Ukraine pretends it's ancient, but there was no state or people called Ukraine in Rus'. Rus' was just Rus'.
In the chronicles, "Ukraina" is simply a word for a borderland. Even "Kievan Rus" is a label invented by 19th-century historians. Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians all come from the same Rus': one dynasty, one Church, one written language. And Rus' didn't even begin in Kiev. According to the Primary Chronicle, Rurik began ruling in Ladoga and Novgorod in 862, both in today's Russia. Kiev became the capital only in 882, when Prince Oleg took it and called it the "mother of Rus' cities."

WATCH: A historian explains why the form of servitude that existed in pre-colonial Africa was fundamentally different from the brutal chattel slavery imposed by European imperialists.
While indigenous African systems resembled indentured servitude, European chattel slavery stripped human beings of all dignity, reducing them to the status of livestock and disposable commodities. Furthermore, this capitalist system of chattel slavery was deliberately sustained through the influx of European firearms and the engineering of regional wars, all designed to facilitate the relentless extraction and plunder of the African continent.

I realized Blaze (Toy Story 5) is the first time Disney created a Black kid for theaters. Meanwhile, we’ve seen over a dozen other minorities.
I get liking young women but why oh why is there an obsession to want to break the law by pursuing underage age girls??!! If we change the age of consent you’d still want to break the law & hurt these children!!! wtf?!!??

Why Pan-Africanists Are More Influential Than Black Billionaires
Organiser and podcaster Diallo "Brother Diallo" Kenyatta argues that Pan-Africanists are the real “Black elites.”
Does a person’s “net worth” make a difference for African liberation?

Honestly bro, I blame us for not having the research to read into West African history or having the backbone to defend African history as whole. You don’t need to wait for them to say something for us to know about the ancestors prior to slavery

He wasn’t flaunting crazy!! He was going to Mecca and he had to pay his tithe. Paying your tithe is relative to your total wealth… it’s not his fault he was balling
