“Living in the OC was tough as a young, Black, African kid. I was a token, a play thing, or something to be made fun of. I internalized a lot of that hatred, and it took me another decade to unlearn.” - Suzanne Mungalez

One thing a colonizer is gonna do is colonize. This book about a white american who joined the colonial Kenyan police reserve to fight the Land and Freedom Army (MAU MAU), is an example of that.
Curated a list of articles and videos about the histories and experiences of Afro-Palestinians:

Gaza's archives are gone. These archives documented a history deeply rooted long before immigrants from Eastern Europe arrived in our country.
The Israeli occupation destroys the central archive of #Gaza municipality, executing thousands of historical documents, and deliberately razing all life forms; erasing the city and its #history. It is worth noting that the archive holds #documents more than a hundred years old.

The police invaded @chechebooks at our solidarity meeting and arrested 3 of our Comrades who are now at Muthangari Police station. Call for their release. This is illegal and unconstitutional!

Black people in Tunis, both Tunisian & non, have reported being scared to leave their homes following racist violence in recent days, while many associations have urged them to stay home for their safety. Here people cheer the anti-racism march underway from their balcony
