My struggle with race in the Muslim community

As-salamu alaykum, everyone. I think we all know there’s a racism problem among Muslims. That’s just part of what I want to share, but it’s been really heavy on my heart as a Black Muslim-so much so that I almost walked away because the hurt was too deep. It’s painful when people who are meant to believe that Allah created us perfectly treat you like you’re less. Lately, I’ve been watching video essays about this to comfort myself and maybe to remind myself that this isn’t what Islam teaches, even if many Muslims don’t show that in my experience at least. I had a marriage prospect end because of this, and it broke me. My family was so welcoming to him, no issues at all. But his family was totally opposite, just because of my skin color. And he didn’t stand up for me-he didn’t even reply when I told him how upset I was that he gave up on us so fast. I’ve thought so many times about sending him a message to say how disrespectful and unfair it all was. But I’ve also promised myself I’d never reach out again because the pain of him letting go so easily was too much, especially for a man who can make his own choices. I know it won’t fix anything. It just feels so unjust that he’ll probably move on to some lighter-skinned sister while I’m stuck carrying this weight-one of the few things about myself I can’t change. Sometimes it’s like a physical ache. I’m just seeking validation for how I’m feeling, honestly.
