why do people always do shit like this?
whether it's some white LGBTQ rainbow gorls reaching back to the civil rights/slavery era to compare their issues to ours...on some "yall should know how this feels! 😩 remember when ya'll were...." or mess like this.
Yemen has a clear history of horrible anti-Black racism but a Yemeni leader is asking America to focus on racism against Black Americans
stop using the plight of Black Americans as some sort of weapon against others, or a tool to manipulate us into rallying with you for some shit that aint got nothing to do with us.
. that in itself is super offensive. and racist.
unless YOUR sand munching ass is out there fighting for the cause you're pushing. which i highly doubt you are - considering how that statement wasn't followed by what you're doing for Black Americans OR Black people over there in Yemen.
leave us tf out of your mess.

Quote"Anti-Black Racism is still very present in Yemen, with a discriminatory caste system that is based on skin colour... the fact remains that black Muhamasheen are the biggest victims of systematic injustice and suffering in Yemen throughout history.10 They are subjected to racism through discrimination, contempt, isolation, abuse, the law's failure to protect them, and the insignificance of their lives in the eyes others. They live in segregated "mahawi" (slums) where they have no access to the most basic services."

america needs to mind its business but we all know that never happens
Black Americans ain't got shit to do with this mess tho
If people really care about these issues they're mentioning, they will discuss and address them at times when another topic isn't the focus, instead of just throwing the Black American plight into the mix to one-up the opp in question .
Like...Cut the crap

I think their point is the US needs to handle business at home first before meddling in something half way across the globe.
