Watch How Iran Treated Black American Hostages
After decades of coups, oil theft, and imposed dictatorship by the United States and Britain, Iran’s 1979 crisis exposed an uncomfortable truth: even in confrontation, it recognised Black Americans and women as oppressed rather than interchangeable with imperial power, something the empire itself had never managed to do.
🔥🚨BREAKING: Kanye West made history, after being blackballed by the entire industry, Ye 80k people singing "Heartless" with him at SoFi Stadium
Ye: "That's what 80,000 people sound like ladies and gentlemen... they said I'd never be back in the states. Two sold-out concerts.”
Speaking about the deep contradictions in human nature, Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada said:
“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one barely use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about the relatives still in their lives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have a partner often fail to appreciate them. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the full complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.
The key to happiness is gratitude—to truly see and value what we already have, and to understand that somewhere, someone would give everything for what we take for granted.”
@OwenTshuma7@NewsHawksLive South Africa has 13 official languages—you can’t know them all, don’t be thick. Expecting that is tribalist and borderline xenophobic, and it’s dangerous thinking.

Paleo-Eskimo (pre-Inuit) hunter-gatherers arrived 2500 BCE (4,500 yrs ago) from northern Canada. Main early groups:
• Independence I (north, ~2500–1900 BCE)
• Saqqaq (west/south, ~2500–800 BCE) Long before Vikings (982 CE) or Thule/Inuit ~1200 CE
Ladies and gentlemen across Africa and around the world, join me in wishing this great African music legend a happy 95th birthday.
Malawian musician Giddes Chalamanda was born today in 1931.
In this video he is performing his classic song Linny Hoo. May he live long enough for many younger African generations to continue learning from him, and may his extraordinary contribution to African music continue to be celebrated and remembered forever.
Tilibe kanthu koma kukulemekezani, mkulu. Khalani odalitsidwa mpaka kalekale. Sangalalani lero, tsiku lanu lalikulu. Africa ikukondani.
@shanaka86 When you shut down all the legal avenues, what are people supposed to do? It feels like they're trapped with no way to get what's rightfully theirs. It's like building walls around everything, leaving folks with no recourse except for WAR. It will end in tears.
@MbuyiseniNdlozi We uphold our constitution, not individual leaders, as leaders may change, but the constitution must remain inviolable by anyone, including ourselves. Without it, what foundation do we possess?.
