INCREDIBLY CONCERNING SPIKE IN ANTI-BLACKNESS IS HAPPENING RN.
Some of yall may have heard some of the shit that has been going on right now. I'm gonna give a quick run down of some of the stuff that has been happening. Note, this is not all, and it may never be all as much as I will try to update this.
(I am going to try and compile and briefly explain these as much as I can. There may be misinformation. Please inform me if I got something wrong.)
(This will also be updated with additional information and new topics added.)
1) Racist Chinese Dolls.
There are these dolls in China that are being called "Natasha" baby dolls. These dolls are not only very obvious caricatures of black people, but they are being advertised as a "stress relief" in which the people who buy these abuse it in various ways.
This links to a video of a compilation of the various "uses" of the doll. There are more in the replies of the tweet. (Another link to the same tweet just incase)
2) The Mocking, Abuse, and Dehumanization of Black Children.
Apart from the aforementioned doll, there are apparently people going around mocking, abusing, and dehumanizing black children.
Some people have compared black children to the doll.
Others have been going into African countries and have found ways to mock, abuse, and dehumanize black children for clout.

There are more videos surfacing.
3) Black people are going missing.
Black people, especially children and teens have recently been going missing at an alarming rate. Some of these same people are turning up dead, deaths being ruled as "suicides."
While it generally unknown why many of these people are going missing, many suspect that their disappearances, deaths, and even lack of coverage is rooted in anti-blackness.
The following is a list of black people that have been reported missing as of recently. Please note that this is not a complete list (it may never be completed due to the fact that many of these disappearances will still occur as time passes) this may contain inaccurate information. Please inform me if that is the case.
By the time you see this, some of these people may have already been found either alive or deceased. This post will be updated overtime.
It is also heavily encouraged that you reblog this with more links to recent cases of missing black people if you are aware of any that aren’t included on this list.

A viral social media post stating there have been 63 Black children reported missing in Virginia since April 1 underscores a serious issue i
It has to disturb something in a black Usamerican when they see a post talking about a worrisome rise in anti-blackness and the first two examples are "racist internet trend in China" and only the THIRD thing is "lots of black people are getting murdered and disappeared in the USA"
You are not dealing with the imperialist propaganda very well if this is your priority list, I'm not sorry for saying that
If you paid attention to the beginning of the post, you would note that I said:
1) This is not a full list.
2) This will be updated with additional information and new topics.
These are the things that are currently happening in the spike of anti-blackness as of recently. When new things pop up during this, this list with be updated.
This take of yours is not the gotcha you think it is.
Also to say something one time:
I am Afro-Caribbean. I am not from nor do I live in the US.
Anti-blackness is not a US specific issue, it’s global. Anti-blackness exists in various corners of the world. Anti-blackness is not exclusive to the US.
This post to be continuously updated was made to spread awareness on the recent spike in anti-blackness regardless of where it’s happening or how it’s happening. You as a black person yourself should understand this.
