Background Infomation
Chakabers is a African moid instagram influencer with over a million followers on his instagram. He travels around taking pictures in Africa. This website describes him as spreading social justice by:
producing content on pan-Africanism, spirituality and education, millennial humor and vegan lifestyle. His content also includes his own first-hand contributions to improving the lives of under-resourced global communities.
Social justice?
This is Africa
Our story begins with Chakabers taking a trip to the great pyramids in Egypt as a way to return back to his roots of being a former kang (more on this later). But during his time there he encountered trouble. In a reply to a now deleted tweet he claims:
I cant believe this! Why would the Arabs (Egyptians) do this to this poor African man?!? Well it turns out that Chakabers during his trip to the pyramids, conveniently left out some details that would change the story. On his Instagram he posted this picture:
For those of you who are typically when going to historical sites you don't want to climb on the stuff there. I know it looks fun, but it's against the rules and the local population wont like it.
Shortly after posting the previous picture, Chakabers posts this picture to his instagram:
Here's a video in where in the first couple seconds shows what happened in the intial encounter. You can stop watching once the foid starts talking because I summarize what she’s saying in one tenth of the time. Foids lmao:
In the video Chakabers calls the Egyptian moid telling him to leave an Arab. Chakabers is also shocked that he has to leave "his ancestors temple". Chakabers goes on to purity test the man asking of he's really an African. Chakaber says to the man "Your skin doesn't look African and that it says Arabs". Typically, Egyptians don't like being called Arabs because it's considered racist or xenophobic or something like that.
Additionally Chakabers posted this picture but I wasn’t able to find context on when or where it occurred. I assume it's after the intial encounter,
But either way highlights his attitude toward mayo Egyptians (Arabs):
Some lore and the Arab question
If you haven't picked up on it, Chakabers has certain feelings toward Egyptians that many would call "problematic". Chakabers doesn't believe that Egyptians are the actual Egyptians but just mayo/arab colonizers. Chakabers unironically believes in the idea of "We wuz kangs" being reality that is suppressed by these chuds. In a tweet he posted around the same time as his trip he wrote:
Further proof is of this claim is provided in a hilarious tiktok he posted on his account. In the video, Chakabers is walking around an Egyptian museum filming the statues with the caption "No nose. We all know why" with spooky music playing the background. Implying the mayos took the noses off so kangs wouldn't realize the truth
Chakabers has also gotten into previous related incidents unrelated to this one. Some of which include: Doxxing a someli doctor that promoted the covid vaccine, "Questioning" the coof vaccine, and Islamophobic comments (yikes). So he's a bit of a controversial
Always double down no matter what
After Chakabers posted the pictures to his instagram he started picking up hate from mostly Egyptian people since they were the most affected. While most would just apologize and try to move on from an incident like this, Chakabers has a different approach. Double down and call the Egyptians racist colonizers. He tweets out:
Obviously many Egyptians wouldn't take to kindly to being called racist colonizers so slapfights breakout on who's pigment was actually that of the Pharoahs:
the “colonizers” in the question look at them, they ain’t YOU
In a lot of the tweets you'll find a lot of followers of Chakabers ideology posting boomerbook-lite "memes" making some vague connection implying that African kangs were actually the real kangs. Weirdly enough no one actually provides a source that isn't some shitty jpeg
Chakabers further goes on his tweet spree and says:
To be honest I dont really know what he's talking about or how it applies to his other arguments but GO OFF KANG. Funny enough someone then posts the picture of him hanging off the tombstone walls to counter his point about "disrespecting dead bodies".
Chakabers then shifts his position to actually not giving a shit about North Africa because they're all racist:
People in the tweet begin unironically using physiognomy to actually determine the descendants of Pharoahs:
south sudanese are of Nilotic ancestry, they weren’t the creators of ancient egypt, nor do you have anything to do with them, yet you went into an Egyptian temple and said “my ancestors” you have a severe identity crisis, i recommend taking a DNA test
Finally, Chakabers ends his argument by tweeting out a link to the Wikipedia page to the Trans-Saharan slave trade and says:
What happens next?
This story is still relatively fresh so we'll have to wait and see what happens next. Currently some Egyptians are taking this seriously and trying to get Chakabers banned from coming to Egypt:
I wont lie I hope our Egyptians kang gets banned from his homeland. The drama that will arise from that would be amazing. I'll keep you kings (kangs) updated on the situation. Until next time!

Great write up lol. I never understood why they don’t spend time obsessing over the actual sub Saharan civilizations. Mansa Munsa is literally the richest person EVER.

Boy I wonder how he made all that money, what was being exported from sub-Saharan Africa at the time?

Literally it’s pretty much all from gold. He did enslave neighboring conquered people but he didn’t sell them and that was pretty standard at the time tbh.

Salt, too. But there was a lot of slave labour involved in extracting that gold and salt so in a sense the economy was still heavily slave-based.

An actual kang unwittingly crashing the cross-continental economy from spending so much gold via the silk road is pretty dramatic

That requires a modicum of research and education and we all know who the lowest test scores belong to (Instagram influencers).

historical Timbuktu for example is just as interesting as Egypt imo . there’s just less info to sperg out about overall cause a lot of their society was destroyed when they got dunked on by frogs for like 100 years

no it fricking isn't lmao the ancient Egyptians built the most sophisticated fortifications in the world at Buhen and other upper Nile sites and weren't surpassed afaik until like the 1500's in Europe, and that's just one arbitrary field. Timbuktu is a heap of stubby mud buildings

It's easier to rewrite something the mayo monkeys taught you in school than to do your own research. Most people still don't learn much about African civilizations

I learned a great deal about the gold and salt trade in seventh grade history but I think that was just because I had a good teacher.

Because these tards hate to admit that they're extremely European-centric, and don't actually give a shit about anything new that's outside of their generic mayo mindset of consuming the same tired Western pop culture shit ad nauseam, it's identical Hollywood reusing the same ideas over and over again but with colors changed, instead of coming up with something new.

They just made that movie whitewashing the Dahomey slaver chicks. Does that count?

I guess that counts yeah. Honestly sub Saharan Africa has some of the most interesting and brutal culture and because no one really managed to form a cohesive pan African empire there’s a vast array of beliefs. Sorry for sperging.

It's because mansa musa is embarrassing as heck lmao he was the "richest person ever" because his civilization was sitting on top of a ton of free gold, not because his culture did anything cool or interesting or built/traded/expanded in any way that anyone gives a frick about. He then bankrupted himself like a moron and came back from his pilgrimage in debt. Kangs would much rather imagine themselves descended from egyptians cos that's actually exciting

I have yet to find a king more chad than Mansa Munsa. Crashing the economy every where he goes irl, and switching allegiance faster than I can breath in my Civ IV games to the point I had to force team.
He heeds no bullshit from the world; the world has to adapt to his whim. The true chad.
