@wells_sl @WSJ Not true. Africa is made up of 54 countries, and not all of them are considered third world, which by the way is a pejorative and colonialist outdated term. Furthermore, your comment illustrates a lack of understanding about post colonialism and its current day ramifications.

@WSJ AFRICA DOESN’T HAVE ANY BEST AND BRIGHTEST! Otherwise, Africa would not still be a 3rd world country!

Student visas for Africa’s best and brightest were canceled by the Trump administration, leaving empty seats and broken dreams. on.wsj.com/4bQHsMI

@DolceCucina3 @WSJ What a thing to say.

@WSJ LOL, “Africa’s best and brightest” are the equivalent of a r£tard with average IQ<70. We don’t need africans and NEVER shouldve allowed jews to bring/sell africans in America. We need to deport the africans already here back NOT bring more #DeportThemAll

Newest member of the family, adopted from shelter! 🐶 Any suggestions for a name?

@RepublicanSpurs @Auntyadaa I don’t know if it happened in real life to the person she’s supposed to be portraying. But it is not us a woke BS. It happened. All you have to do is to read a history book. But, if it goes against what you want to believe I can understand why you would label it to be woke.

@Auntyadaa That never happened. Utter woke bullshit playing to your victim narrative.

I can watch this movie over and over again😖

@C_C402loveyou @LongTimeHistory Does it matter if she’s not using the words against the kids??? It is still very inappropriate. When you normalize and make excuses for people using words like these you make it acceptable to be racist.

@LongTimeHistory She is not using it against the kids in class they are literally having a discussion and catching her saying it to get their little 15 mins of fame bye

Math teacher caught on camera—using worst slurs against Blacks & Latinos. Teacher claims it's no different than using the word "asparagus." "My teacher just said the N-word and the B-word," says student. Then she doubles down to repeat the N-word & B-word racial slurs in full. The incident occurred in Dixon, California. #DemsUnited

@T100046305 @archeohistories Really? Or is that their achievements have historically been erased and attributed to others— you know to further propagate the lie.

@archeohistories Black people especially western blacks, have such an identity crisis they look to claim anything that fits their current state, some say they are Moors, some israelites, some the original native Americans, some say they are ancient Egyptians, everything but sub saharan Africa.

The Moors were a group of North Africans who conquered and ruled Spain for nearly 781 years, from 711-1492 CE. They entered the Iberian Peninsula, Spain, after crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, passing through Morocco... African Moors were known for their exceptional architecture and engineering skills, and they built numerous impressive structures, such as universities and mosques in Spain, which still stand to this day. They made significant contributions in various fields, including math, medicine, chemistry, philosophy, astronomy, botany, bricklaying and history. The African Moors were the first to introduce the use of Arabic numbers in Europe, which are still used today. They also made significant advances in medicine, developed treatments for various diseases and created medical textbooks that were widely used. In addition, the African Moors were skillful astronomers and developed advanced techniques to measure time and determine the position of celestial bodies. They also made important contributions to botany, introducing new plants in Spain and creating gardens admired by many. African Moors were also known for their expertise in bricklaying and built numerous impressive structures, such as Granada's Alhambra, considered one of the most beautiful and impressive buildings in the world. Finally, they also wrote extensively about their history, creating numerous historical texts that are still being studied today. 📷 : a painting of a figure often associated with the "Moorish" period or culture, particularly in the context of European orientalist art. This style of art, popular in the late 1800s, often depicted North African or Middle Eastern figures in elaborate attire, sometimes with a romanticized or exoticized view.  The term "Moor" in English usage historically referred to inhabitants of Roman province of Mauretania, and later, to the Muslim population of al-Andalus (Spain and Portugal), who were of mixed Arab, Spanish, and Amazigh (Berber) origins. The figure in the painting is dressed in a green head covering, a gold-colored garment, and carries weaponry, including a sword and a pistol, along with a staff.  Such depictions, sometimes referred to as "Blackamoors" in popular European decorative arts, represented African males in exotic attire in various art forms like paintings, statues, and jewelry.  #archaeohistories

@robberg15 @archeohistories Did you read the article? It did not say that Moors were black, it specifically said African Moors which indicates there were different races of Moors and this article is talking about African Moors.

@archeohistories Why the fake history? Moors were not black. They were largely Arab Muslims who had moved into N. Africa. Then later violently conquered and colonized parts of Spain. Spain fought back for centuries. Now Muslims again seek to conquer Spain.

@Mr_Husky1 You look beautiful. Congratulations. Your daughter is so wrong. You do you♥️

I’m getting married at seventy-two, and my daughter told me I was wasting money on a wedding dress. We were standing in the kitchen, her arms crossed, when she said that at my age no one expects anything elegant, and asked why I couldn’t just wear something I already had in my closet—especially since this would be my third marriage. What she didn’t know was this: at my first wedding I was nineteen and pregnant; I wore my mother’s dress, which smelled like a closed wardrobe. At the second, I was forty-one and completely broken-hearted; I got married at city hall in a beige suit, because I had stopped believing in love. But this time I want lace. I want crystals. I want to feel hopeful again. I want to believe that hope isn’t a privilege reserved only for women in their twenties who haven’t yet learned what it means to fall. I found a secondhand white dress for one hundred euros, and when I tried it on, I didn’t see tired skin or the weight I can no longer lose. I saw a woman who survived two divorces, raised three children on her own, and still believes that love can work. I embellished it by hand with small sky-blue crystals and appliqués I sewed myself, sitting at the table with my glasses slipping down my nose, proving to myself that I’m still worth this kind of care. Now I was looking for an idea for my hair. I didn’t want a veil—not at my age—and every image I found showed girls who could have been my granddaughters. So I asked other women like me for advice, and I was flooded with responses from women in their sixties and seventies, telling me about fresh flowers, vintage clips, and faces no longer trying to look young, just real. I ordered small pearl hairpins and tried them with a soft, loose updo. Yesterday my daughter saw me and started to cry. She said I looked beautiful. And she apologized—for making me feel like I didn’t deserve this anymore. I told her that everyone deserves to feel beautiful at least once in their life. Even—and especially—those of us with gray hair, who have already made our mistakes.

@Mr_Husky1 I would explain that his behavior was not appropriate, ask what he could do differently, and what he thinks his consequences should be. If his answer is insufficient I would come up with my own consequences and therapy would be part of my action plan.

@KeoniCouch @archeohistories No, it doesn’t.

@archeohistories Lol I think this messes with the whole" black people created the world" narrative 😂

In China’s Gansu province, the village of Liqian has long puzzled historians. Locals with green eyes and fair hair are believed to be descendants of lost Roman soldiers from 2,000 years ago. DNA shows traces of European ancestry, keeping this East-meets-West mystery alive. For decades, Liqian has occupied a strange crossroads between legend and scholarship. The theory traces back to the first century BCE, when Roman forces under Crassus were defeated by the Parthians at the Battle of Carrhae in 53 BCE. Ancient accounts suggest some captured Roman soldiers were relocated eastward as mercenaries or border guards. From there, a long and indirect journey toward Central Asia and eventually the fringes of Han China is not as impossible as it sounds. The Han dynasty maintained extensive contact across the Silk Road, exchanging goods, envoys, and sometimes soldiers with western regions. Chinese historical texts describe encounters with foreign fighters who used unfamiliar shield formations resembling Roman testudo tactics. This detail, while debated, helped fuel the idea that a small group of Roman prisoners or descendants may have been absorbed into frontier settlements like Liqian. Genetic studies conducted in the late twentieth and early twenty first centuries revealed traces of western Eurasian ancestry among some villagers, though not enough to conclusively prove Roman lineage. Still, Liqian stands as a reminder that the ancient world was far more interconnected than we often imagine. Empires did not exist in isolation. People moved, adapted, and blended across thousands of miles, sometimes leaving behind mysteries that history never fully resolves. Liqian later embraced the legend so strongly that the town built Roman style statues and tourist sites, turning an unresolved historical hypothesis into a living piece of cultural identity. © Reddit #archaeohistories

@choktrops @KeoniCouch @archeohistories What? No one can invent water!

@KeoniCouch @archeohistories Black people still can't invent water in Africa.

@archeohistories I feel like a lot of people still think this way.

After slavery ended, Brazil launched a campaign called blanqueamiento, meaning to "whiten" the country. Between 1880 and 1930, over 4 million Europeans were brought in and interracial marriage was encouraged to reduce Black and Indigenous ancestry over time. After slavery was abolished in Brazil in 1888, the country’s leaders feared the newly freed Black majority and sought to reshape the nation’s population. They promoted “blanqueamiento” (whitening), a state policy rooted in racist ideology that aimed to reduce the presence of Black and Indigenous people through immigration and mixing with Europeans. Between 1880 and 1930, Brazil encouraged the arrival of more than 4 million European immigrants, mainly Italians, Portuguese, Germans, and Spaniards, to work on plantations and in cities. The government believed that interracial marriage would gradually “dilute” African and Indigenous ancestry, producing a whiter population over generations. This policy was even supported by intellectuals of the time, who framed it as a path to “progress” and “modernization.” 📷 : a 1895 painting "Ham's Redemption" (A Redenção de Cam) by Spanish-Brazilian artist Modesto Brocos.  The painting illustrates 19th Century theory of "whitening" (branqueamento) through miscegenation, which was a controversial racial ideology prevalent in Brazil. It depicts a Black grandmother, her mixed-race (mulatta) daughter, the daughter's white Portuguese husband, and their white child. The grandmother, with hands raised, is seen as thanking God for her white grandson, symbolizing the perceived "redemption" of her lineage from the "curse of Ham". The work won the Gold Medal at the National Fine Arts Exposition in Rio de Janeiro in 1895 and is a classic illustration of the racist vision of the era. © Reddit #archaeohistories

@RonDeSantis The truth hurts.

America 250 provides us with the opportunity to reflect on the American Revolution and why the Founding Fathers pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to establish a new nation conceived in liberty. It‘s a shame to see this moment used to further a political agenda by misrepresenting the historical record.

@Ruelfalyhtomit2 @UFWupdates It isn’t easy. The system is broken. Show some compassion. It is obvious your comment comes from a place of privilege.

@UFWupdates You can still have farm workers....why not try legally getting a work visa, start process by learning English (America's first language) learn the laws that govern a LAWFUL country, and then taxpayers will gladly help When you come from a lawless society you grow tolerant to

@sayinglesss @AdamSchefter Charlie Kirk was not a football player. Your comment doesn’t even make sense. How often does the NFL hold my moment of silence for people who aren’t affiliated with football?

@AdamSchefter but they didn’t hold a moment of silence for American hero Charlie Kirk? shameful.

The NFL sent a memo to all teams Friday, asking them to hold a moment of silence Sunday as part of the pre-game ceremonies in memory of the late Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland. The moment of silence will be followed by a message read in all NFL stadiums that says, If you or someone you know is struggling or needs emotional support, please call or text 988. The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available 24-7 to help.
