Sista example comparing/contrasting Black and white children, Anti-Amerikan Afrikan Ebonics vs stingklish.
In the video, she is explaining the thought process of black kids being able to determine conclusions based on prior knowledge while the white kids only used the information in front of them.

Kenyan President William Ruto stood beside Emmanuel Macron and praised France’s renewed push into Africa as “inclusive” and “mutually beneficial.”
But let’s call it what it is.
France has not suddenly discovered equality. It has been pushed out of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, and now it is looking for a new route back into Africa through leaders willing to help rebrand its influence.
From the CFA franc to Niger’s fight over its own minerals, France’s record on the continent is not a partnership. It is extraction, control, and colonial power dressed up in diplomatic language.
Kenya should know better than to help France launder its image in Africa.
In the Early Modern Period (around 1500-1800), West Central Africa (modern day Angola, the Congos, and Gabon) was home to a variety of different types of cloth and clothing. In this video, we discuss some of the textiles, jewelry, and other adornment that people in this region wore to cover up or show off status, primarily focusing on the kingdoms of Kongo, Ndongo, and to a lesser extent Loango. Join us as we explore some Central African Fashion History! This video is part of Untold Black History III, a collaboration for Black History Month discussing interesting and positive Black history from around the world.

Macron’s visit to Kenya was a performance of colonial arrogance.
From schoolchildren being made to look at him like some kind of saviour, to a public forum where he grabbed the room, scolded Africans, and called them disrespectful, to Nairobi roads being shut down for his convoy and even his jog, Macron behaved exactly like colonial power has always behaved in Africa: loud, entitled, intrusive, and convinced that African people exist to listen, clap, and obey.
The most insulting part is not even Macron’s behaviour. It is the African leaders, institutions, and elites who keep making room for this nonsense.
A visitor does not come to your home and order you around. Macron did not come to Kenya to honour Africa. He came to perform power on African soil and everyone who rolled out the red carpet for it should be ashamed.
