Several Black women, mainly Africans, have been found dead in bodies of water in the UK 🇬🇧 over the past few weeks, months, and years, and it’s not making the news.

In 2007, a Spanish comedian named Juan Joya Borja sat down for a television interview in Seville, Spain and tried to tell a story about the time he worked as a kitchen porter at a beach restaurant. He could barely get through it. The story was simple. One night he tied twenty large cooking pans to sticks in the sand by the shore and left them in the shallow water overnight to soak and clean. When he came back the next morning, the tide had taken nineteen of them out to sea. Only one was left. His wages were docked to pay for the replacements. The story is not especially funny written down. But the way he told it, interrupting himself every few seconds with a high-pitched wheezing laugh he could not control, toothless and bent double in his chair, was something else entirely. His nickname was El Risitas. It means Giggles. The clip sat quietly on YouTube for eight years. Then in 2015 someone added fake subtitles making it look like he was a designer mocking the new MacBook. Five million views in a month. The format spread everywhere. Politicians, tech companies, sports scandals. His face became one of the most used meme templates on the internet. His laughing close-up became a Twitch emote called KEKW used over 400 million times. When he became seriously ill in 2020 and needed his leg amputated, fans who had never met him raised over fourteen thousand euros for his medical care and a wheelchair. He sent a video thanking them. He passed away on April 28, 2021. He was 65.

DNA is really so crazy. Have y’all heard that story about the woman who had a baby with her husband, but when he got a DNA test, it said he wasn’t the father? The mother insisted he was the dad, so they repeated the test multiple times, and it kept saying the same thing. It later came out that, based on the DNA results, he wasn’t the father… but the uncle of the child. Which made no sense because he was an only child. After more extensive testing, they discovered the husband was actually a chimera, meaning he had absorbed his twin in the womb and carried two sets of DNA. So basically… the baby was biologically his twin brother’s child, even though he was the one who fathered it.

This is a false narrative! 1. There are several instances that prove the complicity of the Asante state and its ruling elite. Take this instance: 2. When the Dutch were expanding their hold in the East Indies, they initially recruited paid soldiers through Elmina chiefs, but supply ran short. 3. To sustain their wars in Indonesia, they turned to the inland Gold Coast. 4. Under Asantehene Osei Yaw Akoto (1824–1838) and Kwaku Dua I (1834–1867), war captives—mainly Gonja and Dagomba—were sold to the Dutch via Elmina. The Asante state was paid for this. 5. Shipped to Java, these captives became known as the Belanda Hitam (Black Dutchmen): former slaves turned soldiers, some ranking above indigenous Indonesians. 6. Today, descendants of these men can be found in places like Purworejo in Indonesia and around The Hague in the Netherlands. 7. A few returned and settled in Elmina, in a quarter still called Java. Today, a small museum marks their memory. They came back with Dutch names: Ulzen, Vanderpuye, Bartels, Vroom, Plange, and many others. 6. So no, this wasn’t just coastal. When demand rose, the Asante state became a key supplier. #Peace!

These new fans don’t know s*** man

A Gabonese woman imitates how Ghanaians sound to her when they speak.

THIS IS COOL: Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers covers Frank Ocean’s ‘Thinkin Bout You’ on bass & trumpet with a live orchestra Was not expecting that but it sounds 🔥

A Nigerian lady urges Africans to continue and start using mud or clay in building houses and infrastructure, as it has more advantages in Africa than cement and concrete.

French judge Nicolas Gouyou, who issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu at the ICC: • Visa and Mastercard have blocked all my cards • I cannot make any purchases • I am a judge, yet treated like a criminal • Judges, lawyers, and politicians are being intimidated • A colleague told me my name won’t be removed from the blacklist until Trump’s term ends • Despite intervention by the French president, U.S. authorities have not responded

This whole scenario had me cracking up. "Byw... Checkmate, sistuh!" lol

I strongly believe how you say a thing is as important (maybe more important) as what you are saying. Which is why it was important for these illustrations to speak in Accra's own visual language.

Realest shit I ever seen

The African - Caribbean Economic Alliance

This young lady was called Phillis because that was the name of the ship that brought her, and Wheatley, the name of the merchant who bought her. She was born in Senegal 🇸🇳. In Boston, the slave traders put her up for sale: “She's 7 years old! She will be a good mare!” She was felt naked by many hands. At thirteen, she was already writing poems in a language that was not her own. No one believed that she was the author. At twenty, Phillis was questioned by a court of eighteen so-called enlightened White men in robes and wigs. She had to recite passages from Virgil and Milton and verses from the Bible, and vow that the poems she composed were not copied. From a chair, she underwent her lengthy examination until the court approved her: she was a woman, she was Black, she was enslaved, but she was a poet. Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American writer to publish a book in the United States 🇺🇸
