‘Truth over narrative’ then straight to ‘Russian propaganda’. Slavery wasn’t a one-eyed ogre aimed at one group. It cut across continents, Barbary to the Atlantic. Narrowing it to one story is just another narrative.

Prof. PLO Lumumba reminds us of a period in African history that must NEVER be forgotten Between the 1500s and the 1860s, an estimated 12–12.5 million Africans were taken across the Atlantic Many were transported to various parts of the Americas by European colonial powers

Sympathy is warranted, but murder isn’t a private affair. It’s a public crime against order itself. Once it enters the realm of law, evidence follows. You don’t get to invoke justice and then redact the facts that make it possible.

The father of slain South African rap star Kiernan “AKA” Forbes has slammed the Madlanga Commission for airing footage of his son’s killing. The Commission showed footage depicting the murder of AKA last Friday during the testimony of Sergeant Fannie Nkosi. #eNCA #DStv403

Your ‘AI tell’ is just iPhone quotes. Sorry to burst your (AI) bubble.

As someone forced to contend with AI slop for a living, a quick tip for detecting when someone has outsourcing their thinking to AI and copy-pasted an argument from elsewhere: Look for the quotation marks. On Twitter, it's formatted differently. ' versus ’.

Yet they talk of the rule of law, never mind “international law”.

We don’t accept the court decision they will say. Yet they talk of rule of law

Mfecane wasn’t a footnote. It redrew demographics through war, displacement and consolidation. Denying that scale sanitises history. Continuous presence doesn’t imply static settlement, as peoples moved, absorbed and replaced one another.
The Counterhegemon@GillianSchutte1
Mfecane is often used to push the false idea that Africans only arrived here through violence in the 1800s and are therefore “also settlers.” Mfecane refers to a period of upheaval in the early 19th century among Nguni-speaking societies in what is now KwaZulu-Natal and surrounding regions. It involved conflict, movement and the consolidation of existing communities. Out of this period, the Zulu nation was formed under Shaka, who brought together Nguni-speaking groups already living in that region. He did not introduce a new population. Those communities were part of a much older African presence in southern Africa, going back thousands of years, connected to other Nguni peoples like the Xhosa, Swazi and Ndebele. British colonial writing and later Afrikaner nationalist histories both worked this terrain. At times they elevated Shaka as a formidable “nation-builder,” while at the same time exaggerating mfecane as widespread destruction. This framing cast African history as chaos and movement, then used that image to claim the land had been emptied or destabilised. That claim fed directly into justifications for land seizure, the Great Trek, and settler expansion. Africans are not settlers. @ErnstRoets @afriforum @DrKgabo_ @AfricanHub_

Be precise. What ‘certain group’? Vague insinuations are projection. You’re telling us more about your own frame than anything in reality.

He needs the ‘anti-apartheid’ label because without it you’re left with Cuban forces operating on foreign soil, aligned to Soviet interests in a proxy war. That doesn’t read like the good guys.
Alan MacLeod@AlanRMacLeod
Imagine posting this thinking it makes Cuba look like the bad guys, lol. Oh no, they're fighting Apartheid South Africa!

Not even the same claim. Biesheuvel was talking about a narrow ‘leadership-capable’ slice under his own (dodgy) criteria. You’re arguing population averages, then gesturing at outliers. Entirely different levels of analysis, quietly conflated.
cthulhucachoo@Cthulhucachoo
Whenever they gibber about race & IQ, I remember how the father of South African psychology, Simon Biesheuvel, believed that less than 4% of white South Africans are intellectually capable of leading "in (the) industry, commerce, government that is needed by a modern state."

Cato Manor was 2 months prior, not ancient history. Police had just seen colleagues killed by a crowd. Then you place very young officers in front of another mass gathering & expect perfect restraint. Doesn’t justify Sharpeville, but it explains the fear &breakdown that led to it
