    Given how some have critiqued the 1619 Project for marginalizing the place of Native Americans in colonial (particularly 17th century) history, it’s worth noting that Van Sertima was himself accused of “robbing” and “diminishing” Native American cultures: https://t.co/o4Xcnkbb1t

    not fellow humans but "kuffars"

    ...Del Vecchio and Patel were arrested at their home, 18 miles from the murder scene, on February 15, 2018, after detectives traced a link to their mobile phones from their victims. Jackson, who rented a room in their home, was arrested a month later.

    WhatsApp and Telegram messages also found on their phones added an unexpected twist to the killings. On February 9 the suspects discussed preparing to “kill the kuffar and abduct their alias, to destroy infrastructure and to put fear in the heart of the kuffar”. They also described the couple as “prey” who were ripe for a good “hunt”.

    The development prompted the Foreign Office to issue a warning about a possible terrorism threat in South Africa. Detectives found Islamic State pamphlets and a flag at the defendants’ house at the time of the arrest, according to local reports at the time.

    South Africa is Africa’s most industrialised country, and 2 per cent of the population is Muslim. It has never suffered a major Islamist attack but has become a hub of dirty money financing terrorism in southern and east Africa. Its weak security institutions, porous borders and rising lawlessness have led to large-scale trafficking of drugs, arms and people as terrorist groups seek to fill their war chests.

    According to official reports, the couple’s remains were recovered after being eaten by crocodiles. Local fishermen said that remnants of their sleeping bags, including zippers, were seen in the teeth of crocodiles months after the bodies were retrieved from the water....

    What's especially amazing to me here is what religion/ideology can do. Because Muslims are only 2% of the population there, so to these two, 98% of the population around them do not have the same rights to life that they do.

    Opinion: American Jews start to think the unthinkable

    By , Columnist | @WashingtonPost.com, Oct. 28

    On the holiest night of the Jewish year earlier this month, my rabbi looked up from his Kol Nidre sermon — a homily about protecting America’s liberal democracy — and posed a question that wasn’t in his prepared text: “How many people in the last few years have been at a dining room conversation where the conversation has turned to where might we move? How many of us?”

    He was talking about the unthinkable: that Jews might need to flee the United States. In the congregation, many hands — most? — went up.

    The sermon included a quotation from the Jewish scholar Michael Holzman: “For American Jews, the disappearance of liberal democracy would be a disaster. … We have flourished under the shelter of the principles behind the First Amendment, and we have been protected by the absolute belief in the rule of law. Without these, Jews, start packing suitcases.”

    The fear of exile has become common as Jews see the unraveling rule of law, ascendant Christian nationalists and anti-Israel sentiments turning antisemitic on the far left. Wondering where Jews might move “is among the most frequently asked questions that I get,” Jonathan Greenblatt, head of the Anti-Defamation League, told me.

    ncidents of antisemitic harassment, vandalism and assault nearly tripled between 2015 and 2021, the ADL reports, and it says 2022 attacks are on pace with last year’s record level. This week was the fourth anniversary of the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre, which was followed by other synagogue attacks in 2019 and earlier this year. One in 4 U.S. Jews has experienced antisemitism in the past year.

    Now we have Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, unleashing a torrent of filth on social media (“death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE”), white supremacists applauding him (and giving Nazi salutes to Los Angeles motorists), Elon Musk’s Twitter preparing to welcome white supremacists, and the Pennsylvania Republican gubernatorial nominee deploying antisemitism against his Jewish opponent [.....]

    Called attention to the above by this tweet:

    As the criminal Trump and his co-conspirators in the @GOP openly promote antisemitism and other forms of hate, American Jews start to wonder if it's time to flee the country before we go full fascist. https://t.co/MTjrTHvbda

    'Splainer excerpted from

    The Insecure Prime Minister and his Amhara Phobia byTigist Bekka @ borkena.com,  November 22, 2022

    [....] Abiy Ahmed’s Amhara Phobia 

    Not only is Abiy Ahmed afraid of his political rivals, but he is also obsessed with the Amhara people as an ethnic group, just like some members of the Oromo political elite. Bekele Gerba announced in 2019 on Ethio Forum, a now-defunct YouTube channel that was owned by the TPLF, that he suffers from Amhara phobia. In their distorted belief, these insecure Oromos are convinced that the Amhara will displace them one day, unless the Amharas are continually harassed, threatened, intimated, humiliated, oppressed, terrorized, even massacred. Abiy Ahmed is one of them. The crimes committed against the Amhara people today are crimes of insecurity by the Oromo elite.

    His government has never brought to justice the perpetrators of the heinous crimes against the Amhara people. There is widespread suspicion that government officials are directly involved in the crimes committed against the Amharas throughout Ethiopia. No official who facilitated or participated in the systematic killings of the Amharas in Oromia or Benishangul has been brought to justice. 

    The Amharas have been prevented from entering Addis Ababa, in their own country, under the disguise of ‘security concerns’. The Amharas are being disarmed in Wollega so that they cannot defend themselves against the OLA or the other government-sponsored terrorist organizations. There is a plan to disarm the Amharas in the Amhara region so that they cannot defend themselves against the next round of invasion by the TPLF or OLA. Abiy Ahmed, indoctrinated in ethnic politics from a young age by the TPLF, steeped in the TPLF’s political intrigues of divide and rule, and ever obsessed with Amhara phobia, has engineered the intimidation, terrorization, brutalization, and killings of the Amharas. [....]

    It's not just remarkable, it's a seriously sick obsession with skin color in 21st-century first-world culture:


    Nah, it's just same-old racism, tribalism, easy dismissal of "the other", or winning an argument thru whatever means. Most of our acts are not that profound or edgy. The banality of me-too.


    Disagree - tribalizing people by skin color and stereotyping is FAR MORE ABSURD, especially in the 21-st century, then doing it by ethnicity or citizenship or culture! It's the stuff of illiterate idiots from a millennia ago. Truly truly idiotic, foolish, counter-productive and self-defeating.

    Actually, the only place it makes sense is policing of criminals or runaways or unidentified victims, there you don't want to leave skin color out of your description, just as you don't want to leave out eye color, height and weight, fingerprints and DNA of course.


    "same-old" = "millennia ago". Nothing new here or extremely shocking, except that it's shocking there's nothing new here.



    The color of the skin of the participants has nothing to do with this. I see these tribes: the kid's parents are struggling immigrants; the kid is an Asperger's-type genius; the music teacher believes in the meritocracy of musical talent. None of that is "fair" either.

    Sigh - there is a downside to having most villains be black, Arab-Persian-like, Mexican, or German-looking/sounding - Gary Oldman and Anthony Perkins not withstanding. (presumably Ted Levine, aka the transsexual "Buffalo Bill" is even Jewish, I'd guess.) Then again, we get more African-American good guys than any of those other groups.
