this notion that Arabs are universally oppressed and is on the same side of the fight against western imperialism really pisses me off. the war in Gaza has really made people forget that Arabs are are historically (and currently) racist and imperialistic people.
Ibrahim Traore’s recent remarks about Arabs exposed a split within nationalists and socialists which has existed within the Pan-African for decades. The nationalists tend to view our primary struggle as a struggle against racial oppression and are critical of centuries of anti-Black racism from Arabs. Socialists view the struggle as one which is primarily against the imperialism of Western capitalist nations, and as such views Arabs are a group who are also struggle against the same imperialist powers.
The reality is that both of these positions are valid. They simply place a different emphasis on different aspects of the same problem. There is no contradiction in recognizing the problem of Arab racism against African people and the consequences of forced Arabization in Africa, while also acknowledging the role of Western imperialism in invading, colonizing, and destabilizing Arab countries. What we need is an analysis that is rooted in a synthesis of different ideological approaches to Pan-Africanism.
We are the only continent, the only race trying to be more Arab than Arabs, more European than Europeans, more American than Americans, and more religious than the places Christianity and Islam actually came from.
We literally want to be everything except ourselves
these blacks are so colour-blinded by their religion that they will actively disseminate their societies by worshipping foreigners / external identities, sudan is living proof of this.
they’re are a wolf in sheeps clothing & should by no means exist around race conscious ppl.
The only way black people will gain respect is if Africa gets powerful, that's the only way, no amount of 'dilineation' will change that. If the continent your ancestors descend from does not have global, economic, social, or political power, that reflects on you.
@afroskuwlz Black people shouldn’t become a monolith or one mega-ethnicity that all think or look alike. we just need to strengthen economic/political ties and show solidarity with one another. if you look at the bigger picture we face the same issue of global anti-blackness and yt supremacy
@Jxparisxo which is weird because Afro-Colombians been in Colombia for centuries unlike the 1st to 2nd gen African immigrants in Europe who support European teams
