Slavery in Mauritania & the Race Card for president!

The real race card is not people of color raising the issue of race (or, for example, the legacy of slavery), but the silence around race, like flashing a picture of Obama in a turban to a bunch of underexposed Christian fundamentalists in the heartland! That's a race card- a game played with the destiny of another people!

Some see racism as a game 'those people' play, while others see it as a constant force of oppression. The truth is probably somewhere in between, and all sides are in denial about their own power to create change.

I really enjoyed your talk..very interesting and informative and I did like the music in the background but maybe next time just turn it down a tad bit it kinda drowned out your voice at points.

[diepiriye]

@BenisALLupinURface Thank you. Yes, this was an early video and I've learned heaps about production since then. Indeed, the music is way too loud.

Africans must get beyond the question of colour, they must recognise the problems which confront the whole world, like all human beings.

If others undervalue us, that has no further significance for us.

Africa must stop deriving everything from the European or Arab view.

Africans must throw off the shackles of man made religions like Islam.

Often in Africa it's only the men who speak, but one forgets the role of women.

There can be no development in Africa if women are left out of the account.

@TheProphetMo AMEN!

Im slowing learning to hate white Arabs.

[Killayut]

@SkaRocksYea Some conquered blacks Now claim to be ARABS and other enslaved Blacks  who in thousands of years ago intermarried with Arabs to form a proto mixed colored Arabs. They are now the black ARABS.

[BenisALLupinURface]

@dazamaru Your missing the point completely.

[mooncooninc83]

@dazamaru It's not about hating anyone, fam. It's merely about overstanding what the global system of racism/White supremacy is and how it works within all areas of human activity (i.e. entertainment, education, labor, politics, law, religion, sex, war, healthcare, and economics).

@TheProphetMo "Africans must get beyond the question of colour"..... :-|

When one looks at the history of the so-called modern world accurately...it's clear that so-called Africans/Black ppl are NOT the ones who've displayed an ongoing problem with color. If anything, the color prejudices found within so-called Black communities is the direct/indirect result of racism/White supremacy.
