This also would have been during the Civil Rights wave in America. Where the USSR was screaming at us for daring to treat our people that way, while doing worse to black people throughout their lands.
This is just a veil for white supremacy, they assume everyone else is as evil as the US empire in order to continue justifying support for it. They made it the fuck up, because they need it to be true for their worldview to function. Disgusting.
Sorta like that whole “I’m just saying what everyone’s thinking” thing. Easier to believe everyone is just like you but repressed rather than realize you’re just a shitty person
Meanwhile the same libs will hem and haw about how somehow Gaza is complicated. They only pretend to care about racism when it benefits them, beyond that they fully support it
After the abolishment of court arabs (pretty sure that was the title) I don’t think there were that many black people in the Soviet Union, and the few that were around didn’t have crosses burned in their yard.
Google AI is uniquely useless in searching for this, “court arabs Russia” brings up nonsense about Russia discriminating against muslims, similar nonsense for ussr, and ““court arab” USSR” has it go “google AI can’t do this”
I pretty much got my question answered with the wiki page on the Arabian hall though, basically just four gaudily dressed bodyguards who pretty much were the official door openers preceding the tsar
Idk i see some people talk about “court arabs” but the wiki page for the Arabian hall and some others just refer to them as “Ethiopians” (in quotes because they weren’t lol) or “Blackamoors” and then one site i was looking at talking about Jim Hercules called them “the Abyssinian guard”
It doesn’t really matter though i was just like “what” and wanted to know what sort of role or function a “court Arab” did but the tl;dr seems to be that they opened doors for the Tsar and Tsarina

Lying fuckin libs
Reminds me of that lib from a few days ago. “Uhh sure China hasn’t killed a single Uyghur, but actually what’s happening to them is worse than death!”

Lol what? Do they think there was a russian chapter of the KKK?
“well, WE had the KKK, and WE’RE the good guys, so of course the BAD GUYS had an even worse KKK!”
They had the KKKK
Now I’m imagining a Chinese reactionary going “well, WE have the CCP, and WE’RE the good gays, so of course the BAD gays had an even worse CCCP”
It is weird to think of someone being close to right for wrong reasons
D:
Like the regular KKK but with goatees and mustaches
Levayan satanists?
The Ku Klux KlanAryaNazis
Number ONE:
That’s terror.

There were a bunch of Africans coming there to get a university degree. This is worse than segregation actually

it seems to be spelled arap, there still isnt much english info but african servants were a common thing in all the european monarchies

Try Jim Hercules, I think he had the title and I do remember that name.

I may have remembered the title wrong. But i was pretty sure. Darn
I saw other people use the phrase so idk lol
Let’s agree that the court title was an ethnicity and that it has no relation to the person holding it, that way we’re clear
