Snoop, Jigga and Dre at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, delivering their sunset performances. 😂

Hip-hop is a generational game, and rap careers come with an interesting expiry date. As the legends grow older, their hair turns grey, their knees begin negotiating retirement packages, and their grandchildren start attending concerts.

Suddenly, performing those outrageous lyrics from the 1990s becomes a serious moral dilemma. Imagine Snoop looking into the VIP section, seeing his grandchildren, and realising he has to explain to them why Grandpa spent half his career rapping about things he now warns them never to do. Handizvo here @Shadaya_Knight ? 🤪

At some point, gangsta rap becomes a parental safeguarding issue. 😂

The first black Africans to compete in the Olympics were Tswana tribesmen from South Africa 🇿🇦

August 30 1904, two Tswana tribesmen, Len Tau (Len Taunyane) and Yasmani ( Jan Mashiani), they were referred to as LenTau and Yasmani because officials could not pronounce their surnames, became the first black Africans to compete in the modern Olympics when they ran in the Summer Olympics men's marathon held in St Louis. They had been in St Louis on a Boer Ear Exbibit in Louisiana Purchase Exposition held alongside games when they decided to enter the marathon at the last minute.

Tau ran barefoot on an insuitable course and over dusty roads, so dusty that it caused many of the athletes to collapse. Tau finished ninth and Mashiani came twelfth. This was a disappointing to Tau as many observers were sure he could have done better if he had not been chased nearly a mile off course by aggressive dogs.

Adolf Hitler is the only world leader to ever arrest a Rothschild

In 1959, 69 black boys were padlocked in their dormitory at school and it was then set on fire.

21 burnt to death while 48 managed to escape.

A THREAD.

While World War Two was going on, Britain was colonizing the entire world, almost the whole of Africa was still colonized. Hitler’s crime was that he dared to colonize white people.

The Scottsboro Boys were nine black teenagers ages 13 to 20, who were falsely accused in 1931 of r@ping two white women on a train."

"An all whıte jury found the young men guilty, although the women eventually admitted to lying about the r@pe."

"The youngest of the boys was blind, and was born with syphilis... proving the boys could not have r@ped the women without spreading the disease."

Further noting.

"The Scottsboro Boys collectively served more than 100 years in prison. Only one of the men survived after serving several decades in prison to later be exonerated."

He dıed shortly after he was released from prison."

In 1946, Isaac Woodard, WWII veteran, hours after being honorably discharged, was attacked by South Carolina police while still in uniform when taking the bus home & left permanently BLIND The officers were acquitted by an all white jury.

—Isaac enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1942 at Fort Jackson in Columbia, S.C, and served in the Pacific Theater as a longshoreman in a labor battalion. In February 1946, the decorated soldier received an honorable discharge at Camp Gordon, which is located near Augusta, Georgia.
Along with other discharged soldiers, Woodard boarded a Greyhound bus on February 12 to travel home. A conflict was triggered when the white bus driver belittled the army veteran for asking to take a bathroom break.
At the next stop, Woodard was met by the Chief Linwood Shull of the Batesburg, South Carolina police. While still in his army uniform, the police forcibly removed him from the bus and arrested him for disorderly conduct.
They beat Woodward, and the next day he was convicted of 'drunken and disorderly conduct' and fined $50. They also refused to take him to hospital after beating him for several days. The beatings that he suffered while in police custody caused him Permanent Blindness.

I have stopped going to South Africa for any international conferences for mainly 3 things.

1. Border police rudeness: Some years ago I was invited for a conference on conflicts in the Horn in South Africa. I showed email invite to the border policeman at the desk. He rudely asked: "but why can't you people hold your peace conferences in your homes. Why always come to South Africa?" - I think he had a point. Why must we?

Second time it was worse - "But why are you Zomallis and Ethiopians always here."

I reminded him I was actually Kenyan, and I was only in the country for 2 days for an international conference

Reply: "Sheh, um, eh. But what is the difference"

2. As soon as locals figure out you are a black person, possibly African from another country, the automatic assumption is that you are an illegal migrant. You see immediate hostile reaction. Honestly, I found SA one of the most miserable places on earth in terms of peoples' attitude to foreigners. The visceral hatred towards fellow Africans is unnerving. Still one of the most beautiful geographies in Africa.

3. The state bureaucracy and departments filled with people who actually know very little about the outside world. Most of the best people who made South Africa an outward-looking African power are gone. All remaining are small-time apparatchiks stealing from the state and fat toads serving as diplomats. I feel sorry for South Africa.
