I live in Berlin. The police are literally camped at Sonnenallee, which is a neighborhood with a v big Palestinian population. They're arresting brown ppl left and right.
Germany has decided the best way it can ease its guilt about the holocaust is to passionately endorse another one.

they've arrested children and dragged people out of chicken shops. The police tell civilians that saying "Free Palestine" is an anti Semitic slur, and they are violent towards people who display the Palestinian flag.

Your own parents came to the UK as refugees
Today we removed people who came here via small boat.
They had previously claimed asylum elsewhere and had no legal right to be in the UK.
Removals continue to be frustrated by activist lawyers, but I will not let up until this route is unviable

Men do deserve support for mental health and harassment. men are also victims of bullying and domestic violence.
The issue is that men never bring up these issues unless women are speaking about their experience with these issues.

You're not being gaslit.
Are you even having an open conversation with the Black Dutch people in the replies?
Do you know how long they've been fighting this holiday?
y’all really not about to convince me that being openly Black in a country with a holiday like this isn’t a risk (and again i never said specifically physical). racial gaslighting is real and it doesn’t work on me. smd.

Jab Jab can be seen as a reappropriation of slave imagery. His chains and tar covered skin are used to mock the white enslavers.

We came here in droves as colonial citizens and never had segregation laws, which allowed them to downplay racism from the jump. We are Black and proud but we have a different experience to you and you shouldn't discount that.

...Ballroom and voguing has nothing to do with YOUR section of gay men.
You feel stereotyped but you actually sound boring and self hating, like most gays who feel attacked by stereotypes about us THAT WE DIDN'T CREATE.
i'm a gay man. drag queens, ballroom, and voguing do not represent me.
i am a man who loves other men. that is all.
stop stereotyping gay men with drag queens and ballrooms and voguing.
you wouldn't do that to any other groups.
that's like saying all.... nvm

I'm still mad about Jab Jab being referred to as witchcraft.
The Caribbean is an overwhelming catholic place and "witchcraft" was banned in many of the islands during the colonial period due to the enslaved people using it to assist in rebellion.

And it's jokes because the host is at the Oscars, but other hosts like them that actually belong to our communities have no such opportunities.
