Thank you! Indigenous Africans are black. Black people lived in North Africa before colonisation of Arabs and European

We aren’t even white; we are olive skinned. But North Africans ARE from Africa.

I hate the term “Subsaharan African”. It doesn’t even make sense cause the sahelian countries are IN the sahara but they are referred to as subsahara😭

Many ancient historians describe the indigenous North Africans before all these invasions took place as Black people

We need to completely dismantle the colonial legacy and every structure it left behind… It’s time for us , the people of Africa, us Africans to start defining our own identity, our own selves, and our own land on our terms. Time to tell our history in our own voices and shape our future with our own hands…

North africans are closer to mediterraneans and arabs than bantus or subsaharans

I feel like referring to regions in african as north, central, west, east, and south is way better cuz it actually describes the region a person or country is from. Like what is sub sahara even supposed to mean? What is sub? Sub just sounds like a derogatory term

there was no clear divide. it's a gradient. if you look at the people in the middle such as tuareg peoples or sudanese people, they look like an overlap between the northern africans and the more southern peoples.

we been here, we will continue to be here. Africa comes in many shades and colors forever proud to be NORTH African.

Morocco to libya have had isolated population of non sub saharan populations. even eygptians had depiction of Libyans .even to the canary Islands. yes racism used it as a tool but didnt change its truth.

Exactly! Africans have traversed up/down/and across the Sahara! It was no barrier between skin tones. Dark and lighter Africans are found all over!

Subsahara technically should represent North of Sahara, because east and central Africa geographically sits higher than the Sahara. That's why the Nile flows down north. Sub is derogatory term to mean less than. It's a racist ideology.

And isn't "sub" supposed to be smaller? How will you get 3/4 of the continent and call it sub? And how about the countries in the Sahara, what are they?

But the problem is that I don’t like to use the “black Africa” and “white Africa”. Because even in North Africa, there are literally black population too. We should decide which term we should use to represent specific part of Africa.

Correct 💯 I am Moroccan, Amazigh from the Rif region. When I look at my family, we come in all shades, some lighter skinned some darker and we're all definitely African.
