#End White Supremacy

[tim4reparations]

[afriblaq]

Did you know that white people make up only 7% of the global population? This thought-provoking question was raised by Yaya, a biracial woman, in a viral social media video. She shared her surprise that so many people, herself included, were unaware of this fact. Yaya reflected on how such a small percentage holds disproportionate global influence, stressing that white supremacy persists not because the numbers support it, but because it is actively allowed. Her video sparked widespread conversations about power, privilege, and representation. If Black people are the global majority, how can African people, both on the continent and in the diaspora, unite to dismantle white supremacy and build a more equitable future?

It’s okay to stutter. There is nothing wrong with stuttering. You can stutter and that’s okay. It’s not wrong, it’s not bad. It’s not unnecessary, it’s a natural part of life, it’s involuntary and that’s okay.

Yes, stutter. Yes, you can stutter. Do stutter. Anything saying otherwise is a lie and wrong. Anything saying or even implying that “stuttering is bad” or that “you’re not allowed to stutter”, is ableist. It’s lies, fake, untrue. It’s ableism. Which is wrong.

You don’t have to conform. You don’t have to do anything. You don’t have to look like a robot, you don’t have to act like a robot. Even A.I. stutters. It’s natural and there’s nothing wrong nor “undesirable” about it.

Yes, it might be inconvenient, but it’s not bad for that reason. Inconvenience is a part of life. Nothing wrong with inconvenience. Nothing wrong with taking your time [to speak]. Nothing wrong with stuttering.

You can inconvenience people (in the sense, that it’s okay and there’s nothing wrong nor bad about it). Do inconveniences. The reason they’re looked down upon is because they challenge the systems, specifically capitalism, but all the other ones as well too.

You have time. Everyone has the time to listen to you, speak and stutter. You have the time to stutter. And that’s okay.

It’s okay to take up space. It’s okay to take up time. It’s okay to take up noise space. It’s okay to take up noise space, space and time. It’s okay to take up space in other people’s minds, thoughts and feelings. There’s nothing wrong with taking up any kind of space. You are not an inconvenience. You’re not an inconvenience, nobody is, no one is, not you, not user, not us. You are enough as you are. You are whole. You are worthful.

It’s alright and fine to stutter. Your feelings are valid and okay too. I know it’s hard, I know the systems, which are reproduced into society and by people, are insidious and attack everyone saying that “it’s this”, “it’s that”, and blah blah blah. We know they make us feel like and think that it’s bad, like it’s wrong, they make us feel mad, sad and other negative emotions for not conforming, and those emotions and feelings are valid. There’s nothing wrong with them. They’re real and true. 💙💙 So yes, do stutter 💙

Scientists have discovered a tiny genetic mutation that largely explains the first appearance of white skin in humans tens of thousands of years ago. Whites with northern and western European ancestry have a mutated version of the gene. Skin color is a reflection of the amount and distribution of the pigment melanin. Humans of European ancestry bear a slightly different mutation that hobbles the same protein with similar effect. A few genes have previously been associated with human pigment disorders -- most notably those that, when mutated, lead to albinism, an extreme form of pigment loss. But the newly found glitch is the first found to play a role in the formation of 'normal' white skin. Although precise dating is impossible, several scientists speculated on the basis of its spread and variation that the mutation arose between 20,000 and 50,000 years ago. That would be consistent with research showing that a wave of ancestral humans migrated northward and eastward out of Africa about 50,000 years ago.

This black warehouse is a brand new ICE detention camp just erected just 20 minutes north of Austin, TX. I'm sharing the video so you can get a sense of its scale. Calling the detention camps "camps" and not "centers" because they are destabilizing, not centering. (Also: its rapid construction proves that the US could build shelters to house and feed to every houseless person in this nation in just a few weeks. And no, we don’t want the filthy paws of private prison owners in our shelters. Neither do we want them on our immigrant siblings or our incarcerated siblings. But I do notice the federal capacity this reveals.) NOTE: This video was removed from Fb and from the 20 shares from my page, within 10 hours. Please share widely! 2*O*20*O Algreg St., Pflugerville TX

Afro-German Identity and the Struggle for Racial Equality: A Garveyite Perspective

The Afro-German identity exists within a historical and social framework shaped by German colonialism, anti-Black racism, and systemic exclusion. Despite their presence in Germany for centuries, Afro-Germans have been subjected to erasure, discrimination, and racial violence, often being treated as foreigners in a land they call home. From a Garveyite perspective, the struggles of Afro-Germans are not isolated incidents of racism but part of a larger global system of white supremacy and European neo-colonialism, designed to keep Black people divided, disempowered, and dependent on white nations.

Marcus Garvey’s philosophy teaches that Black people can never achieve full liberation within white-dominated societies and must instead focus on Pan-African unity, economic self-determination, and cultural restoration. A Garveyite analysis of Afro-German identity reveals that integration into German society will never provide true freedom—instead, the solution lies in Black empowerment, African reconnection, and global solidarity with the African diaspora.

1. The Origins of Afro-German Identity: Colonialism, War, and Erasure

Germany’s engagement with Africa began with its colonial expansion in the late 19th century, during which it controlled Namibia, Tanzania, Togo, and Cameroon. This history of exploitation laid the foundation for Germany’s treatment of Black people, reinforcing the belief that Africans were subjects, not citizens.

A. German Colonialism and the First Genocide of the 20th Century

The Herero and Nama Genocide (1904–1908) in present-day Namibia was Germany’s first large-scale crime against humanity.

German forces exterminated over 80,000 Herero and Nama people, marking one of the earliest recorded genocides in modern history.

Africans were placed in concentration camps, subjected to forced labor, medical experiments, and mass executions.

The racial ideology used to justify these atrocities later influenced Nazi racial theories, showing that European anti-Blackness and anti-Semitism were deeply interconnected.

Example: Germany only formally acknowledged the genocide in 2021, but has refused to pay reparations—just as other European nations continue to exploit Africa without accountability.

Key Takeaway: Germany’s colonial crimes are directly linked to its ongoing racism against Black people. Without historical justice, true equality is impossible.

B. The Forgotten Afro-Germans of the Early 20th Century

Afro-Germans have existed in Germany for over a century, but their history has been systematically erased.

Many Afro-Germans were the children of African soldiers from Germany’s colonies or African-American soldiers stationed in Germany after WWI and WWII.

They were denied German citizenship, segregated, and treated as “racially impure.”

During the Nazi era, Afro-Germans were sterilized, imprisoned, or killed under Hitler’s racial policies.

Example: The Afro-German Holocaust victims remain largely ignored in mainstream German history, despite their suffering under Nazi racial laws.

Key Takeaway: Afro-Germans were never meant to be part of the German national identity. They were always treated as temporary, unwanted, and disposable.

2. The Post-War Period: Neo-Colonial Racism and Systemic Exclusion

After World War II, Afro-Germans faced a new era of racism and marginalization. The German government, despite its efforts to address Holocaust crimes, never fully confronted its anti-Black history.

A. The “Brown Babies” of Post-WWII Germany

Thousands of Afro-German children were born to white German mothers and Black American soldiers after WWII.

They were seen as a “problem” for German racial purity and were either adopted out to the U.S. or raised in isolation, facing discrimination at every turn.

Many were denied citizenship and struggled with identity, being neither fully accepted in Germany nor the U.S.

Example: German authorities promoted the forced adoption of Afro-German children to America, reinforcing the idea that Blackness did not belong in Germany.

Key Takeaway: Afro-Germans have always been treated as foreigners, even when they are born in Germany.

B. The Myth of a “Post-Racial” Germany

Germany promotes itself as a nation that has reckoned with its racist past, yet Afro-Germans continue to experience:

Institutional racism in education, employment, and housing.

Police brutality and racial profiling, with Black people disproportionately targeted by law enforcement.

Erasure from mainstream German history and culture, with Black contributions ignored in national narratives.

Example: The 2020 Black Lives Matter protests exposed the deep racial inequalities in Germany, yet German officials dismissed anti-Black racism as an “American problem.”

Key Takeaway: Germany pretends to be progressive, but it still refuses to fully acknowledge and address its anti-Black history and present.

3. The Garveyite Solution: Afro-Germans Must Reject Assimilation and Build Global Black Power

From a Garveyite perspective, Afro-Germans must stop seeking inclusion in a system that was never designed to protect or empower them. Instead, they must focus on:

A. Embracing Pan-Africanism Over European Identity

Germany will never fully accept Black people, no matter how “integrated” they become.

Afro-Germans must see themselves as part of the African diaspora, not just as Germans.

The key to liberation is building connections with Africa and the broader Black world.

Example: Marcus Garvey’s vision of Africa for Africans teaches that Black people must invest in their own futures, not seek white validation.

B. Economic Self-Sufficiency and Rejection of German Dependence

Black people in Germany must support Black-owned businesses and invest in African economies.

Germany still profits from African resources through economic neo-colonialism—Afro-Germans must challenge this exploitation.

Building independent financial institutions and Pan-African trade networks is key to self-determination.

Example: The CFA franc, controlled by France, still enslaves African economies—similar systems of economic control exist in Germany’s relations with Africa.

C. Reclaiming African Culture and History

Afro-Germans must teach their children true African history, not just European narratives.

The German education system erases African contributions—Black communities must establish independent schools and cultural centres.

Language is power—Afro-Germans must reclaim African languages and reject the idea that speaking perfect German equals intelligence.

Example: Garvey emphasized that Black people must control their own education, rather than relying on white institutions that distort history.

Key Takeaway: Assimilation into white society is not liberation—true freedom comes from reclaiming African identity and power.

4. The Future of Afro-German Identity: Resistance, Not Submission

Afro-Germans are at a crossroads:

Continue seeking inclusion in a system designed to exclude them?

Or build power outside of it, aligning with Africa and the global Black struggle?

Marcus Garvey’s teachings remind us that Black people will never be truly free within white societies. The only way forward is through Pan-African unity, economic independence, and cultural reclamation. Afro-Germans must:

Reject white validation and embrace African identity.

Invest in Black economies, not European ones.

Connect with global Black movements fighting for justice.

Only through self-determination and collective strength can Afro-Germans break free from their colonial chains and forge a future on their own terms.

Black people do not need white acceptance—Black people need Black power.

"Biden is a genocidal asshole, but it doesn't matter."

It's like the Titanic already hit the ice berg and you are all talking about what is going to be served for dinner tomorrow night on the ship.

You are in a cult. If you are going to vote for Biden, if you think there is any way forward for humanity where the united states government continues to exist, you are literally brainwashed.

I understand now there's no getting through to you. But we are all stuck on this sinking ship with your hopelessly ignorant asses because you are literally refusing to allow anyone access to the lifeboats that would save us, because then you'd have to acknowledge the ship we are all on is sinking.

You are going to die to fascism and climate change because you will not stand up against a corrupt system that has you convinced you need permission to put a roof over someone's head, permission to plant a seed, permission to take or make medicine, but it would be unreasonable to restrict peoples access to guns or refuse to support someone stealing your money to kill children.

Really, really pathetic.

Let’s stop calling socio-political issues, systems, systems of oppression, power and harm, beliefs. They are not beliefs. They do not define anyone and they are not a part of anyone’s identity. We’ve all been brainwashed at the end of the day, and knowing you were, doesn’t make you better, more worthy, truer nor is it a part of who you are nor your identity. It’s false that systems of oppression (white supremacy, racism, ableism, genderism, sexism, classism, sizeism, elitism, ageism, sexualitism, etc.) are beliefs. You are not defined by your knowledge about those things, you are not defined by how much you educate yourself, you are not defined by what you know is wrong nor by those systems. Systems are simply not a part of anyone, they aren’t. You aren’t them, you never were and never will be. Believing a bunch of ableist things and that it’s okay, isn’t “being ableist”, it’s having internalized ableism, a system of oppression linked to every other one, it’s having been brainwashed to the point that you think that, but it still doesn’t define you. Same thing with knowing that ableism is wrong, recognizing ableism, it doesn’t define you, it’s not a part of who you are and it doesn’t make you any better. Let’s stop defining people by those systems, because it’s white supremacy, wrong and simply not okay and false. Nobody is inherently anything, nobody was born to not care, nobody was born believing in those things, they were all taught. People are taught to equate their worth with what they believe in, with the systems of oppression they have internalized and been victims of, people are taught not to care. Everyone can learn, whatever their age, however much of the disgusting systems of oppression they have internalized, everyone can learn and unlearn. Everyone. Even the most right wing folks can. Even the ones who refuse to listen, even the ones who say they don’t care. They were taught to refuse to listen, they were taught not to care. They were taught lies, but that doesn’t make them liars, however much lies they might be saying and spreading. I’m not saying that it’s okay, I’m not defending this, I’m defending the people, not the systems. The systems are still very wrong, oppressive and harmful, but systems and people are not the same thing. Beliefs are personal things, not systems of oppression you have internalized. You are worthy, you are enough, you are worthful. You always were worthy, you always were enough, you always were worthful. You are simply not your actions, you are not your inactions, you are not your mistakes. Your actions and inactions are not you. You are not your knowledge and your worth isn’t defined by your knowledge. 🩵💙

Burkina Faso's Bold Move To Pay Off Debt

In 2024, Burkina Faso made a major stride in its pursuit of financial independence by repaying 3,000 billion FCFA (around $4.79 billion) of its domestic debt. While this marks a significant achievement for the country, it doesn't erase all of its financial obligations. As of the end of 2023, Burkina Faso's public debt was 55.6% of GDP, with expectations to rise to 57.2% in 2024.

Despite still holding over $1.99 billion in outstanding bonds, President Traore is pushing for greater economic sovereignty. By rejecting financial assistance from the IMF, Burkina Faso is taking bold steps towards reducing its reliance on external creditors, prioritizing self-reliance over foreign intervention.

This development underscores the ongoing challenges and aspirations for economic independence in Africa.
