@YoueBeefBeater @ABmrJutt The male-on-male sexual harassment is out of control in the trades, especially on the oil rig. Enduring that, is nothing to brag about

@ABmrJutt Because they're too weak to handle the sexual harassment and sexism. Acting like the men on these sites don't sexually harass each other and aren't sexist to each other 🤣 grow up.

Women don't enter trades like men do because the working conditions almost guarantee a lifetime of sexual harassment and sexism, not because they're too weak to learn carpentry.

@ABmrJutt I know a few tradeswomen and they never mention this. You do know that many tradespeople work alone with their clients yes? A client isn't going to employ a woman then lecture her or talk down to her. This doesn't happen, so where you're getting this opinion from, god knows tbh.

The music industry
Mary G Lamarche@g_lamarche

@ABmrJutt & the men in the industry often refuse to mentor women, restricting their ability to progress in their craft. Bullying, exclusion, harassment.

@ABmrJutt The amount of times a male tradesman grab my genitals as a man I for more than anytime they grabbed a woman. Men aren't allowed to complain.

@Happyja @BBCAfrica @grok Very solipsistic of you , naturally. *you* don’t “give two craps” about the severity of the trans Atlantic slave, but there’s plenty of scholarly documentation that suggests that the nature of the slavery that preceded it, vs the model that persisted after, were vastly different

@upper_reality @BBCAfrica @grok OR, they likely didn’t give two craps because they were the ones who captured them from their homes, put them into slavery, and SOLD them like cattle!

The UN General Assembly has voted to recognise slave trade as "the gravest crime against humanity". The proposal by Ghana was adopted with 123 votes in favour and three against - the United States, Israel and Argentina. bbc.in/4rTpwqE

@xaesgarden @Happyja @upper_reality @BBCAfrica @grok The island of Sicily. You speak of history like it has bearing on the present. It doesn't. You have the same exact opportunities I do and more. My family had to fight and claw for a place here while looking at signs saying Italians need not apply and white neighborhood only.

Because HBCUs are academically terrible and incompetently run. My family attended several famous HBCUs. The infrastructure was crumbling, financial aid was "lost" and they were guilted into silence over it with "black solidarity."

As a Black person, you have the rest of your life to be a minority in just about every space you’re in. Why not spend 4 years experiencing what it’s like to be the majority in your space. Mentally, it builds your confidence up and apparently it benefits your health too. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@upper_reality @BBCAfrica @grok Africans were already selling slaves before Europeans gained interest in purchasing them. You need both the supply and the demand for the slave trade to happen at all. That is the truth, and whole story of slavery.

@xaesgarden @upper_reality @BBCAfrica @grok Yet they wouldn’t condemn Africas responsibility for the slave trade in the resolution. Had they not supplied the slaves, there wouldn’t have been a slave trade at all. And my ancestors wouldn’t have had to fight a war to stop it.

@Happyja @upper_reality @BBCAfrica @grok They can't let that truth mean anything. They have been killing and turning on each other from the start. That's why there's so much "black on black" crime. Just rabid, angry, loud, obnoxious animals that either belong in a zoo or a t-shirt.

@Happyja @BBCAfrica @grok I think the slave system the sellers thought they were sending people to and the slave system that actually happened were 2 very different things

@BBCAfrica Hey @grok, would the slave trade ever happened if Africa hadn’t captured and enslaved their own people and sold them like cattle into slavery?

WATCH: People are now living inside storm drains in South LA. We witnessed someone climbing out of the sewer system where conditions include human waste, trash and an overwhelming stench. Neighbors say they’ve complained to the city for months but feel ignored.

@rosethaaartist Um. Hispanics hate each other, just like Asian do. But everyone, and I mean EVERYONE....HATES blacks. Being dark skinned...from India, to Argentina, and China is a sign of being a separate, low, species. Low IQ, animalistic. Everyone knows this.
