OBAMA DOORMAN!!

We used to use the term (doorman) in Egypt to describe someone has a dark skin!
First I didn’t think it’s something against skin color and it’s just a name people gave for Nubians (dark skin) who live in north Egypt because they were almost exclusively control and have all jobs like doorman, cook, waiter and gardener for all rich people and British and all other Europeans lived in Egypt before 1952.
I was thinking while people call them that name they just meant that but I find out it’s not that what they meant.
They meant to put them down because of their jobs, and yes in Egypt your job is one important factor how people will treat you.
After 1952 the job of doorman becomes exclusively for people from Upper Egypt but they still call Nubians the doormen! Even that club in Alexandria, Egypt which most members are Nubians they call it doormen club!!
So the issue not just the job then there should be something else. The issue is their skin color that make others put them down and that exactly what called racism!
In Egypt the common view for Sudanese as extension of Nubian so for sure the same ideas apply for sundaes included seeing them silly( they don’t lie much as we do in Egypt) and flat mind (they have clear ideas not screwed like us in Egypt) and lazy (simply they don’t worship money as Egyptians).
It’s not unusual to hear people in Egypt while describe a Sudanese person without put him down use term like Sudanese BUT smart! Sudanese BUT has good heart! and for sure the most wonderful one in country like Egypt to hear that Sudanese BUT educated!!!!! Please I don’t want to talk about education in Egypt.
We in Egypt grow up with that idea put in mind we are better RACE than dark skin people whatever our blood belong to (Arab ,Turkish ,Berber –Moroccans ,etc)
Most of us just eat the idea as a loser find way to convince him/her self there are people less than them.
That explain why Egyptians are silent as Muslims about how Muslims in Africa live because they are black and not important.
That’s explaining why Egyptians feel humiliated if you call them Africans.
That’s even explain why in USA it’s very rare to see an Arab has friendship with a white American( I don’t say there is none but it’s not common) that because Arabs feel an easy dealing with white who are better but easier to deal with black who are less!!!!!!
After this it’s not surprising that Egyptians don’t respect OBAMA so much because he has dark skin! And not surprise at all to find out most Egyptians call him a DOORMAN.

For sure till I understand that point I used to say same words and use same terms so from here I APOLOGY for all dark skin if I used any word sound bad but believe me I didn’t really realize that then it’s a nation culture and for sure there are Egyptians still use it without realizing how bad it is but I believe we must face ourselves as first step for treatment

WE ARE RACISM
