!! DRUMINDOR SPOILERS IN TEXT AND TAGS !!
Listening to Drumnidor as a Hadrian girlie is not easy. My god they're assassinating his entire character and taking away his life purpose right in front of us! They're reducing him to a stupid comic relief character with no depth and no real influence on the people around him (to a greater degree than they ever did before) and they're taking away all his greatest achievements and attributing them to someone else to fit the plot! His main character status has been revoked and he's now apparently merely a supporting character in someone else's story. Please, everyone, a moment of silence for my blorbo šŸ˜”šŸ™ Rest in peace mr. Blackwater. At least they let you pull some impressive-arse sword moves, you looked really cool... but I am so sorry they did not let you be a practising hoe in this one šŸ„€

Oh yes the hoteps, how the fuck they got together? And why their main base is in Chicago?! Is there a certain kool aid I donā€™t know about
Also about my ancestry, the thing is I may visit Nigeria if a close friend from they want to come or like for research.
I mean in my black oriented stories, I was slams a hammer so hard in the audience head pointing out the black Americans would see the native Africans as foreigners
Also make passive aggressive comments on the Dahomey.
Actuallyā€¦I wonder if I could like every talk to a African and expose how bad our education system is telling the us the whole story about the Africa slave kingdoms
I imagine they would have downright shocked that black Americans of all people never learn about the Dahomey until the first women king trailer
Like to me, sorry not taking away the Jewish people struggles, just showing how bad my community knowledge is to our ancestry. Is like a Jewish person never taught what Emperor Hadrian did to ancient Israel.
Then how just about how people like you reveal we did the genetic history of black Americans ancestors with enslaved ancestry and parts weā€™re from
Why isnā€™t taught, a huge identity crisis among my community id that we were taught that our pre American ancestors were only slaves.
Of course we arenā€™t part of those tribes but give us better state of mindā€¦ish
But one thing
Me: So you bitch about the war on drugs and militarization of police the elites did?
Black activists: yep
Me: Had it ever occurred to you that we are taughted a sanitized version of the African slave trade all the way to college while we get hit with the native atrocities and Japanese interment camps stuff in middle school. And how antagonistic we are on average towards African immigrants because we act like toddlers?
BA: nope
Good why am I doing research about our main ancestors more than you
Oh yeah the root thing
https://x.com/copicsquiddo/status/1392364456127221761?s=46
You know with the whole decolonization talks, I notice that the left intentionally leave out black Americans because at the end of the day we are the irreversible result of colonizationā€¦unless the left have this dumbass option that modern Yoruba culture is the same as my ancestors were part of-oh my god
So yeah weā€™re rootless, to where we only have middle upper class people povs of Africa until the 60ā€™s
Also this idea that black people cant cruel as our white slave owners? Oh yeah that never-
*Phone call from the afterlife*
Hello? Oh it Maya Angelou, pointing out that she was RAPED by her momā€™s boyfriend as a child and why she was muted for a few years. OW! Oh it Micheal Jackson hitting that high note point out how much of a pos his father was to him and his siblings
Remember that Jackson 5 mini series where they point out the dad was abusive as hell
Got a feel mj and the others did ā€œuncreditedā€ consultants on that series
I heard that mj dad didnā€™t even GRIEVE or act sad his fucking son was dead. My god, actually I was checking Paris Jackson, she was on an Amazon show called the Swarm where she said her was culturally black. Swarm centered around a serial killer obsessed with a beyonce stand in.
So have the daughter of a man who finger twitch at concert made people faint. Is a good reference
But I read up that MJ mom tried to funraise a documentary after her son deathā€¦holy fuck is the MJ we know is a least terrible result of the household he was in?
Um oh yeah, *phone rings* oh Tyler Perry, orphan (wait she was and tp were basically Judas for their higher ups), children of the welfare queens and abusive inner cities parents pointing out the hell they went through
Okay Iā€™m talking about child abuse, but I notice when white, Asian, and Latinos point out their parents and elders shitty actions they are supported
But when black Americans points out that a lot of our parents beat us harder than overseers did to other field ancestors. We need to treat them with kids gloves
Of course not all and we do point out this shit. We need to treat these abusive tactics with kids gloves
ā€œSlavery, racism, and systematic oppression is why!ā€
Hmmm, why I donā€™t see Mexicans, Indians, Argentinians, Chinese, Vietnamese, Native Americans, giving their elders who often went through hell too. The same execuses?
Oh yes the hoteps, how the fuck they got together? And why their main base is in Chicago?! Is there a certain kool aid I donā€™t know about
Splinter from nation of islam, or something like that is my guess. Nailed it
I mean in my black oriented stories, I was slams a hammer so hard in the audience head pointing out the black Americans would see the native Africans as foreigners Also make passive aggressive comments on the Dahomey.
To them here they would be, just like the other way around would work the same, and far more than passive aggressive, but they earned it.
Prev bit and Like to me, sorry not taking away the Jewish people struggles, just showing how bad my community knowledge is to our ancestry. Is like a Jewish person never taught what Emperor Hadrian did to ancient Israel.
I wonder where "ancient" stops applying, that one happened well after Jesus
anĀ·cient ADJECTIVE
belonging to the very distant past and no longer in existence: "the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean"
Suppose that works, nice and vague too. Granted that one doesn't turn up in Christianity so it's not too well known outside of Jewish circles, but they do their own schooling too, pretty much no matter where they are they have 'Jewish School' identity is important to them and all their holy days are confusing to a outsider.
There's a handy chart for us gentiles
Admittedly black Americans were not given the chance to do the same, there was "africatown" technically Plateau, Alabama where former slaves that still remembered home could go to escape Americans, not just white people.
Prev bit+ Of course we arenā€™t part of those tribes but give us better state of mindā€¦ish
Absolutly be good to learn, sadly the nature of how so many got here y'all are likely to be in the same boat as so many of the rest of us are there, we're all mutts, I'm a european one they'd be african. Might explain some of the pan african stuff honestly, with DNA tests now you can pinpoint though just make sure the company isn't one that will sell your info to the cops or anyone else.
Me: So you bitch about the war on drugs and militarization of police the elites did? Black activists: yep Cont:
It's gonna start sinking in soon enough I think, the information is there and people know where to look now so there will be some folks that are not in the mood to be berated anymore that will begin the education process.
My guess at least.
Tumblr media
This sounds familiar, can't just blame white people for that tho, also lots of the kingdoms and what not that did the selling and being sold don't exist anymore, makes it even harder.
Prev and I heard that mj dad didnā€™t even GRIEVE or act sad his fucking son was dead. My god, actually I was checking Paris Jackson, she was on an Amazon show called the Swarm where she said her was culturally black. Swarm centered around a serial killer obsessed with a beyonce stand in.
joe jackson that was bad ya, same with mya angelou, Tina Turner, and several other people through history, folks need to give up on the race dynamic parts of abuse and just focus on how to help people heal,
Blaming the actual abuser instead of some nebulous concept would be good too. Nice to give the bad guy a name, even if it's Joseph.
Okay Iā€™m talking about child abuse, but I notice when white, Asian, and Latinos point out their parents and elders shitty actions they are supported But when black Americans points out that a lot of our parents beat us harder than overseers did to other field ancestors.

Overseers knew better than to beat the tractor with a baseball bat, one of those things that changed with slavery being abolished is working conditions could actually get worse.
Coal miner talking about the boss telling him to be sure and get the mule out if there's a cave in,
'what about me and the men boss'
'I can hire more men, gotta buy the mule'
ā€œSlavery, racism, and systematic oppression is why!ā€ Hmmm, why I donā€™t see Mexicans, Indians, Argentinians, Chinese, Vietnamese, Native Americans, giving their elders who often went through hell too. The same execuses?
there's a reason it changed to bipoc from just poc while the lgbt alphabet soup keeps getting longer and more inclusive.
