I'm going to write a longer thing on this soon, but like... do you ever think abt how Euro Christians enslaved and murdered ppl from everywhere to spread their murder god's cult and now some of us worship that same god? Does that bother anyone as much as it does me? Like they literally killed so many of us and now we're following that fker?

Fking nope. NOPE.

Let's bring back our goddesses and our gods. Let's restore our traditions. And if our stories have been lost, let's find them. BC for me, following the god of enslavers, rapists, and genociders isnt a fking vibe.

"British financial institutions treated enslaved people as “collateral assets” for loans and mortgages. When debtors defaulted, the banks forced auctions to recover their capital – at one such sale in Rio de Janeiro in 1878, a 22-year-old mother, Caetana, was separated from her three-year-old son, Pio."

‘These connections are overlooked’: how British companies profited from slavery in Brazil long after abolition

Britons learn about the country’s involvement ‘almost as a self-congratulatory narrative’, says historian Joseph Mulhern

This sad rap has a melodic, and catchy beat. Its about many things, like slavery, slums, suicides, mothers, feelings, surving and anger

Have you ever wondered why you share your Scottish surname with a #Jamaican?

If you have any interest in Scottish history, I highly recommend the book "Bought & Sold, Scotland, Jamaica & Slavery" by Kate Phillips. I knew that Scots / #Scotland had a long history of involvement in the slave trade & sugar plantations, but I had no idea of the depth of involvement, especially in #Jamaica. Every level of Scottish society financially benefitted directly or indirectly. An eye-opening read. #slavery

A quotation from Victor Hugo

   You are right, sir, when you tell me that Les Misérables is written for all nations. I do not know whether it will be read by all, but I wrote it for all. It is addressed to England as well as to Spain, to Italy as well as to France, to Germany as well as to Ireland, to Republics which have slaves as well as to Empires which have serfs. Social problems overstep frontiers. The sores of the human race, those great sores which cover the globe, do not halt at the red or blue lines traced upon the map.
   In every place where man is ignorant and despairing, in every place where woman is sold for bread, wherever the child suffers for lack of the book which should instruct him and of the hearth which should warm him, the book of Les Misérables knocks at the door and says: “Open to me, I come for you.”

   [Vous avez raison, monsieur, quand vous me dites que le livre les Misérables est écrit pour tous les peuples. Je ne sais s’il sera lu par tous, mais je l’ai écrit pour tous. Il s’adresse à l’Angleterre autant qu’à l’Espagne, à l’Italie autant qu’à la France, à l’Allemagne autant qu’à l’Irlande, aux républiques qui ont des esclaves aussi bien qu’aux empires qui ont des serfs. Les problèmes sociaux dépassent les frontières. Les plaies du genre humain, ces larges plaies qui couvrent le globe, ne s’arrêtent point aux lignes bleues ou rouges tracées sur la mappemonde.
   Partout où l’homme ignore et désespère, partout où la femme se vend pour du pain, partout où l’enfant souffre faute d’un livre qui l’enseigne et d’un foyer qui le réchauffe, le livre les Misérables frappe à la porte et dit: Ouvrez-moi, je viens pour vous.]

Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
Letter (1862-10-18) to M. Daelli
