    tell him he’s a honkey and his ancestors were also colonizers + his country performed the most famous genocide of all time

    I mean at the end of the day all of our ancestors were colonizers.

    For example im a muslim Pakistani. Both wouldnt have been possible if the Mughals (Uzbeks/Afghans) didnt conquer India in 16th Century and brought Islam into the indian subcontinent.

    How was this his wife and his family's doing? I know a lot of people believe he sold us out and bent too much for the will of white people but it was really a tough position he was in. Its clear he wanted genuine unity in the country going forward, which I don't think we'll ever have.

    "The blacks, those magnificent examples of the African race who have maintained their racial purity thanks to their lack of an affinity with bathing, have seen their territory invaded by a new kind of slave: the Portuguese."

    "The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations."

    How is this not racist???

    I thought guvara was racist at first but then changed? Pushed for intergtation, had a lot of black people in his army, and was talking about liberation of black folks in Africa? i may be wrong tho

    its more complicated than that, when Che was younger perhaps but when he got older his views changed, here's a good old reddit post about his controversies

    Yeah, I've read those writings too. He was young with an immature worldview. He had just left Argentina where his interactions were limited to white people. Should we list the things that he has done as an ally to Black people all over the world?

    That’s the thing a lot of people don’t realize.

    European colonization in Africa didn’t end until the 1960s and their racist policy in South Africa didn’t end until the 1990s, and of course just because apartheid ended that doesn’t mean the effects were over, it’s still being felt today.

    Africa as a continent has only been free for 60 or so years. If you look at where we are at compared to before and actually take the nuance into it a lot of countries are doing damn good

    Compare that to some European countries who were s*** holes for hundreds of years and went back to being s*** now...Africa is doing great

    I actually couldnt find anything.

    But you cant compare both situations as Gandhi only put his view on india and lived there till his death while Che had contacts with many black cubans etc.

    It’s funny because the west looks at African countries through this lense and pick out the worst of the worst. It’s propaganda

    I could pull up pictures of skid row or some s***hole trailer park in Mississippi or Alabama and use that as representation of the United States, just like they pull up pictures of poverty and try to use that as a representation of the whole continent.

    Africa got 54 countries and it’s huge. Can’t look at it through the European lense.

    A lot of white Eastern European countries are s***holes too notice how they’re never brought up
