In North Africa & the Middle East, Black people have long been subject to different forms of discrimination. Constantly persecuted, insulted, assaulted for no reason & treated as the scums of the earth. Blacks in these countries endure a form of virulent racism that African Americans haven’t seen in more than 50 years. they are considered descendants of slaves & labeled “hartani” literally, “second-rate free men”, or even worse, “Abd” which translates to “Slave”.
The Canadian academic Salim Mansur has claimed, “Blacks are viewed by Arabs as racially inferior, & Arab violence against blacks has a long, turbulent record.”
As such, the Obama Administration should support the Rights of black people in Middle East & North Africa to liberty, equality, dignity, security & Justice.
