The Ones Who Claimed Africa's Whole Gold Inventory

At any point might you at some point comprehend that Elon, musk, Jeff, Bezos or Bernard Arnold are only walking around the domain of the rich? In no way, shape or form these refined men have shot themselves to an unbelievable status, standing side by side with the titans of abundance all through the chronicles of history. Presently, how about we set out on a fascinating excursion to investigate and reveal the tales of the genuine heavyweights. Who've made a permanent imprint on the abundance scene across hundreds of years, John d Rockefeller. While diving into the records of history's most affluent people, we unavoidably experience faces that become the stuff of dreams for scheme, scholars around the world, john d Rockefeller is exactly one such figure.

Sara Baartman (1789–1815), also known as Saartjie Baartman, was a Khoisan woman from South Africa who became a symbol of exploitation and racial discrimination. Born in the Eastern Cape, she was a member of the Khoikhoi people. Baartman was taken to Europe under false pretences in 1810, lured by promises of wealth and a better life. Instead, she became the subject of public exhibition due to her physical features, particularly her large hips and buttocks, which European audiences regarded with a mix of fascination and derision.

In England and later France, she was displayed as part of "freak shows" and referred to as the "Hottentot Venus," a derogatory term that reflected the racist and colonial attitudes of the time. Her body was objectified and subjected to pseudoscientific scrutiny, particularly by French naturalists, who used her as a case study to perpetuate racist theories of human inferiority.

Sara Baartman died in Paris on December 29, 1815, at the age of 26, likely from pneumonia, smallpox, or syphilis. After her death, her body was dissected, and her remains, including her skeleton and preserved genitals, were displayed in French museums for over a century.

In 2002, following years of advocacy and recognition of the inhumanity she suffered, her remains were repatriated to South Africa and given a proper burial in the Eastern Cape, marking a symbolic act of restitution and respect for her legacy. Today, Sara Baartman is remembered as a tragic victim of colonial exploitation and a symbol of the struggle against racism and dehumanization.🇿🇦

FB2B Animal Fact

African Clawed Frog:

Uhoh the store is sold out of pregnancy tests!!!??? Just get some urine and an African Clawed Frog! Sounds crazy but this is how human pregnancy testing worked prior to disposable home tests.

From around 1930s-1960s these frogs were used as live pregnancy tests. Urine would be injected into the frog and if hCG was present, the frog would lay infertile (obviously!) eggs. The importation of African Clawed Frogs is thought to be the reason for rampant spread of chytrid fungus impacting many native amphibians populations. Conservation Status: least concerned.

* Note while they are LC, the impacted populations are in decline

Why the West Is Obsessed with Africa

…and why Burkina Faso is at the center of it all If Africa reclaims what’s rightfully hers, the global balance of power shifts. Permanently. The West knows this. That’s why it’s obsessed, not with Africa’s people, but with its resources. From gold and cobalt to solar real estate and shipping corridors, Africa holds the raw materials of the 21st-century economy. And the more African nations like…

So are we emailing Kamala only about Palestine and are the atrocities still happening in Ukraine already old news?

And dont even get me started about current affairs in Bangladesh and several African countries.

bruh this is such a weird message you’re like this tweet

like are you trying to score vindictive moral brownie points or smthn. These are also things people should research and care abt, of course. The reason advocating for Palestine is so pressing to rally around is because we, unlike with Ukraine!!!, are actively funding, arming, and participating in its current destruction and in the killing of thousands and THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE

“Don’t even get me started…”. Bro what are you fucking doing on my tumblr blog mad at me abt this shit. You sound like a stern parent. Go make some noise in the president’s inbox if you actually care about these issues. Do you think I’m fucking Taylor Swift??? It’s a miracle the post I made even gained traction lmfao that was luck of the draw + thanks to a few mutuals I have that have wider audiences.

This reeks of “person who gets told what to do by social media” lmfao like I am literally not stopping you. You don’t need a green light from a random tumblr user to advocate for things you care about. Don’t make me god in your head and then get mad at me when I don’t make up commandments for you??

Modern Pirates of the African Coast

"Okay, what do you do with this money?"

-

"The money? I use to buy ammunition and speed boats, and the rest to take care of our families. Because we do our jobs. That is why we are doing this dirty job."

"You come to exploit here and don't want to employ me. That is why, that is the major reason why we are doing this. You don't want to employ us and you are exploiting from us."

-

I find this very sad. These people have ZERO prospects for their future from the moment they were born. Their country has been used, abused and had the wealth sucked out of it over the last 4 centuries, continues to be exploited to the extreme and they grow up in harder circumstances than Westerners could ever fathom. They take from this a lesson: their lives are meaningless to the powers-that-be and if they want any shot at wealth or security, then they must fight to the death to take it.

Is it really surprising then that some of these men with no future and no security turn to kidnapping, smuggling and extortion to give their lives some meaning?

The Kindness of Black People: Generosity, Exploitation, and the Need for Genuine Appreciation

A Garveyite Perspective on How Black Benevolence Is Exploited and the Need for Self-Preservation

One of the defining characteristics of Black people across the world is kindness, generosity, and an unwavering spirit of hospitality. Whether in Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, or North America, Black people have historically been welcoming, open-hearted, and willing to share their resources, time, and culture with others. However, this kindness has often been exploited, taken for granted, and used as a tool to weaken Black self-sufficiency and collective power.

From a Garveyite perspective, Black generosity should not come at the expense of Black self-preservation, sovereignty, and self-determination. This analysis will explore:

The historical roots of Black kindness and communal values.

How Black generosity has been exploited by outsiders, both historically and in modern times.

Why Black people must balance kindness with self-interest and collective upliftment.

The importance of genuine appreciation and reciprocation, rather than blind giving.

1. The Historical Roots of Black Kindness and Communal Values

Before colonialism and the transatlantic slave trade, Black societies across Africa and the diaspora were deeply rooted in communal living, shared resources, and hospitality. Unlike the Western capitalist mindset that emphasizes individual wealth accumulation, African and Indigenous Black communities embraced Ubuntu—a philosophy, which means “I am because we are.”

Examples of Traditional Black Generosity:

African Communalism: In traditional African societies, land was shared, food was distributed collectively, and families took care of one another’s children.

The Maroons and Runaway Slave Communities: Enslaved Africans who escaped would form free Black societies and take in other escapees, offering protection and food.

Black American Hospitality: Despite oppression, Black Americans have historically welcomed others into their communities, offering food, shelter, and mentorship.

Caribbean & Latin American Generosity: Many Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latin cultures are famous for their open-door policy—welcoming guests as family.

The Problem? Black kindness has been systematically exploited by colonial powers, outsiders, and even members of our own race who prioritize personal gain over collective progress.

2. How Black Generosity Has Been Exploited by Outsiders

Black people's openness has often been met with betrayal and exploitation—both historically and in modern times. When a people are known for their generosity but lack economic and political control, they become easy targets for manipulation.

Historical Examples of Exploitation:

Colonial Deception: European colonizers were welcomed into African societies as “guests,” only to betray, enslave, and exploit the same people who helped them.

The Transatlantic Slave Trade: African rulers and traders, in their spirit of commerce and openness, initially engaged in trade with Europeans—only to later realize that they were being manipulated into selling their own people into an inescapable system of oppression.

Cultural Appropriation: Black music, art, and spiritual traditions have been generously shared with the world, but they are often stolen, repackaged, and sold without benefiting Black creators.

Economic Extraction: Black nations are among the richest in natural resources but remain the poorest because outsiders exploit their generosity and lack of collective control.

Modern Examples of Exploitation:

Immigrant Communities Profiting Off Black money: Many non-Black groups set up businesses in Black neighbourhoods (beauty supply stores, corner shops, restaurants) but do not reinvest into the Black community.

Black Women’s Emotional Labour: Black women are often expected to be caretakers, nurturers, and emotional support systems, but when they need support, the same people they help often turn away.

Black Political Advocacy for Others: Black people have fought for civil rights, justice, and equity, but other racial and social groups who benefit from Black activism rarely reciprocate that solidarity when Black people are in need.

The Result? Black people give, but rarely receive the same kindness and support in return.

3. Why Black People Must Balance Kindness with Self-Preservation

While generosity is a beautiful trait, it must be strategic. Marcus Garvey warned against blindly giving without ensuring that Black people benefit from their labor, wealth, and cultural production.

Key Lessons from Garveyism:

Put Black People First: Black people must prioritize building their own economic and political power before extending help to others.

Stop Giving Away Resources for Free: Black artists, thinkers, and entrepreneurs should ensure that their work benefits their own community before outsiders profit from it.

Create Reciprocity, Not Dependency: If Black communities support businesses, organizations, or individuals, those entities must give back to the community—or they should not be supported.

Be Selective with Kindness: Not everyone who benefits from Black generosity respects Black people. If outsiders refuse to support Black liberation, they should not be given access to Black resources.

If Black people do not balance generosity with self-preservation, they will continue being exploited.

4. The Importance of Genuine Appreciation vs. Selective Exploitation

Black people must demand genuine appreciation, not just symbolic praise or temporary alliances. Many groups praise Black culture but refuse to support Black economic independence or social justice.

Fake Appreciation vs. Real Support:

Music & Art: Many non-Black people celebrate Black culture (Hip-Hop, Reggae, Afrobeat) but do not support Black communities financially or politically.

Black Women’s Labour: Many corporations use Black women’s activism, aesthetics, and leadership but do not offer equal opportunities, pay, or protection.

Black Movements & Political Power: Many groups use Black movements as a blueprint (feminism, LGBTQ rights, immigration advocacy) but do not fight for Black issues.

Genuine Appreciation Requires:

Economic Investment – If people love Black culture, they must invest in Black businesses and industries.

Political Support – If people benefit from Black activism, they must show up for Black political causes.

Mutual Respect – Black people should stop supporting those who do not support them.

5. Conclusion: Black Generosity Must Serve Black Empowerment

The kindness of Black people is a gift and a strength, but when it is not paired with self-interest and economic control, it becomes a tool for exploitation.

Black generosity must be tied to collective advancement.

Black people must stop giving their labour, culture, and resources to those who do not reciprocate.

Support must be conditional—those who do not respect Black people should not benefit from Black kindness.

Final Garveyite Takeaway: Garveyism teaches that love for others must never come before love for self. If Black people want true liberation, they must learn to say NO to exploitation and YES to their own self-determination.

Review of Decolonial Marxism by Walter Rodney

A wonderfully modern revolutionary read. I think the main problem that most of the people i know see with communism is that it was supported by a bunch of stuffy old european men in a time before many of us had rights- rights that the communists barely addressed, if they did at all. Their words don’t squarely fit into our 21st century American perspective. Rodney points out that they don’t need to. The idea that marxism and communism are white western european ideologies are simply false unless you want them to be true, if that makes sense. Places that have adopted Marxism in some form, many of which were not white at all, took the theory and adapted it to their cultural and historical contexts. Of course Marx doesn’t make sense in 21st century USA: it was never meant to. That doesn’t mean that it can’t be taken and adapted to our needs. Saying Marx doesn’t work for us is the easy way out. The hard task we have is to implement a communist reality within the American historical context. That’s certainly not easy, but also not impossible.

Another thing that really stood out to me was Rodney’s strong criticism of “riding the line” He used the example of Senegal under Leopold Senghor - a man that decided the economy into three sectors (foreign, joint ownership, and a fully publicly owned sector). This is not communism and cannot even approximate communism because it still operates within and benefits from the white supremacist heteronormative ableist capitalist system. While when we try to play the world game, we do exactly what we are trying to avoid. To build something that genuinely functions as a communist society, we need to move past any dependence on capitalism in any form. In order to decolonize our societies, we need to move past any dependence on capitalism in any form.

I’ve had a realization similar in my own journey with theory which is as ive become more political i’ve given less of a shit about party politics. The movement is really happening on the ground in community building and what we are doing for each other. It’s also about making this theory more accessible (another criticism of Marx and stuffy old european men who can go fuck themselves). I just moved back to the US from spain and i was really weirded out by their government. They have a thriving communist party in the government. This was weird because communism is super persecuted in the US and is literally a prohibiting factor to enter the US as an immigrant and i had a very american perspective that governments everywhere felt that way BUT also. While spain is a relatively left ish country, it still participates in this colonial capitalist society. To me, it feels like a waste of time to send communists to work in the government when they could be directly helping people. Changing the working hours from 40 to 37 a week is great but if you believe in the fall of capitalism there’s more to do than that. Let the government fall into disarray around you and don’t lose sight of the goal with the piece of candy capitalism places in your mouth every once and awhile. We want to exist outside of it, not within it.
