Did the Natives also commit TRANSGLOBAL genocide+slavery based on a social construct then proceed to forcefully apply that social construct to reality+violently enforce a completely different culture+more? Conflict exists as a natural component of all life—not weaponized conflict
All the ad hominem attacks and they still haven’t proven me wrong. If y’all are so mad how abt you take it up with the people who begged for POC in the commonwealth to come and help YOUR economy and service-work.
@ihythreat
like it’s very telling actually. psychologists, sociologists, doctors, and therapists have been saying this for decades but they don’t wanna hear it…you’re a product of your environment

Ah yes, to compare—the biggest slave trade in history sparked from a social construct created by people to rationalize mistreatment to civil conflict.
am i trippin or is the Black Diaspora as a whole regressing a little bit? like the xenophobic thinkpieces, skits and takes that literally just divide and conquer, borderline white supremacist overlaps. at first i thought it was solely online…but ppl genuinely believe this..😬
If you made fun of Mychal, you’re a miserable, illiterate piece of Earth scum who deserves nothing but the worst. & to you Miss Mojo who used your platform to “acknowledge his dark energy” I hope you’re at least self-aware and can acknowledge your own. Hypocritical fuck.
I think it’s important specify “Gyal” in the context of outside the West Indian Patois it originates from. We don’t use it in a derogatory sense at all. I’d even stretch to say that if West Indians are being derogatory—YOU’LL KNOW cause you won’t be just called “gyal”.

i promise it tastes better straight out the coconut off an island…when i came to the states and tried box/can shit I was greatly disappointed😔😔😔
now when your kids struggle with an identity crisis and fly through life with the notion that their race doesn’t matter and the world proves otherwise…don’t say ppl didn’t warn you.

I know it may look like it, but the baby is actually just fine. Turtles can’t necessarily make facial expressions, they have a sort of “stress reaction”to most sensations. A good indicator, is the fact that the turtles limbs retract back into its shell indicating comfort.

The same people that either 1. suffered the same fate at some point or 2. were conquered regardless by way of the Berlin Conferece then mistreated and depleted of resources, culture, language.
Greenz ppl near and far, happy happy 50th independence day to us! Our history, our culture, our customs, everything about us is beautiful! Make our ancestors proud & happy today and forevermore💛💚❤️
I hate when Christians say this cause most practices in the Bible for the church are literally spiritual rituals and manifestations. Communion: a ritual, Baptism: a ritual, Prayer: manifestation…

-Colonization of Africa was literally signed off on in Germany
-German-Herero genocides of 1904-07 (Namibia)
-Carl Peters (one of many) mass murdering, rapist who poisoned Tanzania to the point of being discharged then continued to ruin Black lives under Hitler back in Germany

I just feel like at that point criticize every President, like, logically, what makes Obama any different than what other Presidents have done in the past in terms of “war crimes”. Nobody is necessarily disagreeing.
YES WAKE UP GRENADA CREOLE (Patois) TEA SO WE CAN START LEARNING AGAIN!!!🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩This was a Facebook page my mom and I got into but they haven’t been active for a while😩😩
Your definition of the Caribbean must only consist of Puerto Rico & USVI because those are the only islands you can go to w/o a passport as an American. Little white lie aside, cheap is damn sure not the word I’d use AT ALL.
let me double down EVEN MORE.
going to the caribbean is cheap and can be done easily with or without a passport
it’s not as easy getting to dubai, italy or greece, or some place that costs REAL coin with real flight times & airlines
& its a diff type of traveling versus an all

An 18 year old can’t even legally buy liquor or rent a car…please think abt why YOU feel like it’s okay for a 43 y/o and an 18 y/o that isn’t related to even constantly be in the same circles. Cause it’s sounding like you should probably be on a list too.
like…did words like ‘cacajay/jé’ ‘jab jab’ ‘bonjay/bonjé’ ‘lambie’ ‘planass’ “ligarou/lougarou’ just magically appear??? I need people to really start using their heads now.
There’s a post on IG of a Lucian girl comparing our creole to Grenadian creole and some Grenadians in the comments getting on nasty, essentially calling her a liar…all because they didn’t know that Grenadians once spoke creole.
The recipes MUST be passed down.
Real shit please don’t do this. Alcohol poisoning is very real, debilitating, and fatal in a lot of cases. Your liver will literally start self-destructing.

The performers are cosplaying Black culture, the type of braids they have in may look similar to braids in India but do they look like they’re cosplaying Indian culture? No, they’re “attempting” to wear these box braids in relation to Black culture hence the rest of the outfit.
a girl got up here and said black men don’t make her feel safe as a black woman….and her quotes were filled of slurs, de

You’re one the of the folks she’s referring too. Common sense should’ve kicked in by 2 kids but obviously not. Like MANY have said, everyone’s body is different and pregnant bodies are EXTREMELY vulnerable. While diet and hygiene may be a cause, that’s not the situation here.
and millennials (i love yall, but, accountability) i’m looking dead AT YOU—cause this is the main demographic fueling this shit. Gen Z damn sure ain’t perfect…but I will say we do a slightly better job at discernment within topics and historical context.

I had 2 pet turtles and i took a whole lot of animal science courses, so it comes with experience. I wouldn’t expect the average person to know this, but i do try to spread knowledge when i can.
y’all be shaving down perfectly fine teeth for veneers when all you needed was MAYBE some braces/invisalign and a teeth whitening treatment (which you also don’t need cause teeth aren’t supposed to be white either but…perfectionism has rotted y’all’s brains)

i just don’t understand not coming up with your own strolls that allude to the more cultural aspect of the frat….that was the whole purpose of NPHC strolls. To top it off…it looks lazy..🫤

I for one am a South African citizen, born and raised. Why would any sane black South African have an issue with us?
And you live in a “white” country. Wtf are you on about?
everyone hates West Indians and sexualizes/demonizes our culture till Carnival season come around…now everyone’s grandmother Jamaican and wan play mas. please hymc kindly.
Can’t believe we still have to explain this but:
AFRO-LATINO means BLACK…not “having distant black ancestors”, not being “mixed somewhere down the line with black”…..it means UNAMBIGUOUSLY BLACK. It means that when someone looks at you…they can recognize that you’re black.
I edited something for my coworker regarding race and identity. I asked if she was Black. She said no. So I suggested that she takes out she's Afro Latina then because that means something and now they're saying I was wrong because people can identity how they want. LMAO.
Not “geographically” but many West Indians (especially Jamaicans) were sent to work on the Panama Canal/or just migrated in great
#s
and they stayed. Culturally yes though. If you notice, even their accents & lexicon (English & Spanish) resemble Caribbean accents and lexicon.
how miserable can you be to genuinely hate on someone for holding puppies???😟daiz a diff level of misery only the oldest, most prude aunty in CARICOM can fathom
Women minding their business:
Pick me women: MAYBE IF YOU DUSTY WIG WEARING HOES TAKE THAT WIG OFF AND WASH YOUR MAN'S FEET WHEN HE WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR FROM A LONG DAY OF CHEATING HE'D COMPLIMENT YOU FROM TIME TO TIME.
the sad part is…those pages that were made to unify the Black community WHOLEHEARTEDLY contribute to the most divisive discord for the sole purpose of engagement and clout. it’s sickening…jarring even.
oh y’all are on a roll this week…you have no idea who this lady is—yet you sit up here and form yuh tinkin thumb fi chat foolishness??? you literally could’ve just made your post and gone abt your business.
so now that we all agree how 🔥🔥Grenada is…can we get back to gatekeeping ?…cause if prices for flights/accommodations start going up fr fr…ah go vex😣😣😣

I can’t wait to see what grade this “restaurant” (? can you classify it as that with no actual kitchen) gets from the Department of Health.
Mind you, the “exclusivity” in question was lost when yall started looking at it as a “high class” (or whatever tf) vacay spot instead of an island that people live and breathe.
I cannot keep up
-Yall don’t have time to read with your kids
-You’d save your man before your kid from a burning building
-Kids can’t have Stanley cups because they’re wants & you don’t cater to those
