The thing that annoys me about the xenophobia/afrophobia chats is that they call us coons but when they get here, they don't join us in our struggles against white economic domination. They don't believe in our hard fought labour laws or the right to black dignity. They're willing to take whatever job they can get for whatever pay and live in whatever conditions because they aren't "lazy" like us. They don't even push back against this "lazy" label we are given. They reinforce the idea that workers should be grateful for whatever they get regardless of the exploitation happening. Do they not see how this undermines the existence of black people in this country? It's reinforcing this idea in employers' heads that there's nothing wrong with exploitation, the locals are just "lazy". But I guess since this isn't their home, they don't care what state they leave it in?
extremely interesting coincidence that both SA & Ireland are loudly anti-israeli imperialism and are now getting that reputation besmirched by being rampantly xenophobic/afrophobic. just a coincidence tho nothing deeper at play...

By all means, have Principles and Standards.
They are the most talented and hardworking people on the continent yet their own countries are still struggling with the very problems they are supposedly too brilliant to solve? Niyahlekisa😂.
Africa’s ruling class isn’t a fully independent bourgeoisie, they’re intermediaries.
They manage extraction on behalf of foreign capital in exchange for personal accumulation
