Actually it was because they were wearing the opposing team's jersey on home court. Home team was losing and this was the halftime show, so fans were understandably upset.
@fkamorena
This thought process is harmful. P*dos sexualize things that shouldn't be sexualized. That's why they're p*dos.
Rather than stigmatize a perfectly normal & healthy thing bc you're looking at it through a p*do's eyes, it'd make 1000x more sense to say don't post kids at all.

@stillnotziora
I know his type. He exotifies Black women, but would never seriously date or marry one. He comes from a wealthy Pakistani family & my experience with rich left-leaning South Asian men is that they have identity issues they try to use Black women to fix. I could go on for days.

Tbh this is an international platform and her location is in her bio. The onus is on us not to speak to everyone as if they're from America. Sorry, but she's right.
@slaydaimusic
@HarrietCarried
Exactly. People just parrot each other on here bc this literally wasn't a common opinion until 3 or so years ago. As a CSA survivor, accusing people of being nefarious over normal behavior isn't โraising awarenessโ. You're just being weird and unnecessarily triggering people.
She grew up in foster care. Her dad killed her mom when she was 8. So I think it's especially interesting that you're using this angle when her only connection to Nigerian culture is her ancestry.
@RedTeamReview
Ppl are complaining about the omission of the Sophie's Choice dialogue and the twist. No one is begging to see the actual beheading. The shocking part of that scene in the books was the psychological dilemma, the twist and Maelor knowing Helaena chose him to die.
@negrosubversive
People often forget California was a red state until the 90s. Their PR is exceptional because this might just be the most antiblack state in the US. Saying this as a transplant.
Gentle reminder that pedos sexualize things that shouldn't be sexualized. That's why they're pedos.
There's a lot to be said about child privacy rights, but stigmatizing perfectly normal and healthy things because you're looking at it through a pedo's eyes is harmful.
Iโm being extremely serious when I say this that these videos are predatory and the people that are watching this are not all moms of TikTok and are unfortunately p********

Yeah like 2000 years ago. There isn't a single ethnic group on earth claiming lineage from the pre-Holocene period except Israelis. Jews from Europe are European. Deal.
I hate that Cressida doesn't get a happy ending. Why can't people who come from loveless families ever get some form of happiness or redemption? Girl was a victim of circumstance and did what she felt she had to do to be free.
#BRIDGERTON
My friend's great grandma (Nigerian) died at 115 some years ago and her birth date is verified by British colonial records from that time. Didn't see news of it anywhere. I learned quickly the West simply doesn't care to check African sources. They just assume we're lying lol.
To be fair, Kate didn't push Anthony on her. She tried everything in her power to sabotage their courtship. Anthony's competitive Scorpio ass was the one who treated courting Edwina like a game to be won just to spite her sister.
And once again I want us to acknowledge that as much as we love Kanthony, there was a betrayal. Edwina was fooled and bamboozled.
Imagine how you would feel being courted by a man your sister pushed onto you while they were busy falling in love behind your back? No man
@unrulyfatblack
@fkamorena
Kids shouldn't be posted, but only bc they can't consent to the use of their image. The stigmatization of normal behavior like bathing a baby is what's problematic. Suggesting that *anyone* interacting with that content are pervs promotes unnecessary shame & paranoia.

The West and Israel sponsored the genocide of over 3 million people from my ethnic group in Nigeria over the the course of 3 years to protect their oil interests. Stop trying to play oppression Olympics with Black people, be quiet & just stand in solidarity with us.
Perhaps if y'all left this in the Nigerian/Igbo community it started it in and minded your business, you wouldn't be so confused. We said Ice Spice looks Igbo bc her features give off the Igbo Aunty archetype. If you're not from the culture, you simply won't get it. ๐๐ซ
It's the most unassuming things too. That square dancing unit everyone is required to do in grade school came as a result of antiblackness. The 3rd stanza of the US national anthem celebrates the killing of slaves. The ice cream truck song is racist. We could go on lmao.
@Ethereal_ilo
As long as the majority of Nigerians continue to treat people inhumanely, they will continue to get the government they deserve. I just wish the undeserving didn't have to suffer with them.
Lovely words, but I'm tired of Black women being the magical mules who save everyone. After all these years of subjugation, I'd rather we be regarded as divine beings that everyone else must serve and protect.
@MiamiKerri
@stillnotziora
They resent their status as the uninteresting Desi rich kids in their conservative Desi family and see proximity to Black people (and acceptance in our community) as an escape. Moreover, a lot of them fetishize Black women & see us as something to explore. It's ultimately...
@MiamiKerri
@stillnotziora
I had so many run-ins with these types in college lol. It takes a while to notice the pattern, bc they come off as genuine, charming, and socially conscious to the inexperienced. But they're ultimately aligned with their class.
I love decipherimg people's tattoos. The symmetry here is significant & reminds me of the tree of life. Notice the martial/masculine iconography on his left & the graceful/feminine iconography is on his right + the fire below his breastbone with the tree growing into his heart.
Bantu culture doesn't have borders. It doesn't matter if a woman is in Lagos, Eastern Cape, or in between. If you give her enough fabric, she will wrap, twist, pin and tuck it to make magic.
The gele is one of multiple headwrap styles Bantu women crafted. There's no copyright

There are moms & mom-to-be who save stuff like this for inspo, just as ppl have done since the birth of the internet. I'm tired of y'all assigning disturbing implications to normal behavior. You're not raising awareness. You're being weird & unnecessarily triggering people.
Thereโs a rich lady on TikTok whose home is built on Tampa Bay, she literally has water on 2 of 4 sides of her home and sheโs refusing to evacuate. Police done gave out warnings and everything. She said sheโs not leaving bc her husband (a builder) built the home commercial grade

No one is saying that. They're saying there was no cinematic tension in the scene. Compare to Season 1 of Game of Thrones when Joffrey had all the Baratheon bastards unalived.

@fkamorena
It's the same energy as shaming little girls who wear skirts bc โit might attract p-dosโ. When in reality, p-dos will sexualize them no matter what they wear. It robs ppl of the innocence of normal behavior, and again, promotes unnecessary shame and paranoia.
There's a โlookโ a lot of Igbo women (especially older Igbo women) have. The rounded face, almond eyes, and red Annie church wig Ice Spice has is classically that. Look up Beverly Adaeze on TikTok and you'll see what we mean.
the Haitian thing is such an old school blood libel that it feels like a noticeable escalation. like Sartre described in his essay on antisemitism they know theyโre lying and theyโre enjoying it.

She had an excellent command of her voice at the age of 9. Her live performances of Whip My Hair prove that. There are a lot of rich kids and nepo babies who try to get into music and fail b/c they simply lack the talent and/or work ethic so your point makes no sense.
Gotta love how East African sociopolitics is 1000x messier than anything in West Africa.
We're surprisingly tame and get along better compared to the other parts of the continentโastounding when you consider the way Nigerians' mouths are set up lol.
Explaining Sudanese racism to outsiders is absurd. An islamized Sudanic dude darker than a Mwangi from Nyeri, and hair texture that meets Somali Jareer-test thinks he belongs on the same table as Saudis.
And drives his self-worth from crapping on Nilotes & Sub-Saharan Africans๐คฆ๐ฟ
TLDR P4:
cleo continues to tell her story of what happened with ice on tour.
ice spice's team told cleo that there 'wasnt enough budget' to buy cleo some food. all cleo wanted was a chicken salad , and ice spice and her team didn't allow her to eat... a basic human right.
For Americans, Latino is an ethnicity; for Latin Americans, Latino is our culture. That's the best way I can explain it. Which is why Taylor-Joy is more Latina to us than say J-Lo? You can talk to Taylor-Joy in Spanish about intrinsically Latin American things. J-Lo? Not at all.
I actually feel for Cressida and her situation. Colin is a dumbass for trying not to pay her. Not everyone has a supportive family that loves them. If she's this desperate to be free, ALLOW HER.
#BRIDGERTON
Back to my point about the animal facilities. Here is the common hippoโs living space as an example. It is spacious, green and entirely suitable for the species. Itโs unfair to select a few images to highlight cleanliness issues.
Youโre shocked that thereโs dirt and fauna
Because their ignorance can be dangerous and invalidating for the person with complex trauma. They tend to make assumptions they have no right to make simply b/c they're using their own or their friends' experiences as a frame of reference.
I donโt wish complex traumas on anybody & Iโm actually *very* happy there are people whoโve had largely positive life experiences; but relating with those people can be frustrating at times because it requires a level of patience that I sometimes donโt have, to be 100% honest.
I typically only take one photo of something. But when I snapped a photo of this cop car on fire during the George Floyd protests in LA someone ran through the frame when I pressed the shutter. So I broke my one photo rule and took this photo.

I know in Nigeria, a lot of the elderly stay in the village. Much healthier lifestyle over there. Close to nature, fresh air and fresh food, communal support, regular exercise from walking + daily routinesโall under the rich African sun. Very simple and stress-free life lol.

She said "because it was hell". It's literally a subordinating conjunction. Even if she did break up the sentence "IT" is a pronoun for HER OWN upbringing. ๐
How are you telling someone to learn grammar when you have neither grammar nor reading comprehension?

It's actually common af to miss drug tests. Athletes have to take dozens of them and it's very easy to miss a scheduled one with a busy schedule. Unclench.
โHurt people with behaviors such as people pleasingโ lmfaoo.
It's a fear response, you dolt. If a bear attacks you and you freeze, should I now chastise you for how you responded when your sympathetic nervous system was activated? Y'all don't know what trauma actually is.
This has the same energy as shaming little girls for wearing skirts because you're afraid it might attract p*dos.
It sucks that perverts exist but there's literally NOTHING you can do to keep them from fantasizing. All you're doing is promoting unhealthy paranoia and shame.
@Ame0baRepublic
โBadโ here could mean sexy. As in โthat's a bad bi-tchโ. So you're essentially calling Hamas sexy. Which means you support Hamas terrorism. Which means you are antisemitic!

There are 150 bookmarks on this. There isn't a recipe to reference. There isn't a hair style tutorial or information on the outfit and accessories. Please reconsider, parents. Stop sharing images of your kids for creeps to gawk at and save.
Simone Biles reacts to new footage showing Olympic judges missing an inquiry that could have resulted in her receiving another gold medal:

This discourse just proves to me that ppl think trauma responses are untouchable, so when itโs put out on the table to be critically examined, they feel hit.
Itโs not a free pass to hold onto behaviors that donโt actually serve you or anyone around you in the long run, beloveds!
And they always name Gabrielle Union and Kelly Rowland as the go-to examples of beautiful dark skinned women. They've been the go-to examples since EYE was a child. ๐

Dear, this is the most memorable part of the book. You can change a lot of things, but if you're going to fundamentally change the most shocking part of the series, you had better make sure it's executed better than the original. This failed on multiple fronts to do that.

We're ~100+ years behind when it comes to children's rights. Unfortunately nothing will change until we change the ownership mindset we have over children.

Same reason why we save YouTube videosโto come back to it. This content is probably very educational/inspirational for mothers and aspiring mothers (dads too). They would definitely want to save content like this. Others might just find it wholesome.
Moko was used to describe primarily Efik/Ibibio slaves that came from Calabar port. Looking at the masquerade style, I'd wager that's the origin. A lot of things get mistakenly attributed to Yoruba (โorishaโ) culture due to increased Yoruba scholarship in the 20th century.
MOKO JUMBIE custom started in West Africa originally but gravitated to the Caribbean with enslaved Africans. The Moko Jumbie derives its name from West African tradition. The โMokoโ is an Orisha (God) of Retribution. The term โJumbieโ was added post-slavery. The Moko Jumbie was

Fun fact: The word โokraโ came from the Igbo word แปkแปฅrแปฅ. It's the traditional name for that plant.
Tangent: If your family is into rootwork, their ancestors might have been Igbo. Igbo slaves were known to have a vast knowledge of plants and farming.
A mf lie! Okra, collard greens, watermelon etc came from Africa. Cornbread is Native American but majority of our dishes (candied yams, sweet potato pie, smothered chicken) was invented here and cannot be found in no damn England
