Where is #BlackLivesMatter while #Russia uses native people for its colonial war by contract enforcement? Why don't you protest in front of the #russian embassy against systemic #racism? Like many people around the world supported Afro-Americans. Solidarity!

2/ @Blklivesmatter could you finally turn your attention to the problem of #racism in #Russia and the bloody exploitation of #indigenous peoples there?
#RussianColonialism
@Blklivesmatter 3/ More is explained here:
@Blklivesmatter 4/ "Why romanticising the #SovietUnion obscures its colonial past" - an important lesson for western #leftwingpolitics, especially the shameless #tankies and others who deny or even support #RussianColonialism and #RussianWarCrimes..

@Blklivesmatter 5/ People of #Africa, you could do something about it too. I know you have your own problems, but the kind of demonstration I mentioned earlier would be very helpful. Here you can read why #Africans should not follow #russian propaganda:

@Blklivesmatter 10/#Russia’s history is one of almost ceaseless expansion&colonization and it is the last European empire that has resisted even basic decolonization efforts such as granting subject populations autonomy&a meaningful voice in choosing the country’s leaders
