Racism has taken a New Form
Walking in the street, I was called "ibrony" in Ghana and "Muzungu" in Kenya which means "white". I didn't take it seriously when I interacted with people. But then the more I traveled I realised how divided our continent is along color lines or colorism. I thought about racism in Tunisia...how someone would feel to be called "black" in a predominately lighter skinned or "White passing" society. I realized how racist and anti-black are the expressions used comfortably in Tunisian dialect of the word "black" like "kahloush", "ousif" or "abeed" meaning slave... also how imperialistically racist to call a part of the world "Black Africa", "L'Afrique Noire"? In fact, if you google 'Racism in Tunisia', you will not find many articles, research, videos or documentaries while racism is intrenched in our society ... when we still refuse to mix with black people in
