Tyshawn’s embrace of Colonialism and Enslavement
« on: December 03, 2022, 03:44:49 PM »
As a descendant of the African continent it seems counterproductive given what we have fought and still fight for.

The instagram reactions of children thinking it is so lit and a role model breaks my heart. We are tearing down statues not idolizing tyrants in this day and age.

(Insert Mansa Musa King Skateboards graphic here.)

TJ’s board graphic is great. I’m much more optimistic now.

Ah, so the swastika, iron cross, imagery of Robert Lee, confederate flag is cool on skateboards now too because that is what this is like for my tribe that was conquered and enslaved.

The intent is that you do a few boardslides and it wipes out the graphic, forever cancelling Mansa Musa.



Is it true?  Or did you read it on the slap message board?

I think a criticism/perception that tyshawn has a surface-level grasp of hotep/black power symbols and graphics

A criticism which is pretty off base in my opinion. The board depicts a ruler who oversaw the peak of an intellectual empire in West Africa where the idea of racial inferiority had nothing to do with slavery. It's celebrating the idea of an African culture untouched and unaltered by European colonialism, as well as the hope/fight for the prosperity of a group of people whose humanity has been so brutally attacked since then.

Yes, slavery existed there, as it had in almost every other culture in the history of humankind before it reached extreme levels of racist brutality in the American South.

Edit: also, it doesn't seem like Tyshawn is one to shy away from responding to dm's. Anybody who holds this criticism of his decision to put out this board should ask him about it, like a man.

Step back, brah, the extreme levels of racist brutality in the American South.? That was genteel compared to my people in Africa and the black on black crime that still exists in your America cities.

And, I’m telling you, this African culture is nothing to celebrate and throw off the fireworks in the Times Square, it was brutal and we all should be learning this history and know, and know, we can, and must do better.!
