Istanbul mosques are the best. I walked into a big one and immediately saw kids playing hide and seek, some dude sleeping, another guy praying and another guy doing push ups while his friends watched.
So a white lady living in South Africa posted about how she’s scared of the xenophobic attack going on
And the entire comments was Black South Africans telling her that she shouldn’t worry she’s not the target and she’s safe
Assata Shakur: Cuba Revealed the African Heritage US Media Often Tried to Erase
Assata Olugbala Shakur was a political activist and a prominent member of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army in the USA. She lived out most of her life in political exile in Cuba following her questionable conviction for the alleged m*rder of a police officer in 1973 and her subsequent escape from prison in 1979.
In this clip, Assata - the godmother of HipHop music legend Tupac Shakur - explains how upon arriving in Cuba, she was struck by the stark difference between the visibly African-dominated reality of Cuba's population and culture, and the whitewashed, Europeanised, "Gusano" version of Cuba presented to the world through the lens of US media and its infamous "Miami Cuban" filter.
Her words serve as a reminder that those who control the reins of public perception via media and information often use that power to misrepresent and distort objective reality. Be it on the continent, in Cuba, or anywhere else in the diaspora, Africans must learn to seize control of their public narrative and jealously guard it.
It's Bisan from Gaza. The World Cup is here, but Palestinian footballers are struggling to survive a genocide. Meet the young players still playing between the rubble.
Israel just bombed tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, Gaza.
The strike is massive and flames engulfed the tents.
At least 5 Palestinians killed including a baby girl.
Today Israel bombed Palestine, Lebanon and Syria.
There’s a “ceasefire” im both Palestine and Lebanon yet it did not stop Israel from bombing and occupying both states.
I’ve never seen a “state” that bombs 3 different states on the same day then cries victim.
Zionists are utterly satanic. Shamelessly, they bomb, starve, and snipe Palestinian children daily before the world's unbelieving eyes - nearly three years now - and their criminal rabbis just shrug: "Yeah, but history had worse than us." That is the height of evil.
Trevor Noah called out the double standard: African and Middle Eastern teams get grilled about their governments-while European and American players never do.
Iranian players had to fly to every match. Searched at customs. Interrogated in press conferences. Asked about the Strait of Hormuz-not football.
"The Treatment of Iran’s World Cup Team Exposed the West's and FIFA's Double Standards"
Iran’s captain was asked about LGBT rights. So, why then wasn’t the U.S. team captain asked about the U.S. bombing of the girls' school in Minab, asks @fbhutto ?
