Jonathan Elkhoury- جوناثان الخوري @Jonathan_Elk: The idea that only white people are colonizers is crazy. Arabs are one of the biggest colonizers in the world. Arab against antisemitism ✡️ @arab_leb2 Arabs are not victims of colonialism; they are part of it and have played a great role in it. Jul 8, 2024
BTTT
1. African Moors invaded Europe's Iberian peninsula.
2. Asian Mongols invaded Eastern Europe.
3. Turkish Muslims invaded Europe's Balkan region.
There are Arab whites who are whiter than European whites, and vice-versa.
Ancestors of Native Americans crossed the Bering Strait from Siberia, and colonized the Americas.
The Mongol hordes colonized most of Asia.
Pacific Islanders colonized a bunch of islands.
So it goes.
Thanks
Arabs still hold slaves
And look how the Middle East turned out after the Ottoman Empire was forced to decolonize after WW1. Look how much of Africa turned out after France decolonized.
The focus on decolonization is a distraction from what all people need: another Great Awakening.
Don’t forget India and Indonesia
North African Kabyle and Berbers also suffered both arab colonization followed by Turk empire colonization, but all the media repeats is the small sliver of French colonization of Algeria which was just a means to kick the Ottomans out.
It's a rhetorical flourish of people whose opening gambit is always slander.
I have always found the idea that somehow being a colony was a negative odd, since WE were a colony and yet are now the greatest nation in history.

Before Europeans invaded “colored” territory...
1. African Moors invaded Europe’s Iberian peninsula.
2. Asian Mongols invaded Eastern Europe.
3. Turkish Muslims invaded Europe’s Balkan region.

Before that, Arab muslims invaded all of North Africa, the Levant, Persia, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, & China
The U.S. Census Bureau considers people of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) descent, including Arabs, to be white. However, many people of MENA descent do not identify as white and have struggled to identify their race or ethnicity for decades. Some say that being considered white on paper but treated as "others" in real life can be a double-edged sword. Others feel that being counted as white doesn't reflect their day-to-day experiences
The Bantu were from Central Africa, originally.
