Sending love to and feeling inspired by my resillient friends resisting intergenerational violence, whether at marches or elsewhere <3 Reposted from Whitney Syphax Walker: "Shoutout to the Black bodies who were detained, beaten, and broken so y'all could be called 'peaceful protesters'....I hope everyone makes it home safely. I hope our ancestors are proud of the work done and the influence it continues to have. I hope more compassion will be had the next time a marginalized group uses these same tactics to promote awareness to their struggles [BLM]. I hope those women out there leave prepared to march for folks other than themselves in the future."

...what about black Indians?

Or are we going to completely ignore the fact that there’s black people who live (/lived) in India for hundreds of years now, because some people are openly afraid to tie blackness to their cultures?

Example: The Siddis (Afro-Indians) are a tribal population whose members live in coastal Karnataka, Gujarat, and in some parts of Andhra Pradesh. Historical records indicate that the Portuguese brought the Siddis to India from Africa about 300–500 years ago; however, there is little information about their more precise ancestral origins.
