Black Muslims are usually treated as the court jesters of Arab society. Thousands of videos exist of Arabs grabbing a random Black Muslim from the street to amuse themselves, laughing while staring at him with open pity. “We taught them to see their own cultural names as kaffir. Now the Black man names himself, his sons, and his daughters after our culture, which they aspire to imitate so they can be considered real Muslims. They remain our favorite foot-soldiers.” I’ve long wondered: of all the Muslim communities, why do only Black Muslims cling so tightly to this Arab idea of the ummah? These foolish Black Muslims visit Arab countries searching for the Islamic ummah, only to discover they are the punchline of Arab jokes.
