CINDY NGAMBA // BOXER

“She is a Cameroonian boxer who competed for the EOC Refugee Team at the 2023 European Games. She is the first-ever medalist for the Refugee Olympic Team, having won bronze in women's 75 kg boxing at the 2024 Summer Olympics. She is also a lesbian, having come out at the age of 18, and as such, she is unable to return to Cameroon without risk of imprisonment, as homosexuality is illegal there.”

I'm unimpressed

Whenever any leftist interacts with me, it's always the same. They posture and laugh at me for being a conservative. They look down on me. They cite false statistics or allegations fed to them by propaganda networks. They exhibit arrogance, smug superiority and overwhelming condescension without any knowledge, understanding or moral fortitude to back it up. When everything else fails, they resort to the New Communist slogan of "racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic".

To which I respond: My best friends include a black man from Trinidad, a Latina woman who immigrated to the US at the age of five, a man with Aspergers and severe anxiety disorder, a black lesbian, an Indian South African, a Chinese American woman, an octogenarian gay man, a Cameroonian man and a Saudi Arabian man who describes himself as pansexual. And a whole bunch of really awesome white people who are not racist, sexist, homophobic or transphobic.

I'm gay. I voted for Trump because i don't believe the Democrats love me. I don't need them to love me. I don't want their love. They love sin and the embrace of dark triad behavior as their paragon for leadership skills, totalitarian thought control, the destruction of society, and they seek to make atheism the norm. They love the denigration of any individual that defies them, disagrees with their tactics, calls out their lies...they hate truthtellers. They hate anyone that places God as an imperative and sacred texts as crucial to their ethical conduct. They hate anyone that threatens their power and they believe in encouraging public vitriol to meet their needs. They believe in the destruction of the nuclear family. They encourage the worship of and dependence on the state to replace the family. They believe in a direct pipeline between the White House and newly established propaganda networks that cater only to the Democrat Party and the CIA. They believe in reputation destruction using those propaganda networks. They believe they have the right to assassinate Trump and anyone else who they deem a threat to their power. They have initiated the single worst attack on children in the history of our country via human trafficking and institutionalized rape ordered by the CIA. They normalized embezzlement, money laundering and inflationary tax on an unheard of scale to further demoralize the populace and inflate their own bank accounts. They conduct constant psychological war against their own people, which extends to perverting the minds of their children without their knowledge via the trans cult, the gender theory cult, and the DEI/Critical Race Theory cult.

On the issue of transphobia, I certainly don't endorse violence. But it is not violence to state that all trans people are mentally ill and they must be stopped from mutilation of children and sterilizing minors with puberty blockers, from demanding forced speech regarding their delusions, from using public funds to procure trans surgeries and from public attaining positions of power such as the Secretary of Health where they may spread their perverse cult directives causing psychological and physiological arm to adults and children alike.

They believe in these things because they want to secure a future for an elite minority that takes everything for itself, enslaves the rest of the populace, and convinces the populace that their astronomical greed is justifiable and that their destructive policies that result in totalitarian hell should be embraced as godly, necessary, and protective measures. They mockingly wear a mask of sympathy, compassion and the moniker of "social justice" which is nothing more than a code for "thought police" whose sole purpose is to implant hatred for political opponents and self hatred amongst whites, any minorities with religious sensibilities, and the intelligentia at large.

The future that they desire is a constant hell of pervasive misery and support of a one party state, supported by thoughtless government worship, slogan repetition, dehumanization of political opposition, desensitization to violence to meet the ends of the party's plans, mentacide, hatred of the past and all the accomplishments of Western Civilization, physical degradation and obesity from technological addiction and slow chemical poisoning from tainted food and lastly lowering testosterone via pbthalates.

I'm a gay white male and that doesn't play into my vote. It shouldn't. The body you're born with shouldn't determine your vote. Your party has done absolutely nothing for me. You have never done anything to help me. I am happy to fight you to the bitter end in any way I can to stop you from the communist genocide you so lovingly long for.

Here are my thoughts on Harry and Meghan's pseudo-royal tour. It's simply an ego tour. Being black and of Cameroonian origin but having 40% Nigeria like many because it was a vast kingdom.

Where was the history of Nigeria?

Why are soldiers injured? why we don't see Harry and Meghan wearing African designers (ah yes product placement)

Stop with these superlatives Nigeria fell in love with Harry and Meghan lol this obsession with being chosen by Africa as saviors or kings shows how uneducated they are and that their team is white!!!!

Taking selfies does not mean being adored or being better. It shows that in 2024 Harry and Meghan still don't understand the definition of being royal!!!!!

It was all about their ego...

In this little game they will lose in the medium term. Making countries black African and playing egotistical or talking about Diana as if Africa were staying in the 90s. Will turn against them. They are so obsessed with them and being in competition with the BRF (in their heads) they are going to look like walking idiots.

There are so many details that show that are lost.

I stop here.

Hello guys! I know you have already seen her reference sheet but this one is a pretty important post for me as I thought it was about time I dropped some info about her! This is going to be long! So if you are interested you can scroll aaaall the way down!

Here is a bit of "history" of myself, I've been working on Cherusa since 2022 (so I was around 14!) on Instagram and have had a massive improvement despite some big hate around that year that I've received by VERY suspicious people which attacks smelled like racism big time, but those only made me stronger and here I am! The reason I am so prepared is because I already have a fanbase and overall content, but I thought that posting on Tumblr would revive a spark of in me during a bit of a difficult time and it did‼️ the kindness I've received is greatly appreciated!💖

-------------------------------------------

But let's get started! First, I'll introduce you to her personality and backstory! All of the screens are from my toyhouse, I've made it look exactly like an official Wiki page of a DIU/JJBA canon character ‼️💗

Now let's get to her stand: Let's Groove

(yep! It's a reference to Earth Wind & Fire! I thought it would have been so cute to have a more obvious and prominent one next to Mikitaka👁️)

The image is Stand's "eyecatch" I've done completely from scratch! second image is a sketch in my artstyle! (You will definitely see more of it!) so that you get an idea of how the rest of the Stand's body looks like! It's kind of Mecha like on the ""shoes"""👁️

But hey! This isn't the end, unfortunately Tumblr has a limit of 10 images and I stillhave to introduce you to a lot more so make sure to refresh the page to see the next post containing more information😭 (such as character dynamics, trivia and other fun stuff!)

not what this article was about mostly but the bit about the camaroonian born director is one of the most insane takes on integrating into a nationality i've ever encountered;

"This notion has been integrated into Germany’s self-conception. To be German is to be a Täter, a perpetrator. But the crux of Germany’s national identity, its famed memory culture and the “overcoming of the past,” is, paradoxically, its relationships with Jews, the universal victims. Through empathizing with and supporting Jews, conveniently embodied in the state of Israel, Germans can expiate the evil inherent in being German, passed down from generation to generation as though it were in their blood. Jews become the bearers of an inherited virtue as victims.

Yet far from overcoming the past, this dynamic seems to demand its constant reenactment. Non-Germans can only become German by checking their own histories at the door. Minister of Culture Roth recently told the new Cameroonian-born director of a state cultural institution: “You have become part of the Täternation.” Cameroon was formerly a German colony.'

holy shit you guys, I'm so enchanted to have found this archival footage of Francis Bebey, legendary Cameroonian musicologist, author, philosopher and intellectual giant. His writing about the dignity, complexity, and history of African traditional instruments is incredible, and he is so warm and kind in this interview - he is just a joy to watch. (also you'll learn cool stuff about the hindewhu flute used by the BaBenzélé of the Central African Republic)

You can hear the instrument in action in this song, which is from the perspective of a BaBenzélé person scoffing at the men of the cities:

She was the first woman to head the U.N.'s Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) at the level of Under Secretary-General. Songwe currently serves as a non-resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution's Africa Growth Initiative.”

Guys, almost 80 million people worldwide speak French as a first language, and 194 million people speak it as a second language. Half of all french speakers in the world are from Africa. When you are making fun/jokingly hating on francophones, you are not just hitting Emmanuel Macron, you are also hitting random canadian meti speakers, cameroonians, vietnamese people, etc.

France has a history as a colonial language, but if you are making fun of it In English, (spanish dutch russian portugese the list goes on), you do not have a moral high ground.

Albert Roger Miller (born May 20, 1952) known as Roger Milla, is a Cameroonian former footballer who played as a forward. He was one of the first African players to be major stars on the international stage. He played in three World Cups for the Cameroon national team.

He achieved international stardom at 38 years old, an age at which most forwards have retired, by scoring four goals at the 1990 FIFA World Cup. He helped Cameroon become the first African team to reach the World Cup quarter-finals. He became the oldest goalscorer in World Cup history by scoring against Russia in the 1994 FIFA World Cup.

He is remembered for his trademark goal celebration of running to the corner flag and performing a dance. He has been recognized as a pioneer of the many unconventional and imaginative goal celebrations seen since then. He was named by Pelé in the FIFA 100 list of the world’s greatest living players. The Confederation of African Football named him the best African player in the previous 50 years. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Tottenham captain Son Heung-min and first-choice left-back Destiny Udogie were both left at home for the win over Ferencvaros due to their recent knocks, and the former is not expected to make the cut here, but Postecoglou has confirmed that Udogie ought to be fine.

Should Son miss out once more, Spurs fans will no doubt implore Postecoglou to start 17-year-old Mikey Moore over the wasteful Timo Werner after the teenager's bright performance in midweek, but their pleas will likely fall on deaf ears.

Two other attacking options - Wilson Odobert and Richarlison - are still out injured, and Dominic Solanke leads the Tottenham line after his first call-up to the senior England squad in seven years.

Radu Dragusin is also back from his Europa League ban, but Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven - who produced an exceptional solo run for an assist at Old Trafford - are immovable at the back.

As for Brighton, Hurzeler delivered a mixed fitness update on Friday morning, confirming that James Milner (thigh),��Brajan Gruda (unspecified), Joel Veltman (illness) and long-term absentee Solly March (knee) could all be in contention for Sunday's match.

However, there will still be no Joao Pedro (ankle), Matt O'Riley (ankle) or Jan Paul van Hecke (unspecified), while Simon Adingra is also touch-and-go but should only be on the bench at best.

Palmer was not the only player to make history at Stamford Bridge last weekend; 20-year-old Brighton midfielder Baleba became the youngest Cameroonian to score and assist in a Premier League match, and he will man the engine room with fellow protege Jack Hinshelwood once more.

Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:

Verbruggen; Veltman, Dunk, Igor, Estupinan; Enciso, Baleba, Hinshelwood; Rutter, Welbeck, Mitoma

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:

Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Werner

Not so easily swapped with and other thoughts on racebending

When it comes to racebending characters and the like, there are cases where they can’t be easily racebent. Consider how something like Death Note built on animism, as Japan is predominantly animist, that if you were to make all the characters Cameroonian you’d also have to change the underlying religious subtext as Cameroon has a substantial Christian population. You’d get Witch Note instead with Light and Misa using demonic familiars to get to where they are, committing acts of witchcraft so alarming that a detective like L is sent to investigate those cases. I have thoughts of racebending the Death Note characters, but transporting the characters to Cameroon involves adjusting them to its particular cultural and religious context.

A Mortal Kombat that’s actually made by Asians and Asian Americans would have a more intimate relationship with Asian cultures, histories and philosophies in a way regular Mortal Kombat would never have, it would also be a Mortal Kombat that’s much less orientalist as this would be built on the lived experiences of the programmers and game developers supposing if they’re actually Asian or Asian American themselves. The Superman stories, with its immigrant undertones, would turn out very differently if its creators were indigenous Americans. Turning Superman into somebody who’s indigenous American effectively undoes or cancels the character’s association with immigration, especially if you have entire communities indigenous to the Americas for centuries and even millennia.

I’m pretty much addressing stories and characters where they can’t be easily race-swapped due to the underlying cultural contexts they take place in, especially if it’s particular to certain communities and cultures that can’t be easily exported onto others. Then there are characters that are rarely ever racebent, not necessarily so much due to an intrinsic quality, but rather certain communities and people project a lot onto them. Racebending Felicity Smoak is far less common than racebending Jason Todd and Tim Drake, in part because so many white women project themselves onto her that makes racebending her usually unexplored in fandom. It would also make a canonically racebent Felicity even more controversial because they project a lot onto her.

Or for another matter, Superman, where there’s a tendency to uphold him and his cousin as white American in a way Pete Ross, Lana Lang, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen don’t get to be. They could easily be European immigrants and still be accepted as American, which is kind of racist not just to nonwhite immigrants but also to indigenous Americans themselves. And why reimagining Superman to be indigenous is practically impossible given the context and how white people project themselves a lot onto Superman and Supergirl. There was one Japanese American actor who played Superman before, but he’s the exception to the rule.

So in Superman’s case it’s a combination of something intrinsic to how he’s conceived that can’t be easily adapted to indigenous communities and also white people projecting a lot onto him, so sometimes certain characters can’t be easily racebent due to these two factors working together. It is possible but not particularly easy and smooth.
