Words that are translated into English as black or Negro are misleading and shouldn't be taken too seriously. The evidence shown here at least shows that racism didn't exist then the way it does today.
Next video well look at relations between Egypt and other

quoting Ibn Battuta
" From Muli (says Ibn Batutah) the river descends to Yufi (Nufi), one of the greatest kingdoms of Negroland" ...It would appear, from this, that the superiority now enjoyed by the people of Nufi in arts and industry, was already acknowledged in the fourteenth century.
quoting Ibn Khaldun
On the other side of Africa Ibn Khaldun says
http://books.google.com/books?id=380NAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA117#
Adjoining the Berber (Somalia nothing to do with Maghrib) are the Abyssinians (Ethiopians), the most numerous and powerful of the Blacks. From their country Yemen once had its kings. The king of the Abyssinians was entitled Al-Negashi, and the capital of his kingdom was the city of Kaber. The Abyssinians are Christians, but it is said that one of their kings embraced the true faith when Mohammed visited their country in the Hijra. They believe that they are destined to become masters of Yemen and all Arabia

P. 40 quote from Yaqut
The king of Zafun is stronger than the veiled people of the Maghreb and more versed in the art o kingship. The veiled people acknowledge his superiority over them, obey him and resort to him in all important matters of governmentOne year the king, on his way to the pilgrimage, came to the Maghreb to pay a visit to the commander of the Muslims, the veiled king of the Maghreb, of the tribe of Lamtuna. The Commander of the Muslims met him on foot, wheras the king of Zafun did not dismount for him.

From Ibn Sa'id
This sultan has authority there over kingdoms such as those of the Tajuwa, Kawar, and FazzanGod has assisted him and he has many descendants and armies. His clothes are brought to him from the capital of Tunish. He has scholars around him
The region where Zaghawa wander is to the east of Manan. They are for the most part Muslims owing obedience to the sultan of KanimTo the north of Manan are the terrirory of the Kanim the Akawwar wander. Their well-known towns are in the Second Clime and they are Muslims owing obedience to the sultan of Kanim

In the same latitude is Zafun, which belongs to pagan Sudan and whose ruler enjoys a good reputation among (other) kings of the Sudan
Page 99 from Ibn Khaldun
Sultan Abul-Hasan was well known for his ostentatious ways and his presumption to vie with the mightiest monarchs and adopt their customs in exchanging gifts with their peers and counterparts and dispatching emissaries to distant kings and far frontiers. In his time the king of Mali was the greatest of the kings of the Sudan and the nearest to his kingdom in the Maghrib. Mali was 100 stages distant from the southern frontiers of his realms
Link to Timbuctoo the mysterious
http://books.google.com/books?id=OYELAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA285
The scholars of Timbuctoo yielded in nothing to the saints and their miracles. During their sojourns in the foreign universities of Fez, Tunis, and Cairo, ' they astounded the most learned men of Islam by their erudition.' That these negroes were on a level with the Arabian savants is proved by the fact that they were installed as professors in Morocco and Egypt. In contrast to this we find that the Arabs were not always equal to the requirements of Sankore. '
The anthropological treatises of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach see 3rd footnote page 307

Listen to one guarantee for all, our own incomparable Niabuhr: "The principal characteristic of the negro is, especially when he is reasonably treated, honesty towards his masters and benefactors. Mohammedan merchants in Cairo, Jeddah, Surat, and other cities, are glad to buy boys of this kind; they have them taught writing and arithmetic, carry on their extensive business almost entirely through negro slaves, and send them to establish business places in foreign countries.

With due respect, blacks have always been slaves until recent history. This is not because I am racist but because it is a fact. I am not racist but IQ wise, blacks on average have the lowest IQ and it is not suprise they have been conquered by vertually every race which have invaded their lands.

@albertosol1977 Why are u pointing out the fact that "African Americans" claim the entire continent of Africa? Americans claim America, Asians claim Asia, Europeans claim Europe, and so on. When it comes to Africans, people like you are determined to divide them. Why is that? The slaves in the atlantic trade came from various parts of Africa.When started, the main source of slaves came from those that refused Islam. Prisoners of war and the Hebrews that fled to Africa were also a source.

@albertosol1977 It is a shame that most don't know history because facts have been distorted.

Most African Americans don't know their country of origin or tribe. Thus they claim a entire continent. Nor are they Egyptian Negroid type. European traders didn't travel to Egypt as source for slaves. Original Egyptian culture seized long before the Atlantic slave trade. Their ancestry is likely somewhere in the west coast of the continent as the video suggested. Some perhaps from the central countries. Slave trading within the continent itself was common prior to the New World Europeans.

@lmaginaryfriend3199 This topic heading is retarded anyway because east africans and arabs have always between mixed up throughout history, this is shown again and again e.g. land of punt was made of 3 modern day countries somalia(kingdom or 'headquarters') yemen, and eritrea. At the time of the prophet you would see when the people fled the idolators they fled to abyssinia(modern day ethiopia), because arabs look alot like east africans(eritreans etc) look up bedouin(unmixed) yemen(first arabs)

@lmaginaryfriend3199 Sorry to attack your comments like this but you seem to be speaking without any study or knowledge on these subjects? Why do you think they invaded libya even though they literally cant afford it(economy)? Look up Gaddafi and the african dinar, The african/arabian region is by far the most important region in the entire face of the planet 'today' if both those continents and sub-continents never existed the world would be different, look up the "scramble for africa"
