So you mean I’m right then. Good to know you have problems with historical fact and reality, seeing as everything you’ve shared about yourself is a lie too. Take care and good luck my USAF friend.

Content warning: slurs, racist imagery, transphobia Being a Millennial Black woman is a strange experience, especially if you are looking for love or sex online. You can oscillate between being inundated with evidence of your alleged undesirability but also overwhelmed by the intense fetishism that can be found in certain NSFW “appreciation” subreddits, porn categories, and forums. To make matters worse, there exists a well-known interracial marriage statistic that indicates on average, Black men marry (and presumably date) at 2 times the rate of Black women, thus causing a gender disparity. These statistics are brought up ad nauseam on dating forums and twitter threads whenever the topic of Black women and dating or marriage arise. These statistics and the accompanying commentary can be frustrating. Especially when they are weaponized by bad-faith actors to prove that something must be inherently wrong with Black women or Black Americans as a whole. Growing up in suburbia, it was not rare for me to overhear that my Black male classmates were not fond of Black women as dating partners. We are too “dark”, too “loud”, or had “too much attitude”. “Hot Or Not” lists were passed around, but all of the darker-skinned Black female students were missing. It was one thing to hear colorist and racist comments from the White students. But as a Black woman, you are raised to expect different from your Black male classmates. I observed this pattern of racist exclusion or misogynist comments from Black men well into my college years and beyond. I also experienced romantic rejection from Black men simply because we shared the same skin tone and hair texture. Upon graduating and finding my first romantic partner (a White man), something clicked. I started reflecting on not only why I had a harder time dating than my non-Black friends, but also why my first boyfriend was not Black. I found myself searching the internet with queries such as “Black men who hate Black women” or “Black women who hate Black men”. It didn’t take long to realize that not only do I have some sort of internalized trauma but that the internet is a disturbing looking glass to peer into. Source There are rabbit-holes on the internet that are toxic places for impressionable young people to fall down into. Much has been discussed about the “Alt-Right pipeline”on various internet platforms. But there isn’t nearly as much discourse about the fringe reactionary subcultures that young Black men and women may be exposed to. Some of the terms I will be using: BWE/BWGTOW (#BWGTOW) Black Women Empowerment/Black Women Going Their Own Way The movement presents itself as a “self-help” community that encourages Black women to decenter male attention, prioritize health and self-care, and to broaden one’s horizons through international travel and intentionally hypergamous relationships — often leading to the promotion of interracial relationships as a form of hypergamy. I encountered this movement years before the “Divestment movement” began appearing on various social media platforms. Most of the smaller bloggers associated with this subculture have now rebranded as either “Divestment” blogs, or as more legitimate self-help consulting firms. Some figures such as Christelyn Karazin have received mainstream media attention. Some of the most popular figures in this movement are Christelyn Karazin (Beyond Black and White), Brooklyn Bleu, Khadija Nassif (Muslim Bushido), and Izidora Storm (IzzieStorm, Izidora Storm). Divest/Divest BW (#Divest, #DivestBW) Divest/ Divest Black Women/Divested Black Women This movement is derived from BWE, but with a more intentional focus on “divesting” oneself from the Black community, from social justice (#BurnTheCape), and from issues relating to Black male oppression. Self-improvement (feminization training, weight loss, professional development) is promoted as a means of achieving hypergamy. Compared to BWE/BWGTOW, there is more of a focus on colorism and the disparate treatment of monoracial dark-skinned Black women (DSBW). Less centralized, and more spread out across social media platforms, this movement appears to be the most current as well as the most popular iteration of the BWE ecosystem. As I will explain later, this movement is also notable for its idealization of traditional gender roles, and its pointed interest in the perceived failure of Black men (especially in Western countries) in comparison to other groups of men. Predominantly Black neighborhoods are derisively called “Blackistan”. “Blackistan” is a conceptual place where Black dysfunction and violent crime flourish. The most prominent figures: Chrissie, Divested Zealot, Diary Of A Negress BMGTOW (#BMGTOW) Black Men Going Their Own Way is a subculture derived from MGTOW ideology. They believe that women’s interest in men is entirely due to hypergamous goals and that men benefit themselves by avoiding women in any capacity (romantic, platonic, economic, etc.). There is documented overlap between MGTOW and incel subcultures, and likewise for BMGTOW. SYSBM (#SYSBM) Save Yourself, Black Men is a movement dedicated to encouraging Black men to avoid Black women in any capacity, but especially as romantic partners. Overt eugenics propaganda is often spread as a reason for interracial partnerships. Black men are encouraged to obtain passports so as to find non-Black romantic partners in developing countries who will supposedly appreciate them more than Black women can. This community stresses gender roles and traditional ideals of female subservience. Issues of police brutality and civil unrest are often blamed on Black women for being inadequate mothers and partners. Predominantly Black neighborhoods are pejoratively called “Communitahs”. “Blackistan” and “Communitahs” are classist and racist constructs where stereotypes of Black dysfunction and inferiority reside. In doing so, the inconvenient historical context of Black economic suppression can be safely swept under the rug. Some prominent figures: Tommy Sotomayor, MadBusDriverX, Babatunde Umanah, Gyakko Jones Fascism Fascism is defined as a far-right, authoritarian ideology. On the macro level, a fascist society values ultranationalism (with or without expansion), aggressive foreign policy, and criticism of egalitarian economics. On the micro-level, cultural fascism idealizes “tradition” and conformity. Any deviations from these cultural values lead an individual or group to be categorized as “deviant” or of poor “hygiene” (mental, physical, sexual, or otherwise). Fascism is intrinsically opposed to any left-of-center or centrist political ideology. While most of the BWE and Divestment communities originated from legitimate grievances about the misogynoir and economic challenges that Black women experience, it is my personal belief that these communities often cross over into near fascist-adjacent ideology, due to societal White Supremacist indoctrination. The most notorious hallmark of fascism is institutionalized bigotry and xenophobia. Divest as a movement and community have evidence of normalized anti-Blackness. Various slurs for Black men exist. Curiously, most of these slurs can also be used to demean Black women. In the case of slurs such as “nig nogs”, “gorillas”, and “apes” they have a history of just that on platforms such as Reddit, Stormfront, and 4chan. The use of these slurs is often justified because there exists a belief that anti-Black racism and police brutality is mostly targeted against Black men and not Black women. “Bullet bags” “Nakers” (appropriated from a reporter that said “Nakers” while covering Kobe Bryant’s death) “Dirty dicks” and other pejorative references to HIV/AIDS rates “Apes” “Dindu nuffins” Disclaimer: My experience as a Black woman has put me in much closer proximity to the BWE and Divestment communities than the SYSBM or BWGTOW manosphere. Due to this, my criticisms of BWE and Divest do not excuse or invalidate criticism of the Black manosphere. In fact, I also believe that SYSBM and related groups have more than enough evidence of fascist ideology. But for the sake of scope, I’m only focusing on BWE/Divestment. Umberto Eco’s 14 Points of Fascism The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.” The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense, Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.” The cult of action for action’s sake. “Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.” Disagreement is treason. “The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism. In modern culture, the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge.” Fear of difference. “The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.” Appeal to social frustration. “One of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by the pressure of lower social groups.” The obsession with a plot. “The followers must feel besieged. The easiest way to solve the plot is the appeal to xenophobia.” The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.” Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. “For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.” Contempt for the weak. “Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology.” Everybody is educated to become a hero. “In Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death.” Machismo and weaponry. “Machismo implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality.” Selective populism. “There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.” Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak. “All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning.” Although I believe that most of BWE/Divest is a small fringe group for reactionary venting, when browsing through this subculture, it isn’t difficult to find examples of most of the 14 points. With appropriated white supremacist rhetoric and in-group context, this movement has managed to find a small but dedicated following of frustrated young women. Just as the dire material conditions of a nation can foster a ripe breeding ground for fascist ideology, the fraught racial politics of a marginalized group can lead members into a crisis driven by self-hatred and a desire to purge undesirable members. Nazi Germany’s fascism arose due to the strict austerity measures imposed on them by the League of Nations. Once their economic and international reputation became a source of shame, the reaction was a chauvinistic party that purged dysgenic and dysfunctional populations from its society. In Black Skin, White Masks, Frantz Fanon noted this in regards to the colonized person’s condition: It has been observed that BWE and Divest are probably not spontaneous, but are actually a reaction to gendered racism from Black males in both real life and social media. Therefore if it is fascist-adjacent, then it did not originate from a desire to purge Black men from the Earth while elevating Black women to whiteness. But rather, it’s for self-preservation. If you were to ask a “Divested woman”, she would say that Black men created the gender war by whitewashing themselves. What makes “Divest” so attractive? Stanford Law professor, Ralph Richard Banks, published Is Marriage For White People (2011). It explains the various challenges that make Black American men the least likely group of men to marry, and likewise, Black American women are the least likely group of women to marry. In spite of married Black men choosing to marry Black women the majority of the time (approximately 85% of Black male marriages) Black American men still marry interracially at two times the rate of Black women. For Black American women who seek marriage, Banks implores them to explore their options rather than limiting themselves to their male cohorts. Even for women who are not pursuing marriage and are more interested in more casual partnerships with men, various studies and analyses have been published about Black women’s difficulties in modern dating platforms such as online dating apps. Now defunct OKTrends blog on race data Being inundated by such statistics, TV news programs, and forum topics on the subject can wreak havoc on a woman’s self-esteem. It’s no surprise that when a group of women is told that they are the least desired and protected, that they may become insular and reactionary. Unlikely Allies and Implications Platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, and Reddit are public forums in which anyone can freely view and engage with content. Black women on these platforms who are genuinely sharing pro-White or anti-Black male rhetoric should be aware that they are being monitored and enjoyed by racist non-Black men who may be seeking avenues for performing openly racist or fetishistic campaigns. Conclusion and Moving Forward One way to further inoculate against BW Divest rhetoric is to debunk racist talking points and to accept some of their mainstream views of self-improvement within reason, but to reframe the motivation for this self-help. The desire to improve oneself should not come out of insecurity regarding male desirability. Nor should it come out of anti-Black male bigotry. Given how Millennial and Gen Z women consume significant amounts of internet content, they are especially vulnerable to pessimistic outlooks that prey on romantic and socioeconomic insecurities. Black parents should open a dialog with their children on the realities of racial self-hatred just as they would for institutional racism or police brutality. Express to them that they are always more than what society stigmatizes them as.

Who are you talking to? Are you so deranged that you are launching indirects in other threads? Wales is not blood soaked and comparing them to First Nations is silly. The welsh don’t live on reservations or face the horrors of targeted sexual assault or murders like First Nation people do in North America. Sikhs get on with Native Canadians very well and we are building links. Not that it’s any of your business. Have you actually met any? We don’t do these things for clout or to look good, we’re not egotistical like you. We don’t need someone like you to tell us how to navigate the world. Nice try with the ‘do as I say or I will strike you down’ routine, very white saviour of you to try and connect my posts with random world events. Talking down to us comes naturally to you. I bet you think you’re Kevin Costner in Dances With Wolves with us don’t you? Whilst I’ve got you here, how’s it going with the black israelites? Bit funny how you linked up with a group known for their antisemitism and racism. As well as being heavily infiltrated by the three letter agencies in the states. On top of having Masonic roots. You’re starting to glow ‘bro’….. Keep your culture war nonsense to yourself, no one wants to hear it.

Nope. Completely wrong, I’ve got biceps as thick as most people’s thighs and I’m fairly fit though not as good as I used to be. I’m not racist though I do know how to handle them, like I have with you. I’ve never looked up to ‘imperials’ - this isn’t Star Wars kiddo. You need to stop slandering me. I know some things about you…..

Here you go again with the condescending comments. It’s not slander to state historical fact and it’s not enjoyable to have to educate people on basic past events. You’re the one who enjoys past deeds by constantly going on about the fictional history of your supposed ancestors. It sounds no different to those casteists who go on about Aryan/Scythian/White Hun migrations as if any of that is relevant today. As Guru Nanak Dev Ji told us, we should live truthfully. Give it a go sometime instead of twisting words and crying when called out on it. I didn’t even mention all the stuff that happened in the Tudor period or the role Wales played in british colonial bloodshed. You clearly have an agenda to whinge so much. Vitam impendere vero.

………….. how did you come to that interpretation?! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Lampoon's_Christmas_Vacation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_(2017_film) It’s a comical crossover reference based on the above two films. If you’re reading all these old threads to build up some sort of psychological profile then you should find a better use of your time. Not all of us are so one dimensional.

Nah, I’m not taking it down. I don’t agree with everything I post but I can see the funny side of this. It’s a play on stereotypes and the three stooges from Top Gear. The Welsh are a bunch of fairies. They give it large and then hide behind anyone they can, whilst crying wolf - often with racist overtones. Take it from someone who’s had to put up with them in the past, Wales and the West Country are full of racist idiots. They are hobbits as Tolkien based them on people from the West Country and Wales/Cornwall. Might have something to do with their hairy feet and prepubescent physique. Literally most of the news stories posted on this forum about convicted racists relate to people from Wales, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Somerset. Wales and Cornwall are integrated into Britain and the population are thoroughly mixed - they all buzz to me. To compare them to the Native Americans is ridiculous. I should be grateful? Yeah I’ve heard that one before….. The Welsh got their heads kicked in by the Romans. You might want to have a look at what happened to the druids on Anglesey when the legions came crashing through the hills and valleys. It was the Roman military who protected Wales and Cornwall from the english later on. At this point the celts were heavily romanised. The story of King Arthur is based off Ambrosius Aurelianus, a Roman who supposedly killed a thousand english at the Battle of Mons Baden with his own hand.

Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Week Of Celebrations Begin in Pakistan Islamabad: Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Week Of Celebrations began in Pakistan. Her Majesty The Queen’s Birthday and Platinum Jubilee celebrations kicked off at the British High Commission in Islamabad tonight (Wednesday). It is the first in a series of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee week which will also see birthday events in Karachi and Lahore. Pakistan’s legendary classic singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is also expected to enthrall the audience. It is worth mentioning that events across the world have been marking Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee and her 70 years of service to the people of the UK, the Realms, and the Commonwealth. It is also the year marking 75 years of Pakistan and the UK’s bilateral relationship. As part of the Platinum Jubilee on the weekend of June 4-5, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with the British High Commission lit a beacon to celebrate the occasion at the same time as it was done in the Commonwealth capitals. Preparations have been finalized to lit up the Pakistan Monument in Islamabad up tonight (Wednesday) in purple, the color of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. The event also underlines Pakistan and the UK’s 75-year partnership – at the heart of which are people-to-people links, a 1.6 million Pakistani diaspora in the UK, 500,000 approximate annual visits in both directions, and around 100,000 British nationals based in Pakistan. Prime Minister Boris Johnson last month spoke to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on the phone and welcomed the United Kingdom and Pakistan’s strong partnership over the past 75 years. They agreed to strengthen those ties further and boost trade and investment. Speaking at the occasion, the British High Commissioner to Pakistan Dr. Christian Turner CMG said Her Majesty The Queen’s 70 years of servant leadership show a remarkable record of integrity, hard work, and selflessness that are needed more than ever today. “Her Majesty The Queen’s 70 years of servant leadership show a remarkable record of integrity, hard work, and selflessness that are needed more than ever today. We are honored to celebrate her Birthday, her Platinum Jubilee, and also 75 years of deep UK-Pakistan relations,” stated the British High Commission at the event. Speaking to the ‘Islamabad Telegraph’ His Excellency Syed Shaheen Chishty, a prominent personality from South Asia, paid rich tribute to the Queen. ” Queen a symbol of unity across the world and a fine person in her own rights. She has dedicated all her life and the last 70 years to public service for all the countries. In my humble view, she is an appropriate candidate for a Nobel Peace Prize. A true English Queen who dealt with good and bad with a sense of maturity and never slipped her lines. An outstanding achievement of self-dedication to our others over her own self and a scarifies made for humanity from a very young age. My salute to the Queen who is in essence everyone’s Queen. Long live the Queen Elizabeth of U.K,” Mr. Chishty said. ” In the U.K. we are celebrating Queen’s Jubilee celebrations. Wow, she has been the Queen since 1952 till today. Tireless working for all without ever complaining. 70 years is a long time. My Queen, your Queen, and our Queen Long live the British Queen Elizabeth. It is iconic as the sun is slowly setting on her time as she is nearly 96 years old but long way to catch her mother who died at 105. So God bless the Queen and we look forward to many more years of her,” Syed Shaheen Chishti added. https://islamabadtelegraph.com/2022/06/08/her-majesty-the-queens-platinum-jubilee-week-of-celebrations-begins-in-pakistan/

There’s always an Indian helping the West get back on their b*llsh*t. This guy probably wants to create a whole industry harvesting poor Indian women’s wombs to put in occidental sissies.

If you’re thinking of emigrating then you need to do your homework. What someone else may like/consider important may not be relevant at all to you. A move abroad isn’t going to mean you can’t go somewhere else or come back for any reason either.
