When she said "all you middle class people" she hit flow state with her microaggressions😭😭😭🤞🏽

Imagine if you stood up at work and said “You know who has one hell of a beautiful ass? It’s Carol from accounting. Stand up Carol! Show them your ass!” You’d be fired within the hour but the president gets a pass because everyone has accepted the fact that he’s a scumbag.
Trump: I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss.

The work Pontsho is doing is very important. I first started hearing about US evangelicals in Uganda in the mid-2000s. Since then Uganda has become the most homophobic country in Africa, & that is down to how those people have been able to sway political and public opinion.
I started tracking US evangelical ideology in SA 8 years ago & it’s worsened. It dates back to apartheid but the internet/globalisation makes it easier. This is just one in many examples of what they’re doing & I’m worried that there aren’t enough of us fighting back. It’s BAD.

JHB pride exposes once again that Class solidarity is the only way to fight against the establishment. The official sponsor of JHB pride is complicit in Genocide and is on the BDS boycott list. LGBTQIA+ Palestinians exist and they were buried under rubble.

It’s worth noting that one of the reasons #KwaSizabantu would cite for mercilessly beating my Zulu peers was to beat “the spirit of 1976” out of them. Sometimes it was “the spirit of Steve Biko”. This was often done by a present-day director of @aQuelle water. #YouthDay2023
I will go to my grave still incandescent with rage for the way #KwaSizabantu treated the children in their care. Wondering why? And why I won’t be silenced? Here are just 3 pages from #MissionOfMalice that will give you a glimpse into the hell my Zulu friends experienced there:
