So powerful and sadly so true
Last night in Paris as Bastille Day broke the Arc de Triomphe was lit up with the national motto of France but with one word missing. Liberté, égailite….. Fraternité was missing. Fraternity means the environment of brotherhood amongst the citizens of a nation. In the months post October 7th and on the day of an assassination attempt on a US presidential candidate that fraternity seems like it needs to be re-discovered in many places. This ad was launched on French television last night at the same time. It is about anti-semtism which has been rising in France. The message holds true for anyone who feels they need to hide their identity. When that happens we all lose our fraternity. Television holds the power to give us the perspective of others. In my view the more we can consider other perspectives then the stronger we can become, increasing division needs more of us to think about how we can tolerate different groups with joy rather than fear. #fraternité from the team at Licra - Ligue Internationale Contre le Racisme et l'Antisémitisme Arthur Essebag Maurice Levy Marcel

Wholeheartedly agree. I highly recommend Amartya Sen’s humane and profound short essay ‘Identity and Violence’ which argues that the more narrowly we define our identity, for example by race, nationality or religion, the more we are prone to violence. The more nuanced and plural our identities the more open and tolerant we become. For example, in the case of religious fundamentalism, everyone who is not a ‘believer’ in just the very specific sub section of the religion is ‘one of them’, the enemy, and in the extreme regarded as not human and therefore fair game for violence. Whereas with a more plural definition of oneself that includes the entire species, or even other species, where others are regarded as ‘one of us’ we are compassionate, kind and understanding. The intolerance we have seen in society is surely driven at least in part by such a narrow sense of identity - an absence of fraternity.

Am Samstag, den 02.03.24 habe ich in Köln im Rahmen des Benefizkonzertes meiner Gesangsklasse "Junge Stimmen singen für Afrika" gesungen. Wir konnten über 2000€ sammeln, um den Uduma e.V. zu unterstützen! Es war eine großartige Erfahrung. Hier geht es zu einem meiner musikalischen Beiträge an diesem Abend: https://lnkd.in/ekPXkgBB

Shame on you France’s Olympic committee The Paris Olympic Committee has sparked significant controversy, particularly regarding the handling of cultural and religious sensitivities. Many critics argue that certain choices made by the organizers reflect a lack of understanding between the principles of laïcité—France’s commitment to secularism—and a disregard for the values of Christianity and broader cultural traditions. This misalignment has led to accusations of cultural disrespect, as some actions are viewed as dismissive of the deep-rooted heritage that influences millions worldwide. Instead of fostering an atmosphere of inclusivity and respect, these decisions have ignited a debate about the balance between freedom of expression and respect for diverse cultural identities.

Duty of memory: From slavery to colonization through racism, the goal of the White/Western invaders was not only to exclude the Black/African race from other races but also to enslave them to continue to dominate them; « For our case, it’s about continuing to(subjugate, enslave, oppress, tyrannize), keep us under their supremacy, for example, the French State has only one objective towards these bilateral and multilateral partners, that of maintaining the Black/African race under the magnitude of (suggesting them, indoctrinating them arbitrarily as they have always done) »…(VIDEO) For nearly five centuries, Europe deported millions of Black/African people to the New World by sea. This is how the dehumanization of Blacks/Africans began which enriches the White/Western world. Among other acts of vandalism, rape, humiliation, and thousands of deaths were thrown overboard. Thus, the slavery of Blacks/Africans continues again and again today.

Developer, instrumenting the interstellar future building on a High Fidelity Computational Architecture
The mission of our Queen Maxima has been on the WEF agenda, that, has more to do with helping a substantial number of people -mostly women- in the developing countries. with an account. It is about authentication, to help attain an official confirmation, account, this is one of the most compelling goals to have the instances readied for the means of identification ->with the purpose of investing the person. with micro-financing effort. This is more about identity, authenticity as unique value of a person, and this means -much careful consideration for which cultural bridges are ahead, personalizing, giving identity to people in the developing countries - The Microfinance Maxima initiative is one of the many goals set by the Dutch Monarch, that of Queen Maxima's initiative, is profound for which I -by the way-- worked on several very genuine 'NRT's' Near Realtime transactioning lossy hashing and methods it's not the first or last or least feat. that I invest in the outdated binary carrier with these fast secured methods (short track confidence gain). Questions about vaccination, makes sense in the developing countries. It is not about mRNA in particular; this would seriously help many people.

Duty of Memory: Here are the ten best-known Black/African tribes (the Zulus, the Maasai and the Yorubas in the top five); « Africa has about 3,000 tribes, all very different in their language and culture; (the continent itself may have evolved a lot over the last two millennia, but tribal influences continue to be a dominant force in most cases and, although the divisions between tribes have diminished over time) » Tribal affiliations remain a predominant source of pride among indigenous peoples. In this spirit, let's take a quick look at the ten most popular tribes in Africa:
Devoir de Mémoire : Voici les dix tribus Noires/Africaines les plus connues (les Zoulous, les Massaï et les Yorubas dans le top cinq); « L'Afrique compte environ 3 000 tribus, toutes très différentes par leur langue et leur culture; (le continent lui-même a peut-être beaucoup évolué au cours des deux derniers millénaires, mais les influences tribales continuent d'être une force dominante dans la p

Duty of Memory: Five Black/African cultural wonders for which no credit is given to Black/African peoples, (there are cultural wonders attributed to other peoples, but which are probably of Black/African origin); « Accepting that the human race probably began in Africa remains a difficult pill to swallow, regardless of the existing evidence; we all help shape and define the world; (because of the encounter with imperialism it is assumed that we had nothing to boast about, thank you Nzambé, some evidence speaks for itself, at least we lived and communicated with each other before their arrival) » We have had civilizations that have attracted the rest of the world to Africa. We imagine that this is how they learned what advantages they would have if they colonized us. As you would expect, when two cultures meet and drift apart, both cultures definitely take something away from each culture.
Devoir de Mémoire : Cinq merveilles culturelles Noires/Africaines pour lesquelles aucun crédit n'est accordé aux peuples Noirs/Africains, (il existe des merveilles culturelles attribuées à d'autres peuples, mais qui sont probablement d'origine Noire/Africaine); « Accepter que la race humaine a probablement commencé en Afrique reste une pilule difficile à avaler, quelles que soient les preuves exis

👑 I witnessed a historic transition in Denmark this weekend with Queen Margrethe II abdicating and Crown Prince Frederik ascending as King Frederik X, it's a moment that reminds us of the power of legacy and change. This event isn't just a page in the history books; it's a symbol of progression and evolution. 🌍 In 2024, as we embrace new leadership and new eras, let's also make it the year of action. We face global challenges that require decisive action - climate change, economic disparities, and the urgent need to protect against IT-crimes. 🔥 This year should be about translating our discussions into actions. Just as Denmark steps into a new chapter, we too can step up to make tangible changes. Whether it's in sustainability, inclusivity, or technological security, let's make 2024 the year we move from words to deeds. #Leadership #GlobalAction #Denmark #KingFrederikX #NewEra
