Sorry but the discourse around Tyla’s identity has exposed something that deserves to be called out: expecting Africans to understand themselves primarily through a Black American racial framework, while refusing to engage with African’s countries’ racial hierarchies and colonial histories, is a form of xenocentrism that has already become xenophobic in this case.

At some point there has to be intellectual curiosity from
BA. Black Americans are not the only Black people with histories of racialisation, colonialism or oppression. South Africa’s racial classifications for example emerged from a distinct colonial and apartheid system with its own categories, meanings and consequences. Those histories cannot simply be overwritten by an American understanding of race, simply because Tyla wants to market herself to the BA audience. It doesn’t work like that.

Tyla did not invent South Africa’s racial hierarchy any more than Black Americans invented Jim Crow or the one-drop rule. Both are products of white supremacy, but they developed differently in different places. Expecting her to reject the identity that was historically imposed, negotiated and understood within her own country simply to satisfy an American racial framework is insane.

You really have to look at it like this “any day can be your last” and “every morning is an opportunity to be better” to appreciate life.

Men usually say physical touch because they stop receiving physical affection around 12. Unless a dude is intimate with someone, chances are he does receive any type of physical touch throughout the day. Why yall think black men in particular dap up they friends 15 times a convo?

@noellealicia242 @mindyaplate So a lot of the misinformation falls into disinformation - intentionally placed by bad actors. The lack of information isn’t the main villian, it’s propaganda. An effective counter to this is in the delivery, or messaging; like strategic bunking and trusted deliverers. #Resist

@Bahama I’m ready to tell my story. Kia Sportage days. Watch that warranty. Push it hard. Had a major issue while under warranty. They would reset - minute the warranty expire, 5K to fix. Ten years ago.
