nikka these mf's were on some ANTI BLACK trader bullshyt against "their own" then yeah they needed to go, and most brutally.
No. They were ANTI certain African tribes. Stop trying to project the American concept of race to them. Its like saying the Darfur crisis last decade was anti-black cause the North Sudanese who are ethnically Arab were fighting the South Sudanese that were ethnically Dinka and Nuer. It was a tribal conflict over water resources between two groups who looked phenotypically black. It was not about black vs non-black as the white media tried to make it out.
Just because white supremacy has decided to always identify slavery as a issue of black people being exploited by non-blacks does not mean we should accept it. Use your god damn head. If the Sultan of Zanzibar looked like that then this was obviously not about race as we understand it but rather it was about ethnicity. And when talking about ethnic beef, its universal across all races so why should we as black Americans care? Did you pick sides when the Hutus and Tutsis were killing each other? Or how about the current conflict in Ethiopia?
The Zanzibar conflict is no different than any other African conflict between different ethnic groups.
