@sankurienne @MeesLala77 I feel like they are so committed to misunderstanding your tweet. It’s strange that they are offended by your invitation for them to seek education and knowledge. It’s like talking to a wall.

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.

@MpinganaD @Mgazi_Omponjwan It truly is. Unfortunately, some people will fall victim to it.

@nonkululeko1402 Not all single mothers got their by making bad decisions. Some lost their partners to death. No one can predict a death. If people were immortal some women wouldn’t be single right now. So yes, let there be love.

@sugeezy I’m learning that in a case like this, it would be completely appropriate to take my phone out and start recording. That’s the answer. People get away with too much man.

@StaxCooks Why couldn’t she just ask the husband for the stokvel money? In any case, she should just come clean. It’s not like he’ll divorce her or whatever.

@Ngubenil @TimesLIVE I don’t understand. Why did she do that?
