#OTD 30.7.1898 starb Otto v Bismarck.
Bis heute wird er als einiger Deutschlands bewundert, seine unrühmliche Rolle im Kolonialismus wird verdrängt. Nicht nur machte er das Deutsche Reich zur Kolonialmacht, er wirkte an entscheidender Stelle bei Aufteilung Afrikas mit. /2

Are you ready for the havoc Anadol will likely wreak on this article?

It’s like they are actively trying not to learn anything from the Mamdani campaign

Such an Aquarius thing to say!

Saving Muslim Women - Public Books The 2015 Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris—along with the brutal activities of ISIS—have spurred a resurgence of concern about Islam in Western media. New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof fretted .....

"...the preoccupation with Muslim women’s liberation enables feminist (and other) activists to feel a transcendent moral purity, unburdened by any sense of their own complicity in global inequalities, armed interventions, or military occupations. "

Grim news from Germany. A black family, who had previously experienced several incidents of racial harassment, was the victim of a suspected arson attack on Monday. One child is dead, the other is in critical condition. A fundraiser for them is here: www.gofundme.com/f/unterstutz...

Rassismus in Wilhelmshaven: Kind stirbt bei mutmaßlichem Brandanschlag Bei einem Feuer in einem Mehrfamilienhaus in Wilhelmshaven starb ein vierjähriges Kind. Die Familie hatte zuvor rassistische Anfeindungen erlebt.

WTF: Warum gibt es dazu keinen Brennpunkt und keine Sondersendung.
Das Deutschland, dass wir kriegstüchtig verteidigen sollen, bricht uns unter unserem Hintern weg, und (fast) keinen juckts.
Die offene Gesellschaft muss auch im Inneren verteidigt werden

so nice to be in conversation about my new book “Racializing Caste”. You can listen to the podcast below. We talked about the hauntings of German scientific racism in India, the shortcomings of biological anthropology, and the problems of geneticists researching on the so-called “Aryan migration”.

My conversation with dear @thiago-barbosa.bsky.social on his wonderful book, Racializing Caste (@degruyterbrill.bsky.social), is out on the @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social!

Harvard hired a researcher to uncover its ties to slavery. He says the results cost him his job: ‘We found too many slaves’ When the extent of the university’s involvement with slavery was unearthed, a scholar tracking descendants of enslaved workers was suddenly fired

“The university was afraid that identifying descendants would bankrupt the university… The work that he oversaw is “just the tip of the iceberg”, he added, estimating that the numbers of living descendants could be about 10,000 people.”

(4/5) The last well-known case of forced sterilization happened to an Indigenous woman in 2018/2019. Eugenics never ended in Canada; it just slightly changed shape. This nation continues to commit genocide against many Indigenous Peoples in countless ways.

Namibia to mark German colonial genocide for first time with memorial day Concentration camps and pseudoscientific experiments were used by German officials to torture and kill.

Germany: we have a global and colonial past. We're accountable for what happened. Murdered souls and their families are still yearning for justice and peace.
