Racism

Summary

This video is about the history of black people in Europe. It discusses the role of black Africans in European history, including their contributions to the Renaissance and the Moorish conquest of Spain. The video also discusses the efforts of some to erase the history of black people in Europe. Here are some key points from the video:

• Black Africans played a significant role in European history, including the Renaissance and the Moorish conquest of Spain.
• There has been a concerted effort to erase the history of black people in Europe.
• Despite these efforts, there is still a significant body of evidence that supports the claim that black people played a major role in European history.
• The video calls for a re-examination of European history in light of this new evidence.

Overall, the video provides a compelling argument for the inclusion of black history in the broader narrative of European history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about this important topic.

Tl;dr: Yes.

But I still suggest going through this; maybe bookmark and read later. It's short too.

Happy Juneteenth?

The comments are so awful, I really fear for the chinese diaspora in europe.

I feel that this community is long overdue (not really attacking anyone, just feel that we need a place to put articles and writings documenting this problem).

I hope no one misconstrues the title "racism", but we're on a communist Internet community so I think it's fine. 😅

Anyways, I've certainly been the target of racism in the past so I certainly hope that this proves useful to others that have also dealt with this problem personally (or to those that want to help out, of course).

The shout-out to Joe Biden aside, I'm glad that there's some at least some focus being put on the Asian diaspora and what they have to go through in the United States right now. Let's try to shine a light on this as much as we can, yeah? Anyway, let's hope that people affected by this can get through it safe and sound, though I think it'll be a long time before we see an end to this problem given the political climate and the New Cold War.
