Black Japanese Generals celebrating their victory over Russia in 1907. They are of Ainu ancestry. The Ainu were of African descent who migrated and settled in ancient Japan. You may have read in history about Japan defeating Russia in a brilliant naval / military campaign at Port Arthur. Well, here they are.

Picture this. An investor from the U.S. buys an abandoned building in Puerto Rico for $108k. Holds it for 7 years untouched and lists it for $360k.
In the meantime, locals illegally enter and use it to cook for ppl after the hurricane.
The “squatters” get to keep the building.

let me talk to you about SARA GÓMEZ, in @readlux
Sarita had a sharp tongue, knew her Frantz Fanon front to back, smoked regularly despite her asthma, carried on a few choice love affairs, and was Cuba’s only Black woman filmmaker during her lifetime 🖤

In the 1970’s Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 Haitian 🇭🇹 songs could be heard on the radio, there were black fests with leading black Dominican musicians and entertainers, the Senegalese 🇸🇳 ballet performed in Santiago.
All things that would be met with intense xenophobia today.

Dominican poet Blas Jimenez was traveling to the U.S. where he was told by customs and immigration in Santo Domingo to list his race as “indio oscuro” (dark Indian) he refused instead proclaiming that he was black!
🌴🇵🇷 #Latinegras deleted scenes… here are some things that didn’t make the final cut… this was one of the intros and what I think about it now. This scene was shot at Plaza Colon in #ViejoSanJuan #PuertoRico #filmmaker #documentary #LoveTheSkinYoureIn
