Nation States Don't Have Rights: Israel-Palestine + A Black European Experience W/Helio (@JupiterBaal) - S2 EP14 In this week's Black Rant, Kehinde Andrews highlights how Whiteness is going to kill us all if Israel-Palestine takes us to the brink of World War 3. This week, Kehinde Andrews is joined by official guest Helio Figueiredo aka Jupiter Baal (on socials, links below). They chop it up about Israel-Palestine, White-washed Portuguese Black history, being a recovering "exceptional" negro and more. - Helio Figueiredo (@jupiterbaal) was born and raised in Portugal, he studied archaeology at the University of Coimbra. Following graduation, Helio left Portugal for London where Helio worked in finance (in due diligence, compliance, political exposure) for ten years in the City. In 2018 Helio left finance to work full time as an artist. Post George Flloyd (2020) Helio started talking on social media about policy, history, the queer experience and so much more. - Black World News Links Ta-Nehisi Coates on the power of stories, new book, "The Message" (CBS interview) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgWt-QcPYMo Kemi Badenoch: 'Israel is showing moral clarity in dealing with its enemies' (Sky News Interview 5:50>) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAGqQ_0BBSU Migrants who come to Britain must uphold its traditions, not change them by Kemi Badenoch (Telegraph Quote)"Culture is more than cuisine or clothes. It’s also customs which may be at odds with British values. We cannot be naïve and assume immigrants will automatically abandon ancestral ethnic hostilities at the border, or that all cultures are equally valid. They are not. I am struck for example, by the number of recent immigrants to the UK who hate Israel. That sentiment has no place here."
