[QUOTE]Originally posted by S.Mohammad: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by S.Mohammad: [b] I really don't want to sound too anti-Arab but I just don't see the need to identify strongly with anything 'Arab'. Though Islam was supposedly started in Arabia, identifying as 'Arab' holds no significance. The Sudanese, in particular, the Nubians(Jaaliyn and Juhanya peoples) had a far more advanced civilization than anything found in the Arabian Peninsula, how could they look down on those who refuse to be Arabized? I think European colonialism played a big part in people chosing to identify as Arabs, for the fact that Europeans gave them better treatment. This complex can also be seen in some people in Zanzibar and some of the other Swahili peoples. You have people there who are heavily black in phenotype, but will identify as 'Arab' because he had a relative in his family 600 years ago who was Arab, only ONE Arab at that. Thats pathetic.[/b][/QUOTE] Well actually the reason why I'm so hard on the Arab side is because a lot of African-Americans just aren't aware of the damage so-called 'Arabs' caused, especially in regards to slavery. I once questioned a follower of the Nation of islam about this and he got so upset. Arabs did just as much damage as Europeans did and still more if we look at Darfur. Alot of that has to do with the grandiose attitudes of Arabs themselves, but some of that was influenced by European colonists. Overall, i think American blacks should know more about the Arab side. its correct that Europeans did do alot of damage, but most are unaware of the damage Arabs and Arabization. [/QB][/QUOTE]
