Every time we judge we are not being supportive. If we are not supportive to each other what does it matter to be Moroccan or not. Who cares then? If every time one is to talk to a fellow Moroccan is first and for most to be scrutinized, criticized and judged; who needs it?
I think the whole purpose of having a community is to support each others. Every time a Moroccan bashes down another Moroccan, it is the whole Moroccan identity that we are bashing down.
If we keep looking for something to criticize about each others we will find plenty because we are all human beings which mean not perfect beings.
When we bash down each other, it is ourselves that we are bashing down,
It is that deep sense of self that comes to the surface, most of us grow up being beaten up and told how bad and evil we are from home to school.
What if we were never bad to start with?
What if our parents, teacher and all those who told us how bad we are, were all dead wrong?
Shall we give ourselves a chance or are we going to be stuck forever in the old programming?
Who are we to be brilliant? Who are we to be bright? Who are we to be on the top of the world?
I say we are Moroccans, I say we are bright and so gifted that it scares the hell out of us,
Almost every one of us is an artist in their shy ways, we sing, we dance, we play music,
We speak Berber, Moroccan Arabic, we understand and at times speak most of the other Arabic dialects, Classical Arabic, French, Spanish, German, English, etc…. Yes, it takes a bright mind!
We cook one of the most tasteful cuisines in the world, if we did a better job in promoting it; it would probably be number 1 in the world,
Our Haute Couture throws off any other traditional clothing in the world and competes in design and elegance with the finest silky Indian outfits,
Our music is so diverse and enchanting that you get high without smoking a thing,
So stand up, wake up, and get up, Shake up extra sensitivity, drop “el hegra” at once!
