    Can I ask a stupid question. Why is it that when the United States does this shit its always a PoC they are making do it? Last time it was some old bitch that looked like she could curdle milk. Like is it on purpose?

      I've noticed this too and it's genuinely uncomfortable. of course diversity is key to have, but this is just not it

      It's 100% on purpose. They do this as a means of separating Black Americans from the rest of the Global South, and when Black Americans are cut off from the rest of the Global South, especially Africa, they're more susceptible to be assimilated and assimilated as second-class citizens no less. I think a recent interview by Gerald Horne even mentioned how people in the Global South didn't assume Black Americans would just go along with what the US government did until recently, which has done damage to Black radicals who want to build working relationships with other radical groups within the Global South. The constant diaspora wars on Black Twitter also have the stench of feds pretending to be Black.

        I often think how our enemy wastes no moves and yet in other cases they are so inept that it makes us think we can overcome them if all we do is wait. I am so tired.

    He said there was not unanimity among the Security Council’s 15 members that the Palestinian Authority had met the criteria for membership

    Absolutely wild thing to say when you're the only one voting nay.

    Kind of shouldn't be calling yourself the United Nations if one guy can vito against what the others want.

    Who will save the world from the anti-democratic, authoritarian US?
