Yeah we just found a bunch of Indigenous children in a mass grave so this bitch can STFU.
Side note: nothing makes my blood boil more than when black people refer to themselves as “Indigenous people”, especially after going to South Africa and seeing how blacks treat the Indigenous Khoisan...
Just horrific. I mean, most Canadians, Indigenous or not, kind of knew bodies were there we just never had concrete evidence of such.
They had a memorial service at the Stanley Cup Playoffs the other night, before the game. Well, one of the teams playing, the Montreal Canadiens, their...
This is a new activity I picked up during the pandemic. I get exercise outside and I'm 6 feet away from other people.
Anybody else try it?
Unfortunately I cannot post a video of myself in action because I could lose my handgun permit if I posted myself using a firearm on social media (weird...
Here's some I like:
Masaman is an anthropology channel, with information on many different peoples. Here's one on my ethnic group:
From Nothing is a good African history channel I've been watching a lot of lately. I don't know much about African history and this channel is a good source of...
If you were surprised by metal being popular in Africa, actually country music is even more popular, at least in southern Africa (South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, etc.)
A couple videos by white South African country artists were shared but I'll show you one of the more...
Police brutality has gotten REALLY bad during the pandemic by the police enforcing quarantine. I was on the receiving end of it myself back in December.

“Defund the police” is kind of a bad slogan, when what really they want is to reallocate money from the police budget towards social programs like mental health, to prevent such encounters between cops and civilians.
And I mean, framing it in another way, strengthening community resources could...
It was actually illegal to own a slave who was Muslim, so no, not many Moroccans or other groups ended up as slaves.
The few who did end up enslaved ended up being freed.
one example:

Morocco was the only country at the time to...
And yeah black people not liking metal is a stereotype. Actually the time I spent in Africa made me really notice how black people in North America are pigeonholed into one archetype and that’s what they are.
Like in North America, black people are just black people and they listen to rap and...
No, there are lots of black people playing good metal as well.
And this band was supposed to get their big break, they were supposed to go on a world tour with Kiss but then coronavirus hit so it was canceled. They put on online live shows every now and then.
There's some good metal coming...
My PSN username is Souriquois.
I’m not online very often, however. An hour here and there.
Been online more during the COVID lockdowns, but still not a hardcore gamer.
