It already is, if only you know how many of these people are related, they even inter-marry to keep the power locked in their hands, Ajimobi son and Ganduje's daughter and a few others, just look it up

The way this guy talks and the way his face is na match made in heaven. Sometimes you can tell a person's IQ just by looking at them. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this.

Everyday Discrimination

The stories don’t stop at cemeteries or marriage. Black Tunisians describe being insulted in the street, called racial slurs like “abid” (slave), and treated as second-class citizens in their own country. The Al Jazeera piece even reported de facto segregation in schools and housing in some areas.

Interestingly, there is a place in Gaza that the Arabs "conveniently" named "Al-Abid" meaning the village of slaves, it is a place where most of the indigenous black Palestinians (11,000 in total) were forced to stay in and despite numerous complaints, the name of this village remains "Al-Abid"

The fight for equality in the Arab world: Tunisia’s “Dirty Secret”: racism, Segregated Cemeteries, and the Fight for Equality

These days when people think of the Arab world,we think about the war in Gaza, the humanitarian crisis, the Arab Spring, Mediterranean beaches, the healthy Mediterranean diet and the significance of the region to most Abrahamic religious.

However, this article sheds light on a dark underbelly in the Arab world, specifically Tunisia, A nation that has a reputation as one of the more progressive countries in North Africa. But beneath that image lies a much less discussed reality: Tunisia has a long-standing problem with anti-Black racism that continues to shape everyday life for many of its citizens.

Two reports: Al Jazeera’s 2016 documentary “Tunisia’s Dirty Secret” and Al Arabiya’s 2018 feature on Black Tunisians , shed light on the issue. Both highlight a disturbing legacy that’s tied to Tunisia’s history with slavery (slavery was only officially abolished in 1846).

Segregated Cemeteries

In parts of Tunisia, especially in rural towns like Djerba, Black Tunisians (often descendants of enslaved people) are still buried in separate cemeteries or poorly maintained plots of land. Locals even refer to them as “slave cemeteries.” Meanwhile, nearby cemeteries for lighter-skinned Tunisians are better cared for and carry higher social status.

Municipal officials have admitted this segregation exists, but often chalk it up to “custom.” The practice is not written into Tunisian law — in fact, national law prohibits racial discrimination but the reality on the ground shows how deep the stigma runs.

Interracial Marriage

Both reports also show that marriage between Black and non-Black Tunisians remains socially taboo in many areas. Families sometimes reject or ostracize members who try to marry across color lines. The key point: interracial marriage is legal in Tunisia, but intense social prejudice can make it nearly impossible in practice for some couples.

Everyday Discrimination

The stories don’t stop at cemeteries or marriage. Black Tunisians describe being insulted in the street, called racial slurs like “abid” (slave), and treated as second-class citizens in their own country. The Al Jazeera piece even reported de facto segregation in schools and housing in some areas.

Legal Reforms vs. Social Reality

In 2018, Tunisia passed a landmark law criminalizing racial discrimination — the first of its kind in the Arab world. On paper, this was a huge step forward. In practice, though, enforcement is uneven, and centuries of social stigma don’t disappear overnight.

Why This Matters

Tunisia is often held up as a progressive example in the region, and in some ways that reputation is earned. But these reports show that progress isn’t evenly felt, and that Black Tunisians continue to fight for equality in ways that outsiders rarely hear about.

Tunisia may have progressive laws, but deep-rooted social customs still keep Black Tunisians marginalized.

You won't get any arguments from me about Arab and Persian racism. I still doesn't mean you should excuse Caucasian ones by saying "one is worse than the other".

Not excusing it, my original post was more focused on an argument based on religious and culturally accepted practices and my belief that the values from the middle east shouldn't truncate the values in the UK. However, read through the post again and you would clearly see that I called out western racism.

My point is this, what good is it to stand shoulder to shoulder with other so called POCs in the fight against the big bad white man,when at the end of the day, most of those same POCS would turn around and join the big bad white man to discriminate against black people in ways that are sometimes even worse than the racism from the white man? Most black people be the champion for everyone else's struggle while neglecting their own issues?

aswani:
You appear to have a problem with South East Asians and Muslims in the UK. Just bear in mind that those racists are not saying you are different, they are lumping you all together in their hatred of those that look different to them.

Also, if people didn't push back against slavery, and African Americans didn't push back against institutionalised racism, guess what you will still be? Some states in the US South actually had laws that made it a criminal offence for black people to be educated past primary level.

Are black or non white people perfect, no. Do some try to game the system, yes. Do whites not do the same, yes and even worse so.

To paraphrase :
They came for the Muslims, I said nothing.
They came for the Indians, I said nothing.
They came for the Gays, I said nothing.
They came for the gays. I said nothing.

When they came for me, there was no one to say anything.

As someone who once believed in equality for all, I have come to see the flaw in that belief system as many who the black diaspora and Africans have fought for in the past, have as much disdain for us black people as those who we fought against on their behalf.

I am now more concerned about the wellbeing of the black man rather than that of other races who have as much ( if not more) hatred for the blackman. This habit of sweeping racism in the Islamic world under the carpet while flashing the spotlight on Western racism has to stop, religion should not make a group of people beyond criticism and that is the problem I have with some Muslims.

What is right is right, if we must (and yes we must) criticize and fight against racism from Europeans then we must also do the same for the Arab and Islamic world.

Good morning, your brothers are still asleep. We are getting there

Commentor:
Rubbish.

Apart from the truly racist psychos, white Nationalism is sponsored by the wealthy who wish to distact from the truth.

The truth being that you would work and you would never own a home - Private Equity has bought up most houses, whilst the value of a home is worth 7 times the average annual salary.

When coloured people - you included, are seen making any progress, they are assumed rather erroneously, to have gamed the system or beneficiaries of lax immigration/welfare to the detriment of the indigenous whites.

You can make a case against imposition or adoption of Sharia in some communities without making a rod for your own back.

Trust me, your back would be the centre of those lashes.

You really think I am not aware of the globalist behind the scenes bankrolling Tommy Morrison? I saw for myself back in 2024 when a black guy was attacked in Manchester Piccadilly Gardens. I know what is really at play here, however my point is, this is not a kumbaya solidarity moment as those people you are trying to stand with would throw you under the bus in a matter of seconds, I have experienced the deception of most other minority groups or so called POCs towards black and African people. There is no solidarity and as such Black people should protest for the issues that are solely beneficial to their communities. This habit of letting everyone piggy back on your struggle is the reason why people come in and as soon as the doors is open they immediately switch to the Conservative side and start fighting against that movement that brought them in!

Oh he cut am short? He for stay reach January 2026 nah. After all, everything is good. Minster of enjoyment

I am all for diversity and anti racism, however many in that crowd screaming against "racism" such as the middle easterns and South East Asians would treat a black man worse than a dog.

Their religion and culture enforces the belief that the place of a black man is beneath them and the only reason why they are being vocal now is because for the first time in their lives they are on the receiving end of racism. Many of these are also predators who regularly assault underage children as that type of behaviour is normal in their culture and religion.

And then there's the case of the "anti-racism" protesters from the middle east calling for sharia in their communities. I remember having this discussion with a british friend who was virtue signalling, I told him I come from a country where there are two systems in a region of that country, the sharia and the government system, how does one determine which supercedes the other, he didn't have an answer (mind you this same liberal clown of a guy was trying to compare the so called struggle of LGBT to centuries of racism, thats a talk for another day), long story short, you cannot come into another person's country and ask to burn down their constitution and replace it with Sharia law, you are free to go to Gaza, Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan or Bangladesh , they have sharia in those places.

I never thought I would see the day when I would be on the side of the white nationalists but well, here we are. Believe it or not, there is a lesser evil and in this case, based on my experience with both sides, the lesser evil are the whites. Trust me you have not experienced racism, hate and religious intolerance until you spend time around middle Eastern and South East Asian people.

If you don dey UK for some time, you go know wetin I dey talk. If you know you know.

Racoon:
Britain should should have known by now that with many nations smarting out from the neo-colonialist and all the evil of the imperialists era, many will like to pay them back in their own coin.

So if it like, let it continue to accept all manner of radical religious fellas in the name of being woke, liberalism or gaddamned human rights. The ripple effects are all there for the world to see.

Oga do your job and stop this nonsense guilt tripping abeg. You are in a position of power, if your leadership is questionable of course people would comment about it.

That is not judgement, abi when you write exam and the examiner gives you a pass or fail based on your performance, would you say they are judging you and shouldn't do it so others won't judge them in return?

If Northerners like make dem kpai themselves finish.

City boy is back and would rule until 2031. Minister of enjoyment

Gomina is doing well. Following his role models footprints in the way he's "fixing" Nigeria like he "fixed" Lagos

Dem say one go handle economics and the other go handle security

Oh boy, see talk sha. I swear the evil that men do would always come back to hunt them

Nigerians go throw their support behind nonsense and when that person gets elected, dem go start to borrow money for immigration to UK, Canada and USA. Trump dey send them come back

The way dem take insult this girl the other day for speaking the truth really surprised me. Happy for her.

kolente:
Nigeria currently houses the wealthiest Black Man in the entire world. Aliko Dangote re-inforced the fact that he has only one house he owns in the whole world and it is in Nigeria.

I watched this Podcast and as an avid traveller across Africa ,the EU zone and the US, I can categorically say that this presenters are the most narrow minded and vague minded OAPs.

Of what benefit is it to have the richest man in Africa while the remaining 90% of the population are impoverished? Make una dey think first before going into nationalistic overdrive

SeeWahala:
Nigeria is currently THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD that actively negotiates with terrorists

And some people feel this insecurity will end? Hahaha 🤣😂

I am scared to imagine what exactly is on the negotiation table as anyone.

As the idea of negotiating with so-called “bandits” (I use that term because calling them what they truly are is often frowned upon here on Nairaland...not sure why that's the case) becomes increasingly normalized, especially with the Katsina governor following the lead of other northern governors in engaging with them, one question keeps coming to mind: what exactly are these bandits demanding?

With the Niger Delta militants, their demands centered on resource control. But in this case, I haven’t come across any clear explanation of what the bandits’ actual terms or objectives are.

Could someone with deeper insight shed light on this? I’m genuinely curious.

People still watch this stuff? That's crazy. Interesting
