Riku Niemisen eduskuntavaaliehdokkuuden myötä uudelleen keskustelunaiheeksi 8 vuoden takaa noussut #blackface-sketsi on hyvä tapaustutkimus samalla tarkastella #woke-asenteiden kehitystä ja toimintalogiikkaa Suomessa. #wokehommat 1/x 
Heinäkuussa 2015 Suomen Kuvalehden kolumnissa oli kriittinen sävy. Nieminen kommentoi, että hänellä ei ollut pahaa tarkoitusta, syytökset olivat "absurdeja" ja syytöksiä hän piti "sädekehänkiillotuksena". Rasismia hän ei asiassa nähnyt. 2/x
Nieminen on vuonna 2021 sittemmin pyytänyt vitsiä anteeksi Apu-lehdessä. Hän toisti, ettei tarkoitus ollut paha ja pyysi anteeksi ihmisiltä, "jotka kokevat, että blackface normalisoi rasismia", eikä ulkonäölle nauraminen ole ok. 3/x
Los universitarios postmodernos que acusan de "colonialista" y "racista" a España por lo del #Blackface son los verdaderos colonialistas, pero no lo saben. No en todas las culturas disfrazarse de negro es "racista". EEUU tiene un problema muy gordo que demuestra una cosa:🔽
🔽Las personas ególatras y las que tienen complejo de inferioridad son igualmente narcisistas. Ambas se creen el centro del Mundo y que todo ha de girar a su alrededor, las primeras en positivo y las segundas en negativo. Algo así pasa en EEUU con el "Destino Manifiesto".🔽
🔽La idea de "Destino Manifiesto" propagada por EEUU en el siglo XIX para justificar la conquista de buena parte del Primer Imperio Mexicano se base en algo simple: EEUU es el pueblo elegido por Dios para implantar el Bien en la Tierra.🔽
Some folks didn't get the significance of me presenting the news with my dreadlocks.
In my lifetime, TV was a place where the BBC, a public funding media, paid David Baddiel to do racist Blackface whilst mocking footballer Jason Lee's locks.
This dehumanised all black people 1/4

More than "Just a joke".
A racist stereotype was broadcast across the uk. Influencing public perception- How many Black people walked into school, job interviews, meetings... with people that had laughed & internalised this 'joke'. How did they view black people after watching?

Over a million views of me reading the news. The majority of the comments are positive and understanding; but there are still racists comments mixed in. No doubt in the 'just a joke' mindset.

Het meest hilarische van de hele #Blackface toestand is dat we ergens (tijdens de slavernij?) hebben besloten dat Sinterklaas beter zwarte mensen als knechtjes kan hebben dan zwarte duivels, zoals hij nog steeds heeft in Oostenrijk en Duitsland. (Krampus).
We weten dat we dat deden, omdat Schiermonnikoog als een van de laatste plekken in NL nog "Klozum" (Sinter Klozum) vierde met zwarte duivels. Dus we hebben zwarte mensen als een vriendelijke variant op letterlijke duivels ingevoerd.
Hier zie je de overgang. Sinterklaas intocht in Den Bosch in 1936. Let op de duivel-achtige figuur rechts van het paard. We hebben van onze zwarte midwinterduivels zwarte mensen gemaakt. Zo ongeveer het meest racistische wat ik me voor kan stellen? Leve de roetpieten. #Blackface
this is a bad, racist argument & feminists need to stop making it. criticise drag all you want, I’m no great fan, but the comparison to blackface glosses over the historical meaning of minstrelsy in a way that equivocates rather than illuminates. /1
minstrelsy was historically created to parody the immutable characteristics of enslaved afro americans. Its primary purpose was to entertain working class whites with subhuman depictions of black slaves in order to reproduce their complacency toward ancestral chattel slavery. /2
drag was created to engage in absurdist appropriation of arbitrary fashion conventions of gender but only incidental simulation of immutable sex characteristics of women as a subversion of the gender norms that dehumanize gay men for their insufficiently masculine sexuality. /3

Here is a video of a skit that #shanedawson & his friends made in high school. They are degrading & derogatory towards Western Asain people, they are also Islamophic by disrespecting the Hijab which is sacred a symbol of modesty in Islam and devotion to Allah for muslim women.
⚠️TW// Antisemitism and rasim⚠️ Here is a skit that #shanedawson made during his high school days with his friends. He dresses up as Hitler and even does a brief nazi salute.

1) A thread on #ContactTracing. Yes, it's here. We are watching the #NWO #Agenda21 script play out right in front of our eyes. First we'll show what this is, then I'll share an Anon's opinion of what is really going on. No fear....
2) First, THOUSANDS of #ContactTracers are being hired all over the country. The evidence of this is clear. cbsnews.com/news/contact-t…
3) Now, who would be attracted to such an invasive job? How EXCITED your neighbor might be to be able to decide the future of your kids and other family members through #ContactTracing! 🙄 Controlling flags, grass length and noisy dogs is just not enough!
We have just launched our report about the media ecosystem and mis/disinformation in the 2019 Canadian Federal election. What follows is a mega thread detailing our methods, findings and some broader reflections. @mcgillu @munkschool @MaxBellSchool @ppforumca

There is a big worry about the influence of mis/disinformation and other forms of online media manipulation on democratic institutions, elections and political life. We set out to build and produce a robust and reproducible Canadian study. And we are heartened by what we found.
We assembled a fantastic team of political scientists, computer scientists, communications and public policy scholars to do what we believe to be the most comprehensive case study of an information ecosystem done during a Canadian election to-date.

After reflecting on Trudeau’s #brownface (and now #blackface) scandal, a THREAD:
TL;DR: Racism is systemic. Policies matter. Commit to anti-racism. Amplify racialized voices. Scrutinize for consistency.
Race is complex. Its discourse must meet that complexity, not overlook it.

First, be *aware*. Stop being surprised by events like this. It’s not “shocking” that Trudeau wore blackface; It’s expected. Racism is systemic in Canada. Those who deny it aren’t seeing a different society, they’re simply failing to name it.
Second, be *precise*. Specifically, ask the right questions: Not “is Trudeau racist?” But “how do his actions reflect systemic racism?” And “what are we doing to dismantle that system?” The individualization of racism is what upholds its systemic force.
No. Nobody with even half a brain cell on the left would do that if they were aware of the historical significance of Caucasian people painting themselves into #BlackFace. (gollywogs etc) So it's clearly something @JustinTrudeau did before he learned what it meant.
To anyone accusing me of being biased or inconsistent, suggesting that I'm only taking this position on blackface because I Iike Justin Trudeau.... Here's a thread I made over a year ago about people I'd never even heard of...
Honest opinion:
Blackface to imitate black people in general has historical connotations making it racist AF.
Blackface as an homage to a character/celeb you love doesn't make you racist... but unless Spielberg does your makeup it won't look good enough not to look disrespectful.

We are missing the point if this story becomes about Justin Trudeau being unveiled as "a racist". Here is an opportunity to think more deeply about the situation and what allows it to be so. I'm not in any way surprised by the image that has been circulated. /1
North American society is quite focused on identifying people as 'racists' or 'not racists'. Being called racist is considered one of the worst labels you could apply to someone. And yet, we all live, breathe and swim in a soup of structural racism reinforcing racist beliefs. /2
The reason for the crisis is that @JustinTrudeau's image is one of being a 'good person' who identifies as feminist, welcomes immigrants, and reconciliation. So his defenders rush to say, he's not 'a racist' because this is impossible for someone who is a 'good person'. /3

Yesterday I met with labor union representatives who asked me, "What are people telling you on the doors about how we can move forward?"
"Forward" is a really great-sounding, popular political term. Obama used it. So did Communist China in the 1980's: (向前看) I have, too.

It came up at our healthcare/reproductive freedom roundtable last night. "How do we move forward?" I asked my guests @MargieInTheDMV and @srobgyn.
Certainly, recognizing the need to move forward and having conversations is important, and a first step as Margie pointed out.

The refrain after a tragedy like #NewZealandTerroristAttack is always how to move "past" it. The same words used in the wake of the #Blackface scandals here in Virginia.
The metaphor underlying it all is: we're all on a linear path: backward is bad, forward is good.

If those articles of impeachment are introduced against Fairfax today, we could see a vote as early as tomorrow.
That resolution would kick off hearings on the allegations. A committee would have to recommend impeachment, and the full house would have to vote @wusa9
