Upamecano almost had me fooled but he had just been playing alongside Saliba

We have reached an agreement with Beşiktaş for the permanent transfer of Leandro Trossard.

We will provide a further update once the transfer has been completed.

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

Welcome to The Arsenal, Leandro Trossard ❤️

[Yosolaoluwa @Demydeee]

I don’t rate the guy but he featured prominently in our title winning season. He is featuring prominently in England’s current run.

The two coaches also rate him enough to use him. Hopefully one day I’ll see what they are seeing.

Jesus did not die for me. Patrice Lumumba. Thomas Sankara. Steve Biko. Kwame Nkrumah. These are the people that died for me to be free.

That’s what happens when you price a 60 million player at 130 million

Fucks sake we’ve been so starved of anything I’ve just been done by Fabrizio Poomano #AVFC

The Extermination of aboriginals by Europeans isn't largely talked about

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

My favourite kind of racist. The open and shameless kind who will tell you to your face what his intention for you is. Which gives you clarity and time to prepare.

Much preferable to the Biden/Clinton kind who smile at you and shake your hand while ordering a hit on you.

One chance. Two different endings. 🥀

Remembering when there were four World Cup matches a day and life had purpose

Christianity in Africa started as a tool of colonialism. Christianity in Africa will continue to be a tool of colonialism. The same goes for Islam.

We are the only people whose major deities are not made in our own image and skin colour.

I hope the Black Americans find this video and deal with you very well.

[Minister of Motion, Ph.D. Loading 💃🏾👸🏾 @PresidentAdaeze]

I’ll be glad when all Black ppl return to African traditions, reading the whole Bible is what started my decolonization journey, I have no business with Christianity, Islam, or any Judaism

[Tanekalouit-Touraouet ⵜⵏⴽⵍⵡⴷⵜ ⵜⵡⵔⵡⵜ @AishaDaughter]

Just a reminder that white Christian missionaries functioned as the moral justification for white imperial expansion, promoting Western cultural norms and actively eroding African indigenous beliefs, and traditions in the process of evangelisation.

A random fact: słavery was THAT bad that museums can't even share its darkesť parts.

[Barra Hart @barrahart]

If you like, African, keep telling yourself that this specimen here is just one of the "few bad eggs" in the otherwise very good and enlightened West.

There are three types of white people: the confident parasites, the polite parasites, and the genuinely civilized 0.0001%.

This teaching is actually quite popular in White Evangelical circles.

The first edition of Dake's Annotated Reference Bible was published in 1963 - and it was solidly in favour of the "Curse of Ham" thesis - in addition to opposing interracial marriage.

Many Evangelical pastors in Nigeria, Africa and of course, the Bible Belt of the USA - imbibed Dake's teachings on "racial inferiority and superiority".

This so incensed the late Dr. Frederick K.C. Price (an African American Pentecostal Preacher) - that he vocally denounced Dake's teachings on these topics - he produced a series in the late 1980s and 1990s.

But the "Curse of Ham" nonsense, long preceded Dake. It evolved as a justification for slavery. The Portuguese picked it up from Arab Slave Traders, who picked up from Jewish scholars.

The "rationale" - was that since there was no support for slavery solely on the basis of race in the New Testament, then "Christian Slavers" - had to trawl around for "supporting scriptures" somewhere, and they zeroed in on the "Curse of Ham" in the Old Testament.

Neither Jesus, Peter, Paul or any of the Apostles had any time for the "Curse of Ham" nonsense - because they were neither slave traders nor slave owners who had to "justify" their livelihood, before an audience in a "Christian nation".

That wasn't the case in the American South - and that is why the American South (like many other slave owning "Christian" societies) - produced "interesting theologies".

And these "interesting theologies" continue to influence many African Christians - but that is a topic for another day. (Hint: Jesus didn't emphasize "tithing" as much as many of our MoGs do today).
