ALKEBULAN with The Merc

Why North Africans are angry I told the truth


Listen Later

Alkebulanians,

In this episode, I address the intense backlash regarding my comments on North Africa when I pushed back against a video of a Moroccan woman gaslighting black Africans about her African identity.

I break down the historical truth of Arab invasions versus indigenous origins to dismantle such rhetoric directed at Black Africans, arguing that true unity is impossible until we face these uncomfortable historical facts head-on.
