North Africans : Are They Africans?

Taken from theREN Experience #21

[agz]

yes as a tunisian we are not arabs and we are african but north africans not black africans we are amazigh

[Nyxar-]

No, Morocco left the African Union because of its support for the Polisario, nothing to do with identity. It wanted to join the European Union because of the great benefits it offers. Moroccans are well aware of the fact that we are Africans, but we are confused about whether we are Arabs or Berbers

I’m glad the elephant in the room is being discussed. More of this!

[FlavoredGenuine]

North Africans are indeed Africans because it’s part of the African continent and the Amazigh people who are indigenous to the North African countries.

They may look phenotypically and genetically different but they are Africans indeed.

Do you mind to invite Julius malema on your podcast

What is Sudan? It has both an Arab and African identity, where the Arab identity being the dominant one.

We are Tunisians and we know our history before your history. To remind you, the name of your continent is taken from Tunisia. Have you heard of Carthage? We are not black, we are not Arab, and we know our origins better than you. We are the ones who wrote our history, and the West is not the one who wrote it like you.

[FahadTalbi]

As a Tunisian we are from the region of modern day Palestine and Lebanon we are most definitely not black we don’t share anything similar accept for our religion Islam and our we are not confused we very much know our roots and history and I’m talking in 10.000 years+ North Africans are not apart of your dna

[argazmellal]

we are Berbers North Africans Algerians and of course Africans chaouis/ kabyles and we are simply Numidians 💪🏼💪🏼♓️🇩🇿♓️🇩🇿 do you have a problem with that ?

[Baddiebaddie]

I'm curious to know how North Africans in America navigate this.

[kykypia]

Debate for their Africans? Is that the correct title for this clip? Did you mean Africaness?

[gamalnassertv]

Lol, Egypt and the entire Maghreb has been Western Eurasian influenced for thousands of years since the Paleolithic and Neolithic transitions, and other parts like the Horn of Africa and Sahel region are admixed with these populations.

I’m native Moroccan, I’m not a negroid and I’m very much aware of my africaness. Please, leave this American colonisation colourist mindset of Africa equals black elsewhere, North Africans aren’t all black, we are also Mediterranean and vary a lot in skin color depending regions. Africa ≠ black. Furthermore, my countries political affiliations and decisions do not change my ancestry, nor does the language that I speak. Most North Africans adopted Arabic to understand their religion better, given that it is the sacred language of the holy Quran. I think it’s unfortunate to see people fall into hatred in regards of the creation of these recent political identities. Also, maybe if you proved your point with scientific studies, your claims would have been more valid and reasonable.

Where is the other video of Lumumba sitting with a pan-African group talking about the incident with the Algerian lady in Ivory Coast?

[keifer]

What does it even mean to be African? Similarly, does it mean something to be European? Or Asian? Or South American?

[handleisGG]

Egyptians WERE NEVER NEGROID 😂 the bantu colonialism is crazy SOMALIA ISNT NEGROID EITHER bantus COLONISED THEM they are AFROASIATIC NOT BLACK

[d-beats]

I disagree with his description of these folks. Arabs are not Afrikans

[jjkblami]

I'm from Algeria and we are not Africans

[Evolution-cb]

You are in the countries of Europe if Africa is for blacks if Europe is for whites😊
