Imagine being dark-skinned in Egypt, standing in the land of your ancestors, only to have some Arabs tell you that you are not native and must be from Sudan. That kind of identity policing is wild, especially when Arabs themselves are not indigenous to Egypt or the rest of Africa. What makes it worse is that these same racist lighter-skinned Arab Egyptians will question the origins of dark-skinned Egyptians, then turn around and claim direct descent from the ancient Egyptians. If people want to say “modern Egyptians descend from ancient Egyptians,” they need to be more specific and honest about the ethnic lineages. Egypt was not untouched by foreign settlement or conquest. Persians, Greeks/Macedonians under the Ptolemies, Romans/Byzantines, Arabs, Kurds under the Ayyubids, Mamluk military slaves, and Ottoman Turks all ruled, settled, or left their population in Egypt at different points. So dark-skinned Egyptians alone should never be treated as foreigners in a land that has always been deeply connected to Africa and the Nile Valley. The hypocrisy is the problem: some Arabs want to claim ancient Egypt when it gives them prestige, but reject dark-skinned Egyptians when their appearance does not fit the image they prefer to be advertised for their country.

Finally wrapped up my short fantasy-adventure film inspired by the Kingdom of Benin and the Edo people of present-day Nigeria—one of my favorite African civilizations to study and creatively explore. I tried to keep the clothing and cultural elements grounded in Edo traditions while blending them with fantasy and science fiction. I’m much more interested in imaginative adaptations than strict historical reenactments because fantasy, adventure, and sci-fi allow us to explore African cultures in limitless new ways. Edo culture has so much potential for world-building, character design, architecture, mythology, technology, and storytelling. It is genuinely one of the most fascinating cultures to experiment with creatively. For my next short film, I’m focusing heavily on Ashanti culture. In the future, I would also love to explore Dahomey, Munhumutapa, and many other African kingdoms and civilizations through fantasy, adventure, and science fiction. I’m completely obsessed with sci-fi and would love to continue creating stories that use African societies and civilizations as the foundation for entirely new worlds. I would love to hear your opinions: which African civilization would you like to see me explore next?

I know you’re an Arab worshipper, but did you even watch the full video? The mother—a Muslim woman—was still enslaved by Hassaniya Arabs. They raped her, and she gave birth to this Afro-Arab, light-skinned child. That same Arab father then raped his own daughter, and eventually killed their child. This is Muslims enslaving other Muslims in Mauritania, purely based on race and skin color. I understand that many Black Muslims have a strong cultural and religious attachment to Arabs, but it blinds too many to the pure evil unfolding in places like Mauritania and Sudan. Hereditary chattel slavery, systematic rape, and racial hierarchy persist there, often justified or tolerated under twisted interpretations of tradition. Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away.

In this video, enslaved Haratine women, who are blood relatives of Senegambians, are being forced to dance for their Beidane slave masters while they watch, laugh, and entertain themselves. I know some Black people in the diaspora might say, “They all look Black to me,” but that ignores the visible social and ethnic distinctions in Mauritania. The women dancing appear visibly African in their facial features and skin tone, while many of the Beidane being entertained are lighter-skinned, with some darker-skinned individuals reflecting Berber ancestry and centuries of mixing with Hassaniya Arab-speaking groups. The self-proclaimed Wolof Senegambian nationalist would rather claim the Beidane, also known as the “White Moors,” as his cousins than acknowledge the Haratine, who are more closely related by blood to many Senegambian peoples as their cousins. Could this explain why Senegambians remain so quiet about the treatment of Black Africans in Mauritania by these Arab-Berber mixed communities, who they prefer to be their cousins!! Is it me or do Senegambians have this weird obsession with this lighter-skinned mixed race Maghreb’s then they do with black Maghreb’s who they share genetic relations to?

I’m convinced Black men are in Europe to help address the declining birth rate.

This European anthropologist said, ‘They have the fine features of a non-African race.’ Thankfully, the Tuaregs didn’t fall for this Eurocentric propaganda to divide them. If it had been the Tutsi and Hutu listening to this, it would have worked. But the Tuaregs are smart people. These European anthropologists have a weird perception of race when it comes to Africa: they meet a dark-skinned African ethnic group in Algeria and automatically declare them not Negroids — and claim they have lighter skin — when they are literally very melanated.
