@InchOrInfinity Yeah and it'll help achieve independence so on some level i get it. But when independence comes I'm pretty confident we'll see not too dissimilar things to whats occuring down south

@kaf1888 There's a lot of exceptionalism in pro indy spaces for sure. Like being pro-indy & holding bigoted views of any kind are somehow mutually exclusive

Reform making gains is just a symptom. We need to tackle the disease. People are struggling. Angry. Disenchanted & disenfranchised. This is when politics of hate & fascism have always flourished. It gives a convenient scapegoat whilst the real profiteers bleed us dry.

@InchOrInfinity Have to agree to disagree there bc from my pov, the indy movement at its core isn't knee jerk its usually quite considered. Definitely agree about the vacuum part thats why i find it funny when people think indy will rid the problem because it "can't happen here"

@kaf1888 I think it's knee jerk anger. It's my first reaction as well tbh. But this hasn't happened overnight or in a vacuum & a party doesn't get that popular on extremists alone. Somewhere along the way "normal" people have been sucked in until their baseline has shifted dramatically

@InchOrInfinity Yeah i definitely think that's true to an extent but its also been pretty much the backbone of the independence movement outside of twitter too imo

@kaf1888 I think it's just twitter over simplifying tbh. You can't really do long in depth critical takes on here & the algorithm rewards simple extremes

@XONYT_ "White man's nightmare"...🤣

This imbecile, "imbecile" is because that's exactly what he is, does nothing but omit Africans' involvement in TAST and worships Africa at the expense of his own Caribbean identity. He absolutely has no clue how the average British-Caribbean who knows about him, cannot even stand him. For one, the Swedes who built Cape Coast Castle, built the castle with the approval of the Africans there, within this case was the Fante people in Ghana. In fact, the Fante chiefs were so cognizant of the Europeans that they made sure that they would not outrightly own the castle, but merely lease it for 99-years, fearing that they may threaten their soverignity. Not only did the Fante people acquire wealth from trading other Africans to Europeans, who passed through these dungeons, but they also acquired wealth from the castles since Europeans had to pay taxes for having them alongside in the form of rent. The way this dullard infantilises Africans and absolves them honestly furiates me.

@DOmowale And surely the decrease in black radical politics amongst the community in general? Seems it became about the individual struggle rather than the collective, leading to "black capitalist conscious rap" that ends in just money worshipping and club hits

The problem with "conscious" hip-hop is that a lot of the rappers from that age weren't actually living what they were rapping about. That's part of why the movement didn't last. It was built on weak foundations.

@PresidentAdaeze Said it before and I'll say it again, there is an infantilisation of the white working class. Many are aware of where their material conditions are coming from but they would rather remain there to see black people have less than them.

“Class solidarity” but poor whites voted for trump and are anti black, anti immigrant, yall need to research the interest convergence theory I been telling yall that for over a decade lol

@blixberrie Its almost as if all of this is tied to white supremacy rather than some jewish conspiracy...

Some of you are very much failing to understand that an anti semite can be a Zionist. Hence why the Nigel Farage who is Israel’s bitch but was singing Nazi songs in school would defend Kanye West. It literally tracks

Kanye said “sorry” and went straight to y'all pockets, and what y'all do? Open them wide. Just stupid. This is how DJT got elected twice. Y'all proudly reward bad behavior but never want to admit it. Y'all stand for nothing and fall for everything. Pitiful.

@ShakaRaSpeaks I really really hope that these movements are just significant on social media because some seem so far down the rabbit hole. Any idea if their movements translate to a bigger on the ground collective?

A lot of #ADOS/#FBA idealouges reposts this with outrage. None of them actually engage/refute the argument. The idealouges took a UN Resolution, made it about 🇺🇸 exclusively, when 🇺🇸 wasn't mentioned. Then complained when ppl reply to what they say about 🇺🇸 and slavery. 😂

@kehinde_andrews Thoughts on seemingly increasing racist incidents/sentiments in Ireland and Scotland? Appears an obsession with idealising these nations (even blk people) due to their own relationships with England and ability to be pro-palestine. And any plans to come to Scotland?

Mailbag episode this week. Drop any questions...

@Alan_Morrison67 Surely his impressive attacking metrics come under nancy? Could see cvancara performing as well under nancy and actually finishing chances

Kenny has by far the most impressive attacking metrics of all the strikers Celtic have rotated this season Many consider him not good enough but it is relative So he was loaned out to Bolton......

Good illustration of why class and race are a double hurdle: A 35-year old Black TV personality, seemingly fluent only in 'road', and displaying a similar grasp of affairs to Skinner, wouldn't be platformed on Question Time. Except as Dizzee Rascal on Newsnight style parody.

@alopeciabussy @idcwhatever_bro @ScionofCulture Exactly! By their logic these same politicians will openly be against Western agents too 😂

@idcwhatever_bro @ScionofCulture oh yes because a country ruled by corrupt politicians is definitely going to go against a country they are indebted to… 👍🏿

A Chinese mining company spills massive acidic waste in the Zambia rivers.

@Alan_Morrison67 Can i ask is this xG purely under MON? Because if it includes Nancy then I'm not sure its the most fair comparison

Some basic Non Pen xG to support: Kenny 0.72 Cvancara 0.42 Adamu 0.40 Maeda 0.24

Unpopular opinion on the Celtic context of this. Bring back Johnny Kenny from loan for the rest of the season - Benham is bang on.

@RakeemShabazz Is it not a case of what you'd consider to be good conscious hip hop rather than it not being conscious hip hop at all?

What do y’all consider conscious hip hop? Because that term seems to get thrown around as much as “classic” does? What makes an artist, song, or album conscious? The context of this question is the discussion on if J Cole is a conscious artist or not.

Some irony in talking about class disparities in the first tweet but the white upper class guy who makes light of the situation isn't "punching down". Is Jack Whitehall really the guy who aims at the institutions or did he see a moment to make himself go viral? C'mon man 🤣

recognising how racist Scotland is.

with each other across different nations and learns the nuances, differences and similarities of their living conditions. 'Diaspora wars' can be good for checking each other but only if it leads to stronger solidarity. It can only be a good thing that a Black American is

From all this BAFTA talk this can be really positive. Irony of Black "Brits" (usually meaning English) talking about Black Americans think they're the centre of blackness (truth to it) is that they often do the same with Black Britishness and exclude other areas of the...
