I will give you your props for having fact sheet knowledge.
lol, here comes the grossly innacurate self portrayal of having more real life knowledge, of things that go on in Sudan.
Though I haven't had an argument where I copied [/QOUTE] and pasted it after every point an individuals has made since I like Naruto. And I still think Jiriya would beat Itachi.
Where the hell did Naruto come from?
Let's look at this through the eyes of a black man.
You are completely incapable of speaking for people in Sudan. That you think being African-American gives you this insight is about as laughable as me randomly claiming I can speak for Udmurt shamans.
This world is a lot fucking bigger then you seem to have any sort of inkling of. If you think for one second that growing up black in America has bearing on pastoralists being shot down by militias in the Sahara then you're absolutely off your rocker.
One drop of black blood makes you black for ever!
What the fuck is this shit.
There is no afro - arab it's only an afro.
You're not even fucking trying anymore, you're so fucking below this conversation. You don't seem to give one shit for the real life complexities of the world and are jamming everything into an already claustrophobic AMERICAN and borderline garbage racial guideline system, everything fits into your world view or it gets forced in.
You don't really give one fuck about the people in Darfur or Africa do you. Since you don't give any kind of fuck about understanding them and their world. You're some sort of psuedo-colonialist nutbar who wants to warp and twist everything to fit a completely foreign ideology.
Having an arab name means nothing my cousin has an arab first name.
YOUR LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, A COUNTRY FILLED WITH DIASPORA, WHERE ETHNICITY LOSES MEANING AFTER A FEW GENERATIONS
If you think people in Sudan casually intermarry, and trade names around like it ain't no thang over ethnic lines then you are completely lost on remotely comprehending the reality of ethnic strife.
I mean what the fuck, if I was talking about Nazi Germany would you be laughing about how there was no way the Nazi's could figure out who Jews were by such things as names? Are you that ignorant of the world outside your own country?
Your right it is black vs black. Though a hand full of arab settlers does not make you anything but a black with an arab great great grandfather.
CULTURALLY ARAB
NOT "RACIALLY", NOT GENETICALLY, CULTURALLY.
There were no Arab settlers, the Nubian kingdoms converted to Islam like many of the major African Saharan kingdoms, and adapted culture from Arabia like hundreds of other different ethnic groups of all sorts of skin tones who were on the edge of the Arab Caliphates.
Do you not understand how influential the Caliphates were? They were MAJOR civilizations that were essentially the first world enlightened peoples of the time. They were having renaissance of cultural booms while most European kings were still illiterate barbarian lords.
The only difference between the Afro-Arabs and people who live in Lebanon is that one is olive skinned and one is black skinned. They're both peoples who were originally different ethnic groups and adapted Arab culture when it came their way.
Why are black skinned people not allowed to do this, hundreds on hundreds of years ago at that, but olive skinned people are perfectly alright in doing it. Oh and white skinned people, because the Visigoth remanents were Arabized. That's all fine and dandy, but black people can't do it without crossing some bizarre Sudan irrelevant line?
The point of the whole war is to clear out the blacks who don't claim any arab decent and take land from them.
Ethnic cleansing of weak pastoral peoples, favoritism for the dominant ethnic group over those that are in the way of what the others want.
Tale as old as time.
If you want to label that as government vs poor people then go ahead.
Ethnicities have differentiating class status. You're African American, you know this very well.
The Government is dominated by the Afro-Arabs, as is the economy, the major cities, all of that.
The people they're abusing are pastoralists. They have no power.
It's nothing but hate for blackness in Darfur.
ahahaha, yes, these guys really hate blackness!

Why the fuck are random tribal ethnicities legitimate cultures for a black person to have, but not Arabized ones? Do you hate on the various black people who live in countries like Libya, Morocco, and Egypt who are as normal a citezin there as the lighter skinned rest of the populations? What about Somali culture? The Saharan peoples like the Songhai? Why are they illegitimate, not "black".
Because the people funding this are arabs. I don't mean afro arabs they consider themselves arab.
They are Arab! Arab has never been a race. It's one of the widest and most varying ethnic identities in the world.
lollll, hold on, hoooold on. Do you think the Darfur pastoralists identify as "Black"? ahahahahahaha
They identify as, depending which ones, Fur, Zaghawa, Masalit, and scores of others.
You don't even fucking know who these peoples are. And you don't care.
"Afro-Arab" is a term that had to me made because morons like you think of Arab as a race or specific look, and when an Arab is also black people get befuddled and so this term helps settle that confusion a bit. Though clearly you're so confused it has done nothing for you.
Though I think it's childish to through in "oh if it was in ethopia the arabs would be getting abused". Of course they would it's a widely christian place. Though I very much doubt if anyone would get hurt. It probably wouldn't go further than the silly notion of reverse racism in north africa.
Alright don't even fucking respond to me you ignorant fucking fool. You read this and you shut up. That's all you can do anyway so don't waste anyones time.
What really annoys me is that you take my honesty about the tragedy's in darfur as the rantings of a butthurt black man mad at society.
You're warped provincial flat out wrong ideas about how things are over there are goddamned dangerous. For them if you ever gained some sort of power over that situation. And for yourself if you ambled into it and started saying the ignorant shit you have to the face of some Somali guy about how his cultural heritage is "pretending to not be black" or some such trash.
You'd deserve that beating, but don't for one second think this is me hating on your sympathy rather then smashing you're frightening ignorance of the world that helps literally nobody.
Truth is those indigenous blacks in Darfur are victims.
They're all indigenous blacks. Everyone there.
And yes they're victims. At least you can figure out that much.
That's it. I'm just saying that If Luffy was to help them he would have to go against those who claim to be arab
They are fucking Arab.
All this talk about race this and race that is stupid.
It's the real goddamn world you idiot child.
You from africa you black thats it.
You stupid fucking bastard.

Never open you mouth about the world outside the US again. You don't know fuck all.
I have to look at it like an American because that's what I am
I'm American too you imbecile.
What a meaningless fucking horrible excuse. I'm not some hoity toity private school Yaley, **I'm all self educated on this stuff.
Get off your lazy ass if you really care about Africa and learn about Africa.**
unfortunately. I know they're black and dammit they know over there that they're black. Ain't nobody fucking stupid!!

I'm speaking about Africa in general.
Africa is MASSIVE.
Does it tell you in your text book that lighter skin is better? No because you don't fucking learn that in a text book. Do you want to know how I know? Becuase Im fcking light skinned. You can call it what ever you want all your research is petty compared to my growing up around black people all my life and being black.
Yeah and I'm an expert on Yugoslavia because I'm white.
Everything you just said is bullshit, you don't a damn thing about what goes on in Africa. You've shown terrifying fucking cluelessness on everything to do with ethnicity. All you know is race, which is going to get you really fucking nowhere in most of Africa north of South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Wanting to be everything but black. if a black man sticks his dick in a white woman you will not get a blond haired blue eyed baby. Stop trying to categorize people like dog breeds.
I can't believe you haven't defied some law of physics yet with how moronic this post is. You're basically denying the entire world of ethnicities because "lol im black and all those epople are too so i know wats up."
Find your nearest Somali immigrant and get your ass kicked or worse by talking about how he's the same as an someone from Ethiopia and how any difference is "text bookz!!!".
I'm clearly not going to reach you, so maybe a war orphan taxi driver can learn you just how painfully real these "text book facts" are.
It's much simpler than what your text book tells you. It's plain ol lynch in africa.
You're just some lazy ass kid who has never done a damn thing to look into this continent.
This all started because you thought I was calling black people regular arabs.
This all started because I knew damn well what misconceptions you had about Sudan, and look how incredibly right I was to dig on that. You have a gross history of cluelessness on this topic, I was making easy money on an easy bet.
No it's not. Well at least not in this case. Arab africans think they're better because arabs are lighter.
No they fucking don't.
How hard is it to wrap your head around how a more urbanized majority ethnic group can look down on a poor minority farmer one.
Though they may not be light their grandfathers were, making them better.
Nobodies goddamn grandfathers were lighter. Where the fuck did you even get that. I explained to you the history of Arabization in Northern Sudan, and I damn sure know you've never heard it anywhere else then me, and I damn sure never mentioned anyone having lighter grandfathers, and they damn sure didn't. They started practicing different customs, wearing different clothing, different languages etc etc etc. And not because it was lighter, but because all of that shit was the shit to people back then. Everyone, dark, olive, and white, yes white, was buying into Arab culture if they were near the Caliphate.
Fun Fact: The Darfur peoples are also distantly culturally Arab in that the Arab Caliphates passed Islam and a few cultural traditions down into the Sahel in West Africa which went East and converted those peoples. So they're doing Arabey things too, just not as much.
Now stop yammering and do you're fucking homework.
