The Unseen Face of Racism: Maghrebi Discrimination Against Black People

The underreporting of Maghrebi racism against Black people is a serious issue, according to Erik Tegnér, editor of the Frontière media. In a recent video interview, Tegnér highlighted the often-overlooked discrimination and violence faced by Black individuals from Maghrebis. He stated, "The racism of Maghrebis towards Black people is a reality today, and it's a very violent one." Tegnér also discussed the impact of the colonial victimhood narrative, which he believes silences discussions about this form of racism. He provided examples from social media and YouTube, showing how Black people share their experiences of this discrimination. One particularly striking example cited was the incident in Tunisia where sub-Saharan Africans were targeted and forced to leave the country. Tegnér's firsthand experience in Tunisia adds weight to his claims. The video concludes by emphasizing the need for open dialogue and addressing this often-ignored form of racism.
