Yes, exactly. I just have 3 things to say to those people:
1. Decolonise your mind.
2. The West is not our centre.
3. Being chart-obsessed instead of appreciating the art is a by-product of capitalism.
do you realise how crazy you sound especially as a South African, being upset that Tyla (a South African) only has South African features on her album?
Iโm at that weird age where every younger person I meet makes me realize how much l've aged, and every older person I meet makes me realize I'm still a baby.
iโve never understood the โmen are the heads of the householdโ rhetoric when so many african households have been carried by women for generations. women are the ones making the home function, raising the children, managing the finances and holding everything together.
Tribalism against Tsonga and Venda people is treated the same way white people treat racism. It seems like weโre being dramatic when we speak about it, like itโs non existent while we are living in the reality of it every day.
They call foreigners amakwerekwere.
They call queer people izitabane.
The list of derogatory terms for South African women is endless.
They have a term for everyone they see as lesser than, and they will be coming for all of us at some point.
for me, it was a realisation.
i had already survived every man i was convinced i wouldnโt survive. every relationship that felt like my entire world, i got through it. i was fine.
then i built my world around someone new, and that ended too, and i was fine again.
and eventually something clicked like, there will always be another man willing to become my whole world if i let him. which means the scarcity i kept feeling was never real. i manufactured it every time by treating each one like he was the last.
so i realised, you donโt decenter men by deciding theyโre not worth it. you decenter them the moment you realise you were always going to be okay without them. and thatโs the point i reached.
I also find it so odd when people want to try and lie to a spiritually gifted person , like for real? We see stuff before it even happens guys cmon๐คฃ
