hey is anyone else from a multicultural background having trouble coping with the fact that their upbringing was whitewashed and every attempt to get closer to your culture makes you feel like a fraud? no? just me? cool

Hey everyone. Just wanted to say that I’m aware of how I may have come across in the last year. I haven’t really opened up about why but here’s my chance. Basically I was groped. By Muslims. Near school and the school did nothing apart from reprimand me for my school uniform. As you can see, I held a lot of resentment for Muslims and immigrants. Since then I’ve expressed how I’ve felt and put bluntly I was racist. I’ve spent time with other Muslims who are actually great friends now and I see that anger has clouded my view. I’d like to firstly apologise to the black and Muslim community for my behaviour and during these trying times with the pandemic, any of you that need help or provisions and live in the Munich area my family will help. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope we can rebuild the bridges that racism burned down ❤️

Anti-communism is undeniably rooted in racism and colonialism. For what other reason would a reactionary oppose the liberation of the colonized proletariat and the natural progression of humanity? What funny logic do these bigoted white folks use to justify the forced captivity and migration of the African people to America, only to somehow act against the invisible hand of social progression of racial integration? A 21st century example of this photo are all the white republicans opposing the Asian and Chinese community in the United States as suspected agents of the Communist Party of China while happily accepting investments, commerce, and other economic benefits. At its core, the white anglo-saxon protestant is rotten, and must be reeducated in the upcoming proletarian revolution to build a successful multicultural society, similar to the USSR. Even the most exotic looking ethnic Mongolian was able to be treated as an equal to a Russian native in the glorious socialist republic.It is safe to say that the current ethnic relations in China are more progressive than the one of the stagnating American empire.

In the same exact year, fidel castro stated (as he always has throughout the entirety of his life and career) racism to be one of central and most important issues the new revolutionary government would tackle. even whilst he was in the partido ortodoxo (his political ideas were still pretty raw at that point), one of the key believes he held and campaigned for was racial equality.

“Castro’s government promised to get rid of racism in three years, despite Cuba’s violent history of colonialism. Though Cuba never had formal, state sanctioned segregation, privatization disenfranchised Cubans of color specifically.[12] Previously white only private pools, beaches, and schools were made public, free, and opened up to Cubans of all races and classes. Because much of the Afro-Cuban population on the island was impoverished before the revolution, they benefited widely from the policies for affordable housing, the literacy program, universal free education in general, and healthcare.[14] But above all, Castro insisted that the greatest obstacle for Cubans of color was access to employment. By the mid 1980s racial inequality on paper was virtually nonexistent. Cubans of color graduated at the same (or higher) rate as white Cubans. The races had an equal life expectancy and were equally represented in the professional arena.[12][15] Cuba, by 1980, had equal life expectancy rates of Black and white people, a stark contrast from the United States and Brazil who had large inequalities in terms of life expectancies. “

The fact that the Crown Act even needs to exist is beyond me. The fact that only 14 out of 50 states

The fact that the Crown Act even needs to exist is beyond me. The fact that only 14 out of 50 states have passed the Crown Act is not mathing for me. #TheCrownAct promises to abolish #hairdiscrimination, which means you can’t deem someone unprofessional until they cut off their locks so they can be hired, athletes can compete with beads in their hair or they’ll be disqualified, send someone home to change their hairstyle or pull someone aside and say “maybe straighten your hair next time.” its giving slavery, which is how hair discrimination started.

have you experienced hair discrimination? in corporate or on the court? where? let’s name names. comment below

Honoring Birth Culture- Helping Your Adopted Child Connect to their Biological Roots

I was asked a few weeks ago to create a post discussing how adoptive families can incorporate a child’s birth culture into their daily life, in the comments of my other blog post discussing how I was perceived as an ‘ungrateful’ adoptee.

I’m glad that a lot of you seem to understand that I am speaking out to help advocate for children and others who don’t have a platform to do so. So many…

In a World that witnesses the rise and/or resurgence of Racism, Nationalism and Ostracism, I feel happy to see that so many stood up and walked together to set a stand against ideas, principles or doctrines I never thought - until a few years ago - I would have to face to that extent here in Europe one Day again.


In the French language, the expression “c’est dans les vieux pots qu’on fait les meilleures soupes”, that literally translates into “the best soups are cooked in the old pots”, means: “the old methods are the best”. 

One of the equivalent idioms in the English language is: “Experience always wins the day”. 

I like the English expression. It leaves room for re-interpretation. It can be interpreted for the best. Experience is needed to wipe out the Fear. Racism and Ostracism are consequences of Fear: the Fear of the Other, the Fear of other cultures, the Fear of Change.


So, if you think that the best soups are made in the old pots, please instead of heating up old, reactionary, and obscurantic opinions, try to apprehend the expression word-for-word - keep it on the culinary side! 

Cook together with the Other…Open up, Meet the Other, get to know Her/Him, speak with Her/Him, make your own Experience. 

Please don’t Reheat Bullshit that eventually costed the lives of 70-80 millions of fellows within only a few years. Not even one hundred years ago! Bullshit that still kills daily worldwide…
