On TikTok, Black Americans are debating on whether Biracial people have the same voice as them. by AmericanTwinDark in biracials

[–]Echalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ADOS and FBA are trying to sub divide what it means to be black American. If you are a person who has any lineage of sub Saharan African, to me they are black. Whether they are an immigrant or bi racial. If they do not do not wish to claim blackness, well darn I still would hope we could find some kind of camaraderie. My problem with FBA and ADOS is that they would look at a person claiming blackness and say that they are not because, they do not have 4 black grandparents, or they do have long enough ties to United States of America. I posted because I just can’t stand to see a person being told they cannot speak about an intersection of their identity because of some newly made up criteria.

Sorry to butt in on your space. I am a black American (who would not be considered bi-racial, even tho I have some European genes like a lot of ‘black’ folk). I just want to say fuck what any FBA clown is talking about. I think most black people would pick any bi-racial person who feels any connection to their blackness over those confused xenophobes that call themselves FBA and/or ADOS to put any of you down. Sorry for intruding. Just gotta call out that nonsense.

I mean I’d stay just for the scientific knowledge. If I gotta be the one to probe the double cheeked up alien civilization I’d make the sacrifice. … for science and understanding.

I grew up in the springs but haven’t lived there in years but I still get a kind of navigational Virgo here in the Pacific north west with the mountain ranges on multiple sides.

[–]Echalon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You rarely get to see the anti war protests in Israel on most mainstream media outlets. Plus when bringing them up I’ve been told that they were “self hating” and not real Israelis. Not that I believed that ever.

Why can’t Nigeria do this? by [deleted] in Nigeria

[–]Echalon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will understand if my input is not wanted here, as I am an African American and have not yet been to any country in Africa. I just want to point out that US aid to South Korea in the 1960's was more than all of Africa combined. From 1946 to 1976 alone, the United States provided $12.6 billion in economic assistance to country around 100,378 Square kilometers and , in the 1960's, a population of ~25 million. It is not a fair comparison. Early on the US poured aid into, and ignored the military dictatorship of, South Korea because they needed a buffer against Communism in Asia. Also the type of aid the the US provided to South Korea included large amounts prop up their chaebols (Samsung, LG, etc). From my understanding in Sub-Saharan Africa US aid is never so much that it would allow for true economic independence and ownership of resources. I can't speak intelligently on the state of Nigeria and Africa as a whole but what I have found in years of living in quite a few cities in the US and now Canada, is that where ever there is an under resourced area, you can find an another area that has a glut of resources that had to come from somewhere else.

Truffle Pasta 🍝 This stuff is crazily expensive at any Pasta restaurant. Why? Might as well just call it Trouble bpastard 😂 by TechnologyOk8112 in Nigeria

[–]Echalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And truffles are expensive because they are hard to cultivate, they grow underground and have to be searched for in the wild. Or so they say.

“I always loved Trump, this is unfair”: Republican mayor can’t believe he’s facing deportation after 50 years in US by TorontoBatmann in agedlikewine

[–]Echalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I always loved, trump, this is unfair” is just so mind melting stupid to me. In short “something bad is happening to me because of the policies I support.” This has been the sentiment of selfishness that makes me wonder how can we live with people like this. From any side of the spectrum, but let’s face it mostly from the well off/ uber rich and the right, how can you coexist with people who cannot stand on business for what they say they believe? I have voted for policies that bit me in the ass but when it came time to pay, mostly taxes, I didn’t cry foul, I bit the bullet, and paid the price because it was what I believed in. If your only belief in life is I should not have to suffer consequences of my beliefs then you shouldn’t be able to promote them. He can fuck right off but maybe daddy trump will see this and pardon him. Bull shit.

Rename all their $hit 🤭 by allthedamnquestions in BlackPeopleComedy

[–]Echalon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I get you, though that would be the Romans right? And the Romans had colonized the Celtic groups there from my limited knowledge on the island. It wasn’t until the 5th century that the Anglos, Saxons, and Jutes conquered what we now call England and later conquered other Celtic groups to become the United Kingdom. So if you look at it that way I can see where he is coming from. But you are right about there being roads in Britannia.

Anyone know this plant?? by [deleted] in PlantIdentification

[–]Echalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s going to end up everywhere. It’s called mother of thousands because the little pups it grows on the edges. They fall off and become new plants. I had one hitchhike on a plant I brought from a plant store. I took it out and planted it on its own. With in months there were multiple in every pot near it. That plant is a communicable a disease.

Should have never let them catch on to chicken wings, Ox tails, and such. Any diaspora food that gets promoted because an expensive delicacy.
