Abeg, let them know Wizkid. Dear BET, you can’t treat African artists like trash and get mad when they stop showing up. Rubbish.

Logor: Anthills of Survival

New work from contributing photography Logor. See his introductory post here from last year.

That time, that Lagos bridges spoke That time it reminded you and I Of its awareness of the drag in our tired feet It reminded, that when we´re weary, feeling small When tears are in our eyes,

It said, I may not be able to dry them all but I’m on your side, Walk on mon ami, walk on me When times get rough And friends just can´t be found 

(Poem adapted from Paul Simon’s Bridge Over Troubled Water.)

IN CASE YOU HAVENT HEARD YET

!!!!! MUST READ !!!!!!

Dominican Republic to be ‘Socially Cleaned’ of all Hatians/Dark Skinned Dominicans in two days

In two days about a quarter of a million people will be made stateless. They will have no homes, no passports, and no civil rights. There are several reasons for this, but the primary reason is racism.

 At issue is a ruling by the Constitutional Court in the Dominican Republic to strip away the citizenship of several generations of Dominicans:

According to the decision, Dominicans born after 1929 to parents who are not of Dominican ancestry are to have their citizenship revoked. The ruling affects an estimated 250,000 Dominican people of Haitian descent, including many who have had no personal connection with Haiti for several generations.

Dominican Republic has always had a longstanding hatred towards Haiti for years but what they’re doing is literally taking anyone who’s family lineage cannot be traced back to 1929, and putting them on a one-way bus back to Haiti, whether they were born in the DR or not. They don’t care. 

The US State Department has denounced the Dominican government for this plan, and pointed out that it is a gross violation of human rights according to the U.N. charter.

Below are 5 things you need to know about what is happening in the Dominican Republic:

The DR government has revoked the citizenship of more than 100,000 Dominicans born in the country of Haitian parents.

Many of the Dominican-born Haitians facing the looming threat of deportation have never visited Haiti or know anyone there.

The criteria the government will use in deciding who is to be bussed out of the country is “dark-skinned Dominicans with Haitian facial features.”

The DR government claims to have established a legalization process for Dominican-Haitians wishing to remain in the country, but the system is close-to-impossible, according to sources on the ground.

Even though currently the deportation of Dominic-Haitians persists as only a possibility, all evidence points to it happening.

We were projected to have over 1.1 Trillion dollars worth of spending power this year alone. $1.1 Trillion!!!

Just imagine if we supported our own instead of outsiders preying on industries made and centered for us, if you know what I mean.

I feel like part of the problem is that we aren’t aware of Black owned alternatives to conglomerate retail companies. Which is why we need more promotion of black own business. 

[loveekaee]
