@sincilty @akua_obeng42840 You call people slave? You don't just use it to describe ppl who are or were slaves? If you are using it for any group of ppl you don't like, it sounds derogatory. I am just saying that we don't have those kinds of terms for ethnic groups.

@AlayaLab @akua_obeng42840 same could be said for madow [black], jareer [coily hair] and adoon [servant/master/slave], these words weren’t made in a derogatory manner and somalis use it amongst themselves

I want black people to treat the words 'jareer', 'adoon', 'madow' & 'barya' like the N word, even if the words themselves are not offensive in origin, it's undeniable that they are always used in a derogatory manner against black people. That's just the N word in another language

First time watching love island s5 and wow this Queen! #Loveislandusa

@sincilty @akua_obeng42840 Onipa tuntum lol, it just translates to a dark skinned person?? Those are twi words we literally use for ourselves. It's like saying bibiini.

@akua_obeng42840 keep that energy up for west african words that aren’t “offensive in origin” but should be treated like the nword akata, omo-ireke, manjaco, onipa tuntum

@CameramanAustin @one54africa @ginayashere @GodfreyComedian @Akbar_Gbaja Most people in Hollywood are lighter skinned or white even when representing people of color. No, it's not the same. It would be like saying a creator wants a black woman to play a role, but studios insist on a ww, and the creator says no, they want a bw. Would that be racism?

@AlayaLab @one54africa @ginayashere @GodfreyComedian @Akbar_Gbaja I don’t know whose show it is… but my point is, if people keep saying no when producers say they want light toned actresses, doesn’t that count as colorism against them too?

"I was like NOPE! I fought them I was like she has to be a dark skinned Nigerian woman or this show ain't going to work." - Gina Watch on YouTube: youtu.be/v2AIC-8s5ck?si… And listen on iHeart: iheart.com/podcast/1119-o…

The studio will never forget

@CameramanAustin @one54africa @ginayashere @GodfreyComedian @Akbar_Gbaja It's her show. What preference? Does it go one way this "preference"?

@one54africa @ginayashere @GodfreyComedian @Akbar_Gbaja But isn’t this colorism against light skinned people… she intentionally used the word “fought”, what if it was just a preference?

I feel like this show is soooo slow. When is anything going to be exposed? It's been a while since it started, too. #jagadhatri

@Ayutcre @akua_obeng42840 A lot of white people fight to uphold white supremacy and were quite happy with Jim Crow. The issue with white people and racism goes beyond slavery and manifests in many ways

@akua_obeng42840 Most white people are also not descendents of slave traders, but you guys don't really seen to care about that and just label all whites as responsible for slavery.

I hope you know that most continental Africans are not descended from slave sellers, the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade is very complex & messy because a huge number of slave-sellers got captured and brought on those ships, it's okay to admit that ya'll just hate Africans.

@Chosen1Dreams @akua_obeng42840 Do you have evidence for the president of Ghana being descended from slave traders? If anything, his ethnic group were the ones being sold.

@akua_obeng42840 This is false. Only a small number of slave sellers were eventually trafficked and that is even documented with the specific tribes. The President of Ghana is a descendant of slave traders. Most Yoruba and Igbo people today are indeed descendants of slave traders.

my design vs. real life; do we like? 🥺

@aleospov @Afroditea_ @quitten__ Lol, they wanted her to be running around pulling men for chats. It sucks a little that Jalen was stopped from pursuing her, too. They kept coming, and she kept choosing.

@Afroditea_ @AlayaLab @quitten__ what was she supposed to do? crash out? or stop him from exploring? especially when he was doing it respectfully. also you say this like chelley wasn’t also exploring the option available in the villa

When Chelley never had this problem>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
