@historical_Afr While I respect the real african history, I disagree with the neo zionism that wants to expel western africans, American blacks in particular, to live in the middle east just like they did with the jews in the recent past!!!
I no longer identify with the Arab identity after learning how the Arab conquests imposed their language and culture on my ancestors.
I wasnโt aware of this history before, nor of the suffering my ancestors experienced.
Now that I know more about it, identifying as Arab no longer feels right to me.
Whatever your reasons, I respect it.
But, donโt lump us together and say all Egyptians are Arabs because of a language we were forced to speak.
