This has been my issue with some of the commentary I keep seeing.
“Oh the government can start from somewhere”.
Once we start behaving like the government can’t walk and chew gum at the same time, we are making excuses for them.
Gilbert Arenas says the San Antonio Spurs are ass without Victor Wembanyama. They are the Washington Wizards without Anthony Davis and Trae Young—a bunch of young guys playing basketball. They don't have a small forward or a power forward. Wemby makes all this work.
@af_ia_blue It was a jarring experience for him 😂 This why our politicians don’t want us to complain because we have it “relatively better” than some African states. Meanwhile bro can’t function without the dysfunction
One of the most effective ways to keep people from questioning an unjust system is to convince them that their ability to survive it makes them morally superior to those who can't.
One of the perks of being jobless is it makes you very observant.
The dogs on my street are in a gang and i recently noticed they've ostracized one. i suspect it's because he tried to leave so he has been home more often now. i should learn dog coz this gist looks interesting
Before Traffitech went live, we challenged the Police to fix some of the logical glitches. We pleaded with them not to succumb to katanomics.

So arguing that alata is not a slur is the wrong argument, I think. Rather is any Nigerian likely to have suffered some bigotry/xenophobia/profiling at the hands of a Ghanaian? If so then it’s needless to argue about the proper use of what word was pejoratively thrown at them.
I see many people have made the correct point that an innocuous etymology (in this case of the word “alata”) does not preclude a word from being used as a slur. Almost any word that describes a group of people can be used as a slur.
FBAs are so intentionally divisive. You guys end up looking like the same system putting you down .
You spent hours discrediting an entire culture because you can’t recognize yourself within it, but are convinced your community is the superior one?

The New Crusading Guide and Tiger Eye peered behind the gold veil. What we found sits in documents, in court records, and in places no one wanted us to look.
Idk man. I think PO baby dropped the ball on that one. Doubling down on the superiority of her academia over everything else, served no purpose to the exchange.
They dystopia fascism builds will be noting compared to that of the age of intellectualism and enlightenment.
This has dragged.
While yes, we know the end of R & J, the case for intellectualism cannot be so b&w when it’s up against the subjectivity of consuming art.
Titanic ends in a tragedy, but through it, Dion gave us the greatest love songs of all. Two themes in one reality
