CIRCLE WITH A DOT

It's been a while since I posted #MusicFromTheMotherland but there were some great soundtracks in the various films at the festival. Last night I saw COTTON QUEEN about a Sudanese woman and her fight to preserve natural cotton versus GMA seed, among other issues. Artist Amira Kheir is featured on the soundtrack. Here's a taste of her music. https://youtu.be/ofOxEtEzIyw#BlackMastodon #BlackFedi #BlackTwitter #NAFF #AFI

@ErikaSumner"Fifty-two countries abstained, including the United Kingdom and European Union member states." What a bloody disgrace for France and Europe. What ever happened to all your fine post-WWII resolutions?Quelle honte pour la France et l'Europe ! Qu'est-il advenu de toutes vos belles résolutions d'après-guerre ?

Huge update from the UN today, Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama has secured a UN resolution declaring the slave trade (and it's lasting impacts) as one of the world's worst human rights abuses.President Mahama stressed the importance of this resolution in the fight for reparations paid by the countries who profited from slavery.https://presidency.gov.gh/speech-president-mahama-at-a-high-level-event-on-reparatory-justice-at-the-un/#JohnDramaniMahama #Ghana #UN #SlaveTrade #BlackMastodon #AfricanDiaspora #PanAfrican #Slavery #CrimeAgainstHumanity #Reparations

Philandro Castile was stopped by cops every 3 months for 10 years straight.I'm being stopped by cops at least once a week.That's a rate of police contact 1400% higher than Philandro.Philando's death has become a symbol of the systematic statistics of eventually meeting a trigger happy bad apple.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH9ygqyX6yQ#BlackFriday #BlackMastodon #ACAB #PhilandroCastile #ParentingWhileBlack #PNW

@Spacehistory And all these countries have the same thing in common: a history of colonialism.

@AdrianRiskin It's already bad enough that Spencer Pratt is running for mayor as the MAGA celebrity candidate. We sure as hell don't need a Black MAGA running. Who would vote for him? No one in Baldwin Hills or Leimert Park would. Nor in the projects. Definitely not in my old hood on Gage Ave. He forgot that he's from the hood, just like the rest of us. He's Fox's Stephen A. Smith. A sellout.

guess who else they’re planning to send to camps. Fortunately, local communities have stopped a number of these camps from opening in their towns but rust never sleeps and neither do Nazis.STAY WOKE! @jkivey01 replied with the image below.(4/4)

TIL Joe Louis didn't just knock out that Nazi boxer Hitler sent, but _also_ knocked out the mob tied Mussolini loving Primo Carnera.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Louis?wprov=sfla1#BHM #blackmastodon

@IveyJanette Actually, looking at that statement of mine, change that to a bag of chips and an off-brand can of cola.

They stated some kids in school call others “n-word” and didn’t even know what it means.In addition to explaining how bad the word is, I advised my child if they do say it, they may get punched in the face and I will not come to their defense.(6/8)

Only waiting for #Trump to interrupt the Oscars,the NBA on NBC and the March Madness selection shows on Sunday to babble about "winning" his stupid ass war. AND:To announce the return of the draft so innocent Black and Brown people from the hood and barrio are forced into FIGHTING his stupid ass war!Without congressional approval. Like clockwork. Just like Vietnam. #blackmastodon

@IveyJanette When I was young, and entertaining invitations from suitors, I could easily weed out the “no, absolutely not” boys by their Kiss fandom. (AC/DC too, although I like some of their three chords.) All that said, it is insane that Iron Maiden isn’t in the HoF. If Black Sabbath has been similarly ignored, I may have opinions. 🧐

@deirdrebeth They want us sent back to Africa. Period.

@IveyJanette Shows how prevalent racism is, regardless of income bracket. Even more details on the story here:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15611087/harvard-westlake-school-los-angeles-water-polo-sex-assault-racism-scandal-lucca-van-der-woude.html

@Deglassco and the US turned into a biggest bully we've ever seen!
