"For some students, the song about the Congo is like the macarena"

"I don't know and it's unacceptable but it's pure provocation (...)"

"They would have to respect us first and behave in this country and only then, we whites shall respect them"

"Why do we have to bear the consequences for what Leopold has done about 150 years ago ?"

Hey guys! Welcome back to my channel. This is a special video that we're making today.

Kind of an emergency video cause ...

... things happened, here in Belgium.

I have a special guest here. This is my friend Sandrine Moponami.

She has a bachelor in International Entrepreneurship

She also did a focus on Subsahara Africa

That's the reason why I brought here. She is going to explain a lot of things that a lot of people don't know.

Don't forget to check out the subtitles. I wrote subtitles in French and English.

For all my French speakers. The subtitles are right here, just click on the "CC" button.

Click on "French" to be able to follow what we're about to say.

The reason why we're doing this is just to make sure everybody can understand what we're about to say.

So, where to begin ?

Just to clarify

I'm not reading off but I stutter

so I need that support.

At the end it doesn't matter because I wrote everything myself.

Let's start with the disclaimers:

This is not a debate nor a way to create division, that's obviously already there.

But staying silent means acceptance in our eyes.

We did hesitate on making this video because we fear reprisals.

But then we realised we don't live in dictatorship so ...

And if the guilty ones can get away with a trip to the African museum. Why wouldn't we speak out ?

Totally agree with that.

We are going to start with a video of the incident that happened @ Pukkelpop festival.

We chose to show the video explicitly because ...

... we believe that the story around it doesn't really matter much because the facts are there.

We are not going into what both parties could have said.

With that being said.

lyrics: "Cut the hands off. The Congo is ours. The Congo is ours"

lyrics: "Pick up the diamonds. The Congo is ours. The Congo is ours."

Some people really think it's not that bad.

They don't see how deep this is.

After reading some of the reactions I realised that people think

You guys were born here, it doesn't concern you. You didn't go through that.

As if we are not Congolese ...

As if we ...

Our parents ... Our grandparents. As if we don't have family in Congo.

And ...

It only ...

I don't know how to say it, I'm too mad.

We want to address why this isn't just a song.

Because after reading the excuses of the guilty party,

who stated that it wasn't his intention to hurt anyone,

we have our doubts about that because if that wasn't your intention, there are plenty of other songs on earth that you can sing.

You are not going to be singing song that dates back from the colonial era.

How do these young men uberhaupt know that song ?

I am now going to sketch the history real quick.

So that it's clear on why this is unacceptable.

During the Berlin conference in 1884 - 1885, Leopold received the sovereignty (the supreme power) over Congo

So it became his private property.

One of Leopold's reasons for that was financing the urbanization of Brussels among other things.

With the profits, he financed the Basilica of Sacred Heart

and the Zoo of Antwerp.

Through an international campaign against Leopold's reign of terror in Congo,

that was more out of own interest of the Britains than of outrage.

In 1905, a committee of inquiry was sent to Congo to investigate what was really going on.

These accusations were confirmed in a report.

Because of this, Belgium bought Congo over in 1908.

This annexation of Congo read the area of the Belgian Congo.

With help from the catholic church, there where missionaries sent to contribute to the civilization of the people.

Thanks to a program that has six pillars.

In 1920, that mission got subsidised through a budget law because it got the statute or national missions.

Rarely is there mention of the segregation that took place and what the people had to go through.

The Congolese évolués that were sufficiently assimilated with the European society,

realized in 1958 that this couldn't go on any longer.

They activated the decolonisation ... More so obtaining of independence.

But let's not forget about the decolonisation wave that took place ...

... we can't forget about it because

Belgium had no choice but to leave Congo to avoid more chaos.

The fact that the monarch never set a foot in Congo is an argument they often use to minimize everything.

Without taking into account with the fact that the facts haven been documented.

But since negationism deeply ingrained the European society, it's not a surprise.

According to the internet is the definition of "negationism" :

Denying or extremely minimizing generally accepted historical events.

Despite all the evidences people still want to question things.

There's a lack of empathy.

Where's Belgium's responsibility in the murder of Patrice Lumumba after he criticized Leopold's reign of terror ?

While Boudewijn was praising the monarch ...

Or the support of the West to Mobutu's regime ...

... until the end of the cold war in 1990 ?

The only reason why I'm bringing this up is because so many time I read ...

... that this is so long ago. That we worry for nothing

That it's been 150 years ago ?

I don't know what's been calculated with that ? Maybe the start of Congo Free State ?

I'm not so sure ...

Whilst Belgium had a contribution from the start.

Congo Free State was actually founded thanks to two big loans that Leopold received.

How is it expressed in todays society ?

It is so that this whole thing is not a compulsory subject matter in our history classes that we take.

I remember at school ...

We've seen the subject but it was very vague and on the surface.

Then I had to do my own research and chile, I was shook!

Mostly, only the positive aspects are being brought up.

I remember two years ago a classmate told me how we should be grateful because without Belgium, Congo would be nothing.

I mean ...

If this is what the youth believes. Then that's scandalous.

I don't think German students would ever dare saying something like this.

In our history classes, the Romans and the Greeks are being spoken about for an indefinite period of time.

We don't care about that. Okay ?

The Greeks and the Romans are being spoken of to the smallest details meanwhile, we have to discuss our topic.

Because we're dealing with a big diaspora whose added value is being questioned.

Without making the link to it's colonial past.

And why do we uberhaupt have to be of general interest to be here in the first place ?

I think it has to do with being the "good" immigrant. Being the exemplary immigrant.

Who "deserves" to be here.

As soon as you do something that's "unacceptable". They link you to your roots. They label you as the stereotype.

Why does racism get dismissed as something relative ?As a feeling ?

As something that can be provoked ?

Racism is a mindset.

Racism is a structure. Where one feels superior than the other.

The conscience and the "incidents" that are still going on today,

goes to show that there's still work to be done.

Especially when our reactions get dismissed as racist.

Or as ...

Or as we playing victims ?

But is it that surprising knowing that conversations about the past always emerge in nuances and spirit of age

when it's about the colonization and how black people are considered in society.

In a country where they organized a tribute to Leopold in December 2015

And according to ...

... according to the public opinion, the polemics were unfair.

Can you imagine ?

The reply from the council on the commotion was:

"That Leopold might have been a controversial figure but he also achieved a lot of good things."

At what price ?

At what price ?

That's the question.

What he did in Congo hasn't even been labeled as genocide ?

It hasn't been labeled as a genocide.

From what I could've read is the reason: the numbers aren't really trustworthy.

Some say it's 3 million deaths others say it's 12 million deaths.

But what we're sure of is there were millions of deads.

That's sufficient, believe me.

The tribute to Leopold got cancelled after heavy protests.

But

This is not an isolated incident.

When the Minister of Foreign Affaires dressed up as "noirauds" (blackface)

The reply from Brussels City to the "Koninklijk Werk der Wiegjes Prinses Paola" (noirauds party) was

That it's only a sympathetic initiative that has to be clarified otherwise people would take it the wrong way.

Why do you want to hold on to traditions that outflow from a shameful past ?

That everybody would rather forget.

But that for the "sake" of the next generations, "can't" be forgotten.

Situations are always being reversed.

"What if ?" "What if we would say something like this ?"

But ...

... that's what happens daily.

If we want to address racism or discrimination,

it gets dismissed as unimportant.

Just because of simple the fact that racism is structural and institutional, it will continue to happen.

What matters is how it's being dealt with.

When a country ...

When a country doesn't recognize the colonial past, how do you expect the youth to take responsibility ?

Youth that knows a colonial song from 1926 ?

I got so many questions.

Yeah, I got many questions too.

Who taught you that ? How did you get the lyrics ?

Being druk is never a reason.

For that very reason, when you're drunk it means that the truth appears.

Cause what you say when you're drunk, is what you think sober.

*quoting one of my friends*

There are even Ministers trying to explain this whole incident away,

saying that they should have left ...

Why do we have to handle racism by stepping away ?

Why do we have to keep silent ?

Why do we have to watch our words ?

This is not a "we - them" situation but just to show that this is a battle that was going on and currently still is going on.

In Belgium, it's mainly hidden racism.

Hidden racism means that it's not directly being voiced.

Often, they often think because it's not directly being voiced, that it's not malicious.

For exemple, you can't get a certain job.

Because it's often being said on the internet "yeah but what about us Belgians ? What about us real Belgians ?"

So ... What are we ?

It creates a dent in the identity of a lot of young people.

They can't identify with their homeland and neither with the country that "adopted" them.

We are more being tolerated than really accepted.

Honestly, from all the non-black people that we know, only a few condemned this.

I got a lot of questions about that too.

I think it's guilty conscience.

Could be.

But also the discomfort to talk about it.

But ...

... not talking about it doesn't make it disappear.

It ensures that it becomes a taboo and that people must "fear" speaking out.

There are people that are afraid of letting speaking out ...

... out of fear for the consequences .

Being unable to find a job, being rejected ... by friends or similar.

Risk your career ...

... but

Like I said in the beginning, we put a lot of thoughts about making this video.

And honestly, it's worth it to me.

And if it would happen, it shows once again the kind of society we live in.

We realize that if we silently watch things happen ...

... our kids and the next generations will still fight for equality.

Often it is pretend that the babysteps should be celebrated but

we shouldn't even be having to make a video in the first place.

But the fact that much was questioned.

The fact that the situation totally got reversed.

Motivated us to do this.

Because once again, for us keeping quiet is accepting and we definitely don't accept this.

What triggers me is that people are more sensitive to being called racist than

than focusing on what's happening. What's currently really going on. That's really something that triggers me.

Can't you see what's going on ?

Not only that. It's being said that we pull out the racial card and so on.

But you can't be making racist-tinted statements and not be labeled as such.

You have to call a cat, a cat.

What I really like is ....

Despite all the opposition that we get. There are still people who really realize what's going on.

And they don't need to be black.

This is what a girl said: "I think what's happening is really bad. The worst thing is in fact that people are trying to find excuses."

"I mean the song itself, is awful.

"Who taught them that ? The people trying to find excuses for this are probably parents"

"I wonder how they raised their kids"

"I am afraid of it myself. I am mad at this situation."

"I am white, I don't go through this but I can only imagine how it feels and it must be 100 time worse for you."

"How is it still even possible ? Did they look up the definition ?"

"Look at our ministers, state secretaries, all white people!"

"The only thing you guys have is a voice and nobody has the right to blame you for that!"

This explains everything broadly.

Sandrine: "The purpose is really to speak out." Chloé: "That's least we can do!"

We are not searching for replies. We are not open for discussion.

Because some things are simply factual.

If you can't even acknowledge facts, I don't what we can talk about because

I learned to not go in discussions with people who can't give substantiated arguments.

That's it. There's no point.

Did you know there's a correlation between a low IG and racism ?

"Really ?" "Yeah"

People with a low IQ are more inclined to be racist later on.

Thank you for coming.

To educate uneducated people.

We kept it short and bold to point out certain fact, firstly.

And secondly, it's about research, show interest.

Ignorance ...

doesn't count, it really doesn't count.

Also the reason why I mainly spoke is because she would be an emotional speaker.

and

I don't think we need this to be clear.

Like we said this is NOT a debate. This is factual. Everything we stated are facts.

This is also to stand by our people.

Everybody has experienced racism. Everybody can tell a story.

At elementary school, at your workplace.

But it's swept under the rug and dismissed as illusions.

"It's not that bad"

I always say: "you can't tell somebody to get over things you didn't go through."

The SECRET to Why Murda Beatz Is DOMINATING 2018! - Duration: 7:25.

What's poppin yall; with Metro Boomin being on a break this year, Murda Beatz took the

place of the top rap producer/beat maker.

It's no surprise hearing his producer tag on a song anymore and it also being one of

the better producer tags; both the regular one and the kodak black one.

He's been a great producer for years but the second half of 2017 and 2018 is where

he's really come to finally get the shine he deserves.

Before we get into it; like the video and please subscribe and hit the notification

bell so you never miss a video.

Also follow me on instagram its on the screen; I do mini album reviews, first reactions,

and any content that isn't long enough to make it onto the YouTube channel.

I didn't know what murda beatz looked like for the longest time; I don't think he was

trying to hide it but I just never really search for producers on social media and they

aren't in music videos so they're less visible than rappers.

I thought he was just some trap nigga in the bando with the Migos because that's how

I first heard of him, way back in 2014 on Migos No Label 2.

He was on 4 tracks on that mixtape, two tracks on Rich Nigga Timeline, five on their debut

album Yung Rich Nation, and every Migos project after that, YRN 2, Culture, Back to the Bando,

and Culture II.

He was known for collaborating with the Migos and I thought he was from Atlanta but he's

really from ONTARIO, Canada.

Not even in America, I can't tell you how much of a surprise that was to me.

He REALLY started getting placements in 2016; being on Views, DC4, and Birds in the Trap

and at the end of that year released his own mixtape Keep God First.

This mixtape really went under the radar and is an underrated project, some standout songs

are Novacane, Growth, and Yacht Master.

In 2017 he would have multiple tracks that go platinum; Butterfly Effect with Travis

Scott, Portland on Drake's Views, It's A Vibe and 4 AM from 2 Chainz Pretty Girls

Like Trap Music, and Zayn's still got time featuring PartyNextDoor.

2018 is the year of murda beatz though, from producing I Do on Cardi B's debut album

Invasion of Privacy, multiple songs on Culture II, FEFE with Nicki Minaj and 6ix9ine peaking

at #3 on billboard, and of course his first number 1 song Drake's Nice for What from

the Scorpion album.

Murda Beatz also released his own collaborative project exclusively producing Bless Yo Trap

with XXL Freshman Smokepurpp.

Now if yall been following me for a while you know I don't enjoy smokepurpp's music

but man murda beatz production on this whole thing was TOO fire for me to not enjoy it

and they work really well together.

One thing I've realized that's similar about Metro Boomin and Murda Beatz is that

they brand themselves.

Murda Beatz is in the music video for FEFE, you usually don't see that from most producers.

They have both released projects with their name on them; Metro Boomin doing multiple,

Double or Nothing and Perfect Timing just being two.

Murda Beatz has done Keep God First and Bless Yo Trap, two projects that have his name stamped

on them and also appearing in the music video for 123.

They understand the importance of branding yourself; most producers are just content

with being in the studio and having big placements and working with different rappers but nobody

really knowing who they are unless they dig into rap music which most don't.

The advantages producers like murda beatz and metro boomin get from having their own

brand and being as recognizable as most rappers are several.

Number one, they get to sell merchandise, If most producers were to sell merchandise

nobody would buy it, most people would just say who the hell are you?

And even if they say what songs they produced the reply would just be AND?

Why should I care?

Murda beatz and Metro Boomin are more than just producers they're public figures and

are VISIBLE, so people care more.

Seeing them always beside rappers in music videos for songs they produced makes them

look like PEERS and EQUALS to the fans, not just some guy that the rapper pays to make

beats in some studio dungeon.

They can also do their own shows; not only does everyone know the songs that they play

but they are popular enough and have a strong enough fan base of their own that they could

just do shows just DJing their own music and the biggest hits they got; or even adding

in some songs that they weren't apart of and people would go watch it.

Metro Boomin did this a lot last year and even in 2016 if I recall correctly and this

is a huge bag because they can just do this as a supplement to their income from the rest

of the stuff that they do.

Metro Boomin stepping aside really put the spotlight and allowed for Murda Beatz to shine

and he took that golden opportunity and ran with it.

Sure, he would still be big even if Metro Boomin never took the break that he did but

it would be much more difficult because people would say he's in his shadow.

Now if metro were to come back they would be seen as equals; with their own separate

brands, not someone trying to be like somebody else.

It sounds stupid but this is how people think, they just won't admit it.

Producers with their own brand have their own fan bases; most producers or beat makers

are just known for their songs.

Oh you're the guy that produced whatever track and their careers are attached to that.

They don't have fans, they have people that enjoyed the song that they made.

There's a difference; if you were to put a show would they come?

Probably not.

If you were to sell merch would they buy?

Probably not.

But they would do that for the rapper you produced for.

When producers build a brand THEY become loved and get their own fans who will support them

financially and not just listening or buying a song.

A lot of producers might think that people that buy or listen to their music is for them

since they make the beat which usually carries the song and sure they may be right about

the second half but the reason they buy or stream the music is because they love the

rapper, not you.

You're just the icing on the cake and they'd listen to that rapper regardless if you were

making the beat for the track or not.

Dr. Dre is the biggest example of what can be done when you build a personal brand as

a producer although he was doing rapping on his songs as well.

Lemme know in the comments; when was the first time you heard the murda beatz producer tag

and what's your favorite song from him?

I'll be checking all the comments.

peace!

Spanish Teacher - This is me - Duration: 3:00.

Do you order the same things in a bar in Spain

than in a bar in your country?

For example,

in Germany

they order sparkling water

but in Spain we always order still water.

And, also in Germany,

they order gluehwein in Christmas.

But in Spain

we always order very cold white wine

and, always, warm red wine.

For example,

do you know that in Spain

we order coffee on ice in the summer,

and red wine

mixed with a cola soft drink?

Do you know that we order red wine

mixed with soda,

and beer mixed

with lemonade?

What do you normally order in a bar?

Do you order a tea with lemon?

Or a tea with milk?

Explain to me what is it that

you normally order in a bar in your country.

Match the words in these three columns

and make a sentence, or sentences,

like in the example:

A coffee with milk

with very hot milk

and without sugar.

Your turn!

This is Why Insatiable is Hard to Watch - Duration: 5:46.

So let's talk about the Netflix show insatiable now, I know that I'm a really slow editor

so at a time that I post this video the hype over all the show will probably have died down but

With that being said, there's no shortage of problems in this show

And in fact, if you're watching this video, you've probably heard a whole bunch of videos if you're anything like me

It's all over the place the parody of itself. It's based on a reality TV show yada yada yada

None of these are the problems that I have with it, though

My main problem is that none of the characters in this show are likable at all

Debby Ryan's character Patty's mother is literally a bootleg copy of Bonnie, from cbs' Mom.

A recovering addict with an attraction the danger goes through the whole 12 step process which is commendable and then she just leaves her

child daughter to quote unquote and grow up guys best friend Nonnie is so insecure about

everything that

When she made the choice to start to learn about herself

It seems so forced

there were lines that character that had, that a person with this life in real life would never say but

Regardless of that her and Donald Choi were definitely my favorite characters

Even though they both seemed to be very one-track mind with that tract being sex. I mean they even had their own

fling thing which was weird because until that point I just saw their relationship as

Platonic. Brick being the love interest that we're supposed to prefer that

Patty has is so weird because the relationship literally starts off on like the rudest level ever

Imaginable rooting for them is really really weird

I couldn't get over that but you know, he's much better than the guy that literally kidnapped her. And then she killed

And then on top of that the whole relationship seemed like a weird

Vengeance thing. Speaking of father's Patty's some throwaway Baldwin character

Who is there because cameos are cool just happened to rape Patty's mom, Bob Bladell

We hate because the other Bob does I mean even though he seems like a stand-up guy

I don't see what is going on. It seems very stressed

I guess that's whatever this was can go on forever

And ever the worst thing is that we can't even like the two main characters

That were introduced to because we don't even know them. They don't even know themselves

Bob is a character that we learned to know exactly what he wants whatever he wants

He gets it because he knows what he wants and then we learned that he has no idea what he wants to the point

Where he tries to kill himself and then Patty saves him which of course he does

But the most disappointing thing is that we can't even like paddy. I mean, yes, she's the main character

Yes it's her story but my gosh does this girl have problems she starts off with?

Being the parent daughter and absent immature mother-daughter relationship not knowing her dad like what just fine

none of that's not her fault so we can give her slack for being problematic

I would have loved for them to approach the body

Dysmorphia thing in more seriousness or and more death because that's a huge issue

But you know, whatever. That's not the point in the show

It's like a dark comedy. Ha ha ha that's not a funny topic

But you know, it's real it's true. Every single chance a petty has to make a choice or option

She chooses the worst possible

Option she starts eating to lose weight which needs her to punch a guy in the face when she loses her weight

She falls in love with her lawyer finds a homeless man that she assaulted and plots to set him up for statutory rape

Then tries to murder him tells him that he should die then he does

I mean, that's not her fault

You know still she tampered with the witness on

Her own case on film and that's only in the first one to two episodes of the series

This doesn't even count her two murders

Literal possession of herself from consuming her twin or whatever demon

running away outing someone that was close to her and

I'm just gonna stop there because this is getting ridiculous

My point is that we can't root for her and you know from the set up of the show that she is going to win

All the pageants that she needs to win wah

Wah wah to be the best pageant person ever and beep the characters that we are meant to hate blah blah blah

But honestly every single time the patty was in a pageant I couldn't help but hope that somebody else would win now

I don't hate the show. It's definitely not boring to say the least. I just gotta say man

Is it really hard to find one redeeming quality and like any of these characters?

the best ones being the ones who have nothing to do with anything I mean

Magnolia was an interesting character

At least she wasn't like possessed literally and I don't know Donald Choi

Like I said before him and not noni Nani, whatever they were like my favorite

characters in the whole show

But you know, that's what it is. All right guys. Thank you so much for watching this video

I hope you like beyond emotion and subscribe for more videos every Wednesday at noon EST

And check out these new subscribers if they happen to comment and you see them say what's up until next time question everything
