I wasn't really aware of this issue, but I do know Maroc is not part of the African Union. Last I heard they were trying to rejoin. link to the vid |

Probably because most of its population are of Eurasian origin, or a mix of Eurasian & African peoples (Same thing with Algerie, Tunis, Libya, Egypt) . The indigenous people. such as the Haratin have been pushed south (as with the other aforementioned countries) . Either way, I couldn't care less. It's not like I claim these pale-skinned savages to be African either.

Well at-least some in polite circles are wrestling with the question,in the States we have multiple groups of African decedents who openly reject I.D of any sort with Africans or Africa so before you say screw-em maybe look no further than the street corner soap box in your community assuming you are living in the states. |

Brotherhood sees no color.
North Africa was colonized like the rest of Africa, I believe a million algerians died to free there country. Look at Majority of Morroccans they are still Brown, Egypt same way like the Khoisan. Some even Look like north African Khoi.
It's time Mother Africa recognizes that its for there better to stand strong as a United Continent. Not as one unified Continent, but as each country recognizing that They basically Support each other and do whats best for there people ahead of outside influence.

The desert creates a barrier that makes economic links with Europe more meaningful for countries on the Mediterranean coast. Egypt's links with the rest of Africa are only practical on account of the Nile. Geography trumps race and politics, and the racial differences are down more to religion than anything else.

There are more Africans in Africa than people of Eurasian descent, so it's not like we need them. Nor should we want them. If you want a friend, look in the mirror (as the great Tate John Henrik Clarke once said). I have absolutely no interest in unifying with a person of another race when I have more than enough people of my own race to make the changes we need to make, so that we can empower ourselves again. I'm not an integrationalist by any means. |

The desert wasn't always as big as it is now, besides, the "bastardification" of the northern parts of Africa is a relatively recent happening, it's not like these blonde, blueyed people from Morocco or Algeria have lived there for millennia. They are NEVER going to unite with the Africans which they displaced further south, and that has NOTHING to do with religion. Africans who make the Hajj to Mecca are still treated like SHIT in Saudi Arabia (as are the ACTUAL Arabs, who are black) , even though they're all supposed to be "brothers in Islam". Mankind has ALWAYS, and WILL ALWAYS be a tribal people. People do NOT like to share their generational wealth with people whom appear to be outsiders, that's just common sense & self-preservation. Thinking otherwise is extremely naïve, and it's exactly why Africans (as a group) are at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder, wherever they are on this planet. |

I'm not living in the United Snakes of America, but my disdain for Africans who reject Africa is equally strong, if not stronger than my disdain for non-African peoples. I have higher standards for people I consider to be "my own" (i.e Africans) , so those who happen to reject Africa are as useless to me as non-African people. I seriously can't stand that we have this tendency to look to other peoples for solutions to OUR problems. The inferiority complex is running strong amongst us, no doubt about that. |

Politics is one thing, the reality on the street is another. In my experience Moroccans are more firmly grounded in the reality that they are Africans than are any other group in North Africa. we may question why there is a higher degree of lighter complected people there, but one thing is clear, they are for the most part Arabized Berbers and the Berber language, still spoken all over Morocco, (not just the south), is an Africa specific language. It has no roots in either Europe or the Middle East, so they can't be explained away as European or Middle Eastern migrants. The last part of the video is so true. If you've ever been to a Moroccan party, you know they start acting really African once those drums start beating. You'd think you were in a Pentacostal or Baptist church the way they start catching the spirit. That music is too African for them to be anything else but Africans. Europeans can't get funky like that:
