These past days I have been bombarded by ignorant people trying to explain my own history to me. I am proudly South African and the experiences of my country and the ramifications of it would make me a disgusting hypocrite for not supporting the Palestinian cause.
South African apartheid and Palestinian apartheid have intrinsically connected since their beginning. The exact same rhetoric used during the South African apartheid era to discredit the resistance is being used against the Palestinian resistance.
The ANC were labeled a terrorist group. Nelson Mandela was labeled a terrorist and was only taken off terrorist watch a few years before his death.
The word terrorist should not be used lightly unless you are willing to call despicable people like Golda Meir, Netanyahu, Bush and the innumerable other warmongering, soulless fascists terrorists as well.
I’ve been receiving comments saying I that I think I’m smarter than everyone with regards to this topic. Obviously, this isn’t true but it is a universal fact that outside of Palestine, South Africans have the most insight on the situation.
So DO NOT preach my history to me. DO NOT try to tell me what Nelson Mandela, Winnie Mandela and the ANC were and were not.
Most of these comments come from privileged white people who live in privileged countries and have never experienced a day of real oppression.

Jonny Steinberg – Winnie & Nelson
Over Nelson las ik al het een en ander, maar Winnie bleef meestal behoorlijk onderbelicht. En dat is met deze biografie rechtgezet. Portret van een huwelijk, is de ondertitel. Wat een huwelijk. Alleen het begin al. Hij was nog getrouwd, zij hield er een ander vriendje op na, want je wist maar nooit. Dan stiekem in een klein dorp, ver van alles, trouwen en een jaar later door een flinke…

Work begins on Britain's first centre to the anti-apartheid movement
Tumblr media
WORK on Britain’s first centre dedicated to the anti-apartheid movement is set to begin in London following a £1.2 million National Lottery Heritage Fund grant, a charity has announced.
As the Morning Star reported, the site of the former headquarters of the African National Congress (ANC) in Penton Street, Islington, will be restored to create the Anti-Apartheid Legacy Centre of Memory & Learning, social justice body the Liliesleaf Trust said.
Between 1978 and 1994, the building was a hub for coordinating international opposition to South African apartheid, a system of institutionalized racial segregation designed by the descendants of white settler populations.
The London site was home to ANC leaders Oliver Tambo and Thabo Mbeki, who eventually replaced Nelson Mandela as South African president in 1999 following the country’s transition to inclusive democracy.

HEROES: MY HEROES ACTUALLY HAVE REAL SUPER POWERS
When Liberian-born, American-raised multidimensional contemporary artist Bart Cooper showed a young man a picture of Harriet Tubman, she was unrecognizable to him by name. “I think that’s the Underground Railroad lady,” he replied, confirming that he knew very little of Harriet’s contributions to American society. Bart then showed the young man an image of the Superman emblem and his eyes lit up, “Of course I know who that is,” the young man exclaimed, “that’s Superman! The greatest superhero to ever live!”
This interaction with the young man became an enlightening observation for Bart as he reflected on the disparity between our recognition of popular culture’s fictitious heroes versus those who actually exist. Here it was, a young man who could recognize a comic book superhero character simply by his emblem, yet know next to nothing about one of our nation’s greatest heroes who shaped our time. The heroes Bart grew up believing in deserved just as much, or better yet more, recognition as their popular counterparts. They share similar stories and in turn similar powers in the face of opposition, but only one is real and deserves to always be remembered.
In “Heroes: My heroes actually have real superpowers,” Bart Cooper invites you to experience the first volume of what being a superhero looks like through the lens of popular culture, and what better way to do that than by paying homage to the most popular comic book characters and American history’s leading ladies of justice and change. With each work measuring 48” x 48” inches in length, Heroes brings us face-to-face with ten powerful women who stand united in their quest for a more free and equal world. Bart invites you to reflect on the shared characteristics and superpowers of these heroes, as he strategically intertwines the real with the fictitious characters of modern-day heroism through the contemporary use of mixed media. His selection for the first volume are in no doubt powerful women who incited change through bold acts of courage, grit, and grace and very easily match-up to Marvel and DC’s version of heroes with similar backstories of supernatural powers. “Their struggles, their trials and tribulations, their willingness to fight through showed strength and resilience. These people had powers and practiced them rigorously, and not only for themselves, but for others.” Each piece guides us deeper into the minds of these heroes, allowing us to experience their actual words and writings that serve as proof of their raw power and existence. He took these superhero’s powers and used them to move through his trauma, his struggles, his life, in hopes that others can do the same. Heroes was birthed with the intent to spark dialogue and trigger an internal examination of the superpowers we all have within.

I’m never going to condemn Russia
I’m never going to condemn Palestine/hamas
I’m never going to condemn China
I’m never going to condemn the Somalian coast guard
I’m never going to condemn the Eff
I’m never going to condemn the MK
I’m never going to condemn Winnie Mandela and her actions.
Die mad about it. Unfollow, block, threaten, scream, hate crime me, I don’t give a fuck. The real villains are in Western Europe and the United States of America and the illegitimate state of Israel and NATO.
