I question if it was against the Arabs actually. There are different people operating behind the guise of Islam, theres the Arabs, the Turks, the "Persians", and Berbers. These peoples adopted "Islamic" names. The very terms that are used to describe certain regions and peoples are actually from the languages of the different peoples who ruled under the guise of Islam.

e.g.:

• the "Arabs" named Sudan from S-w-d meaning black, with the added n for plurarity so Sudan literally means Blacks.
• The Turks and the "Persians" used the term Zenci\Zanj to refer to black people, hence the name Zanjibar\Zanzibar.
• Then also, the Turks have another term for describing blacks called Arap.

Makes me wonder if Arap is origin of Arab and comes from turkish.

Who were really ruling that area then is my question.

Okello came later. And it doesnt matter it was majority Zanzibaris Muslims wanting to kick the Arab MUSLIMS off their island.

YEP! The Swahili history even in recent times is a true inspiration when it comes to African history. It like a rise and fall but another rise. But is crazy that so called "Afrocentrics" HARDLY talk about the Swahili story. And people look at me crazy when I say Bantu people are literally the slavs of Africa.

Whats the history on this?

Since the Coli and many black people seem to think Africa was always at the mercy of Arabs and Africans/blacks NEVER fought back and won... Lets talk about the Zanzibar revolution. We all know about the Nubians giving the Arabs a big L but I hardly see anyone discuss when the Swahilis of Zanzibar gave Arabs one of the most BRUTAL beatings.

The beating was so brutal that when I read through it I'm like . What the Swahilis did to their former Arab oppressors was some "cover your eyes" type shyt. But also it was Aricans overthrowing Arabs and taking BACK repeat BACK their island, culture and identity.



So why isn't this talked about much by other blacks who are into African history. Hell blacks who are anti-Arab.

Here's something to look at @AITheAnswerAI since you feel 'african-americans are a constant reminder that Africans are cowards' because they didn't come to your rescue
