Great people like Ms Eman Mabrouk and No. Funny Business inspired me to use my voice, no matter how big or small my reach may be. Silence helps no one. Truth is the first step forward.
Anti-Blackness in the Arab world is real and historical. Long before the Atlantic slave trade, the trans-Saharan and Indian Ocean slave trades enslaved millions of Black Africans, and early European powers like the Portuguese entered systems that already existed before Europeans later radicalized and systematized anti-Blackness to an unprecedented level.
This is not about blame, accusation, or spreading hate. Itβs about acknowledging history, raising awareness, and addressing the discrimination Afro-Arabs still face today.
