  • If you are using the bible to determine race then you are funny as hell. Why don't I use the RigVeda to determine whether or not I'm European lol?

  • I love that video.

    100% agree!

    Moor in spanish meant "muslim".

    About 50% of the Moors were actually Islamized Iberians , 50% other were a mix of Berbers and Arabs .

    The few black were slaves , and only represent 0.03 % of the Moorish population of Spain.

see all

  • I could post up a video of thousands of black moors in spain lol

    Its a fact that BERBERS a tribe in africa invaded spain and requested 100 white virgins every year

    get your shit straight

  • Scruffy have you been to spain

    I have

    The people Moors were obviously black.

    WHy are people so upset that black people have done so many great things.

    Your just one of the fags that try to hide the truth

  • If the moors weren't black, then why would they be called black-a-moors in the 13th century? ( And not tan-a-moors? ) And doesn't the word moor derive from the Latin maurus? And what does that mean?

  • Pure rhetoric!

  • Very interesting. A while back I wrote you pointing out why using such terms a BLACK is problematic. Basically stateing that what is considered a BLACK person differes from culture to culture. I just find it interesting because I pointed out to you the fact that across Europe Gypsies are considered black yet you told me that wasn't true.The thing is that black is a relative term. It is used to describe anyone with dark skin.

  • @kedordu Moron we evoled in Europe but spread out afterwards duh

  • @Whitevoice14

    lmaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooo how could it be fucking white u idiot . ??? yior genes morphed to white because u migrated out of a hot climate . ..to a much colder one . what an imbecile .

  • @kedordu Northern Africa in ancient times was White, we then slowly mixed with sub saharan negro slaves which formed Arab looking people/ mulattoes! These mulattoes peppered with some negroes and Whites that was left amongst the larger mullato populas invaded Spain. Thus, in paintings you see more civilized negroes holding harps ect or a chess board which came from the ancient Whites!

  • @kedordu man, i couldn't agree with you more all this nonsense about them being black or not is stupid but come on we all know they were black...

  • Moors are from North of the Sahara in North west Africa, they are definitely not sub-saharan I know that because I am one :)

    watch the following video it'll tell you who is who isn't a Moor.
