People should probably spend some time on Chinese social media when talking about the Natasha Doll issue, because the last couple of weeks’ worth of discourse on WeChat and Rednote have mostly been horrified parents demanding the toy be banned and the manufacturer prosecuted
My thing is with the signifier dude speaking as some kind of authority with no resume or credentials.
And then there’s that white lady and these decolonial people who stole from me and created their own conference last year. One of them went on Jared ball show and said counterinsurgency was a form of literary criticism….when I brought attention to this lady’s lack of expertise, he told me I was a liar and blocked me lol 😂
The amount of pigs I've seen with this weird fantasy of Chinese imperialism in Africa. Not only do the chinese get done dirty in Africa constantly, they literally ran away when they had to face African rebels lmao.
@IAmDouglasKim@dom_lucre Found the original video. They actually had a good time together, also with the parents together. And she also responded to the deceptive editing: It's malicious editing and taking things out of context, in an attempt to stir up racial antagonism.
Ngl what bothers me about you niggas is that y’all always forget other races being racist & reset your minds.
It will always be the same shit happening and y’all would still be acting like naive children who crave acceptance as if their sentiments are not crystal clear.
Same thing with China and the USA today.
In China, libraries are STACKED with books by US scientists, philosophers, academics.
In the US you'll hardly find a single book written by a Chinese person (unless they are a "dissident")
When people point things like this out do they not realize how bad of a look it is for the host nation?
You're saying far more to me about Nigeria as a nation if that business was allowed to operate than anything else.
A Chinese company literally came to Nigeria snd built a supermarket and said Nigerians/Black ppl weren’t allowed
But sure it’s CIA fault the Chinese are racists it’s never y’all faults
It really do be the New Blacks who get upset the rest of us don’t like New Black media as a lot of it is just not good, lacks creativity, and is extremely patronizing. Then they think some of us only want to see negative stereotypes. It just lacks sauce and that natural it factor
The Kingdom of Benin was casting brass sculptures using the lost-wax technique before the 13th century.
In 1897, British soldiers raided Benin City and took thousands of them. When the sculptures reached Europe, many refused to believe Africans had made them. They credited the Portuguese. They credited ancient Egypt.
Felix von Luschan, curator at Berlin’s Ethnological Museum, later wrote that the works stood among the highest heights of European casting. He meant it as a compliment. He did not realize it was a confession.
Most of those sculptures are still in European museums today.
I agree. But something I notice with these types is that they’d rather co-opt an analysis of counterinsurgency than engage the ideas BMS has put forward. They will wait for someone else to say something similar then they’ll engage them in good faith or they’ll just steal it and act like it’s organic. Many don’t want to really study these things in a way that challenges what they think they know about race and gender.
The people in the chat were showing their hands. They kept bringing up and making a contrast between Orisamni Burton and Curry. But when you read Burton, he cites Curry and says the same thing about black feminist theory and shows the claim black men imitate white patriarchy is false.
This is how these people think. Either you fit with their ism or you don’t. If you do, what you do is good. If you don’t, what you do is bad. Oh well..
One of the major similarities between the Marines and philosophy is the outright bias against black men thinking outside of the boundaries that people feel comfortable with. As a Marine, you’re not supposed to think; just obey orders and physically perform. As a philosopher, you’re never supposed to go against the dominant isms. Just head nod and agree to whatever bullshit these people say.
This is insane. People try to make you feel crazy for focusing research on Black men and boys, but examples like this always remind why Black Male Studies is needed. This is a whole professor of sociology publicly defaming Black men. As an up and coming scholar, I have to move through the university knowing people carry disdain towards me simply for existing as a (straight) Black male, and that the hate will come strongest from other Black scholars seeking head pats from white liberals. This is the state of the American academy.
