It's everywhere, but how many of us on this app force others into collective "identities" like "people of colour", to try to force solidarity on to those we've harmed and stop an actual understanding of history. Our violence offloaded on to "white supremacy". From east Africa then, to the west today

Nothing exceptional about Uganda other than the expulsion. We played this role all over east Africa. We go on how the British kept us out of jobs rather than us keeping e.g. Black Kenyans down, in their own country (many fled Kenya terrified of their "Africanisation" policy) bsky.app/profile/jona...
How the British encouraged south Asians to colonise Uganda in the 1920s as the administrative class of civil servants. And how "whites only" spaces became "whites and Asians only" spaces, with Black Ugandans reduced a servitude class to both groups www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w...

(The earlier import of south Asian indentured labour would also later populate this administrative class. Families of conservative European politicians like Priti Patel and of progressive settlers like Zohran Mamdani, e.g. his father above. The u.s. "discourse" on this clear history is, you know ⚰️)
