From the West Indies to Ireland, from Ghana to India, the global North and South reminded people living in rich bubbles that their privilege came at the expense of those around the world whom colonizers viciously and violently trampled. It’s a shame that the world is ending so we won’t be around to see the records of the glorious union between Black Twitter and Irish Twitter which gave Elizabeth the send-off sh…

There’s this whole pattern that’s emerged about how people publicly unseal their test results, and discover this information about their ancestries. What’s going on here?

Report From Paris: Who Is Naomi Klein, Religiously?

…hem/us. Her visit to the Vatican, at the invitation of Cardinal Turkson of Ghana, perhaps the next Pope, was a welcome surprise to her.

…f the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, and archbishop Cape Coast, Ghana: He has spoken strongly against homosexuality and even for a while supported Uganda’s anti-gay law. His 2014 statement that “homosexuals are not criminals” has been interpreted both positively and negatively.
