""China wants to be the middleman and not have Africans (in its borders)," says Mathews, author of "The World in Guangzhou." "So it would make much more sense for the Chinese merchants to move to Africa, rather than having the Africans go to China."

Jenni Marsh, CNN, says that

'Africans also brought with them value systems that did not easily fit in with China's political environment.

"Many were deeply religious, founding underground Christian churches, which sometimes attracted Chinese congregations
-- a deeply contentious practice in a country where proselytizing by foreigners is illegal."

"Africans also formed small democracies within their own communities, voting for a head of each nation within #Guangzhou, to lobby on their behalf with the local authorities ...
.. on matters such as visas."

Historian Liam Hogan has spent the last six years debunking the Irish slave myth.

The War on Drugs: How Race-Neutral Policies Have Racist Consequences

"Racist policy disguised as race-neutral policy is still racist if it affects minorities disproportionally. EVEN IF THAT WASN'T THE INTENT."

— Adam Savage

#BlackLivesMatter #13th

You want to know what this was really all about?

“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, .
... but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night."

A Breif History of African American Conservatism

Black Conservatism is NOT White Conservatism

#BlackConservatives

Panic Over ‘#CancelCulture’ Is Another Example of Right-Wing Projection

"They want a world where they can say the most reprehensibly racist things without ever being accused of racism."

“Is it cancel culture when conservatives try to get college professors disciplined for anti-Americanism, or critics of Israel de-platformed for antisemitism?” asked Ross Douthat (New York Times, 10/14/20). “Sure, in a sense.”
"Accusing your enemy of doing what you’re doing—in this case, right-wing organizations canceling left-wing academics, and then claiming liberals are perpetrating cancel culture—is a form of deflection that riles the right-wing base against intellectuals, but also sends the ....
