I ask while posting this in an African country that curiously speaks French (maybe French was like originally from Senegal idk) while planning to vacation in another African country that also curiously only speaks French, with some African friends I made from different African countries that also curiously only speak French.

Found this; the sentiment is utterly ludicrous:

I’m reminded of something I read Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso was saying a few months ago, something about how women in Burkina Faso mourn in black when culturally they used to wear blue; that black was the color favored by the colonizers and not something of their own culture.

Chuds crying about not being allowed to celebrate their culture is just picard

    Funny, I have never once felt pressured to not celebrate my Irish or Scottish heritage. Maybe the problem is not that these idiots want to celebrate their “white” heritage but rather that they want to celebrate the parts of it that enslaved and exterminated innocents and spread evil racist and religious ideologies that persist even to this day?

    The idea of “whiteness” scarred the entire world in a way that will date centuries to recover from, that part of our history should serve as a warning rather than something to celebrate.
