Do not come to Africa, demanding we rewrite history to hide your shame, your loss to white slaveownees you still cannot admit, your abuse and violence and encouraging racism hateful ness to avoid your own shame. Go to Asia. Keep the racism, self hate, and upholding of white supremacy there. Or get therapy. We will never accept these racist slurs, these racist rewriting history of pyramids WE built.

“Everyone is anti black” This is dumb and neurotic thinking. Are there racists in non-black groups? Sure, but there are just as many racists in black groups . Do you not see this ? The % of hardcore racists among each group is pretty small though. You need to realize that most whites do not obsess about skin color like certain other groups. I feel that some blacks view everything through the lens of race so they will see any animosity from someone outside their racial group as evidence of racism but it usually has nothing to do with race .

Dear Sir, I am not African, however, over studying cultures and civilization over 30 years, i realised one thing. Any person or culture or civilization or empires can go to Africa and impose their culture on Africans . They stay apart from the natives, and insist that the natives align with them. However, an African cannot go anywhere in the world and say the same thing. An african has to integrate into the culture of the land they immigrate too. At one time this suffocation will become volcanic.

As a black person I have been saying this to people for decades and everybody (either white European liberal people as well as "woke"blacks as of course Arabs) was unresponsive claiming "white "people are the worlds biggest problem for black people. My conclusion after almost 5 decades in this skin is that black people live on a planet full of enemies. I don't even live in an Arab country ( live and grew up in Western Europe) to know and experience how racist Arabs are. And sneaky because I read how during the BLM-protest Arabs/Muslims took the stage to shout "muslim live matters" equating the "racism" muslims go through post-9/11 to what black people have been going through for centuries in and outside the continent of Africa at the hand of numerous "others". They appropriate the narrative of Afro-diasporic people and literally ignore the narrative of Arab racism under the guise of solidariry with black people. You can see this by the number of likes to this clip. If it was about how Arabs/muslims suffer "racism" outside Arab countries it would absolutely have 25k likes but now as they are being revealed as the oppressor it got 715 likes in almost 2 years. It beats me how black scholars overlook racism/anti-blackness from other non-black groups such as Latinos and Arabs and never actually study it. If you read the book "White Innocence" by Gloria Wekker you shall see the parallells between what she submits to the reader and how Arab people (structurally allergically) respond to the notion of Arab racism. They- just like European whites- see themselves as innocent and can solemnly relate to the narrative of victimhood. I am not saying all are like this just like the man presenting this piece who is most probably an Arab himself. The discourse about a major problem for millions of people however to my opinion may never focus on the exceptions.

Muhammad's friends used to call Bilal "son of a black woman" [ witch he is], but apparently that is supposed to be an insult. kind of like calling someone "son of a bitch". That is the environment that these people come from. In their mind it was an insult to be black or to have a black mother. If i want to prove that i am not an alcoholic, i would not point at all the empty bottles of alcohol around me to make the case that i am sober. Muslims keep bringing up Bilal to show how [Not] racist they are, but all they are doing is proving the opposite.

Here comes someone who spread lies. The story of that one companion who got mad on Bilal and called him that he was disciplined by the prophet and he said to him (You are an ignorant man) for insulting Bilal. If you read more in our historical traditions as Arabs instead of lying you'll just find out that Bilal married from a noble Arab woman from Quraish tribe of Makkah and she's a sister of one close companion of the prophet.

There's a word I don't use to call Nubians and their descendants:"blacks". I haven't met ANY black person, further more their skin color goes from chocolate to very light tone, depending on the melanin percentage. For the same reasons I don't call ANYONE "white", no one is white. Before the actual northern europeans discovered "Africa" do you know who they called "blacks"? The word "Africa" has no translation in any of the "African" languages. For this reason it represant nothing for its people.

Racism and anti-blackness are actually way, way worse in the Arab world than in the so-called West. In the West, there are racist individuals, but racism is generally called out and looked down upon. There are also laws protecting against it. In the Arab world, they do not exist. Racism is common and seen as normal. And modern-day slavery is very widespread, especially in the Gulf. All the glitter that you see when going to Saudi Arabia, Qatar or Emirates is built and maintained by modern-day slaves from Africa and South-East Asia. Also, the reason why you were so "horribly shocked" is that there is virtually no conversation or debate about racism in these countries, while there has been endless soul-searching regarding this issue in the West. Black activism and movements such as BLM are virtually unthinkable in Arab countries. It is a taboo topic that no one talks about. Hence the widespread conviction that racism is an exclusively white problem. It is not and never has been. It's worth adding that the whites were actually the first in the world to abolish slavery on humanitarian grounds.

Some scholars argue that it was Arab Muslims in the Middle Ages who first introduced the concept of blacks as inferior to all other races. "Bernard Lewis argues that Islamic attitudes toward blacks underwent a gradual but unmistakable change between the Middle Ages and the early modern period. The conventional wisdom that evolved in the Arab world was that blacks were incorrigibly primitive, thus unequipped for civilization and better suited for slavery and servitude. For the first time, color seems to become a badge of inferiority." (D'Souza, "End of Racism," p. 46). There are many written observations of Medieval Muslim scholars comparing blacks unfavorably with the other races, and even comparing blacks to animals--which they did with great regularity. Here are two examples: "We know that the Negroes are the least intelligent and the least discerning of mankind, and the least capable of understanding the consequences of actions." - Biologist Jahiz (d. 868 AD), Kitab al-Bukhala (The Book of Misers). Jahiz was one of the first scientists to propose Evolution. "If all types of men are taken and placed one after another...the Negro does not differ from an animal in anything except that his hands have been lifted from the earth---in no other peculiarity or property. Many have seen that the ape is more capable of being trained than the Negro, and more intelligent."

Racism from the Quran and Hadith against Black people: Hadith; vol.9:162,163: Muhammad warned that dreams of black women meant disease was forthcoming. Ishaq: 243 "I heard the Apostle say: ‘Whoever wants to see Satan should look at Nabtal!' He was a black man with long flowing hair, inflamed eyes, and dark ruddy cheeks…. Allah sent down concerning him: ‘To those who annoy the Prophet there is a painful punishment." [Surah 9:61] "Gabriel came to Muhammad and said, ‘If a black man comes to you his heart is more gross than a donkey's Who really is Allah? The Qur'an (Koran) says that Allah desires to lead people astray (Qur'an Sura 6:39, 126). He does not help those who are led astray by him (Sura 30:29), and Allah desires to use them to populate hell (Sura 32:13). Shem, the son of Noah was the father of the Arabs, the Persians, and the Greeks; Ham was the father of the Black Africans; and Japheth was the father of the Turks and of Gog and Magog who were cousins of the Turks. Noah prayed that the prophets and apostles would be descended from Shem and kings would be from Japheth. He prayed that the African’s color would change so that their descendants would be slaves to the Arabs and Turks. Tabari II 11 Ham [Africans] begat all those who are black and curly-haired, while Japheth [Turks] begat all those who are full-faced with small eyes, and Shem [Arabs] begat everyone who is handsome of face with beautiful hair. Noah prayed that the hair of Ham’s descendants would not grow beyond their ears, and that whenever his descendants met Shem’s, the latter would enslave them. Tabari II 21 It is your folly to fight the Apostle, for Allah’s army is bound to disgrace you. We brought them to the pit. Hell was their meeting place. We collected them there, black slaves, men of no descent. Ishaq 450 The black troops and slaves of the Meccans cried out and the Muslims replied, ‘Allah destroy your sight, you impious rascals.’ Ishaq:37 "Abu Darda reported that the Holy Prophet said: Allah created Adam when he created him (sic). Then He stroke (sic) his right shoulder and took out a white race as if they were seeds, and He stroke (sic) his left shoulder and took out a black race as if they were coals. Then He said to those who were in his right side: Towards paradise and I don't care. He said to those who were on his left shoulder: Towards Hell and I don't care. - Ahmad" Mishkat, Vol. 3, p. 117 Ahmad ibn Abi Sulayman, the companion of Sahnun said, “Anyone who says that the Prophet was black should be killed. Ibn Musa al-Yahsubi, Qadi ‘Iyad, p.37 "Shem, the son of Noah was the father of the Arabs, the Persians, and the Greeks; Ham was the father of the Black Africans; and Japheth was the father of the Turks and of Gog and Magog who were cousins of the Turks. Noah prayed that the prophets and apostles would be descended from Shem and kings would be from Japheth. He prayed that the African's color would change so that their descendants would be slaves to the Arabs and Turks." Al-Tabari, Vol. 2, p. 11, p. 1 And on the day of resurrection you shall see those who lied against Allah; their faces shall be blackened. Is there not in hell an abode for the proud? Qur'an 39:60 There is not a single verse in the Bible that shows favor Black people or White people All the people who claimed to be Christians, who mingled Christianity with their evil practices such as the KKK and the slave traders did their practices outside the bible. They were not Biblical Christians. Christ preached love and these people preached hatred. John 12:32 Jesus says; And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw ALL MEN unto me (take Note He didnt say i will draw white people only...He said all men) 1 Cor 7:7 For I would that ALL MEN were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. 1 Timothy 2 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have ALL MEN to be saved , and to come unto the knowledge of the truth (He didnt say only white people can be saved but all people, ALL MEN) 1 Tim 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in him should not perish , but have everlasting life. (That whosoever pertains to anyone that believes not a person whose skin is whiter).

Muslims believe that black people are cursed. That is a common preaching in islam. That's all you muslims preach. We know everything that is written in your books. Your religious text are not devinely inspired at all. If your Allah were God, he will be a god of love. You even kill for allah. What kind of a god will require that you kill for him? If your allah were powerful, he will take revenge himself. The characteristics of Allah are synonymous to the god of the old testament which is based on the religious law of Moses. In The case of Christianity, Christ came to perfect that Law of Moses by showing us that God is love and that the God projected to the people by Moses was not his ultimate form but the God of "religion."

I agree. There is colorism and an anti-blackness (mostly inherited from colonialism) in the Arab world, there is no denying that. However there are also examples of African and Arab unity from modern times to times earlier in history. They never bring up how Malcolm X was treated like royalty (in his own words) in the Arab world, and he saw how there were black people in high positions of power uncomparable to segregated America at the time. Or how the Algerians and Palestinians helped the Black Panthers in the 1960s with training and support. Or the Non-Alignment Pact between African and Arab leaders. The relationship and friendship between Mandela and Arafat. Northern Sudan became what it is through intermarriage between Hejazi Arab tribes and the Nubians, whole nation of Afro-Arabs. The Moors were Berbers, Arabs and Black Africans united by Islam and the Arabic language. The black Caliphs and leaders in Islam etc. We should fight colorism and anti-blackness in the Arab world, however one way of doing that is by highlighting bond we have historically shared as Arabs and people of African descent as well. Remember Ismael (as) was mixed-race, the mother of the father of the Arabs, Hegar was a Nubian woman.And that is why bi-racial people can sometimes look very much like Arabs.
