In Joanne’s defence, Lynx was the person who mentioned her being black and him wanting to protect her first. I hate that he hasn’t admitted that to everyone and now she looks weird for mentioning race #bbuk

People are gonna come on here and explain Johanne’s behaviour away as “American directness” but icl she’s just rude and overly confrontational #bbuk #bigbrother

Everyone’s really falling for the bait of turning the Macklemore situation into stan wars. “My fav did this, your fav did that” instead of asking what YOU can do individually and questioning how fucked the system is at its core. You cannot be over 18 acting like this.

A lot of these SAHM are martyrs for a cause that never asked them for such a sacrifice

[goodaz. @tsunamitaj]

I think being a SAHM is extremely valuable those first 2-6 years. After that, unless you homeschool there’s no real reason to be at home.

[North Badu @Haliwa_Saponi]

The real problem on here is that yall act like mothers can’t be criticized. Having a stay home mom does seem annoying. Being a good mom doesn’t require being a martyr; yall choose to do it and get mad when no one cares about your choice.

[dove🇨🇩 @doveyy_]

Aa someone who’s mum worked then decided to be a sahm when I was 7, of course she did a lot for us and always kept the house and took care of us but I’ve always wished she stayed working

“Adopt, don’t shop” when it comes to animals and pets but not humans is wild to me

When this happened in France it was headline news in the UK for months.

Now it’s happened in the UK and we’re relying on foreign media orgs to report it?

It is immensely disrespectful for a plaque to be upheld with its intention of celebrating Notting Hill Carnival, the largest Caribbean event in the world, which celebrates and highlights Caribbean perseverance and unity stemming from the racial animosity that the Windrush Generation would experience, and neither the words "Caribbean", "West-Indian", nor "Windrush" is mentioned in the plaque, but "Africa" is.

First, modern-day Carnival, which exists in the Caribbean, was not developed by "people from Africa". In fact, much of its roots derive from Pre-Lenten festivities such as Mardi Gras, which enslaved Afro-Caribbean people were exempt from participating in.

Those who were able to survive against all odds of slavery in the Caribbean, with its immense brutality that brought forward an enslaved person's life expectancy of merely five years following their migration, made their own following emancipation.

Carnival in the Caribbean derives from Canboulay in Trinidad, a festivity that would commemorate the harrowing experiences of enslaved Afro-Caribbean people extinguishing sugar-cane fires against their will, which later would evolve Caribbean carnival that would mock European masquerades, commemorate former Afro-Caribbean people’s resilience during slavery and their preservation survive such a traumatic experience.

While this was happening, the continent was still plagued by slavery, with many Africans still engaging in the practise of selling enslaved Africans to Arabs, and the Europeans who did not adhere to the 1807 abolishment of the Slave Trade Act. It would not be until around 1881/1914 would Europeans colonise Africa, with much of the pretence being to abolish slavery — would they have been colonised. This experience alone is what differentiates Africans from Afro-Caribbean people.

Therefore, to state that carnival derives from “People from Africa” is not only ahistorical but also cultural erasure, disregarding our unique identity and our ethnogenesis, which brought forward Afro-Caribbean customs such as Carnival.

Furthermore, Notting Hill Carnival was formed in response to racial animosity that the Windrush Generation experienced, with key events such as the Notting Hill Race Riots, dating to August-September 1958, where Caribbean people fought against a racist White mob that was heavily stoked by Oswald Mosley & his sons and the death of Kelso Cochrane in Notting Hill, May 1959 — which led to the creation of Notting Hill Carnival. The people who founded NHC were not from Africa, either.
