I’ve seen some people refuse to shake hands with them as if they have leprosy or an infectious disease or something. It really pisses me off.”
Racism is fatal in Egypt. In December 2005, Egyptian riot police killed at least 23 unarmed Sudanese refugees, including small children, who had occupied a public park in front of a United Nations office for three months.
Anti-black racism is not just an Egyptian problem. It exists in many parts of the Arab world. The trade that sent enslaved Africans east of the continent has yet to have a similar reckoning — incomplete as it is — as that which headed west of Africa. The word “abeed” (slave) is casually a used to refer to people who are black in the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula.
I want to tell them of a Sierra Leonean man who was in Cairo to study at al-Azhar University who told me of being spat at in Cairo streets. Or of the teenage South Sudanese girl taunted by an Egyptian woman on the metro who tried to grab her nose and mouth until I intervened. None of our fellow passengers said a word. I apologized to the girl for what she had experienced. “That happens every day,” she told me.
Как интересно. Чурки не подают чёрным руку, чурки зовут их "рабами", чурки каждый день издеваются в открытую над девочкой из Сьерра-Леоне, но где живут расисты?
