ZWARTE IBIS official trailer
A young Black woman embarks on a journey through time and space where imagination and reality merge. She is guided by a mysterious entity.
Zwarte Ibis (tr. Black Ibis) portrays a young Black woman’s quest for intimacy in a world where the boundaries between the individual and the collective, the political and the personal, the past and the present, become ever blurrier. This poetic reverie is an afro-surrealistic imagination of contemporary notions of relationships with oneself and with an imagined community, questioning historically and culturally imposed views on Black people’s intimate lives in the diaspora.
A film by BLACK SPEAKS BACK in association with IF I CAN’T DANCE, I DON’T WANT TO BE PART OF YOUR REVOLUTION Starring HENRIETTE “AELIA SAPPH” VALIES, JUNADRY LEOCARIA, RODAE VALENTIJN and SHANTI MONKOU Music by CHRIS “CI” RICKETS Text by MATHIEU CHARLES Narration by BURNICE HIWAT Talking Drum by AMINU GONGON Sacred Sounds by HOUSE OF VIBRATION Edited by CHRIS TJONG AYONG Visual effects by ROBERT-JONATHAN KOEYERS Director of photography HENCK PENGEL Co-produced by LA FAM PRODUCTIONS Written by NOHELY KOEYERS, EMMA-LEE AMPONSAH, CHRIS “CI” RICKETS and ALEXINE GABRIELA Directed by EMMA-LEE AMPONSAH

On Overcoming Sociopolitical Trauma w/ Jaamil Olawale Kosoko
The vast majority of comments on here have given me hope. “There’s institutional racism throughout Britain, it’s a racist country and the BAME community suffer discrimination daily. No debate, no discussion, go away.” Wow.
Stop met liegen! De grootste racisten in België zijn de immigranten!!
My daughter is half Belgian im Mexican American me and her father split and i came back to America while pregnant but she is completely white. Me and my parents are all brown skinned so she practically glows with her bright blond hair and grey eyes. She faces discrimination in school because we live in a very Hispanic and black community. She has come home crying because children on the bus have colored her hair with black marker calling her a white b*tch. My baby is only 6 years old and it pains my heart to have her attacked for something she has no control over.
I flew into Belgium on my way to Ghana from the US. Lol. They pulled me aside and rifled through my luggage. Other than that some people were nice to me. Its an individual thing. Racism is ignorance. Jealousy is also involved.
zwarte piet is er nog steeds gelukkig
Replace every instance of "white" and "white people" in the "structural racism" narrative with their Jewish equivalents and you basically have Mein Kampf. It's amazing how "anti-racists" have zero self awareness about their own rabid racism.
There is no such thing as a "black European". These people are just descendants of slaves from the old British, Netherlands and French empires. And now all the society goes with this proud of being black bs. You should be proud of any color you have. Here in East Europe we don t have this bs.
Another race hustler making back from complaining lol
Maybe the problem is that she's not living in Africa, if she was the chances of her being able to read and write would be much lower and we wouldn't have to put up with her overt racism.
Structural racism? Gimme a break.
It's great that neither of us are talking to each other, totally feels like that'll accomplish something.
Structural racism is mostly against whites. We just don't whine about it.
Doesn't she go on?
Mooie trailer btn benieuwd, goed bezig schat ❤
In Britain, we're not "White"... you're Black though. Its the land of my ancestors, not yours. Why should I be expected to respect the views of a person who can't even describe my identity properly 🤷♂️ America called, they want their tired talking points back..
34:30 finally something interesting.
Why do you want to segregate yourselves so much? What's the problem with non-african products? You don't want to fit in and than you are surprised you don't fit in? 😂 So many 'identities', but never thought of trying to fit into Belgian identity...
"I was never considered black in Congo, I only realised when I came to Belgium". Ok, and? The world isn't just your little village in Congo. Belgium isn't Congo. You and others would have understood not everyone looks the same if you learned more about other cultures in the world.
I find it funny how the black american says she has a connection to the Congolese, because another black american in 19th century exposed what happened in Congo. How do you think black america has any 'connection' because of that? 😂
Jullie moederen
K haad de wereld. Wrm nemen ze mijn cultuur weg dit is pas rastisch onze cultuur bestaat al van de middeleeuwen. Wrm zou je zo ver denken. Wrm zou je een nieuwe cultuur bouwen wat zijn jullie aan het doen. Wrm denken jullie zo ver na wat drijft jullie verwoesting. Dit is onzin. Ok wa willen jullie moe k na afrika gaan en jullie cultuur kapot maken hoe gaan jullie zijn!!! K zeg toch ook nie da mohammed en pedo is he. Wrm ons cultuur renoveren. K wil zelfmoord deze wereld zuigt😢
Ik ben blank maar bruiner dan die middelste meid 🤔
De politiek in Belgie zegt: het is een kinderfeest en laat het ook een kinderfeest blijven maar ondertussen moet alles veranderd worden aan dit kinderfeest. Waar is ONZE traditie en cultuur dan nog??? Jullie komen hier wonen en willen alles anders hebben. Zijn jullie Belgen of wat anders??? Misschien moeten we Belgie ook veranderen van naam. Want daar hangt ook een geschiedenis aan die jullie niet bevallen. Ik bedoel maar, waar gaat dit stoppen. De geschiedenis is gepasseerd... Met Zwarte piet en Sinterklaas aan te pakken zal de geschiedenis niet veranderen. Ik voel me geen Belg meer in mijn eigen land!!! Ik begrijp dit niet. Ik voel me echt in een hoek geduwd op heel veel vlakken: Sinterklaas, Zwarte Piet, het klimaat, al die genders stuff, al dat protesteren op straat, in steden, museums belagen(vandalisme), sportwedstrijden boycotten, Nu ook in Nederland word de democratie ook weer niet aanvaard, het volk heeft mogen stemmen en dan komen al de linkse mensen op straat om de boel weer op te jutten.....Jullie kunnen niet verwachten dat andere mensen met andere waarden en gewoonten altijd moeten plooien voor jullie eisen. Het in de strot rammen van alles wat jullie niet aanstaat. Dat gaat gewoon niet.
Dankjewel voor jullie uitzending, ik vond ze zeer krachtig. Ik ben 30, blank en ik moet eerlijk zeggen dat ik voor de grote heisa in NL rond dit thema vorig jaar, nog nooit naar zwarte piet gekeken had als racistisch. Ik denk dat dit het bewijs is dat we als gewone mensen vergeten zijn waar dit vandaan kwam. Educatie lijkt me inderdaad iets waar je niet om zult heen kunnen als je dit wil veranderen. Het spijt me om te horen dat jullie hier al 10 jaar of langer mee bezig zijn en dit me maar vorig jaar ter ore komt... Tradities in vraag stellen is nodig! Ze veranderen is verdomd moeilijk, maar wel nodig in dit geval. Het hielp in ieder geval om op straat er mee te komen en in de pers. Dat geloof ik echt. Ik ben kleuterjuf en merk dat de kleuteronderwijsopleiding in België die ik volg jullie alleszins heeft gehoord! Zij zijn mee met jullie verhaal. Keep telling the world!
Borderliner gelul!!!
Wat een onzin
Black Europeans do not exist! that would be the same as a white Africans .
We get it, white people are to blame for everything..
Excellent advice!
35:30 Het kan natuurlijk wel aan mij liggen, maar is de vergelijking tussen de Jodenvervolging uit de jaren '30 en de West-Europese regeringen die uitwassen van religieus obscurantisme binnen de perken willen houden niet een ietsiepietsie overtrokken?
I am Angolan. After my ten years in Ukraine, I expected a better Belgium, but the country is full of people, the services are awful & costly, and I feel pure racism hidden under "Bonjour and smiles". I have been to many countries and I wonder why would someone want to live in Belgium. Well, there is no perfect country anyway. ...If this generation can't learn from history, then the next generation will do (it takes time to accept other things/guilt... ). I am mostly surrounded by Europeans btw. I would avoid generalization.
Reclaim Black joy. It is eternal. This is talking about the push and pull and anxiety to its articulation ....valuable conversation here

“How to get rid of racism? Stop talking about “race”!” Morgan Freeman
"In order to dismantle unjust, racist structures, we must see race. We must see who benefits from their race, who is disproportionately impacted by negative stereotypes about their race, and to who power and privilege is bestowed upon - earned or not - because of their race, their class, and their gender. Seeing race is essential to changing the system." Reni Eddo-Lodge "Stop talking about race" would have been great advice centuries (or even millennia) ago before the racism became institutionalised. A forest fire does not go out by ignoring it, you have to work to fight it and to prevent more.
@@path.6455 I can translate Renni Eddo Lodge’s words into this: White people are to blame for EVERYTHING regarding racism/oppression/inequality Black people are the innocent victims ALWAYS and deserve permanent reparation handouts from the “oppressive white man”. If you’re a white doormat liberal then by all means bow to her rhetoric. I’m damn well not and won’t listen to one word that race baiting woman who’s got an enormous chip on her shoulder against white people as to say. Your daft analogy over a forest fire is not comparing like with like at all.
de term Subsaharan vind ik zeer misleidend het is decolonized Africa vs Arab colonized Africa...dit brengt het gesprek naar de kern....dePan Afrikaanse opstand was niet alleen gericht op het westen maar ook kolonisten uit het middenoosten zie de Zanzibar revolutie.
I agree.
Well if you put aside the blacks in europe problematic. I am german and we germans have simular problem even from arab, turkish ,black ,... background... We are ashmed what we have done ww2 and try to earase it from ourself. the grand grand mothers/vaters know what have happen there ,like the japanese ,but they put it in a trashbin and dont want remembered...like you said we never want reopen the wound again. The victims dont get justice and its maybe wrong,but in the same time we avoid the chaos in the micro race from Unites States. Like starting fresh on the white papier ,but the papier is bloody and not white ,but we pretent the papier is white.
🤡
build your own community in your own land. then you have ownership.
No such thing as a Black Europeans
