Why's it NSFW? I can't imagine any workplace where it's cool ok to stream and watch a standup act that goes for an hour an a half using speakers instead of headphones but at the same time not cool if there is swearing in it.

If I watched it with the right mindset, then I think Mooney's argument was that Arabs ARE Black because of slavery.

Makes sense too. Couldn't have built a civilization like that without slave labour, so he does have a point. He also makes the point that we all have black blood in us as our DNA can be traced back to a point in Africa some 25-30000 years or so. "Nobody hates like Family".

On the contrary, I don't think Mooney is insecure but rather so proud of his heritage that he takes it to the extreme (or at least what society has decided is extreme - namely, to talk about it.)

Not only that, but Cleopatra was ethnically Greek, or so I've heard from my professor.

I think what some people fail to appreciate is Paul Mooney is NOT making any claims or points about ethnic or national origin. He's making points about race, which is a social construct. Lumping all Africans together and deciding they would all be Black similar to lumping most Europeans together as white are historical. Power relations, exploitation and the need for ideological justification are why this was done. He also says that people from the Carribbean, Cubans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, are also "niggas" because they were forced into speaking someone else's language and exploited by European colonists. When he draws parallels to Jesus and Cleopatra, he's of course applying a concept that didn't really exist as it does now then. People hated each other, but it was different. Now, however, an Arab and a Greek-Egyptian are seen as Black, as being outside of "real" civilization. Racial insecurity has little to do with it. Race is a social phenomenon, which has almost nothing to do with genes and almost everything to do with power and those who write the narratives.
