With her saying that was obviously not on any ill intent & I don’t appreciate you guys highlighting this from the bigger picture. When she was making it be known that a trans women only stood up for her was because none of her cis female peers was nowhere to be found. The same community that turns an eye on the lgbtq+ on so many numerous ways will still stand up for heterosexual ppl was the point. Not everyone is caught up on new correct vocabulary terms & this could easily be taught to monique without subjecting her for this like what she wais was evil. I h8 when y’all do this
I feel like we should start shunning celebrities like the Amish do.
Like really block them for a week, so they don’t get views. Like I’m not gonna let you monetize this bad attention you getting. Redeem yourself and the shunning is over.
The Amish ate with that one
Spent most of the video blaming the victim. Not far fetched, neighbors cars have been vandalized too. Our brains crave predictability, like him we tend to blame victims of unfairness rather than reject the comforting worldview that good will be rewarded and evil punished. Nasty
This is what BBC Africa excels at. Glorified tabloid journalism masquerading as important, hard-hitting stories.
They'll never do a documentary on how South Africa's 9% white minority STILL holds roughly 83% of the country's wealth 29 years after the end of apartheid.
They'll never do a documentary on how the typical black household in South Africa holds about 5% of the wealth of the typical white household, despite making up 85% of the population.
No documentary on how South Africa prefers to spend billions of rands annually on social welfare grants to a young and alarmingly unproductive population instead of investing in education (while tuition fees go up and increasingly exclude said unproductive majority population), effectively subsidising today by eating tomorrow and ensuring that defacto apartheid will remain in place for at least another generation.
No documentary about how deliberate policy choices and mismanagement since 1994 have made South Africa - a country which should have become Africa's first proper industrial economy with its existing nuclear reactors and an installed energy capacity of 40,000 MW - fail to achieve the needed growth velocity to escape poverty, and instead have a 13,000 MW energy shortfall and no prospect of industrialisation in future, which makes no sense.
No documentary on any of the actual economic issues that lead to scapegoating of poor immigrants by equally poor people. No documentary that provides any actionable insights or platform for actual broad-based societal change.
Just glossy outrage porn and elementary school analysis to feed hate clicks by those who lack knowledge of the actual issues and who erroneously think that what goes on at BBC Africa - a place where staff get fired for not getting enough clicks on their stories - can be classified as "journalism."
The Daily Mail of state-funded propaganda outfits.
