I saw a IG post where an elder was staying that we need to put up a maroon/ purple flag outside so the hurricane would bypass our homes… a day later… we were gifted some purple orchids… we put them in the window… we were NOT affected by the hurricane 🙏🏿💜🙏🏿

I honestly do not know if this is Hoodoo or ATR… but it worked💋

I feal like a lot of Amarkkkan progressives forget or more accurately ignore the fact that the Black Planters where explicitly Marxist Leninists and called for the violent overthrow of the US state and end of the Amarikkkan nation. They are interested in appropriating the image of the black panthers as some cool, civil rights, charity group/mutual aid org. At most acknowledging that they where "socialist" (what does that even mean). I know multiple (mostly white) people who are enthusiastically anticommunist, ready to tell lies to demonize the USSR, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, etc. at the drop of a hat, but hang the symbols of Black Maoists on their walls without a second thought. That is very duplicitous and needs to be called out.

Algerian Boxing Champion Imane Khelif 🥇 Honoured with Hero's Welcome in Hometown after Paris Olympics Triumph 🥊

lympic gold medalist Imane Khelif 🥇 was greeted with immense admiration and celebration 🎉 upon her return to her hometown in Algeria. The boxing star 🥊, who recently clinched gold at the Paris Olympics, was treated with the highest regard, particularly in Tiaret, the rural region where she was raised and trained 🌍.

Khelif was showered with flowers 💐 and honored with framed certificates 🖼️ at the city's municipal offices, symbolizing the pride she has brought to the nation. "Algerians deserve joy and reasons to celebrate 🎊, and I hope we can continue giving them more moments of happiness," Khelif remarked.

During the Olympics, Khelif became the center of international attention 🌐 and debate, with her gender coming under unwarranted scrutiny. Despite her clear identity as a woman 🚺, she was subjected to misleading and unfounded eligibility tests by the now-defunct International Boxing Association in 2023. High-profile figures like Elon Musk, J.K. Rowling, and former U.S. President Donald Trump exacerbated the controversy with comments questioning her gender, which Algerians viewed as an affront to their national pride.

On Friday, the residents of Tiaret reflected on the challenges Khelif faced 🛤️ and expressed hopes for her continued success 🌟. Meanwhile, Khelif has taken legal action ⚖️ in Paris against several prominent individuals, including Musk and Rowling, for their roles in perpetuating false claims about her gender.

This article is from 2022, but it came up in the context of Palestine:

Here are some striking passages, relevant to all colonial aftermaths but certainly also to the forms we see Zionist reaction taking at the moment:

Over the decade I lived in South Africa, I became fascinated by this white minority [i.e. the whole white population post-apartheid as a minority in the country], particularly its members who considered themselves progressive. They reminded me of my liberal peers in America, who had an apparently self-assured enthusiasm about the coming of a so-called majority-minority nation. As with white South Africans who had celebrated the end of apartheid, their enthusiasm often belied, just beneath the surface, a striking degree of fear, bewilderment, disillusionment, and dread.

[...]

Yet these progressives’ response to the end of apartheid was ambivalent. Contemplating South Africa after apartheid, an Economist correspondent observed that “the lives of many whites exude sadness.” The phenomenon perplexed him. In so many ways, white life remained more or less untouched, or had even improved. Despite apartheid’s horrors—and the regime’s violence against those who worked to dismantle it—the ANC encouraged an attitude of forgiveness. It left statues of Afrikaner heroes standing and helped institute the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which granted amnesty to some perpetrators of apartheid-era political crimes.

But as time wore on, even wealthy white South Africans began to radiate a degree of fear and frustration that did not match any simple economic analysis of their situation. A startling number of formerly anti-apartheid white people began to voice bitter criticisms of post-apartheid society. An Afrikaner poet who did prison time under apartheid for aiding the Black-liberation cause wrote an essay denouncing the new Black-led country as “a sewer of betrayed expectations and thievery, fear and unbridled greed.”

What accounted for this disillusionment? Many white South Africans told me that Black forgiveness felt like a slap on the face. By not acting toward you as you acted toward us, we’re showing you up, white South Africans seemed to hear. You’ll owe us a debt of gratitude forever.

The article goes on to discuss:

"Mau Mau anxiety," or the fear among whites of violent repercussions, and how this shows up in reported vs confirmed crime stats - possibly to the point of false memories of home invasion

A sense of irrelevance and alienation among this white population, leading to another anxiety: "do we still belong here?"

The sublimation of this anxiety into self-identification as a marginalized minority group, featuring such incredible statements as "I wanted to fight for Afrikaners, but I came to think of myself as a ‘liberal internationalist,’ not a white racist...I found such inspiration from the struggles of the Catalonians and the Basques. Even Tibet" and "[Martin Luther] King [Jr.] also fought for a people without much political representation … That’s why I consider him one of my most important forebears and heroes,” from a self-declared liberal environmentalist who also thinks Afrikaaners should take back government control because they are "naturally good" at governance

Some discussion of the dynamics underlying these reactions, particularly the fact that "admitting past sins seem[ed] to become harder even as they receded into history," and US parallels

And finally, in closing:

The Afrikaner journalist Rian Malan, who opposed apartheid, has written that, by most measures, its aftermath went better than almost any white person could have imagined. But, as with most white progressives, his experience of post-1994 South Africa has been complicated. [...]

He just couldn’t forgive Black people for forgiving him. Paradoxically, being left undisturbed served as an ever-present reminder of his guilt, of how wrongly he had treated his maid and other Black people under apartheid. “The Bible was right about a thing or two,” he wrote. “It is infinitely worse to receive than to give, especially if … the gift is mercy.”

And people keep trying to justify Israel's existence on the basis that it is somehow a safe place for the preservation of Jewish people and their culture and not only is that an awful argument for establishing a Settler Colonist Apartheid State but it's not even true. Like the state is politically and economically dominated by Ashkenazi Jews from Northern Europe and their descendants. While not as severely mistreated as Palestinians, there is still a significant disparity between the European and Non-European Jews in terms of income and education. Non-European Jews are still regularly subject to interpersonal bigotry (hell earlier this year there was a news story about a viral video where Ashkenazi girls in a Purim made a skit mocking the Mizrahi) and Israel government policies towards non-Ashkenazi migrants have done severe damage to their social structure and cultural traditions. Not to mention the fact that the whole reason why many Mizrahi migrated in the first place was to escape the violence caused by European Jews committing atrocities in their name, tearing communities apart as neighbours that had peacefully co-existed for centuries found themselves on opposite sides of this new ethno-religious conflict

There have even been attempts in Israeli history at the forceful assimilation or even biological reduction of non-European Jews; the kidnapping and adoption of Yemeni Jewish children in the 1950s is significant example of the former while the forced contraception of Beta Israeli (Ethiopean Jewish migrants) with the explicit intention of reducing their population's birth rate is an example of the latter. There's also very clear favouritism when it comes to recent converts; white Afrikaner converts are given the right of Aliyah while Nigerian Igbos are not. Like the fact of the matter is that Israel's fundamental nature is as a European Settler Colony, incredibly racist not only towards the indigenous Palestinians but the many Non-European Jews it claims to represent. It's an outpost of Western Imperialism, not a haven for the Jewish people. If it was ever meant to be the latter than it has failed miserably
