I'm talking about race.
The reason for the Sudanese genocide being anti-Black racism makes no sense to me. Sudanese Arabs look visibly Black.

Race is a social construct. In reality do some Sudanese appear to be more Black looking than Arab. Yeah, maybe 
But in reality a lot in those eastern/northern areas in Africa associate Islam with Arabs and Middle Easterners, so a lot believe themselves to be that + when you mix in phenotypes. Same mfs committing the atrocities would be treated less than dirt across the Red Sea. The Indian Ocean slave trade was/is real.

This is correct! However, history and Arab and Islam brainwashing comes into play. The vast majority of Sudanese so called arabs are indigenous African. Arabization of Sudan and the slave trade created a social hierachy. Those that were Muslim were at the top and animist or Christian blacks at the bottom. Same as Philippinos claiming to be Latinos/Spanish. I remember someone telling me a story of two black Sudanese refusing to be identified as black at London Heatrow airport security paper forms by insisting they were arabs.

They are arabized Africans, that's why.
Genetically they are predominantly African, but have varying degrees of Arab admixture, but culturally, they are Arabs.

They believe they are Arab (RSF) and are killing everyone else who doesn't.
That's what makes it a genocide. Simple as that.

Racially they are black Arabs, the original Arabs.
There is no such thing as Arabized Africans. Black African Arabs existed and lived throughout Arabia and North Africa before been displaced by the conquest of asiatic Arabs that occupy these lands now. That’s partially the reason for these conflicts. The Sudanese Arabs were former nomadic tribes that have moved into lands populated by established African populations. They’re trying to displace Sudanese people from their own land.

The Janjaweeds are mostly Abbala arabs who do have some origins in the Arabian peninsula, so they might not be indigenous in your book.
What I'm saying is that regardless of their origins, they ended up being racialized in opposition to groups like the Massalits (who have also been muslim for centuries). Them denying to be black is not brainwashing. It's an understanding of their own racial dynamics which have real consequences in their specific context.
Unless you would say that black people in the West who claim being black are brainwashed by Christianity.

Well no, they're not racially black in the sudanese context. They're only black if you see it from a western lens.

Trust the typical coli dude to not understand the world outside of the US.
Race =/= Ethnicity
Genetic affinity =/= Culture
Race =/= Culture
Arab is a Meta-Ethnicity rather than a single distinct ethnicity.
Meta-Ethnicity - A group of ethnic groups that have commonalities that are wider ("meta-") and more general (i.e., might differ on specifics) than ethnicity, but does not necessarily correspond to (and may actually transcend) nation or nationality. The commonalities are usually:
Language families/branches, e.g. Bantu, Berber, Polynesian, Nilotic, Cushytic, Germanic, etc.
Religious, e.g. Jews.
So while some Sudanese Arabs (basically Arabised Nubians and Beja people) and Baggara/Shuwa Arabs (basically Arabised Chadians and Western Sudanese) don't look that different from their Nilo-Saharan and Cushytic cousins (although many Sudanese and Baggara Arabs are very mixed), culturally, they are different, thus they are different ethnic groups.

There are multiple layers:
this is a proxy war for resources (gold, oil etc) perpetuated by UAE, Russia, Israel, Egypt
This is a pisding war between two nutcases, the janjaweed guy and Sudans HNIC
This is war amongst upper class Arabs and everyone else.
Let’s not forget the historical role of the British in this absolute clusterfukk.

Arabs are not native to Africa.
These "Arabs" once again are indigenous Africans with partial Arab ancestry (from invasion and colonization). Majority are part Nubian and/or Nilotes that have been arabized over centuries.
