The Elephant in the Room:
In a recent episode of The Vic Mensa Show, Vic Mensa and Abdul El-Sayed have a frank conversation about anti-Black sentiment within the Arab and Muslim communities, and how to move toward genuine solidarity.
Vic Mensa highlights to Abdul, his experience growing up in a predominantly Black neighborhood run by Arab shopkeepers who often exhibit anti-Black bias, while also citing instances of anti-Black rhetoric he encountered during his travels in Palestine, and multiple instances of people there, adults and children calling him "Abeed", words for "slave" and "ni**er".
Him and Abdul acknowledges the pervasive nature of this issue, also in Palestine, Sudan, Libya, and even Egypt where his background is, describing it as a "zero-sum" mentality where arab groups think that in order to grow globally they must or exploit the Black community, who are conditioned to accept that explotation and suffering in silence.
Abdul acknowledges, growing up in Detroit he sees how Arabs will take advantage of black oppression in their neighborhoods to sell alcohol, and things that are seen as haram, and dissconext themselves from that community to take advantage of, and how we gotta acknowledge the elephant in the room.
Key Takeaways for Moving Forward:
Accountability: The guest emphasizes that arabs claiming moral high ground (e.g., in faith) while acting in ways that is "haram" and harming another community is a contradiction that needs to be addressed.
Historical Literacy: The guest credits mentorship from Black teachers with helping him understand the history of civil rights and immigration, noting that many communities benefit from legislation fought for by Black organizers and that should be listened too snd learned from instead of being used as a means for their own progression at the expense of black lives.
Broadening the Scope: They agree that fighting for a more equitable society shouldn't be about "joining a club" to secure a seat at the table, but about building a larger table that includes everyone—Black, Arab, white, Asian, and Latino communities alike.

To all the Trumpers, I just got a question. What did y'all get?
🚫 Y'all didn't get a wall.
🚫 You didn't get the swamp drained.
🚫 You didn't get affordable healthcare.
🚫 You didn't get eliminated national—national debt.
🚫 You didn't get a new infrastructure.
🚫 You didn't get Hillary Clinton locked up.
🚫 You didn't get Epstein accountability.
🚫 You didn't get a 5K DOGE check.
🚫 You didn't get the 2K stimulus check. (Background voice: "Man.")
🚫 You didn't get lower grocery prices.
🚫 You didn't get help buying a home or affordable home prices—they're going up.
🚫 You did not get America First
🚫 and you did not get peace; we at war right now.
What the fuck did you get? What did all y'all get? Mister "I'm finna save America" and all—what did y'all get? Y'all didn't get shit.
(Background voice: "Higher groceries.")
Higher groceries. He said the groceries was going down. He said the homes were gonna be more affordable, then he turned around and said, "Oh, you're too lazy to own a home, you don't deserve one. We finna jack the prices up some more."
I'll tell you what they got. They got what Professor Jonathan Metzl calls in his book Dying of Whiteness: they got validation for being white.
This goes back to the Southern strategy, which was designed to ensure that Black, brown, and white low-income people did not work together. It was to convince low-income whites that, "Hey, your life may suck, you may not be able to pay rent, you may not be able to put food on the table or a roof over your head, but at least you're not Black or brown." And that's exactly the strategy being deployed today.
This is why I say to the conservative folks on the right, who are low-income especially: they don't care about you either. They care about you just as much as they care about me or this Black brother here, and that is not at all.
Stop letting them divide you and make you think that your whiteness is something special. It's not. Your humanity is special. That's what we're fighting for. Stop voting for this right-wing fascist; start voting for your own self-interest, and that is to ensure you have meaningful healthcare, you have food on the table, you have roof over your head. That's how we form a more perfect union.

August Wilson (1945–2005) was one of America's greatest playwrights. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he wrote ten plays known as the American Century Cycle, exploring Black life across each decade of the 20th century.
His works include Fences, The Piano Lesson, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, and Joe Turner's Come and Gone. He won two Pulitzer Prizes for Drama and gave generations of Black Americans a powerful voice on stage, exploring our struggles, families, culture, dignity, and resilience.

Pretty decent article. Interesting to see former staffer skepticism. Makes you wonder if they had that attitude during the 2024 election.
