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.
My sister is a telecoms engineer. One of her colleagues got stabbed by someone who feels that rollout of 5G is endangering the general public. Someone trying to do their job got hurt because of fearmongering and misinformation.
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.
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.
Being Black in Europe is a different ballgame because we live in the lands of the colonisers.
Said colonisers prefer to listen to African American perspectives over the local Black citizens They use YOU to gaslight US.
Wherever did you get the idea that Notting Hill Carnival was a Black British street party?!
It isn't and you need to have a seat in an extremely comfortable reclining chair.
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.
It is not the fault of women that men are single.
It is not the fault of women that men have no disposable income.
It is not the fault of women that men do not have friends.

Everyone is defending the host, but the host isn't actually being criticised.
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.
We actually love other parts of the diaspora coming to take part in our culture with us! We just don't appreciate the colonial lens and disrespect that often comes with that.
