He's right about the Dutch occupation of Tobago, until the French conquered it. Trinidad and Tobago only came under one banner under the Brits in 1888. The Dutch were kicked out of Tobago in 1678, so over a hundred years earlier. When making claims it's important to be precise. Dutch had nothing to do with Trinidad. We did enough shit over there in the Caribean, but it's important to keep the facts right.
I'm glad someone was here to witness this shit because I don't think I'd believe myself it was just me.
Germany's Olympic men's team walked off the pitch during a test game against Honduras after Jordan Torunarigha was allegedly racially abused. https://t.co/DxAuQZDwU2 pic.twitter.com/cbFzL9YJ6F— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) July 17, 2021 Well done. Need to see more of this, especially in matches that actually matter. Shouldn't tolerated in any way, shape or form. Period.
So all those centuries of blood and slave export counts for nothing ?They got independence after siphoned for centuries by major west players.
Ronldoo, Messi, all major players, brands with millions of followers should quit social media. This is the only way to tackle online racial abuse.
Man what the ********? Did you hit your head? The people who got indepedence are the children of slaves and indentured servants. Are they the ones who raped and pillaged? They build the country that exists today. They did it without bloodshed. The words of the anthem: here every creed and race, find an equal place should be ammended. every creed and race except for Anonymous_United's dumb ass.
No, that's what imperialist do... im glorifying/giving recognition to the lost souls by the hand of imperialists ..
What health care exclusions are you referring too? For the most Canadians understand our medical system isn't free. We get that pay fir it via taxation. But, it is accessible to all. Also, our gun laws aren't designed to reduce crime. They are designed to curb mass shooting events of innocent people. For the most, Canada doesn't have anywhere close to gun violence the US does. Also, who exactly do you feel is continuing to pretend the genocide never happened? What is it about their actions that make you think this? I'm not familiar with all the provinces. But here in BC, our government are helping fund the search for many, many of the unmarked Graves across our Province. Thats why we continue to hear new announcements every week or two.
i genuinely don't know why you're explaining this to me when i clearly put free in quotations. that is the idea often floated around - "free" health care in canada particularly outside of the country. there are general exceptions like OTCs, a good portion of eye care, dental and other exclusions and limits on things like surgeries which OHIP will not cover like ambulance rides and physio. yes, because shooting innocents is not a crime. no one claimed canada had the same level of violence anyway. not like anyone with serious intent to kill is going to be stopped by gun laws. not that i brought up gun laws first anyway i am going to assume you are being obtuse and an ass here out of boredom and keep this relatively short - in general white canada. the government. do you really think they are teaching what really happened in schools? or that having those bullshit short video ads on tv about british soldiers having these perfectly amicable interactions with village chiefs when they arrived was by accident? or accurate? you think the aboriginal culture isn't still appropriated to this day with no repartriation? do you really think aboriginals are given the appropriate visibility, recognition or rightful place in 'canadian' history? or that they aren't marginalising the aboriginals, their land and their culture to this day? and no "reserves" are not a counter argument to that. nor is bringing up this graves bullshit like it is some noble effort. seriously get outta here with this trash. you should know better
I am confused as to why we have the politics page in the subforum over there. Take your Canada talk thataway. Lol
A legendary career comes to a close 🇺🇸🐐 @CarliLloyd has announced her retirement. The soon-to-be announced four #USWNT fall friendlies will be her final matches in a U.S. uniform, closing out a remarkable career. She will finish the @NWSL season with @GothamFC.— U.S. Women's National Soccer Team (@USWNT) August 16, 2021 World Champion twice, Gold Olympic medalist twice, 2x FIFA Player of the Year among many more honors. One the greatest US women's football player of all time (top 5 certainly). Just an amazing career.
1430921927586103306 is not a valid tweet id So that is how it works: a black man (allegedly) commits a crime and that automatically invalidates all Black people's (and all minorities really) feelings towards racism? Alright then: good to know...
Anton Ferdinand speaking truth. Anton Ferdinand, giving evidence to MPs, scathing about social media companies' failure to tackle online racism.

Wow.... Why would you even say something like that??? Smh: hope she loses her job on top of this (which might not necessarily be a given in Spain).
