Exploiting poor people will always be evil. They don't do this shit in the other palop countries like that but more specifically on the touristic islands of Cape Verde. Funniest thing is Portuguese people don't even have bread like that, they just have more than the average CV
During my time in CV, I've developed a very strong dislike for Portuguese people. Especially the women, it's like they think CV was created as a breeding ground for them to welcome mixed raced family trees. It's just very evil. They heavily participate in sex tourism there
Never in my life have I seen so many women willingly putting their savings down just to transport a black man from CV to Portugal tolive with them. It is genuinely modern day slavery. I'm not even gonna argue with anyone about this. I've seen it and it's disgusting.
White Portuguese people really irk me. Just because you colonised Cabo Verde doesn't make you Cape Verdeans. They literally come to Cape Verde and move like their forefathers still transporting slaves. Especially on the tourist island, it's so weird to see online and in real life
Lmao I have 2.
Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi.
Mother Teresa let dying patients be treated with blunt reused needles, had a mortality rate about 40% in her clinics and when she was confronted about the conditions, said there’s something beautiful in seeing the poor accept their lot, and to suffer it like Christ’s Passion. Doctors called her facilities “homes for the dying”. And cancer patients were given aspirin for pain.
Gandhi too, the face of universal peace, the person that said “be the change you wish to see”, spent years in South Africa describing Black Africans as “savage”, “dirty” and living like animals. He campaigned actively to prove to British rulers that Indians were superior to native Black Africans. He also organized a brigade to help suppress a Zulu uprising. His defenders say he evolved. Maybe.
Nobody likes to talk about the entire sides of history.
And these are their summarized versions btw.
@xevekiah Exactly why 'medical misogyny' hits so hard. A simple perforation and scarring turned into decades of infertility, shame, and a broken marriage
My cousin got married at 22. They wanted a house full of kids. She got pregnant within months, they painted a nursery before the first trimester was even over.
Then she miscarried.
She had a procedure. Woke up groggy. Doctor smiled and said, “Everything’s fine. You can try again soon.”
They tried for years.
Every negative test felt like a verdict. Her in-laws started making comments. Her husband grew distant. Eventually he left. Said he “wanted a real family.” He remarried within a year. Two babies back to back.
She thought her body had betrayed her.
In her late 50s, after new medical transparency laws made it easier to request old hospital files, she applied for her records.
Buried in the notes from that miscarriage was a line: “Complication during procedure. Uterine perforation. Significant scarring.”
No one had explained it. No follow-up. No referral. No honesty.
She spent three decades blaming herself for something that happened to her.
Some women are told their bodies failed them.
Sometimes the truth is, someone else did.
Material violence is the weapon of choice. All over the world, the same story is told over and over again.
Certain people believe they are the only ones who have a right to safety and security in this world and they ensure the suffering of others to make this true.
Over and over
