@samgerrits

Het meest hilarische van de hele #Blackface toestand is dat we ergens (tijdens de slavernij?) hebben besloten dat Sinterklaas beter zwarte mensen als knechtjes kan hebben dan zwarte duivels, zoals hij nog steeds heeft in Oostenrijk en Duitsland. (Krampus).

We weten dat we dat deden, omdat Schiermonnikoog als een van de laatste plekken in NL nog "Klozum" (Sinter Klozum) vierde met zwarte duivels. Dus we hebben zwarte mensen als een vriendelijke variant op letterlijke duivels ingevoerd.

Hier zie je de overgang. Sinterklaas intocht in Den Bosch in 1936. Let op de duivel-achtige figuur rechts van het paard. We hebben van onze zwarte midwinterduivels zwarte mensen gemaakt. Zo ongeveer het meest racistische wat ik me voor kan stellen? Leve de roetpieten. #Blackface

@RosesPaintedRed

this is a bad, racist argument & feminists need to stop making it. criticise drag all you want, I’m no great fan, but the comparison to blackface glosses over the historical meaning of minstrelsy in a way that equivocates rather than illuminates. /1

https://twitter.com/BraddockBessie/status/1581956204955594752

minstrelsy was historically created to parody the immutable characteristics of enslaved afro americans. Its primary purpose was to entertain working class whites with subhuman depictions of black slaves in order to reproduce their complacency toward ancestral chattel slavery. /2

drag was created to engage in absurdist appropriation of arbitrary fashion conventions of gender but only incidental simulation of immutable sex characteristics of women as a subversion of the gender norms that dehumanize gay men for their insufficiently masculine sexuality. /3

@hennis1967 @CandiceBergenMP Why do you respect @JustinTrudeau after his chronic racist behavior since becoming Prime Minister?

@hennis1967 @CandiceBergenMP @JustinTrudeau @JustinTrudeau racism. Exhibit A:

Trudeau mocks Indigenous protesters to the delight of @liberal_party members and donors.

@hennis1967 @CandiceBergenMP @JustinTrudeau @liberal_party @JustinTrudeau racism. Exhibit B:

Trudeau fires Canada's first Indigenous AG for being ethical.

عيد همگى بود مبارك

قطعه اى از ترانه #روحوضى #حاجی‌فیروز كه هر سال ميشنويم و همچون هزاران سال پيش به استقبال #نوروز و بهار ميرويم

در اين رشتو به اين پرسش پاسخ خواهم داد كه آيا حاجى فيروز، ميراث برده دارى عهد #قاجار است؟
اگر نيست، پس از كجا آمده است؟
١/٢٤

در سالهاى اخير پژوهشهاى دكتر پدرام خسرونژاد، درباره برده دارى در عهد قاجار، اطلاعات ارزشمندى درباره بخش مهمى از جامعه و تاريخ ايران در اختيار مخاطبان قرار داده است
او در آثارش سعى ميكند تا از خلال عكسها و اسناد تاريخى، مخاطب را با احوال بخشى از جامعه ايرانى آشنا سازد ٢/٢٤

در عهد قاجار، بردگان سياه و سفيد در خانه اشراف و درباريان خدمت ميكردند
بردگان سياهپوست عمدتا از بازار برده فروشان مكه كه به همت خلافت #عثمانى رونق يافته بود، به ايران راه ميافتند و بردگان سفيدپوست توسط ايلات قفقاز، تركمنستان و مكران، به اسارت درآمده و در ايران فروخته ميشدند ٣/٢٤

Personnellement :
- J'ai mis beaucoup de temps à comprendre le #BlackFace
- J'avais une posture abolitionniste de la #Prostitution qui a plutôt évolué (même si je ne suis pas encore arrêté), un bon podcast qui illustre la problématique du sujet :

- J'avais un apriori assez caricatural de l'écriture #inclusive, m’intéresser vraiment au sujet m'a rendu plutôt sympathisant même si je lui trouve toujours de véritables défauts.

- J'ai mis un moment à comprendre la notion de #Charge #Mentale dans le féminisme.

Here is a video of a skit that #shanedawson & his friends made in high school. They are degrading & derogatory towards Western Asain people, they are also Islamophic by disrespecting the Hijab which is sacred a symbol of modesty in Islam and devotion to Allah for muslim women.

⚠️TW// Antisemitism and rasim⚠️ Here is a skit that #shanedawson made during his high school days with his friends. He dresses up as Hitler and even does a brief nazi salute.

@ENAREurope

Let's walk the talk.

Let's fight racialised oppression for real.

Let's put decolonization on the agenda for changing racist power structures for real.

#BlackLivesMatter #GeorgeFloydMurder #racisme #Roma

@DDGCtweets @ColKnowledges @colonialhangovr @theNUC1 @UN_PGA

#Decolonisation is an essential element for any recovery plan for #Europe in order to overcome structural racism & social issues exacerbated by #COVID19.

Replacing statues of criminals with memorials to their millions of victims is a great starting point. #BlackLivesMatter

What #BlackLivesMatter means in #Europe?
Why EU is so silent?
Why No action on commissioners who deny racism?
Why politicians who have taken part in #blackface end up being an commissioner?
Why no non-white #EU commissioners?

2) First, THOUSANDS of #ContactTracers are being hired all over the country. The evidence of this is clear. cbsnews.com/news/contact-t…

3) Now, who would be attracted to such an invasive job? How EXCITED your neighbor might be to be able to decide the future of your kids and other family members through #ContactTracing! 🙄 Controlling flags, grass length and noisy dogs is just not enough!

We have just launched our report about the media ecosystem and mis/disinformation in the 2019 Canadian Federal election. What follows is a mega thread detailing our methods, findings and some broader reflections. @mcgillu @munkschool @MaxBellSchool @ppforumca
1/n

There is a big worry about the influence of mis/disinformation and other forms of online media manipulation on democratic institutions, elections and political life. We set out to build and produce a robust and reproducible Canadian study. And we are heartened by what we found.

We assembled a fantastic team of political scientists, computer scientists, communications and public policy scholars to do what we believe to be the most comprehensive case study of an information ecosystem done during a Canadian election to-date.

After reflecting on Trudeau’s #brownface (and now #blackface) scandal, a THREAD:

TL;DR: Racism is systemic. Policies matter. Commit to anti-racism. Amplify racialized voices. Scrutinize for consistency.

Race is complex. Its discourse must meet that complexity, not overlook it.

First, be *aware*. Stop being surprised by events like this. It’s not “shocking” that Trudeau wore blackface; It’s expected. Racism is systemic in Canada. Those who deny it aren’t seeing a different society, they’re simply failing to name it.

Second, be *precise*. Specifically, ask the right questions: Not “is Trudeau racist?” But “how do his actions reflect systemic racism?” And “what are we doing to dismantle that system?” The individualization of racism is what upholds its systemic force.

@Femi_Sorry

No. Nobody with even half a brain cell on the left would do that if they were aware of the historical significance of Caucasian people painting themselves into #BlackFace. (gollywogs etc) So it's clearly something @JustinTrudeau did before he learned what it meant.

https://twitter.com/TimmyOToole15/status/1174645046395768832

To anyone accusing me of being biased or inconsistent, suggesting that I'm only taking this position on blackface because I Iike Justin Trudeau.... Here's a thread I made over a year ago about people I'd never even heard of...

https://twitter.com/Femi_Sorry/status/903168400192675840?s=19

Honest opinion:
Blackface to imitate black people in general has historical connotations making it racist AF.
Blackface as an homage to a character/celeb you love doesn't make you racist... but unless Spielberg does your makeup it won't look good enough not to look disrespectful.

We are missing the point if this story becomes about Justin Trudeau being unveiled as "a racist". Here is an opportunity to think more deeply about the situation and what allows it to be so. I'm not in any way surprised by the image that has been circulated. /1

North American society is quite focused on identifying people as 'racists' or 'not racists'. Being called racist is considered one of the worst labels you could apply to someone. And yet, we all live, breathe and swim in a soup of structural racism reinforcing racist beliefs. /2

The reason for the crisis is that @JustinTrudeau's image is one of being a 'good person' who identifies as feminist, welcomes immigrants, and reconciliation. So his defenders rush to say, he's not 'a racist' because this is impossible for someone who is a 'good person'. /3

[CONTRE ENQUETE] Le soir de la fête de la musique à Nantes, la police charge violemment les fêtards. 14 personnes tombent dans la Loire. 1 disparu #Oueststeeve ? On a enquêté sur le commissaire responsable de l'opération. Plusieurs révélations. #Thread ⬇️
streetpress.com/sujet/15627494…

Selon plusieurs témoins, avant la charge de la police, des fêtards / organisateurs ont voulu dialoguer pour désamorcer la situation : 🗨️« Ils nous ont directement insultés et bousculés. Ils nous ont dit: Fermez vos gueules, on vous parle pas ! » #Thread ⬇️streetpress.com/sujet/15627494…

Comme s'ils voulaient en découdre. Alors qu'ils tentent de discuter et qu'il n'y a aucune violence des fêtards, « ils sont repartis s’équiper. », raconte un témoin. Le drame pouvait être évité ! #Thread ⬇️

@HMAesq

Yesterday I met with labor union representatives who asked me, "What are people telling you on the doors about how we can move forward?"

"Forward" is a really great-sounding, popular political term. Obama used it. So did Communist China in the 1980's: (向前看) I have, too.

It came up at our healthcare/reproductive freedom roundtable last night. "How do we move forward?" I asked my guests @MargieInTheDMV and @srobgyn.

Certainly, recognizing the need to move forward and having conversations is important, and a first step as Margie pointed out.

The refrain after a tragedy like #NewZealandTerroristAttack is always how to move "past" it. The same words used in the wake of the #Blackface scandals here in Virginia.

The metaphor underlying it all is: we're all on a linear path: backward is bad, forward is good.

@MikeQReports

First, #blackface. Then, #sexualassault allegations. Now, threats of impeachment. I’ve got the latest information on the chaos in the #Commonwealth all morning on @wusa9 #GetUpDC

#Virginia @LGJustinFairfax could soon be on the way to losing his job if one #Arlington lawmaker gets his way.

@HopeforVirginia is planning to introduce articles of impeachment against #Fairfax today.

The 39-year-old is facing sexual assault allegations from two women. @wusa9

If those articles of impeachment are introduced against Fairfax today, we could see a vote as early as tomorrow.

That resolution would kick off hearings on the allegations. A committee would have to recommend impeachment, and the full house would have to vote @wusa9
