I hate playing the victim but each day, I feel being black in an Arab country is a sheer nightmare. I’m always stressed when travelling in the MENA (w/ the exception of #Turkey where we are treated more humanely). The worst experience was Lebanon. 🇹🇳 is 🇨🇦 in comparison.

Si la France est aujourd'hui le seul pays au monde qui soit présent sur cinq continents, c'est bien parce qu'elle a de manière très singulière institutionnalisé sa propre version du racisme.
«En matière de racisme, la France n'a rien à envier aux États-Unis. Son racisme est également le fruit d'une histoire d'atrocités entremêlant violences et domination, il s'inscrit tout autant dans notre quotidien et dans nos pratiques institutionnelles.» mon article pour @Slatefr.
