  • @dogons2k12 Honestly you may hate Eurocentrism but then you rush blindly to Afrocentrism, which is the same thing only in reverse. People are just silly.

  • @dogons2k12 LOL, no they were not enslaved but seen as citizens or at the very least second class citizens of Al-Andalusia if they were not Muslim. They did not pay tribute of white women. This sounds like a weird fantasy someone made up to feel better. When the Moors made there way into France they were beaten back. And for hundreds of years they slowly lost territory to Christian European forces. The Moors did help revitalize European culture so yes we should look to them with gratitude. 

  • Vast majority of world think that there not difference between Arab and barberin but in fact there is difference Arab living in Asia and barberin living in north Africa

  • that why they call moor that mean black the neonazi said they were white arab lol lol

  • ....

  • When the Romans entered West Africa in 46 B.C., they saw Africans and called them Maures, from the Greek adjective Mauros, meaning dark or black. It is from Mauros and the Latin term Marues that the word Moor is derived. Since the inhabitants of North Africa were black, the Romans and later the Europeans called them Moors. It is no coincidence that the land inhabited by the Moors was called Mauritania and Morocco, meaning "Land of the Blacks

  • Wonderful video. I could add one example from my neck of the European woods, namely in Poland we have an old sacred icon of 'Black Madonna', which is very old and famous - it's black virgin Mary!
