#the people of sudan and congo are black so yeah

While we’re spreading the word about Palestine, free Sudan and free the Democratic Republic of the Congo too.

There is a genocide going on in the Darfur region of Sudan. It’s been going on for 20 FUCKING YEARS. 2,000 people have died in just 5 days. Because of the Darfur genocide, millions (maybe even more) of people have either been raped, killed or displaced. Since April of 2023, things have gotten worse in the country. The UN just fucking withdrew from Sudan. The media has not said a word about this.

In the Congo, there is a genocide going on as imperial powers are exploiting the country for its resources. Many people, including women and children, are being forced to mine hazardous materials like cobalt. Those materials are not safe to touch or breathe unless there is safety equipment involved, and they don’t get any safety equipment. They are fucking being FORCED to touch and breathe those materials with nothing to protect them every day, and many people, including mothers with their babies strapped to their backs, are not exempt from this.

The materials many people are forced to mine and expose themselves to were probably used to manufacture the screen I am using to type this and the screen you are staring at right now. Please, do not buy new phones, computers, consoles, cars, etc. if you do not want to support this practice, if you absolutely HAVE to buy one of these, I suggest you go for used stuff. You can survive without buying the newest iPhone model, I promise your year old phone is still going to be very useful to you.

Please reblog, I dont care if you think this doesn’t fit your blog’s aesthetic.

One thing I will never understand is the absolute denial from Zionists like you is that yall can’t seem to understand that people can learn/become informed and now *can* stand with Palestinians. “NoNe Of YoU kNeW aBoUt PaLeStINe BeFoRe 10/7!!!” Yeah, because of deliberate censorship from the Israeli lobby. This is not surprising. People now know, they know how Zionists have become the new Nazis and how they are in fact committing a genocide and ethnic cleaning against the Palestinian people. They know how they have been killing, starving, and torturing Palestinians people for the last 76+ years. And how Israhell has its hand in the killing and genocide of people around the world (Sudan, Congo, and Black people in the U.S.)

People have woken up. When people are oppressed don’t be surprised when they resist.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Perfect example of the illiterate drivel that they spew. I can say "I know many people who've been like this long before October 7th" and one of them slithers into my inbox to bray about my apparent claim to the opposite effect. Such a gotcha.

And then they say the same boring shit that nobody with a brain believes anymore. Practically every popular buzzword is included. This is a lame attempt at trolling. Even answering them will in their mind prove they've won in this bizarre little interaction. But so will ignoring them.

I will not be wasting any more time "debunking" that which is so below the normal threshold of human intelligence. I have already wasted five minutes of my life responding to this. That's all you are to me. A random obnoxious little antisemite who will die an antisemite one day, having accomplished nothing for the liberation, much less improvement, of anyone.

Also I remember I saw something that like, someone was saying like 'oh y'all just want Beyoncé to do all the work cause y'all want Black women to head every movement'

Like, let's back up a second. Like do people try to make Black women do all the work whilst sitting back waiting yeah. Do people expect more of Black women than others yes.

But that's not what we're talking about, Beyoncé has not said anything about what's happening in Palestine, Congo, or Sudan. Her movie is still being shown in Israel. People who boast about murdering Palestinian people singing Break My Soul while waving their flags. People in a country murdering men women and children, turning them into martyrs, ruining some of the world's oldest churches and mosques, people dying to make our phones and computers, people in the midst of a war that's displacing people, setting up circumstances for sexual violence against women, and you can't say anything? Beyoncé's reach is astronomical someone like her or even that white woman saying something would have an impact and they have the money and the means to support themselves should something happen because other people are literally losing jobs and being attacked, some of them are dead and some will never be the same.

Also, someone pointed out that activists in one way or another are putting their lives on the line for a particular cause, they risk being locked up or murdered and God knows what else to help others. You not Malcolm X because you re-posted a few Instagram reels let's be serious. That's not to take away from posting online and its impact because it helps connect people, the internet is how people come to know these things are even happening in the first place but activists have a lot to lose no matter their cause, which is to say no one's saying people like Beyoncé or White lady or Selena Gomez need to be activists but they could say something. I mean esp with those last two they speak up on like their ex boyfriends like someone gives a shit but now people are dying and been doing so for God knows how long (its just now at the forefront) you silent? Okay

ancestry blood tests to see what country you're from isn't exclusively a white people thing, it's a colonial american thing. europeans have the privilege of tracing their genealogy through hundreds and hundreds of years. they know their culture. we don't. white americans, black americans, even some latin americans. white americans don't know whether we're german or french or dutch or irish or spanish or english or whatever because all the immigrants escaped religious persecution to live in filth and squalor but at least filth and squalor free of religious intolerance (never mind the fact that we did so at the expense of the natives who were here first and murdered for the sake of colonialism) and fucked the shit out of each other so hard and so much that since government was a goddamn trainwreck back then there weren't systems in place, and since everyone died of fucking typhoid and dysentery at like 25 we lost many stories handed down through the family of where we came from. and I don't even need to explain the perils that africans faced when they were shipped here in chains to be our slaves: we stripped them of identity and culture and killed the dissenters and stole the women and children, brainwashing them into being subservient. by the time they regained some semblance of independence in the 1900s there was hundreds of years of slavery to weed through, and now most black people don't get to have an ethnic identity beyond the color of their skin. nigeria? morocco? tunisia? chad? kenya? sudan? the congo? they probably couldn't tell you. asians and middle easterners usually know considering the circumstances of their introduction to america was a bit different than that of europe and africa, since their culture operates differently than westerners, but that isn't an ethnic issue. it isn't because they're asian or middle eastern, it's because their culture is more familial-centric; because it's different.

so while I won't argue that having easier access to tools used to find your bloodlines is certainly a byproduct of white privilege. that's actually true as evident by having common sense and looking at the world around you. but wanting to know where your great-grandparents are from? that doesn't seem cringe to me. I myself have the privilege of knowing: 25% anglo/franc, 12% irish, 25% german, 25% italian, 12% ??? (i have a great-grandfather who was adopted as an orphaned child), and like 2% cherokee which doesn't mean anything besides I have a great-grandfather who fucked a cherokee woman. I have the privilege of knowing where I came from despite being a white american. my cultural identity is still that of a white american, and my ethnic identity doesn't change that. it's just a cool thing to know, like my zodiac sign, or my phenotype, or my blood type, or my favorite flavor of ice cream.

so I mean yeah joke about it "haha white people think there's a difference between swedish and swiss what a bunch of fucking cringe morons" if that makes you feel better about yourself, it doesn't bother me any. but that's because I already know. and when you say that, it is on principle the same thing as "haha black people think there's a difference between uganda and ethiopia, what a bunch of fucking cringe morons".

well I didn't compare the struggles of white and black people. I compared wanting to know what your ancestry was, in the context of people saying that wanting to know what your ancestry is is a "white people" thing. please don't be a clown. which now that I'm saying that I am now remembering the violently racist history of the origin of clowns so let me rephrase. don't be an idiot. which I sincerely hope isn't an ableist slur now so says the 12 year old discourse gremlins. although that is ageist and the concept of the gremlin has an antisemitic history... well fuck, now I'm questioning everything. THIS IS WHY HISTORY AND GENEALOGY ARE IMPORTANT.

but I digress. out of all the things white people do that are actually harmful to the world and ethnic minorities, having an interest in ancestral genealogy is the least of your concerns. it is literally on the same level as a white girl being into the zodiac. in fact it's even less harmful because white girls will kick someone out of a lease because they're a scorpio or whatever; even the very prospect of being prejudiced or discriminatory against an irish or italian person is all but disappeared, and even then it's only seen with backwoods redneck trailer trash "white purity" inbred neonazis who only really consider england, france, and germany to be ~real white~. and are we really gonna give a shit about the opinions of a degenerate like that? I sure won't.

tl;dr getting pissy about ancestral genealogy is a waste of your energy writing it and a waste of my energy scrolling past it so do us both a favor and grow a sense of humor.
