"You have shown us that you are not on OUR side." —Viola Davis rejects Target's apology over racist Halloween costume
“Target, I do not accept your apology, and I do not believe that you understand the impact... the pain... the dehumanization of the above.
These images laid the foundation and the ideology for every atrocity that has been committed against my people.
We MATTER!!
You have shown us that you are not on OUR side.”
I see alote of comments are saying most of the fathers are foreigners, but we just had a whole tik tok trend called "akondli " never seen a foreigner there😭✋🏽
What if, listening to this painful call, ALL those who say they care for Palestine, started to pay attention to:
-grocery/pharmaceuticals they buy
-insurance companies they use
-their banks
-their pension funds
-their work or research partners..
And chose an #ApartheidFree life
These charges arose from Public Protector report that ordered ABSA Bank to repay the interest of R1 billion it illegally obtained from the South African Reserve Bank. When ABSA and the Reserve Bank took that report on review, the Constitutional Court ordered me to pay personal legal costs. Ordinary South Africans responded. They crowdfunded every cent of the R260 000 – many giving as little as R10 – to defend a Public Protector who had dared to act.
Under my leadership the Office of the Public Protector achieved its first clean audit since the institution was established in 1996. Then delivered two further consecutive clean audits. That record of integrity was met not with recognition, but with a coordinated campaign by the ANC and DA to remove me.
I was illegally removed after sending 31 questions to President Cyril Ramaphosa arising from the Phala Phala investigation. Today that same President faces impeachment proceedings.
And let’s say someone is dumb enough to believe that black people don’t watch/play rugby, how then do you explain why our women’s national team looks like it does? Or is it only black women and not gents that play rugby?
