ITV airing the reunion tomorrow (and not live) so they can edit out housemates talking about Rochelle’s racist comments #BBUK
My dad said WCK were celebrating their 40th anniversary so they had a few jams in Roseau. As the pioneers of bouyon, why were they not headlining WCMF? In their 40th year they should have received an award, had a tribute show and a plaque or statue unveiled.

White supremacy had a collaborator class then. And it has one now. There were collaborators in practically every crime waged against humanity.
The African resistance class always outnumbered the collaborator class, but the collaborator class is always empowered. Then and now.
Africans fully participated in the slave trade at Elmina, Ghana.
Trade records from the Dutch West India Company, Royal African Company, and Danish ledgers from Elmina, Cape Coast show African rulers and merchants negotiating prices, quantities, and terms with European factors.
African brokers and rulers controlled who could trade and where.
African-authored testimony, for example, Ottobah Cugoano, a Fante man enslaved around 1770, wrote that he was kidnapped by fellow Africans and sold into slavery.
In fact the Asante expansion in modern-day Ghana involved conquering neighbours like Denkyira, Akyem, and Gonja. The prisoners taken in those wars- by Africans- supplied both the coastal trade and domestic labour.
The fort archaeology from excavations at Elmina, Cape Coast, and inland Asante sites back all of this up.
On your logic, the government of Ghana should be apologising for their involvement in slavery.
Chattel slavery created “Blackness” & anti-Black racism to justify the enslavement of Africans. Anti-Black racism TODAY is a continuum of Anti-Black/African propaganda began during chattel slavery.
The term "slavery" is unhelpfully monolithic. What was waged upon Africans was unique in both history, brutality & profitability. E.g: African societies did not practice permanent, race-based, hereditary chattel slavery à la the British Empire and others.

We cannot reach our destination if we do not start the journey.
Barbados will meet this opening for dialogue with purpose. We will carry our history to the table, speak plainly and respectfully about our differences with the United Kingdom on reparations and pursue agreements that can improve lives.
Guided by CARICOM’s Ten Point Plan, we seek an apology, investment in health and education, and fairer debt terms for vulnerable states.
Our children must inherit more than the consequences of the past. They must inherit the progress we have the courage to make.
Nobody said this isn’t a good idea???!! 🤦🏾♀️

Black people have not freed their minds from colonialism. This man refused to apologize for his family's role in slavery and they perform dances of resistance for him.

Junkanoo, a practice of resistance of African enslaved people and their descendants after them, used to entertain the beneficiary of slavery and colonization is beyond insulting.

Seems a bit gross that you can be shortlisted for work that pushed a man to take his own life, but i guess this is the state of British journalism today.
Very happy to have been shortlisted in the Specialist Journalism category in this year's British Journalism Awards for my investigation into Cambridge University professor Jason Arday and the extensive plagiarism in his PhD thesis #BJA2026
Twinks was just talking about how awful Rochelle treats her and still believes Johanne was the problem??? #bbuk

A sacked Cambridge researcher who sparked a media frenzy over Prof Jason Arday before he was found dead 2 months ago has now been given the opportunity to hold a talk at Oxford Uni on DEI by a Reform-linked society. A protest has been planned to stop it.

Four Exonerations, One Damning White Supremacist System
When racism is woven into your foundations, injustice isn’t an aberration, it’s business as usual.
They put Professor Jason Arday through a media lynching, yet his name has now been cleared four times. The silence proves just how sinister msm really is. Meanwhile, systemic racism thrives through racist institutions such as Oxford University who continue to platform Nathan Cofnas. Black excellence is put on trial; racist pseudoscience is amplified because the rot is deep and institutional.
No surprises from a nation built on theft and plunder.
