Glad Keir Starmer's Labour government is prioritising stopping musicians from performing. Wouldn't want them distracted from their complicity in Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people and an illegal war on Iran. What a pathetic excuse of a Prime Minister.

It all began in the 1800s. Back then, black people made up over a third of Argentina's population. Today that figure is less than 0.4%. But this didn't happen naturally. When slavery was officially abolished in 1813, Argentina's Black population began a steep and dramatic decline. The government had a vision: a white, European nation. And they built a machine to make it happen. Two forces are most often cited. First, the Paraguay War (1865–1870), in which Black soldiers served on the front lines and suffered significant casualties. Second, the yellow fever epidemic of 1871, which tore through Buenos Aires' densest, poorest neighborhoods, where Black Argentines were concentrated. But leading historians argue the real engine of erasure was ideological, not biological. They called it blanqueamiento, a term that translates to whitening. The government flooded Argentina with millions of European immigrants. As the Black male population shrank, Black women married into mixed-race families. Their children were reclassified. Within two generations, descendants could pass as white, and the census helped them do it. By 1887, the Buenos Aires census recorded Black residents at just 1.8% of the population. By 1895, the national census dropped racial categories entirely. Officials declared: "It will not take long for the population to be completely unified into a beautiful new white race." The man at the center of this ideology was President Domingo Sarmiento (1868–1874). He wrote in 1848: "What is to be done with such Blacks, hated by the white race? Slavery is a parasite..." During his presidency, he championed European immigration and the whitening of Argentina as national progress. In 1905, a Buenos Aires magazine captured what the project had achieved: "The race is losing its original colour... The African tree is giving white flowers." In 2018, Argentina's president stood at Davos and told the world: "We are all descendants from Europe." Even though this was a lie, nobody pushed back. For all they care, it was just a “white lie.”

Chelsea should be so proud. They “beat” us 1-1 in the league. They “outplayed” us 2-3 in the first leg. They “held us” to a 1-0 loss in the second leg. Congrats 🤣👏🏻
