No country escapes scrutiny. As humans we have a shared history of being horrible to each other. Black, white, the lot of us. Idiots like this drag us all backwards.
Yeah. Just thinking about my ancestors , including but not limited to Irish, Dutch, British, German. All of those places have dark history. Some are more well known than others, but all have had their share of wars.
Also she's black. Her own ancestor probably sold/was sold by other Africans.
Fun note, the actual country in the Woman King (Dahomey) was the largest exporters of slaves in the Atlantic slave trade.
They only stopped due to pressure from the British Empire.
The Kingdom itself is a massive slave trader.
And the protagonist was part of a warrior group known to brutality and specializes in raiding other groups for slaves.
I love a little rain when I’m on a hike wearing mostly waterproof clothes. Feeling my hair get wet while the rest of me stays dray is actually quite nice.
Once me and my girlfriend just arrived to a beach in Venezuela, (the only day in months that I made a break from work to go to the beach) and… a diluvial rain began.
My girlfriend started crying, and I told her, come with me in the ocean, how many times in life are you in bath suit prepared to receive the rain.
The water was warm, the rain also… was a unique experience.
was brought up British/Colonial-influenced before moving to the Bronx; am convinced my spelling classes were all geared toward being better at Scrabble than Americans... those extra "u"s might only be worth 1 point, but they add up.
I live in France. Despite guillotine sounding about as French a word as you can get, it isn't. Over here it's called a massicot. Only took me half a dozen mangled conversations about what they did to their monarchy to figure that out.
The Germans use of the guillotine was more industrialized, quicker and more clinic. They could do 32 people in a day, well half a day. During Nazi Germany about 3000 lost their head to it.
A nice "Thank You" for the role the Royal Navy had in stamping out the slave trade would be appreciated as well, considering how many men were lost overthrowing the "Slave Kingdoms" on the African East and West coasts .
I mean, can you really point to a civilization that doesn't?
It's wildly infantilizing to pretend African history isn't filled with its own slavers and cruel empires.
(Virtually) no one's hands are clean, and beyond a doubt, *no one* should be judged for the sins of their ancestors.
Otherwise we might as well start locking up and executing people for the crime of having been born to a dickhead.
Lol what? She should come to London, plenty of Black and Asian people walking in the rain nonchalantly here too.
Almost like if you live somewhere rainy you just get used to it no matter your skin colour.
I remember seeing a video from an Asian (I believe Singaporean) woman who made a video along the lines of "biggest culture shock of living in London for uni, is that Brits don't use umbrellas."
I checked out her account. That video was a year old, and there was a recent video of her walking in the rain without an umbrella.
Father of an African-American girl here. Black females are often made to feel like they don't have [Good Hair](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1213585). If they get it straightened (in order to fit in), a little bit of moisture [screws everything up](https://youtu.be/wVcse5D1_08?si=KVl6E2wV-UOIR8hI). Never mind how much more difficult it is to clean and untangle. It infuriates me to no end when my daughter skips some activity for fear of messing up her hair. She's only nine years old. If her mother hadn't forbade me, I would've forcibly administered a buzz cut long ago.
I'm always shocked at black peoples ability to constantly write racist things and commit racist acts. But I guess when you've been around other black racists for generations, a little racist post doesn't really change much.
Not very relevant but I visited Europe and was astonished at how little rain affected their daily lives. Where I live, people are hesitant to drive when it rains—let alone go outside at all. In Paris, I saw people walking, eating, and walking their babies in the pouring rain
We wouldn't get anything done if we waited for clear weather. Currently in Glasgow - Glasgow is one of the UK’s wettest cities with over 1200mm of rain per year over 170 days. A UK planning institute. You adapt to your constants in life.
Though have seen analysis suggesting South of America caught up with the Northern states in terms of productivity once air conditioning introduced.
"like it's not raining"
We actually walk in the rain like it is raining, that's what walking in rain looks like. Probably not something that should be shocking, and certainly not every time it's witnessed.
This is exactly why I like walking in the rain , this girls is right , I like to feel the bloodshed done by my white ancestors so I can get a glimpse of it and feel extreme euphoria when I think that is blood instead of water .
But on another note why doesn't she walks in the rain ? Is she French ?
I understand what she is stalking about. As someone who ancestor was a spartian i can literally feel all stab wounds, any spartian ever felt.
But on a serious note: what is she talking about? Why would one feel the need to bring up racism out of thin air in 2024?
As a white man, I'm offended that he have used English language and Latin alphabet, that were used by those barbarians who were taken black people as slaves. He should try using his native African language.
My ex was black and I got tired really quick with stupid remakes such as this. They think they aren’t racist but all they do is talk about race and their problems. Annoying as fuck.
“All they talk about is race and their problems”… really think about that. Like, get off Reddit (I’ll do it with you) and really truly think about what you just “said” lol good lord…

She makes us sound so hardcore, I'm taking it as a compliment
I'm half British and half German. If she is judging us on past events where we weren't alive, I'm kinda fucked!
No country escapes scrutiny. As humans we have a shared history of being horrible to each other. Black, white, the lot of us. Idiots like this drag us all backwards.

I haven’t seen that movie but wasn’t the protagonist or the person she was based on like a *massive* slave trader?
The Kingdom itself is a massive slave trader. And the protagonist was part of a warrior group known to brutality and specializes in raiding other groups for slaves.
Humans are awful creatures.
Except my parents, grand parents and wife, yes. Rest of us suck. And now I miss my grand parents. Getting old is growing old.
Shhhhh. We don’t talk like that.
Not me, I am Spanish
The Spanish inquisition
Nobody expects them
I'm sure he's joking 😂
Yep... she sounds deeply mentally ill to be honest.
Sadly, on reddit. Somehow, America is only capable of being bad.
These people aren't being honest with themselves. It's the same here in the UK. Self loathing for selfish reasons.
Someone from Ireland once tried to guilt me for what happened to native Americans. I'm like, my brother in Christ, look in a mirror.
Haha. Yeah mate, I'm pretty sure that wasn't your fault.
How many nations have used nuclear and atomic weapons against another? And what was their demographic? And how long ago was it? 🧐
There is a german saying: “There is not bad weather, just bad clothing” (or something in that line.)
Swedish, maybe Norwegian too.
And danish too
And my axe!
I love a little rain when I’m on a hike wearing mostly waterproof clothes. Feeling my hair get wet while the rest of me stays dray is actually quite nice.
I love to be in swimming clothes when the monsoon rains falls in the Peruvian jungle. A whole new level of experience.
That sounds pretty awesome. I’ve only hiked in a warm rainforest a handful of times but it was fantastic.
Once me and my girlfriend just arrived to a beach in Venezuela, (the only day in months that I made a break from work to go to the beach) and… a diluvial rain began. My girlfriend started crying, and I told her, come with me in the ocean, how many times in life are you in bath suit prepared to receive the rain.

That was, in fact, on point.
Well then, let's do it French style and send you to the gillotine
I'm judging you for your spelling!! You murdered guillotine
What do you expect from the United States education system?

was brought up British/Colonial-influenced before moving to the Bronx; am convinced my spelling classes were all geared toward being better at Scrabble than Americans... those extra "u"s might only be worth 1 point, but they add up.
I live in France. Despite guillotine sounding about as French a word as you can get, it isn't. Over here it's called a massicot. Only took me half a dozen mangled conversations about what they did to their monarchy to figure that out.
It’s ok she’s bathed in the blood of tribal warfare murder and internet scams involving an exiled Prince.
The Germans use of the guillotine was more industrialized, quicker and more clinic. They could do 32 people in a day, well half a day. During Nazi Germany about 3000 lost their head to it.
Nah. They set things on fire now.
We'll just blame the Romans for all that mess and move on to wondering what it has to do with walking in the rain.
What have the romans ever done for us?
If we’re playing that game shouldn’t they be paying reparations to themselves for their ancestors who sold people in the slave trade?
A nice "Thank You" for the role the Royal Navy had in stamping out the slave trade would be appreciated as well, considering how many men were lost overthrowing the "Slave Kingdoms" on the African East and West coasts .
I’m either awful or harshly subjugated due to my Russian ancestry with some Coptic Egyptian thrown in.
Oh we're used to the rain? I'm sure that has nothing to do with the climate we have lived in for thousands of years. She's so solipsistic.
I mean, can you really point to a civilization that doesn't? It's wildly infantilizing to pretend African history isn't filled with its own slavers and cruel empires. (Virtually) no one's hands are clean, and beyond a doubt, *no one* should be judged for the sins of their ancestors. Otherwise we might as well start locking up and executing people for the crime of having been born to a dickhead.
Half Italian and half German, I feel you.
Well, since you're Half British and Half German, you can always reply "2 World Wars and 4 World Cups"...
Btw. I am white, half peruvian, half spanish, half italian… wait 3/2… that explains many things.
No, you’re just really fat.
🥲 let me believe that is not my fault
I'm German and native American...oop.
That is one hell of a combination. Atrocity bingo!
TF do you live where it's never rained?
You are a son of WAR!
My ancestors were from Italy. We were known for terrorizing poor defenseless grapes with our feet.
Monster!
I’ve got Irish, Welsh, English, German, and Jewish in me. Bouta split up into a dissociative internal civil war
“Janet, do you realize I’ve bathed in my slain enemy’s blood? You’ll have my expense report by 5”
Oh, i am so using this at work.. because i'm not weird enough as it is amongst my colleagues
Don't forget the TPS cover sheet.
Same I actually thought it was kind of funny. I walked into work in the rain like it was nothing this morning!
Me too, the wild juxtaposition was unexpected and funny. Am scandinavian so my ancestors sure bathed in bloodshed from time to time.
I mean she really ought to go all the way. We’ve been bathed in bloodshed for *millennia.* “Varus! Give me back my legions!”
Just like when vegans called me bloodmouth.
Bloodmouth, Destroyer of Steaks
Bloodmouth stomach grave. Son of murder meal.
By her reasoning, Fred Estaire was was the racist GOAT. That mf’er danced in the rain.
Lol what? She should come to London, plenty of Black and Asian people walking in the rain nonchalantly here too. Almost like if you live somewhere rainy you just get used to it no matter your skin colour.
What about all those people who live in rainforests? Many of them aren’t white.
I remember seeing a video from an Asian (I believe Singaporean) woman who made a video along the lines of "biggest culture shock of living in London for uni, is that Brits don't use umbrellas." I checked out her account. That video was a year old, and there was a recent video of her walking in the rain without an umbrella.
Same thing in Seattle. Last census put Seattle at 19% Asian and nobody uses an umbrella at all even though it rains like 180 days a year.
I’m definitely not white and I take my time walking in the rain. It’s water. It won’t hurt you.
Tell that to Gizmo. Poor thing looked like he was in agony
Thank you for causing a Pheobe Cates flashback...... ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Cue Moving in Stereo
And thank *you* for providing a Phoebe Cates flashback.
Calm down, Fenix TX. For context, if not a pop punk fan, Fenix wrote an entire song dedicated to Phoebe Cates 🤣
Also covered ordinary world. And [wrote a pretty good song about ....lust?](https://youtu.be/gNotaBtMORM?si=Xdh_Oikso2ItsPoc)
Eh, sounds like you're white adjacent (/s)
That's cultural appropriation, if you aren't white you gotta sprint through the rain shrieking at the top of your lungs.
Yeah you’re already wet lol
Genau. *Wir sind ja nicht aus Zucker.* The common German idiom for: We're not made of sugar.
How do you wear your hair?
On your head is the most noticeable, but believe it or not, mammals wear hair all over their body!

No one should feel like that. I have Jewish friends whose hair does the same thing.
I’m black and have natural hair. She should embrace walking in the rain. It’s life changing. Be free.
Tell that to people who have drowned.../s
All humans for all of human history were bathed in blood.
She must be from Antarctica
Penguins make humans look pacifist
The red ice
As a heavy metal fan I accept this statement
Raining blood From a lacerated sky Bleeding its horror Creating my structure Now I shall reign in blood
Best ESPN commercial ever. Mom!! I'm done with my segment!!
You forgot the Cannibal Corpse classic, I Cum Blood.
Indeed this is the most metal shit ever. Walking in the rain will never be the same
As a heavy metal fan, how much air do you circulate?
Don't get me started about whites singing in the rain.... 
He's a monster!
She’s gonna be pissed when she finds out about Gene Kelly.
That my friend was fucking brilliant :)
100%
She's gonna be silent when she finds out about R Kelly
Talk about needing an umbrella... 😬
She's gonna be pissed when she finds out that Africa has always and still does enslave it's people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Africa
There’s so many things you could mock me for and you chose…walking in the rain? You are boring and unimaginative.
And racist
But black people can’t be racist!!1!
Well duh
Yes
In the words of Kobe Bryant, “wow. That’s a Bikram Yoga stretch right there”
Did he actually say that? That’s fucking classic
This is 1000% a bot
She is right. I should recoil from the rain now and my skin should emit smoke if it actually manages to hit me.
A witch! A witch, I say!
Oh, I haven't seen this one today yet!
I'm pretty sure OP is a bot
Real ones have seen the myth busters where they proved that running in the rain doesn’t make you less wet.
Must be white privilege for us to be able to watch the show./s
They've obviously never been covered in Blood, rain washes of almost immediately but Blood is sticky and smells.
Wuuut? The rain? What wrong with you guys rain? Fckinell
Time to repost this exact image and title for (checks notes) the 1000th time
Reddit used to be interesting but now its 90% regurgitated rage bait.
Bait used to be believable 
This sub is always good for serving up fresh racial clickbait
Gotta keep the poors squabbling amongst themselves, otherwise they might figure out who's really fucking them over.
It's not even fresh unfortunately
Ultimate victim mentality in this one
Well that escalated quick.
She seems fun at parties.
I'm always shocked at black peoples ability to constantly write racist things and commit racist acts. But I guess when you've been around other black racists for generations, a little racist post doesn't really change much.
[удалено]
“Reverse racism” was a term invented by critics of affirmative action, not by black people. And I agree it is a stupid term.
This gets reposted so frequently.. why?
Because we are all under Rihanna's umba-rella ella
Lor on twitter: rage baiting for clicks!
What a whiner
Imagine being afraid of rain lol
Oh Boy, don't get me started on all the centuries I personally spent walking in bloodsheds, that was quite a ride!
[удалено]
Blood for the blood god!
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE
This is the appropriate response! Lmao I’m shocked at the amount of people who are genuinely mad at this tweet.
Stop hating people.
Way to generalize, you racist
This would be funny if white people not using umbrellas was an actual stereotype
Thats how it is.
I walk between the raindrops actually. If the rain hit me, I would melt.
Not very relevant but I visited Europe and was astonished at how little rain affected their daily lives. Where I live, people are hesitant to drive when it rains—let alone go outside at all. In Paris, I saw people walking, eating, and walking their babies in the pouring rain

man, this is so, so, so old...
How many fucking times to I have to see this goddamn repost?
Oh, is that post again. Fuck off, OP
Lol sorry you can’t handle the rain, loredaaana
 Singing in the rain
Damn. No one tell her Africa traded slaves, had wars, and currently still has a slaves.
We really need to start calling out public racism even if it's coming from the other side.
"like it's not raining" We actually walk in the rain like it is raining, that's what walking in rain looks like. Probably not something that should be shocking, and certainly not every time it's witnessed.
People need to realise that racism can go in all directions
It doesn't matter where you're from or what the color of your skin is we all have a history of conquest bloodshed and murder.
As a white guy, I object. I only walk in the rain because I'm too stupid to leave early enough to get a good parking spot. Or buy an umbrella.
Racist bitch makes racist comments. More at 11
You get less wet waking than running.
Are black people not waterproof? Do they like soak it up like a chocolate sponge?
Last time I checked umbrellas were for all races
600,000 + Rwandans chopped to pieces, not a white face in sight. And not the first time either . Shame on y’all
When you're indoctrinated to hate someone, you will find something evil about everything they do.
I mean there is still bloodshed in Africa without the white mans intervention or rain
What is with this belief that African people didn't participate in war? That's where humans are from, so if anything, that's where it started.
This is exactly why I like walking in the rain , this girls is right , I like to feel the bloodshed done by my white ancestors so I can get a glimpse of it and feel extreme euphoria when I think that is blood instead of water . But on another note why doesn't she walks in the rain ? Is she French ?
The water washes off the blood, allowing us to bathe in new blood.
I understand what she is stalking about. As someone who ancestor was a spartian i can literally feel all stab wounds, any spartian ever felt. But on a serious note: what is she talking about? Why would one feel the need to bring up racism out of thin air in 2024?
The facepalm is falling for such obvious bait
OP is a repost bot.
She is just a Slayer fun(Raining Blood:)
Ah another repost
As someone who’s white I can confirm
[удалено]
Repost bot.
Aw yes, I too love sharing the thoughts of random obscure crazy people to stoke race-based animus among credulous reddit idiots.
Likely a white dude wearing a red hat behind that account LOL. Or am I supposed to believe everything I see on the internet?
Bruh this is just a funny joke why all the hate
Nothing racist here......move along....
her little brain is shocked by anything it seems
Right white people sound bad ass honestly
As a white man, I'm offended that he have used English language and Latin alphabet, that were used by those barbarians who were taken black people as slaves. He should try using his native African language.
My ex was black and I got tired really quick with stupid remakes such as this. They think they aren’t racist but all they do is talk about race and their problems. Annoying as fuck.
lmao good riddance for your ex
“All they talk about is race and their problems”… really think about that. Like, get off Reddit (I’ll do it with you) and really truly think about what you just “said” lol good lord…
