EASTER SURPRISE
Spain’s Semana Santa procession can be a bit of a shocker the first time you see it. The Easter festival features costumes that closely resemble those worn by the infamous Ku Klux Klan - a white supremacist cult that’s carried out brutal and deadly acts of violence against African-Americans in the United States. Semana Santa goes back hundreds of years and has nothing to do with the KKK - but it still trips and triggers social media every year.
What do you think? Is the resemblance too close for comfort?

ZUMA: REBUILD WORLD ORDER BRICK BY BRICS
South Africa’s former president Jacob Zuma turns 81 today. His tenure was marred by corruption allegations, and he recently served time for refusing to testify. But while in office, he made some powerful remarks about how Africa was re-defining its place in the world - and the world order along with it. In particular, he championed organisations like BRICS - a club of emerging markets to which SA belongs - as viable alternatives to Western ones, such as the IMF and World Bank, and their ‘paternalistic’ finance capital.

Yoo Telegraph we fixed your headline for you!
Right-wing British newspapers like The Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail love nothing more than whitewashing (excuse the pun) Britain's historical crimes, whether they are related to slavery or colonialism. On this occasion, right-wing commentator Daniel Hannan made the case that Britain should stop apologising for slavery. There is only one problem. Britain has never apologised for slavery! In fact, it was the slave owners, not the enslaved, who were compensated when Britain ended the industrial-scale human trafficking of Africans to the Americas in 1838.
Slavery was the foundation of Britain's economic success. The transatlantic slave trade was the foundation of its industrial revolution, which turned the country into one of the world's wealthiest. It's important to recognise capitalism's rise was built on the exploitation and oppression of enslaved African people. These are facts whether the Telegraph wants to admit them or not!

FATHER OF MEDICINE WAS BLACK

Funmilayo also campaigned hard for female political representation and access to education in Nigeria.
Her late son was Pan-African revolutionary African musician Fela Kuti, who many regard as the pioneer of Afrobeats.
He proudly recalled his mother leading marches against the British regime, and in particular the time she led a protest against the local colonial administration. There, Funmilayo was insulted by an arrogant, young, white official. But she put him in his place, denouncing him to his face as a “rude little rat” and a “bast**d.”
Fela said, “Imagine insulting the highest representative of the British imperial crown in Abeokuta, Oh man! I was proud. People in Abeokuta talked about nothing else but that incident.”
May she continue to rest in peace.

CHRISTIANITY: WHITE MAN'S RELIGION?
Christianity has a long history in Africa that predates any European nation setting foot on African soil, proving that the assertion that Christianity is a white man's religion is neither historically accurate nor theologically correct.
