When South Africa Dismantled Apartheid, It Did Not End With The Expulsion Of All White South Africans.

When South Africa dismantled apartheid, it did not end with the expulsion of all white South Africans. They became part of the new South Africa, just without the criminal discriminatory oligarchic powers the apartheid goverment had. When Bolivia recognized its indigenous heritage and became a plurinational state, it did not mean that people of European descent were expelled in masse. It meant the recognition of the previously discriminated indigenous and mestizo people of Bolivia and the beginning of a path of integration and revalidation.

What I mean is that it's ridiculous to think that decolonization inherently means mass suffering and relocation, that's what colonization does. Decolonization is recognizing the crimes of colonization, but more importantly, material, political and social steps to give power and self-determination to the exploited native people who were victims of colonialism and imperialism.

In multicultural societies, you don't go like in that Peter Griffin meme with a skin tone chart and saying 'well, you go back to Europe, you go back to Africa, you stay here'. You build a new society on the paradigm of dignity for exploited people and equality under the law. People are acting like this is some sort of fantastic utopia instead of real initiatives that were done in living memory, with successes and failures, as all such initiatives have. One must ask why are some so insistent that multicultural societies can't thrive, especially when for most of history, societies were indeed like that. Consider why you think like that.

I thought it was a funny story when Ayumi said on her birthday all of the staff and members on the H!P concert congratulated her but Hana walked up to her and said "I wonder who's birthday it is today" which annoyed Ayumi. Sakura asked Hana if she felt bad for not realizing it was Ayumi's bday and Hana just went "nah, hehe" which shocked them. It's so refreshing to see that kind of playful energy back in H!P. It levels the playing field when you have seniors of 10+ years.

people SERIOUSLY exaggerate how much control 9-11ki have over MM. was mizuki stealing the spotlight and sabotaging the group... or was she just doing her best under a company that refuses to adapt and change. let's think critically here.

There’s a conspiracy theory with Japanese female wota on twitter thinking Rikako and Mao are dating because a female wota sighted them in public “flirting.” 5ch wota say that’s disgusting and don’t believe it because of ✨homophobia✨ rather than healthy skepticism but do believe those two are very close. I don’t believe the rumors off a “sighting” but is it so hard to believe out of 70+ members a couple of them could be lesbian or bi?
