@just_HaLi246 This is why we need to talk about American imperialism when there are diaspora wars because it is never acknowledged.

If you end your life, people will say "what a shame" but not actually care after the short lived shock of it all. Because they never actually cared in the first place.

She’s literally talking about intersectionality, and she’s 1000% right. They’re weaponizing our lived experiences, and I’m glad she said what she said.

[Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu @SholaMos1]

Using 'racism' as a catch-all phrase for every expression of hate & co-opting it for White people is White privilege personified. Stop centring White Jews in the racism experienced by Black people. Conflating religion with race. When White Jews are racist to Black/Brown Jews that's racism. When White, Black & Brown Jews experience hate BECAUSE they are Jews that's Antisemitism. When White Muslims are racist to Black/Brown Muslims that's racism. When White, Black & Brown Muslims experience hate BECAUSE they are Muslims that's Islamophobia. Racism isn't 'prejudice' - it's a racial power construct that only White people benefit from and Black/Brown people persecuted by. Antisemitism, Islamophobia & Misogyny aren't racism - all are equally heinous, co-exist & intersect. These are NOT different forms of racism, these are distinct expressions of hate. Stop using 'racism' as a catch all phrase. Diane Abbott is spot on that our lived experiences of hate differs.

@RainLadybugTwo @pheothilus @qweenmunekita @MajestyRia The op lives in the UK. People are racially categorised dependent on where they are in the world. In the UK Wentworth miller would never be categorised as black, he be categorised as mixed. Which is the point people are trying to make.

@MajestyRia The way it's flying over her head is killing me😭😭😭😭😭😭

[Es. @es0hes]

@HSleuth46364 @MajestyRia @beckyjoo_ I think you're conflating things. Nothing that you're saying is incorrect but we're talking about race and how it it determined in the UK where op is from. Also the one drop rule may not manifest in the same way as the US, but it definitely often applies in the UK.

[Es. @es0hes]

@blixberrie They are literally categorised as black because of white supremacy. Whiteness literally says "one drop" of black blood makes a person black. But the smoke is always for black people?🥴

[Es. @es0hes]

@HSleuth46364 @MajestyRia @beckyjoo_ The eurocentric ideology on what constitutes "blackness" is what is being fought for here. It is literally the one drop rule. And a black woman is saying that the one drop doesn't makes you black. Particularly if you are not navigating the world perceived as a black woman.

[Es. @es0hes]

@HSleuth46364 @MajestyRia @beckyjoo_ It's apples and oranges though. One is race which is heavily determined by physical attributes, the other can be nationality or ethnicity. Black/white mixed people are categorised as black because of white supremacy.

[Es. @es0hes]

@4cmori @MajestyRia @beckyjoo_

[Es. @es0hes]

@HSleuth46364 @MajestyRia @beckyjoo_ But black is not synonymous to African at all, and never has been. People really need to understand the difference between race, ethnicity and nationality 😭

[Ⓜ️ @qweenmush]

being black is so crazy cause you can love and care abt your friend for years and then one day they’ll say or do something that makes you question if they see you as a real person

[Danilo @odedanilo]

we don’t ask friends about the parent they never talk about

Absent Fathers have gotten so comfortable with apologising later in Life.

They didn’t just kill him. They cut up & dissolved his body in acid. His killers kept his tooth as a trophy and his family only got it 61yrs later. A tooth. Thats all they have left of him. Belgium does not get enough hate imo.

[س ❆ @avepxndora]

privileged people realizing that we live in a perpetually colonial environment. ‘i want my money back’ for what? you paid to stay at a resort catered to westerners for the ‘photo op’ and the ‘island experience’ with little regard for local peoples and how they’re affected by this
