Black Libyans discussing being called "Abeed" by Arab Libyans

[Marquis]

Wallahi this got me teary-eyed. It doesn't matter if your ancestors where enslaved or not, to Arabs the skin color black is synonymous with slave, it is literally what they call all black people.

This hurts to watch wallahi

Man, imagine being called Slave instead of your name, constantly referred to that by people of all demographics, from the youth to the elders. Doesn't matter if your ancestors where enslaved or not, your skin color ties you to that label

Most of the black people in Libya aren't descendants from slavery, they are mostly of Toubou origin. A nomadic Muslim ethnic group that spans Libya, Chad and Sudan.

These people are being called Abeed because Slave is synonymous with skin color. It is why some Somalis get called that in Egypt and the Gulf.

Really sad. If there’s a group of people I feel sorry for it has to be them. Being disrespected in their own country smh

It's like this in all Arab countries. To them your skin color = slave.

This is what happens when u have no power, they need to take over Libya and put the mutts in chains, that would solve there issue instead of crying about it.

God help them, but I can't help feeling like you're using their suffering as some twisted form of trolling, like it's a game to score against the pro-arab trolls on this forum.

Libya is a shithole, I can't wait until the U.S decides to destroy it, I will be willing to dance on Libyans graves. Insha-Allah

Them being ~7% of the population explains the lack of power. People should fight to change their shitty conditions, but what you suggest is too unrealistic.

The second tweet says “Al Kalimat”, which means “a word” in arabic. For those of you none arabic speakers

I can’t believe I understood a whole arabic tweet word for word, I guess I’ll be joining the akh movement now

Now that I’ve found my ancestral birth rite language, don’t hesitate to ask me to translate some arab stuff for you

@Cyrus, I’m ready for my initiation ya ukhti

 

[Odkac WRLD]

May Allah SWT make things easier for all of them.

Why is dark skin associated with being slave
Wtf plenty of white North africans are descendents of slaves including all these bastard blue eye libyans/egyptians

Half of Egypt/Libya is dark skinned, they are a similar skin tone to Somali people especially in the south.
