′Islamic rape of Europe′: Polish magazine sparks outrage | News | DW.COM | 18.02.2016

Under a headline reading “Islamic rape of Europe,” the latest wSieci (translation: “The Network”) magazine cover portrays a distressed white, blonde-haired woman draped in the flag of the European Union as she’s assaulted by several disembodied dark-skinned men. Beyond its radical cover image, this week’s issue is devoted to articles outlining the rape and sexual assault of European women said to have been carried out by migrant men. It contains articles such as “The hell of Europe,” which addresses the attacks that occurred in the German city of Cologne on New Year’s Eve, as well as another article entitled “Does Europe want to commit suicide?” The magazine’s website also promotes the glossy as containing “a report about what the media and Brussels elite are hiding from citizens of the European Union.”

Aboriginal minister Bess Price denied request to speak Indigenous language in NT Parliament – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

The failed request from Local Government Minister Bess Nungarrayi Price came after the central Australian MP was warned over disorderly conduct after she interjected in a parliamentary debate in Warlpiri, prompting NT Speaker Kezia Purick to declare that “the language of the assembly is English”. “Should a member use a language other than English without the leave of the assembly it will be ruled disorderly and the member will be required to withdraw the words,” Ms Purick said in Parliament last December after receiving complaints from Labor MPs about Minister Price’s Warlpiri interjection. Late last week — in part prompted by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull speaking an Aboriginal language in Parliament during his Closing the Gap address — Minister Price wrote to the Speaker challenging the Parliament’s interpretation of its standing orders. “I seek clarification as to where in the standing orders it states the official language of the chamber can be English only,” Minister Price said in a letter obtained by the ABC. “I am very concerned that our Parliament may be seen as not providing mutual respect and parity to our Aboriginal members and our constituents. I feel that I cannot effectively represent my electorate without using my first language, Warlpiri.”

They Mad: Beyonce’s Middle Finger Salute to White America | Dame Magazine

What’s really behind the backlash to Queen Bey’s Super Bowl performance

They’re not just mad at Bey – they’re made at the Black women leading the Black Lives Matter movement.  They’re mad at #SayHerName.  They’re mad at the recent news that Black women activists refuse to endorse a political candidate for the presidency.  They’re mad because we be all up and down these fiber-optic streets clapping back and engaged in wig snatchery when racists come for us.

White anger is rooted in a long, deep history of needing to control the Black female body, mind and output. White America likes its Black women to be downtrodden, preferably subservient, suffering from any of the countless maladies and dysfunctions they create and maintain through racist and economic oppression, and coddling their fragile emotions.

This moment of White anger and down-by-the-riverside tears reveals deep-seated need to control our blackness. To dominate and define everything we say and do to serve their agendas. And Beyoncé brilliantly slayed all of that history and exploitation in “Formation.” She issued a clarion call to celebrate our Black selves in all of our diverse glory, and to connect to the fight for justice, be it via Malcolm X, the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, the Civil Rights Movement or Black Lives Matter.  The sight of leather, berets and Afros, not to mention Bey displaying her body on top of a police car and drowning it in the video, compels White panic.  Worse yet, she brought the unapologetic politics of Blackness into the Super Bowl, the yearly celebration of white masculinity.
