Someone sneezed so I said bless you & then I sneezed literally a minute later & she didn’t say it back. Be careful out there guys there’s a lot of evil spirited people walking among us in society
I’m not impressed with these hearings where Republicans traipse some corrupt scumbag out and yell at him for three hours. Yeah, he’s a corrupt scumbag. I agree. So why isn’t he under arrest? Why isn’t he facing any real consequences? Why aren’t you actually doing anything?
As someone who was forced to get the Vax reluctantly due to a GOV job at the time. I completely understand them talking crap. The Vax crowd demonized everyone who didn’t take it back then. You don’t get to cry victim now and play confused.
Y’all were on here calling yourselves “Moderna Mami 💉” & “Pfizer Papi 🧪” lmao
Nah man, what a stupid and ridiculous time that was.
Y’all were never serious people.
Another problem I've noticed with this bonnet/durag discourse is that alot of Black folks just don't like being told what to do.
That's how i know a lot of y'all grew up without a Father/Father figure. Y'all are very anti-authority.
Long before I ever heard of Mamdani, I believed what he believes.
If people can't afford milk and meat and the market won't fix it, then the government should step in and solve it.
I don't believe that anymore, and it isn't because I stopped caring about people who can't afford groceries.
It's because they're the ones who suffer for it, long after everybody else is gone:
Sorry but the discourse around Tyla’s identity has exposed something that deserves to be called out: expecting Africans to understand themselves primarily through a Black American racial framework, while refusing to engage with African’s countries’ racial hierarchies and colonial histories, is a form of xenocentrism that has already become xenophobic in this case.
At some point there has to be intellectual curiosity from
BA. Black Americans are not the only Black people with histories of racialisation, colonialism or oppression. South Africa’s racial classifications for example emerged from a distinct colonial and apartheid system with its own categories, meanings and consequences. Those histories cannot simply be overwritten by an American understanding of race, simply because Tyla wants to market herself to the BA audience. It doesn’t work like that.
Tyla did not invent South Africa’s racial hierarchy any more than Black Americans invented Jim Crow or the one-drop rule. Both are products of white supremacy, but they developed differently in different places. Expecting her to reject the identity that was historically imposed, negotiated and understood within her own country simply to satisfy an American racial framework is insane.
