[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] Ausar You didn't hi-jack my thread. Without your critique I may never have done the research to see that I was mislead by the cheese twists the Amazigh activist fed me. I didn't want to contradict Doug about the ethnic cleansing thing but there's nothing to such a charge. Evidence, pro or con, concerning it should go in one of Doug's threads that's already out there. Yonis Despite the victim complex DougM still is a heavy hitter. I still rate him five stars. With a little less polemic and shorter paragraphs I'd buy his book. Arwa Bismillah, you and your mother will understand each other better. Her generation endured American apartheid (Jim Crow) and that took a strength most of us can't even imagine. So try to see where she's coming from. DougM I've said all I need to say to you. You think you're the only one to ever trod the path you're on. You're dead wrong. Some of us don't continue to sit n stew, instead we progress and take positive action keeping all that stuff in storage until an unknowing youngster needs to learn it for the first time. Yazid Black Americans have felt, and still feel, the weight of colour pervading every aspect of their lives and to speak in general, the darker they are the harder they feel it. Yet most rise above the dictates of colour by not constantly dwelling on it. They fight it by achieving excellence in their chosen fields of endeavor. As you say, elsewhere in the world their identity would be by religion, culture, language, etc., even profession. Black is only a colour but after being ashamed of it for so long BA's have chosen it to be their identity. Forum members And now shall we get back to this thread's subject header. Anyone having information directly pertaining to the topic, please chime in. Doug is already ahead of the game by posting info on the Abid al-Bukhari after Moulay Ismail. Thanks for doing that Doug! [b]BTW[/b] I have it that though they were disbanded they reformed on occasion. They were feared and respected because of their military prowess and administrative skills not to mention their feats of civil engineering too. Far from being pillar to post whippin' boys, these [i]'ABID[/i], "black slave" guys, for a stretch of time determined who sat Morocco's throne. Without exaggerating, there'd be no modern nation state Morocco as we know it if not for them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
