for financial freedom, for financial problems are what create hostility and a lack of understanding in any relationship.

Regardless of gender, the world is selfish, the least you can do is contribute to the selfishness. If you choose to do the opposite, don’t be “pikachu face” surprised when others act accordingly. This does not mean actively seeking to harm others, it simply means not walking around with rose coloured glasses.

This is also why I believe socialism would be hard to implement in nations such as the USA. These people have known individualism, faux capitalism, and many other forms of selfish living that the idea of helping others is completely foreign to them.

Aside from his many awful takes and genuine superiority complex, F.D. Signifier’s ability to excuse the abuse that black men put black women through in the name of “slavery,” “trauma,” “poverty,” and any other excuse you can come up with makes his judgment of abusive men such Depp and others seem disingenuous. He does not seem anti violence against women, he seems more vocal against a certain type of abuser (phenotype). Every time I watch him by accident, I feel some sort of disgust. Just a take.

How did we let Johnny Depp get away with this?

As more and more photos and videos surface of the atrocities being done to the Palestinian people, Sudanese people, Congolese people, and the war in Ukraine; how we as a global population regardless of borders are able to share the same planet as these poor people seems so dystopian. Global wars have always been a thing, but in the past, they had the excuse of not being able to see how atrocious acts of war and genocide can be (not that it should be an excuse), but now with the power and influence of technology, what is our excuse? I do understand that even as groups on a global stage we are powerless to the corporations, military, and political powers/industries with interests in these wars. I still feel sick to my stomach how vicious we are against people we view as being different and in some cases lower than us. This is beyond global politics, even in our respective nations, the treatment of fellow humans is what allows us to turn a blind eye to global suffering. Peace does not mean alliance, it is not a declaration of friendship, it is simply allowing for the existence of a fellow human. I pray that during my lifetime the world will know at least one decade of peace.

Sorry to OP for the political take, but I will proceed nonetheless.

The statement would make sense if Africans or non- western nations were the sole victim to the imperial/colonial west. The reality is harsh. The reality is that for every person that carries this view, there is another person willing to hold the western world to a high pedestal and relinquish them of their evil (which might seem like what I am doing, but let’s try to keep up and be honest for a few minutes). As nation states (political science term) we must learn to take accountability and learn from how our short coming benefit the “evil oppressor” west. *also when I refer to the west I am referring to the government or political powers.*

Thomas Sankara, Lumumba, and many other unknown leaders would not have met the fate they did had it not been for a selfish fellow country man. Yes, the west infiltrated their nations, but infiltration only works if there is a crack in the group. Belgium, France, and the CIA killed lumumba, but it was made possible by Morocco’s military (read the killing of lumumba) and the black leaders in Congo. In an effort to gain power, they chose to not only kill their fellow countryman (who was seeking peace for the nation), but also help plunge the country into a state of destitution it has never moved away from (argue with your mom, Congo is and will always be the biggest and most ignored humanitarian crisis). The same goes for Sankara, peoples need for power allows them to sacrifice the people of whom they should be advocating for. So, yes, let’s blame the western world for its wrongs, but let’s not act like we don’t have our own short coming that aide in creating the strong western influence in non- western nations.

Now to the point of the post, terrorism and immigration are not threats created and imposed by the western world. Xenophobia transcends borders, South Africa and its xenophobia against other *specifically black* immigrants; if you want to blame someone for your problems you have a large white and Asian populations taking away your resources over there in South Africa. Zambia, has a long history of violence and xenophobia against black immigrants. The list goes on for many other nations. These are not creations of the western world per se, these are a result of a lack of education, accountability, and simply the reality of living in a capitalist society. Placing blame on the west does not take away the fact that nationalism and capitalism breeds hate even in African, Asian, Latino (Hispanic, South American), and many other nations. it's not a western problem, it is a worldly problem. Also how do you argue terrorism? When Nigeria and Kenya have been attacked by terrorist groups, that claim to fight against western values. exactly what western values? women being given partial freedoms (partial because western women are not as free as they are made to look), freedom to an education and therefor a personal income. what freedoms are they fighting exactly? Two things can be true at once, yes the west is an evil super power that creates problems, but so is religious extremism (christianity, islam, Judaism, hinduism, etc.,) that breeds terrorism. These are not fears created or imposed by the west, these are fears of any nation having to interact with other nations. In the name of hating the western world, we end up praising our new oppressors and imperialist (China, Russia, etc.,). Two wrongs don’t make a right.

There is no such thing as a safe “Black Leader”

Men will always be men, regardless of proximity to power or lack thereof. Throughout Black movements that have been led by men, the number common one occurrence is abuse of minors and women. It is almost as if it is a requirement to be a black leader. I will always tell women/girls and any black minors to be careful and even go as far as never joining or engaging with any movements led by a man. You put yourself at greater risk of abuse by those men and even the self hating women that follow them. You can advocate for your people/group without being in an organization, especially one led by a man. Be safe and put your safety, health, and peace first. Practice discernment and always walk away at the first sign of a red flag. No matter how small it is, with enough feeding and exposure it will become unbearable at some point.

As a girl/woman always aim to please yourself and not others, especially as a black woman. Self pleasure before anyone else. It is not your job to “pour” into someone else. If you as a black woman facing the most harsh world can pour into yourself, why must you pour into people with more access than you? In the next years, regardless of the political atmosphere, it is important to focus on yourselves, health, safety, and peace.

This is why when discussing issues concerning black people or in this case black women/girls it is important to implement these characteristics in the slogan. Say her Black name, cannot be easily co-opted without answering to the fact that the co-option takes away the violence that Black women face. Yes, we should advocate for equality and peace, but anyone who knows the history of Black people and other minorities should tread carefully when interacting with these so called fellow minorities. Not to get too deep into history but, anti- blackness permeates through all marginalized societies. I say this because I want us to understand that it is not only the “white” man/person that views you as less than human. The other groups greater proximity to “whiteness” makes them an even greater danger to you compared to the “white” man/person. They can harm you and lean on their minority status to shield themselves from the accusation of racism. So, maybe we should move away from the claim of racism and side more with the claim of anti- blackness and get rid of the “POC” and “minority” statements. I do implore that we diverge away from the victim mentality, and simply learn to view the world for what it is. Everyone is in it for themselves, and it seems only Black people globally fail to understand that.

what continues to be insane to me is how "Say Her Name" was created because of how people (including other Black people!) ignored the violence Black women were experiencing and now it's become a phrase that's been misappropriated arguably even more than "Black Lives Matter" and every time you try to point out that the use of it to refer to anyone who is not a Black woman is disrespectful people call you chronically online. hate all you bitches fr

The same man that made it his goal to rape women, first by practicing on young black women in the ghetto. Then going on to rape white women. When choosing a partner, he had a pattern of choosing women of a certain look. These are the same stories of many black “leaders” in the “black community.” Yet, black women have historically fought and went out of their way to highlight the “beauty” of these men. Why do we erase the history of the harm they cause upon their own communities. Look at many of the women chosen by black “leaders,” they all fit a certain look. Community has never existed in this community. If these are the leaders we choose to represent us, then don’t be surprised when the non leaders perpetuate the same behavior. A community cannot govern themselves, when their leaders are corrupt and dangerous to their community. You cannot continue to blame another community for the short comings of your community, in order to change accountability must be taken. Let’s also not forget the stats on rape, teenage pregnancy and who actually impregnates/rapes these young women. The math ain’t mathing.

Unfortunately this looks like the Rwandan genocide 2.0, but then again this is often the outlook of wars in Africa. The idea is Africans are naturally inclined to be at war with each other, not the fact that there are various groups of people funding terrorist organizations and incentivizing them to create disruptions in the nation. The lack of information in the media regarding these wars and simply making them a one groups vs the other, takes away from the real players. Many wars in Africa are simply proxy wars. We should never forget the consequences of ignoring the Rwandan genocide (whose violence is still happening today but kept silent by the current government, look up the killing of Kizito Mihigo). Let’s advocate for Sudan, Congo, Burundi, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and many other nations.

They're also censoring people who use these tags on X. Sudanese creators and activists who are talking about their experiences -and often not able to share extensive details about their sufferings because if they do, they could be killed for sharing information. Saying 'genocide' is getting their posts flagged and accounts banned too. We need to be talking about this too.

Let’s give all genocide the same attention. All eyes on Sudan, Congo, and many overlooked genocides/wars in Africa. 🇨🇩🇸🇩🇧🇮🇱🇷🇸🇱🇹🇩🇨🇫 and many more.

it really is mind-boggling to me that the only reason i know about the Congolese and Sudanese genocides is because of the tireless work of grassroots activists and advocates posting on social media. I can honestly say that if I didn't have social media and didn't happen to be following Black authors and activists, I never would have known what was happening in Sudan and Congo because it is simply not being reported in the great majority of mainstream media. We're talking millions upon millions of PEOPLE enduring unimaginable pain and devastation with next to no official reporting. And yes that is in huge part due to the level of violence and displacement occurring that is preventing a lot of news from getting out of these countries, but it's also so blatantly due to anti-Black racism and the perception of African Nations as inherently savage and violent. But genocide is not and never should be normal for anyone anywhere. With that in mind, please keep Congo and Sudan in your thoughts. Check out Focus Congo for resources to help the Congolese people on the ground. Focus Congo's MO is a local organisation whose goal is to rebuild homes, rehabilitate land, and provide medical aid, education, and resources to Congo's most affected people. Also, Check out Keep Eyes On Sudan for how to help out and raise awareness of Sudanese people displaced by civil war. According to Sudanese TikToker bsonblast, donations to local food kitchens in Sudan are desperately needed to fight famine. If anyone has other resources specifically for helping Congo and Sudan, please add them and link them <3
