WTFFFFUUUU - HOX Projects

I WONDER HOW IT IS POSSIBLE THAT TODAY, in 2018 black men here in Holland have to prove they are right, against a couple of backward racists who violated the law, blocked a highway, hindered people’s right to free speech, while endangering people’s lives.

How the fuu… is this not a straight up open and shut case and thrown out of the courtroom?
How the fuuuuu …. must you prove you’re the one who is right when you’re the one attacked by a racist who wants to keep a racist tradition alive?

HAVE WE STILL NOT LEARNED?
ARE WE STILL LIVING IN TIMES WHEN ONE PEOPLE COULD CLAIM SUPERIORITY OVER ANOTHER?

It appears so …
Like I told a student who interviewed me yesterday about “multicultural communities of the future”: that will only work if the majority starts listening to the minority.
Fuck democracy!
History is littered with examples of oppressed people proving that they were right when they demanded better from their oppressors.
History is littered with examples of people who fought against oppression and ended up murdered in the process … to be called heroes only then. Need I call their names?
History has proven oppressors wrong over and over and over again and again and again.

But still, we insist on making the same mistakes, over and over and over again, while we’re bright eyed and wide awake, like we’re expecting a different result each time.
It appears we’re hell bent on rushing this thing to the crapper rather sooner than later.
I don’t understand it. I just don’t.

As i just watched a video of the most powerful childman in the world nodding approvingly while the world’s biggest narcissist spouts his nonsense in the US White House.
My brain hurts. And my head spins.
What is this yo!!!

The biggest narcissist who has the power and the platform to bring about change, sides with another narcissist on the wrong side of history.
Like we have not had the opportunity to learn.

IN DE PERS

Welternaehrung

I was approached to write an article for the online journal Welternaehrung in Germany, that dealt with migration and I slipped in some of my views on how Governments should take responsibility.
And I took advantage of the opportunity to express how proud I still am with Amsterdam Zuidoost where adults banned together so the -mostly migrant- young people from the neighborhood, did not participate in violent and ignorant conspiracy driven anti-COVID-measure riots that shook the Netherlands a few weeks ago.
The Germans then translated my views to German.

Ich bin stolz darauf, dass ich dazu aufgefordert wurde

Voice of African Migrants

Two weeks ago I spoke briefly at a GFMD webinar on migration and racism. I spoke about my work with AFRO Magazine and Weekend College. Next thing you know, a journalist in Nigeria tells me he wants to interview me for the Voice of African Migrants. Honored to be featured by them.

“How did the developed world become the developed world?”

Op 1 juli vieren we dat de kolonisator zich bewust werd van de menselijkheid van zwarte mensen, stelt Marvin Hokstam. “Ik heb niks met Keti Koti.”

OneWORLD

Het maakt niet uit of Ron Jans een ‘goeie vent’ is, zijn gedrag moet worden veroordeeld, schrijft Marvin Hokstam. ‘Het is best mogelijk om stil te worden tijdens je bezoek aan Robbeneiland én een blinde vlek te hebben voor racistisch taalgebruik.’

NUJ

Marvin comments in the upcoming issue of the union’s magazine:

“This is about journalists being aware that the way they approach a subject is how it is perceived by their communities. The fact that there is still debate about this in 2019 is concerning, especially when journalists and newspapers appear to take sides in favour of those supporting black Piet.

NLTimes

The motion passed by the British journalists’ union originated from the NUJ Black Members Council, on the initiative of Marivn Hokstam, Founder and Managing Editor of the Dutch publication Afro Magazine. Hokstam is a member of the Dutch branch of the NUJ.

Zwarte Piet is Racisme.nl

Journalisten die verslag doen van het zwarte Pietendebat dienen zich te houden aan de journalistieke regel dat “van journalisten geen materiaal dient te komen dat discriminatie op basis van ras en kleur bevordert”. Dit staat in een motie die vandaag werd aangenomen door de National Executive Council (NEC) van de Britse Unie van Journalisten NUJ in London. De motie was aangezwengeld door Marvin Hokstam, uitgever van AFRO Magazine, in reactie op wat hij onethische verslaggeving over de zwarte piet demonstranten door Nederlandse journalisten noemde.

721-News election to NUJ/BMC

Former The Daily Herald journalist Marvin Hokstam has been elected to the Black Members Council of the British National Union of Journalists. After he shared news of this on his Facebook page last week, we asked him about it.

Interview door Socialisme.nu

Marvin Hokstam is redacteur van het Afro Magazine. Al vijfentwintig jaar is hij een journalist die schrijft over onderwerpen die de internationale Afrogemeenschap aangaan. Hij sprak met Mark Kilian over de nasleep van de Caribische orkanen, koloniaal racisme en climate justice.

Opiniestuk in Parool

Een museum over zwarte geschiedenis moet geschiedenis, emoties en nuances vertellen vanuit een zwart perspectief, schrijft Marvin Hokstam.
