الله الله في أهل الذمة ، أهل المدرة السوداء السحم الجعاد فإن لهم نسبا وصهرا

Some, like Miss Dana have been claiming recently that the Arabs of Muhammad's time were Negroid.

Assuming that the above unsourced supposedly Hadith quote is correct Prophet Muhammad is informing his people that their relatives were
black-skinned, kinky-haired people in case they didn't realize this.

Obviously they knew who their immediate relatives but Prophet Muhammad was talking about their ancient relatives who were their relatives that looked a little different, their hair was kinky not straight or curly, their skin appeared black not brown like theirs.

Were they white then? No, they were as many are today a brown skinned people neither black or white but in between.

However what does this quote really mean? The Egyptians portrayed themselves as brown skinned and the Kushites as black skinned. That's a fact.

So if Prophet Muhammad was calling medium brown skin people from North Africa black then that makes the Arabs even lighter than the Egyptians who were definitely not as dark as the Kushites who were very commonly portrayed as having much darker skin.

Obviously Abrahamic religions like Islam Christianity were a major departure from African and early Arabian religions in that their central idea
was that there was one and only one God and no other deities.

^ LOL @ your faulty and ridiculous reasoning. Sorry but the Egyptians' 'brown' complexion was that of a dark chocolate brown i.e. BLACK! By your reasoning most blacks in Africa including those in West and South Africa with such complexions would be "brown" also! LMAO

Also, while I may not agree with everything Dana says and whether or not Muhammad and his tribe were black, it is clear that black peoples were a component among Arabia's early population. And why not? Most of Arabia is in the tropics and it is right next to Africa.

Let's see you how you 'reason' everything I just stated above!

it sounds reasonable
When discussing Prophet Muhammad we are talking about 6-7th century A.D.

D.J is right while I don't believe all arabs were black, I believe her and Alwaadberry have a point that the Southern Arabs of the 6th century were black, as it makes no sense that black populations that live a hop and skip away like the Sabans and Ethiopians, and Eritreans were black.

Now I don't dismiss their ideas like I used too but I need to see more evidence. I am curently researching Early Islamic Fresoes, art, Architecture etc.

However Lyin'ass is simply taking Alwaad out of context, he is saying that the Arabs(Ishmaelites) are Relatives of Egyptians by Hagar and thus both were black "Kinky" haired populations.

Why does Lyingass Lie so much???

alot of info is took out of context. this is y the topic of arabism will not go forward. If teh modern arabs dont understand it to swift what makes u think a non-arab will, especially if the person has no knowledge of ancient arabic and it's culture. as u see the plot of he colonizing powers to write the history of the lands they controlled and it still exist till this day. lioness has done what many on this forum has done and that is use logic over textual evidence and confirming statements from scholars about the text.
 
Posted by Djehuti (Member # 6698) on :
 
^ Actually Lioness's problem is that she attempts to use logic, but fails miserably. Her assertions are nothing more than based on wishful thinking and when evidence is presented she tries to find someway around it but to no avail. It is what Diop and others call performing intellectual acrobatics when one need only apply occam's razor and cutting away all the b.s. and accepting simple and straight forward answers.

This is why lyingass now clings to "brown" skinned Egyptians.

Yeah, here go your "brown" colored Egyptians right here:

this painting may be authentic but it's highly unusual, wouldn't you agree?

^ No I don't agree, because you're WRONG as usual. There is nothing "unusual" about it. It is typical ancient Egyptian art and is in fact very conventional unlike that mustached man bust you are so proud to claim as the epitome of Egyptian artwork! What an idiotic ignoramus you are!

The Arabs themselves divide themselves into Qahtani Arabs of the south and Adnani Arabs of the north and acknowledge that the black Qahtani were the oldest of the Arab peoples, but that the Adnani mixed with many of them as they moved further south.

We are talking about Prophet Muhammad and what was predominant type of people in Mecca at the time. You are speaking of Adani here, of the North

According to Islamic tradition, the Islamic prophet Muhammad was descended from Adnan. The genealogy from Adnan to Muhammad comprises generations, and is considered certain. The following is the list of chiefs who are said to have ruled the Hejaz and to have been the patrilineal ancestors of Muhammad.

* 122 BC – Adnan (عدنان)
* 89 BC – Ma'add (معد)
* 56 BC – Nizar (نزار)
* 23 BC – Mudar (مضر)
* 10 AD – Elias (إلياس)
* 43 AD – Mudrikah (مدركة)
* 76 AD – Khuzaimah (خزيمة)
* 109 AD – Kinanah (كنانة)
* 142 AD – al-Nadr (النضر)
* 175 AD – Malik (مالك)
* 208 AD – Fihr (فهر)
* 241 AD – Ghalib (غالب)
* 274 AD – Luwaiy (لؤي)
* 307 AD – Ka'ab (كعب)
* 340 AD – Murrah (مرة)
* 373 AD – Kilab (كلاب)
* 406 AD – Qusai (قصي)
* 439 AD – Abd Manaf (عبد مناف)
* 472 AD – Hashim (هاشم)
* 505 AD – Abd al-Muttalib (عبد المطلب)
* 538 AD – Abd Allah (عبد الله)
* 570 AD – Muhammad (محمد)

Even the Arab man above despite his light complexion displays hints of black ancestry, which is not surprising. The Arabs themselves divide themselves into Qahtani Arabs of the south and Adnani Arabs of the north and acknowledge that the black Qahtani were the oldest of the Arab peoples, but that the Adnani mixed with many of them as they moved further south. The Bible even identifies black peoples just to the south of them in northern Arabia.

Jari, I suggest your read the book The curse of Ham: Race and Slavery in Early Judaism, Christianity, and Islam by David M. Goldenberg and Sons of Ishmael:
Muslims through European eyes in the Middle Ages
by John Victor Tolan. You might also want to read The Book of Jasher which is an apocryphal Jewish book that documents the ethnology of the Middle East and Africa.

Okay. I never said anything to the contrary. My only point was that blacks are still aboriginal to the Arabian lands. Also, it's interesting that you bring up patrilineage since the Qahtani were very different culturally especially in those regards of lineage. The Qahtani were traditionally matrilineal tracing descent from the mother. There were also many other customs of the Qahtani that are evidence of matriarchal or rather matrix type culture. This was very different from the Adnani patriarchy. Even the names of many tribes and clans in southern Arabia are feminine. And of course there are the various legends of Arabian sovereign queens who ruled on their own without men.

Yes - Lyin_ss - the Kana'anites are descendants of Adnan now do you get it. Or are you just trollin around again.

And your chronology is way off since Adnan in the tradition claim to know something of is the brother of Dahakk. and Ma'ad according to Arab tradition lived at the time of Jeremiah.

Early Arabians figures in the genealogy refer mostly refer to tribes and not individuals. Abd Manaf was an individual but Kinanah, Elias,etc. are the same people mentioned in the Old Testament. I'm sorry you got so confused but Kana'an lived many centuries before Christ. [Roll Eyes]

When you find a single North Arabian tribe described other than black around the time of Muhammed (pbuh), feel free to let me know. The term used for fair skinned people at that time was red and such people according to the reds were "rare" in Hijaz.
Tariq has already put up the quotes of the blackness of Abd Manaf and their descendants. And if you don't believe that the Kana'aniyya or Banu Kana'an were black and are still living in Israel, south and Central Arabia that is not problem.

You keep bringing up the same thing when I already showed you Tabari claimed Nizar was the full blooded brother of Quda'a, Hayda, Junayda and other Mahra and Dawasir tribes who are still living between the Horn and Central Arabia.

I don't know why I keep responding to your trolling either. Next time you put a picture of a red complexioned man up as an Arab let us all know which tribe he belongs to. So I can bring up the near black members of the same tribe.

Africans and Eurasians are two different people... Africans and Iranians are two different people... Africans and Iranians are two different people... Africans and Syrians are two different people... Africans and Syrians are two different people... Arabs today are just a nationality... Arabs were once Arabians not a nationality...etc. etc.,and so on and so on Africans give it an hour I'm sure it will sink in. [Razz]

Why don't you check it yourself lyin' instead of posting parts of peoples responses and projecting themselves like sneaky Lyin'_sses do.

And don't change the subject - just prove the statement you copied from Tariq doesn't exist.

Why did you take what I said completely out of context and add to it and make your own deductions and then say that I said it? Why did you do that? Do you really not understand what I said or are you intentionally changing my words? Why??? Here is what I said:

http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=003425;p=2

And how does the Prophet Mohamed (pbuh) saying that the black-skinned, kinky-haired people of Egypt are the relatives of the Arabs mean that the Arabs aren't black-skinned and kinky-haired? If he hadn't mentioned black-skinned kinky-haired, you would have all of the different types of Egyptians claiming that he meant them, right? It seems to me he was only making it clear which Egyptians he was talking about - the original Egyptians - who were dark-skinned and kinky-haired. Remember that at that time there were other peoples in Egypt like the Romans, Greeks, and Persians. Don't you know this? Please don't take my words out of context and add to them and subtract from them.

Asking Lyin' _ss to have some integrity is like asking people on this forum to stop calling white people albinoes.

Not going to happen - Tariq. This is what trollers do. [Wink]

I tried, for some reason it's hard to find.

"Fear Allah - Fear Allah concerning the black-skinned, kinky-haired People of the Black Soil (People of Kemet) who are under your protection! Verily they are your relatives."

If you look at the above where he opens with "concerning the black-skinned, kinky-haired People"

If he was addressing his people and they themselves were "black-skinned" and "kinky-haired"

he wouldn't have said to them:

"concerning the black-skinned, kinky-haired People"


because if he and they were all black-skinned, kinky-haired People that would be a given.
Do you see what this comment reveals? It proves they were not black-skinned, kinky-haired People.

The people who had black skin and kinky were much earlier ancestors.
But the Egyptian didn't even have "black" skin like you see in the Egyptian art how they portrayed the Kushites. They had reddish brown skin.

Apparently you have no interest in finding this alleged hadith. I can see why

Serpentine one - your snake like zzzzzzzzz ways prohibit me from responding to you at a level to which you can rise.

Sorry - until you answer the question Tariq asked of you nicely - "Why did you take what I said completely out of context and add to it and make your own deductions and then say that I said it? Why did you do that? Do you really not understand what I said or are you intentionally changing my words? Why??? ..."
you can not seriously expect me to lower myself to answer you.

I obviously can't respond to what no one said. [Big Grin] Further more you obviously haven't looked at Tariq's site to see what is meant by black skinned in the language of the black men of Arabia.

Besides - you project your self and your intellectual laxity and laziness onto me again. Just like a Lyin'-snake. [Roll Eyes] [/QB]

I don't know what color you are, but let's just assume that you are of color with kinky hair. If I say to you, when you go to Egypt, be good to the dark-skinned kinky-haired because they are your people. Does that mean that you aren't dark-skinned and kinky-haired?

It seems to me he was only making it clear which Egyptians he was talking about - the original Egyptians - who were dark-skinned and kinky-haired. Remember that at that time there were other peoples in Egypt like the Romans, Greeks, and Persians. Don't you know this? Please don't take my words out of context and add to them and subtract from them.

to you and dana, sorry I didn't notice your comment in this thread until dana pointed it out

Should I proceed when you have not attributed what hadith you claim that is from and blindly accept it and the accuracy of the translation like dana?

O.K. I'll do it anyway. I don't think you are acknowledging the basic logic of the quotation.

"Fear Allah "Fear Allah - Fear Allah concerning the black-skinned, kinky-haired People of the Black Soil (People of Kemet) who are under your protection! Verily they are your relatives."
First we have to take note "people of Kemet" seem to be an interpretation. Anyway...


If you look at the above statement where he opens with "concerning the black-skinned, kinky-haired People"

If he was addressing his people and they themselves were "black-skinned" and "kinky-haired"

he wouldn't have said to them:

"concerning the black-skinned, kinky-haired People"


because if he and they were all black-skinned, kinky-haired People that would be a given.
Do you see what this comment reveals? It proves they were not black-skinned, kinky-haired People.

Asking Lyin' _ss to have some integrity is like asking people on this forum to stop calling white people albinoes.

Not going to happen - Tariq. This is what trollers do. [Wink]

She will just twist your words like a low and sneaky snake. In fact that is what I am going to call her from now on Her Snakiness.

Certainly suits her better than Lioness. [Smile]

This is unbelievable Dana. [Smile]

AGAIN:

I don't know what color you are, but let's just assume that you are of color with kinky hair. If I say to you, when you go to Egypt, be good to the dark-skinned kinky-haired because they are your people. Does that mean that you aren't dark-skinned and kinky-haired?

Concerning People of Kemet, the hadith says أهل المدرة السوداء which means the people of the black soil. kemet [𓆎𓅓𓏏𓊖] (Coptic: kīmi), the "black land", a reference to the fertile black soil deposited by the Nile River.

It says "People of the Black Soil" in capital letters. This means that the People of the Black Soil
not people of the soil as in some of.
However, I must say the context is not entirely clear either way.

I cannot proceed further until you give the source.
That would be easy enough. It seem suspicious like you are hiding it for some reason.

Some of the other people who are currently talking about Prophet Muhammad was black (an quoting you) say that Muhammad and Mecca were black and that the whites came in only about a hundred years with the first Caliph
Abu Bakr. They go on to claim therefore the hadiths are all false anyway because it was white people writing them.
I don't know if this is your opinion. If you or dana are of the opinion that Islam was good until whites took it over then you would need give the point at which this occurred, who was the first "white" caliph?. Maybe you are of the opinion that it wasn't till much later until the Ottomans.
But artwork prior to the Ottoman seems to contradict that.


I'm of the opinion that many Arabs in the peninsula are neither black or white but a natural transition between the two so called "races".

The people who had black skin and kinky were much earlier ancestors.
But the Egyptian didn't even have "black" skin like you see in the Egyptian art how they portrayed the Kushites. They had reddish brown skin.

Apparently you have no interest in finding this alleged hadith. I can see why [/QB]

Are you saying that it's a weak hadith? Or are you saying that I just made it up and it doesn't exist? What are you saying?

Your snakiness - You have not heard me say anything about Islam being either good or bad among blacks or whites. Don't project your agendas onto me. That is called LYIN'!

"Natural transition" - snaky, that's the difference between you and me and Tariq.

You offer opinions on everything we offer factual history aside from knowing something about the ancient Arabian populations which you evidently no nothing about.

That "natural transition" is in what others on this forum have called your "mulatto dreams". (And no offense against mulattos as I descend from MANY OF THEM!) [Smile]
Gosh I didin't know snakes had dreams. [Confused]

I don't get what you are saying about people of the black soil being in capital letters. Do you realize that the hadith is in Arabic and there are no capital letters in Arabic? I translated it and I put the capital letters. You can make them small letters if you want. The source of the hadith cannot be found. But it's there. If you are saying that it's a weak hadith, I would like to know your proof. The hadith is mentioned regularly in Arabic. If you have knowledge of it being a weak hadith, tell me about it.

If you don't trust/believe me, simply show the hadith to someone who speaks Arabic and ask him/her to honestly tell you what it means and to not guess and to ask about the words that he/she doesn't understand before he/she gives you the translation because surely your average Arabic speaker would not understand some of the words in the hadith. Also ask the person to look and see if it is actually a hadith or did I make it up.

Apparently the stupid snake, does not know that 'black land' is a reference to fertile land. It could mean either Egypt OR the southern Arabia. Either way, it states the presence of blacks there. And either way Arab traditions hold BOTH to be ancestors of all Adnani Arabs!-- All Arab traditions agree that the Qahtani or southern Arabs were the original and ancestral culture. But then you have the Ishmaeli legend that states that those northern Arabs who trace their ancestry to Ishmael must remember that Ishmael was the son of Ibrahim/Abraham and Hajara/Hagar an ancient (black) Egyptian woman! Therefore, there is no denying the black ancestry of the Arabian peoples even those of north Arabia who are lighter in color!

Lioness, if you don't find it in the English translation, don't blame me. Blame the translators. I told you where you can find it in Arabic. It's on the first page of volume 1 of Sirat Ibn Hisham. Sooner or later you will come to realize that what I'm trying to translate for you into English will probably never be translated by anyone else. I don't mean to sound vain or cocky, but it's just the reality. Not many people are willing to translate these things for you.

That's because they made it an "abridged version" and as usual probably made sure it wasn't in the English copy. That's typical Tariq, and not surprising.

If I were you I would post the exact name and edition, publisher, translator of the book you have quoted from so that nobody (like snakey here) can come back and say that you made an unfactual statement.

And then people wonder why people like Mike don't trust modern Arabized people!

They are first and foremost not going to translate anything which has Mohammed (pbuh)calling his people black - that's for sure. Everyone had better know that.

They'd first translate and have some one believe the writing that some Arabized leader once said that anyone who calls Muhammed (pbuh) black is to be killed.

As the earliest monument of Arabian prose literature, the Sirat Rasul Allah remains a work of the first importance.

Ibn Ishaq was the earliest, and probably the most thorough, of Islam's historians. He never claimed that everything he heard was the perfect, absolute fact; rather, he very frankly writes "so-and-so said this, but so-and-so said that." Most of the discrepancies he cites are minor, and the vast majority of the incidents he cites are surprisingly consistent with what other Muslim historians say.

THE LIFE OF MUHAMMAD

translation of the hadith:
SIRAT RASUL ALLAH
A. Guillaume


(below: first page of text after introduction and titles this edition
= page 3)


MUHAMMAD'S PURE DESCENT FROM ADAM

5. (excerpt):

"Malik al-Ansari, also called al-Sulami, told him that the apostle of God said: 'When you conquer Egypt treat it's people well, for they can claim our protection and kinship.' I asked al-Zuhri what the apostle meant by making them our kin and he replied that Hagar, the mother of Ismail, was of their stock "

Lahia in the authority of 'Umar client of Ghufra told me that the apostle said 'Show piety in dealing with the protected peoples those of the settled lands, the black the crinkly haired, for they have a noble ancestor and marriage ties (with us)' The said 'Umar explained by ancestry the prophet referred to the fact that the prophet Ishmail's mother came from them, and the marriage tie was contracted when the apostle took one of them as his concubine.
Ibn Lahia said: Ishmail's mother Hagar,the mother of the Arabs, came from a town in Egypt facing Farama; and Ibrahim's mother Maria, the prophet's concubine whom Muqauqis gave him, came from Hafn in the province of Ansina.

-the Prophet is telling his command to treat the Egyptians well when conquering them because they had taken female sex slaves and had babies with them so they were ,in part, of the same "stock"

Ishaq gives "A Summary of Muhammad's raids and expeditions" (p. 659) recounting that Muhammad personally led 27 raids and actually fought in nine (9) engagements: Badr; Uhud, al-Kandaq; Qurayza; al-Mustaliq; Khubar; the occupation; Hunayn and al-Ta-if.. (p. 660).

In addition to its strategic location, Egypt was desired by the Muslim Arabs for its richness and prosperity. In his attempts to convince Umar, Amr was quoted saying:

O Commander of the Faithful, permit me to march on Egypt. It will be a source of strength and sustenance for the Muslims. It is the richest of lands on earth [8].

`Umar ibn al-Khattāb, c. 586-590 CE – 7 November 644), also known as Omar, Umar the Great or Farooq the Great was the most powerful of the four Rashidun Caliphs and one of the most powerful and influential Muslim rulers. He was a sahabi (companion) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He succeeded Caliph Abu Bakr (632–634) as the second Caliph of Rashidun Caliphate on 23 August 634

Umar was not in favor of a wholesale invasion of Egypt and instead preferred the same strategy of raids and plundering employed at the northern borders, aimed at diminishing the morale and resources of the Byzantines in Egypt. thus preemptively preventing any incursion against Palestine and the Levant. Amr persisted, however, and ultimately, Umar gave way and decided to put the matter to the Majlis al Shura at Madinah.In Madinah, the views and suggestions of the members of the Majlis al Shura were mixed. While few supported the invasion, others perceived it as a risk for the Caliphate's army. Many were of the view that Amr was angling for the throne and wanted to invade Egypt only to take a position of power in the territory. Uthman, who would become the third Caliph, was most prominent among those who opposed the invasion of Egypt. Nevertheless, the Majlis al Shura finally gave the decision in favor of invading of Egypt. Caliph Umar, though still reluctant to expand his empire, wrote Amr to order him to march on Egypt.

Why did you take what I said completely out of context and add to it and make your own deductions and then say that I said it? Why did you do that? Do you really not understand what I said or are you intentionally changing my words? Why??? Here is what I said:

http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=003425;p=2

And how does the Prophet Mohamed (pbuh) saying that the black-skinned, kinky-haired people of Egypt are the relatives of the Arabs mean that the Arabs aren't black-skinned and kinky-haired? If he hadn't mentioned black-skinned kinky-haired, you would have all of the different types of Egyptians claiming that he meant them, right? It seems to me he was only making it clear which Egyptians he was talking about - the original Egyptians - who were dark-skinned and kinky-haired. Remember that at that time there were other peoples in Egypt like the Romans, Greeks, and Persians. Don't you know this? Please don't take my words out of context and add to them and subtract from them.

to you and dana, sorry I didn't notice your comment in this thread until dana pointed it out

Should I proceed when you have not attributed what hadith you claim that is from and blindly accept it and the accuracy of the translation like dana?

O.K. I'll do it anyway. I don't think you are acknowledging the basic logic of the quotation.

"Fear Allah "Fear Allah - Fear Allah concerning the black-skinned, kinky-haired People of the Black Soil (People of Kemet) who are under your protection! Verily they are your relatives."
First we have to take note "people of Kemet" seem to be an interpretation. Anyway...


If you look at the above statement where he opens with "concerning the black-skinned, kinky-haired People"

If he was addressing his people and they themselves were "black-skinned" and "kinky-haired"

he wouldn't have said to them:

"concerning the black-skinned, kinky-haired People"


because if he and they were all black-skinned, kinky-haired People that would be a given.
Do you see what this comment reveals? It proves they were not black-skinned, kinky-haired People.

And why are you putting People with black-skinned kinky-haired instead of keeping it with of the Black Soil? Can't you see that People is capitalized with of the Black Soil? It's People of the Black Soil. أهل المدرة السوداء


You said:

"because if he and they were all black-skinned, kinky-haired People that would be a given."

What would be a given?

I'm finished discussing this with you.

Do you know what being from a "noble" tribe meant in the Arab world of Muhammeds time Snaky. It meant being pure and also being black. Hence the terms Sa'idi for noble and blackness.

And by the way the name Al Sulami means of the tribe of Sulamiyyah or Sulaym -

Of the Sulaym its been said more than once: “…ALL THE PEOPLES SETTLED in the Harra besides the Banu Sulaym are black. These tribes take slaves from among the Eshban to mind their flocks and for irrigation work, manual labor, and domestic service, and their wives from among the Byzantines...” Al Jahiz of Iraq born 776 A.D. on the tribes of the region of Northwestern Arabia found in Al-Fakhar al-Sudan min al-Abyadh.

Of the Salim of the Khazraj to whom Malik and Anas bin Malik of the Ansar apparently belonged. There people are still near black and are usually described as tall black and huge.

How many times does one have to tell you how the Khazraj were described.

If I was Chinese I wouldn't address a crowd of Chinese people "in regard to yellowish people with black hair".

If I was George Bush addressing his followers I wouldn't say "concerning white people with straight hair"

That would be obvious. He looks like that, the people he's addressing look like that.

But the Arabians he was addressing didn't look black skinned with kinky hair so he had to point out to them that the people that did look like that were related to them because these light skinned Arabs with straight hair had relations with black African concubines (female sex slaves)so they had some mulatto thing going . They should keep this in mind and not be too harsh when taking over the land for it's riches

The Sirat Rasul Allah records many references to black slaves and black mercenaries if they were black themselves they would be saying "slaves" and "mercenaries" not indicating something different

Only in your mulatto nightmares - Snaky. The Arabians of that region were black and near black with kinky hair just like the 13th century Syrian Dhahabi said and fair skin was "rare" in the Hijaz where Mecca and Medina and the Ansar lived. Only their conubines and slaves were fair in that day. [Big Grin] [Razz] Tariq's not talking to you anymore so go to sleep. [Cool]

many Sinaitic and Jordanian Arabs come a little closer in appearance to the blacks or akhdar (green) people of early islamic Medina and Mecca. Incidently one hadith apparently describes the Prophet as a green man as should be expected.

Byzantines don't come from Africa and most of the black slaves they had in that time were other Arabians, like the Eshban servants of the Banu Sulaym and ALL OF THE OTHER BLACK TRIBES OF THE HARRA.

your using contemporary definitions for blacks. These above could have been blacks to some ancient peoples. Look at the Egyptians they aint even black. They reddish brown. They use black for painting the Kushites.

True - reddish brown like the color of the Arabs I posted and the color of millions of sub-Saharan Africans and blacks outside of Africa such as myself were blacks to the Arabs, Syrians and Iranians and Europeans.

I'm sorry that you don't consider us black, and that in some parts of Africa I am called white or red, but that doesn't change what the ancient Arabs and Egyptians were and where they originated or more importantly what they were not.

Have'nt you ever thought that Muhammed said this because there were "Non Egyptians" In Egypt who ruled and that the real Egyptians were the Kinky haired and black residents. When the Muslims attacked Egypt it was the Greeks who were ruling at the Time that fought and defended against the Muslims, normal Egyptians unless they were threatened by the removal of Greek powers did not fight the Muslims.

In essence Muhammed could be saying, in Regards to Egypt.."Remember the Kinky Haired black Egyptians are your Kin" I.E not the Greek and Mixed Egyptians who controlled the Delta and Alexandria and the Richer cities...I.E don't harm them(The Black Kinky Haired..YOUR KIN).

For instance if a bunch of Africans took over Europe for 300 plus years and subjugated the Native whites and then a White Powerful Army from America decideds to Invade Europe, would it not make sense if the LEader of the resistance said.."Remember the Blond, Fair skinned Europeans are you Kin, so treat them well and don't harm them"..to folks who have not been to Europe in 300 Plus yrs, who don't really know who to attack..So Muhammed could be saying "Don't Go on a Killing Spree, Remember the Blacks with Kinky hair are your Kin"...

You are obviously taking things out of proportion...which is so typical of you.

Dana,

Show her the description of the Prophet Mohamed's (pbuh) first cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib and his uncle Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas and then maybe she'll understand things better. And tell her to read this:

http://savethetruearabs.blogspot.com/2009/08/true-description-of-prophet-mohameds_26.html

And this:

http://savethetruearabs.blogspot.com/2010/05/mohamed-al-nafs-al-zakia-pure-blooded.html

And tell her to read here how the Arabs of the past described the Arabs and ask her if she knows more about what the Arabs of the past looked like than the Arabs of the past themselves. If she says yes, ask her where she got her knowledge from:

or could not be


It seems like it could be either one. Unless you go to the hadith and see all the other associations where blacks are described.
It becomes obvious that the perspective is of a people who were not the blacks.
Also notice how the note is referring to the actual hadith where they were describing the conquering of Egypt. Oh how they loved the Egyptians. (and their booty)

Look at this on Amazon:

And this:

http://savethetruearabs.blogspot.com/2010/05/mohamed-al-nafs-al-zakia-pure-blooded.html

And tell her to read here how the Arabs of the past described the Arabs and ask her if she knows more about what the Arabs of the past looked like than the Arabs of the past themselves. If she says yes, ask her where she got her knowledge from:

http://www.savethetruearabs.com/gpage1.html

Tariq - she probably has already read this.

I have already posted this as well - "The grandfather of the prophet Mohammed, himself, named Abd al Mutallib, son of Hashim, was the son of a Khazraj woman from Yathrib. And, it has been often quoted from Jahiz that “The sons of Muttalib were massive in stature and black”.

I think she is just an African who has a deep seated hatred of lighter skinned or brown Africans and also likes to make a distinction between Muslims and Christians. There is a definite distinction in Africa in some countries between dark brown and black peoples as in Sudan and other parts of the Sahel. This has been aggravated by politics in the west over the problems in Sudan.

There are certain Africans on this forum that have a deep seated but baseless fear and want to make sure that modern Arabs are never linked to ancient civilization in Africa. They think people like us are saying some mulatto people and Irano-Turkic culture came into Africa looking and speaking like modern aristocratic gulf and Saudi Arabs in pre-islamic and early Islamic times.

Anyway i think if she wanted to go to your site and wanted to learn about the fact that most Arabians were basically indistinguishable from Africans until a very late period she would have done it.

I have posted your sites many times and still get the same ridiculous responses from people talking about the Arabs did this and the Arabs did that or borrowed from the Africans who were somehow different - as if they were blocking out what they are reading.
What they are missing is the fact that Arabia was still culturally and biologically African in the time of the Prophet (pbuh) - like Diop said - a Negro colony of black and brown people. They fail to understand the people in East Africa and Nubia especially were the exact same people as groups in Arabia. Even the names were the same.

I have posted what you have documented about bout Sa'ad ibn Waqqas - I have said, "A member of the Banu Zuhra in Arabia named Saad ibn Waqqas is called very dark, “tall” and “flat-nosed” by El Dhahabi, of Syria. While Jahiz of Iraq (9th.c.) calls him black-skinned and huge." Maybe i didn't say he was Muhammed's Uncle.

I have posted the documented descriptions of all the tribes Muhammed (pubh) had come from the Banu Kenanah, Atikah, Sulaym, Hudhayl, Khazraj, Jumah, etc. I have listed the descriptions of all of the known tribes of Arabians north to south and I'm suspecting that some people on this forum still don't want to hear that these same people are the ones that conquered Spain and North Africa, Iraq and Syria, Iran and Turkey - all because they can't get out of their minds that we are not talking about teh people that most often appear on al Jazair every day.

Its too bad we've all been so brainwashed. But I guess that is the lot or fate of people that took so many slaves from other countries not to have their own ancestors recognized. It's too bad, but there is certainly as much proof or more that early Islamic Arabians were once black than Egypt was.

Great paintings and posts Jari but the Lyin- snake just the like the average Euronut, I believe, is very much already aware of the fact that Kushites were often represented as copper brown in color just like the other Africans in Egypt. She is just draining everyones energy and time, and has been living in Sweden too long. That is where she had in her profile if I'm remembering correctly. Maybe she's not even African - I don't know.

Your two quotes of mine are strawman and expose the depths of deception and desperation you operate in.(Don't you get I know how you operate). First off I never said the Egyptians painted themselves only a certain way, you did. Second I never said the Egyptians never painted themselves black so your quotes have no bearing on this discussion and are therefore dismissed as strawman, unless you can provide where I claimed the Egyptians did not paint themselves black and only reserved that for the Kushites...Please Post.

sometimes but usually they indicate a difference.

This makes no sense if the Egyptians REALLY wanted to show all the Kushites are Black why Paint them in scenes such as this..

 -

or Especially

 -

So in essence the Egyptians are saying We look like some of Our Enemies we are raiding in our propaganda war art, we look like our subjected tribute bearers. Using the principal of embarassment the said dipictions would be accurate as why would people depict themselves as looking like some of their enemies being humiliated in War propaganda..LOL.

Your quote is dismissed, sorry honey.

For instance if a bunch of Africans took over Europe for 300 plus years and subjugated the Native whites and then a White Powerful Army from America decideds to Invade Europe, would it not make sense if the LEader of the resistance said.."Remember the Blond, Fair skinned Europeans are you Kin, so treat them well and don't harm them"..to folks who have not been to Europe in 300 Plus yrs, who don't really know who to attack..So Muhammed could be saying "Don't Go on a Killing Spree, Remember the Blacks with Kinky hair are your Kin"...

You are obviously taking things out of proportion...which is so typical of you.

could be

or could not be


It seems like it could be either one. Unless you go to the hadith and see all the other associations where blacks are described.
It becomes obvious that the perspective is of a people who were not the blacks.
Also notice how the note is referring to the actual hadith where they were describing the conquering of Egypt. Oh how they loved the Egyptians. (and their booty)

Look at this on Amazon:

you will also notice, if you look up Bilal how he was traded for a "stronger" black who was a called "heathen", But Bilal was the one who was freed because he converted to masa's religion

Ibn Hisham of Basra wrote a "rescension" of Ibn Ishaq's writings. So if there are truly derogatory things said about blacks than we know why.

And why Rumi the poet wrote not long afterward to the Abbasids in the same period and Muhammed's family the Sayyids:

Saying - "You insulted them BECAUSE OF THEIR BLACKNESS while there are still PURE BLACK SKINNED ARABS. However you are blue (eyed) the RUm Byzantines having embellished you with their color."

Ture Arab historians already know about the racism of the Abbasid period - Snaky by people of of part Arab blood. Maybe you should buy the book Black Arabia by Wesley Muhammed for more detailed info.

Nice try though.

Funny because the banu Ajlan are also of the Dawasir "the tallest and blackest of the Arabs". The original Dawasir belonged to the Azd (described as "jet black and "akhdar") depending on the time period.

But since ibn Hisham of Basra wrote this work he probably didn't know what the Dawasir looked like - either that or the Dawasir didn't like long flowing hair. [Wink]

Look at how the Kushites are done, they often have hoop earrings and leopard skins. They often have a wide sash or belt going across their chests often tying around the waist, supposedly a leather item. The are portrayed with bigger lips and wider noses than the Egyptians. (alarm bells going off-something she said is wrong...)
But you know damn well it's right. They have black skin the Egyptians have the reddish brown.
Hey but wait a minute I found a picture with Kushites and some of them are black but others are that Egyptian reddish brown color .
The reason they do this is because they are trying to differentiate the women.
So look at this:
A male Kushite is painted black
But the females are painted how you would paint a male reddish brown Egyptian male.

Now look at the relativity:
what are they going to paint the Egyptian females
since the males are already that reddish color?

You already know, it's that high yellowish brown color you see.

Now it all makes sense. It's relative

Exceptions?
Yes you might find some but exception don't disprove a broader trend.

If you want to go on go on.

Actually I think it'd be better if you jumped out of your nightmare or coma. The fact that early Arabs used black slaves including themselves and captured and loved white slaves even more (according to Syrians and other non-Arabs) doesn't change what pure Arabs originally looked like and who they were related to.


The man Abu Dhar a Ghafiri(of the Himyarites) that insulted about Bilal was also described as a " black-skinned" himself in arab writings like el Dhahabi's 14th century. And Bilal was only insulted because his mother was from Africa and a non-Arab. Bilal's father was an Arab.

Bernard Lewis said it best. "The slave population of the Islamic world was recruited from many lands. In the earliest days, slaves came principally from the newly conquered countries -- from the Fertile Crescent and Egypt, from Iran and North Africa, from Central Asia, India, and Spain... by conversion and manumission they were rapidly absorbed into the general population.”

Just what al Dhahabi said "This is the meaning of the saying, ‘…a red man as if he is one of the slaves’. The speaker meant that his color is like that of the slaves who were captured from the Christians of Syria, Rome and Persia.” From Al Dhahabi of Damascus Syria, in Seyar al Nubala’a.

I take it these the female slaves you are talking about. in the 19th and 20th centuries - “the female white slave is kept solely for the master’s sensual gratification and is sold when he is tired of her, and so she passes from master to master a very wreck of womanhood.”

Sorry but Zanj and black African women were'nt exactly favored by Arabized Middle Easterners who were the major players in the white slave and then black slave trade.

I haven't seen you offer some proof that black slaves in the time Mohammed were the dominant slaves and concubines of Arabs.

Arabized and Islamicized Iraqis, Turks, Central Asians and Syrians had Zanj but Arabians or true Arab bedouin like the Bahila were allied with Zanj according to the texts.

Clothing has nothing to do with this discussion and if you want you can make a seperate case for that(And get beat) after you prove Black was reserved for Kushites and Reddish Brown for Egyptians.

They often have a wide sash or belt going across their chests often tying around the waist, supposedly a leather item. The are portrayed with bigger lips and wider noses than the Egyptians.

This is not the case with the dipictions I provided the Features of the Kushites and Egyptians are the same except for a few with darker skin however I provided a relief where the same Dark/Light Skin was observed in the Egyptians too. Again this is a strawman as your argument was:

They use black for painting the Kushites

So unless you can discredit the fact that Kushites were shown with the same color of the Egyptians you are in the wrong.

So look at this:
A male Kushite is painted black
But the females are painted how you would paint a male reddish brown Egyptian male.

Now look at the relativity:
what are they going to paint the Egyptian females
since the males are already that reddish color?

You already now, it's that high yellowish brown color you see.

Now it all makes sense.


This is rubbish, there are no females depicted, also using the principle of embarrassment the depiction would be accurate as the Egyptians would not MAKE UP the dipiction as it shows them looking exactly like their enemies being humuliated on the relief which is war propaganda. Also how can it be an exception more Strawman argument as once again your argument was,


They use black for painting the Kushites

So unless you can prove this and disprove my evidence you are dismissed.

Yes I'll wake up when you post some evidence of that. Meanwhile I'll post this.

Bernard Lewis said it best. "The slave population of the Islamic world was recruited from many lands. In the earliest days, slaves came principally from the newly conquered countries -- from the Fertile Crescent and Egypt, from Iran and North Africa, from Central Asia, India, and Spain... by conversion and manumission they were rapidly absorbed into the general population.”

.

The man narrating makes the mistake of claiming slavery a Muslim or Muhammedan perpetration which may be more accurate than calling it Arab but it still is not entirely accurate. many people perpetrating the inhumanity at this time were neither Arab or even Muslim as we well know.

Yes we know that Arabs or Muslim Middle Easterners in general had slaves from all over the world - including Africans - after some centuries especially documented in the Ottoman era. By that time even the Arabian peninsula was no longer in Arab hands.

Does that change what the early Arabs were, or the fact that the inhabitants of the Arabian peninsula were originally black? The answer is absolutely not. Changing politics, the horrors of slavery and nationalisms don't change the origins of populations. Arab is only a nationality today and the name for a group of people who share a religion and language.


 -
President of Sudan -

Yes - but because his skin is browner than yours and he calls himself Arab and his people are committing horrible atrocities doesn't change who his ancestors were.

If he were living 2300 years ago in the same place they'd be calling him Nubian.

The same thing can be said of ancient Arabians who WERE in fact called Kushi and Ethiopians.

الله الله في أهل الذمة ، أهل المدرة السوداء السحم الجعاد فإن لهم نسبا وصهرا

as

"God God in the people of the Book, the people of generating black Shm Aldjaad they have the proportions and marriage relationship"

[Confused]

Wally. That's not a translation. Google can't translate that passage. This is what Lioness wrote a while back, isn't it? Is that what she did? Got a Google translation of it?! That explains why it doesn't make any sense. I thought an actual person translated it like that. Yes. Here is what she said a while back:

I see a translation of the Arabic you quoted:

الله الله في أهل الذمة ، أهل المدرة السوداء السحم الجعاد فإن لهم نسبا وصهرا

as being contained in this

Amazing piece of information may not know a lot of the people of Port Said is that Khalil's wife Hagar God of Abraham and mother Prophet Prophet Ishmael peace be upon him was one of the people of Farma - Port Said now!!
والمعروف طبعا أن السيدة هاجر هي الأم التي انحدر من نسلها كل العرب، وبذلك يكون لأهل بورسعيد الشرف كل الشرف في أن تكون السيدة هاجر منهم لحما ودما، حسبا ونسبا. Known of course, that Hagar is the mother who descended from the offspring of all Arabs, and thus to the people of Port Said Honor all honor to be Hagar them flesh and blood, and ratios, happens.
وهاكم حديث وصية الرسول عليه الصلاة والسلام بأهل مصر وأهل السيدة هاجر والمعروف في كتب السيرة بحديث الوصاة: Here is a modern and commandment of the Prophet, peace and blessings of the people and the people of Egypt and the Hagar known in the biography written speech guardians:
قال ابن هشام : حدثنا عبد الله بن وهب عن عبد الله بن لهيعة ، عن عمر مولى غفرة أن رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم - قال: Ibn Hisham said: Narrated Abdullah bin Wahab Abdullah bin Lahee'ah, at the age of sire will forgive that the Messenger of Allah - may Allah bless him and his family and him - said:
"الله الله في أهل الذمة ، أهل المدرة السوداء السحم الجعاد فإن لهم نسبا وصهرا" "God is God in the people of the Book, the people of generating black Shm Aldjaad they have the proportions and marriage relationship"

Wally. That's not the translation of what's in Arabic.

The correct translation of the description of Nabtal is NOT this - as Lioness wrote:

'There comes to sit with you a black man with long flowing hair, ruddy cheeks and inflamed eyes like two copper pots. His heart is more gross than a donkey's; he carries your words to the hypocrites so beware of him'. This so they say was the description of Nabtal.

This is the description of Nabtal:

كان جسيما أدلم ثائر شعر الرأس أحمر العينين أسفع الخدين

"He was huge, jet black-skinned, with unkempt hair (not combed hair), red eyes, and black mixed with reddish cheeks".

Wally. That also isn't a correct translation. What makes you think it is correct? It makes no sense either. The correct translation of what you just posted in Arabic is:

"It's a known fact, of course, that Mrs. Hagar is the mother whom all Arabs descend from. Therefore, the people of Port Said are highly honored that Mrs. Hagar is from them flesh and blood - in descent and lineage."

(عن زيد بن أسلم عن عطاء بن يسار أنه أخبره قال كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في المسجد فدخل رجل ثائر الرأس واللحية فأشار إليه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ( بيده ) أن أخرج كأنه يعني إصلاح شعر رأسه ولحيته ففعل الرجل ثم رجع قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أليس هذا خيرا من أن يأتي أحدكم ثائر الرأس كأنه شيطان

It is related by Zaid ibn Aslam that Ataa ibn Yasaar told him that the Prophet (pbuh) was in the mosque when a man with unkempt hair and beard entered. The Prophet (pbuh) then signaled to him with his hand telling him to leave as if he meant leave and go comb your hair and beard. The man did so and then returned. When he returned, the Prophet (pbuh) said:

"Isn't that better than coming to the mosque with unkempt hair looking like a Satan?"

Funny how black people's hair is usually described as unkempt and/or disheveled in Arabic writings like the hadith.

“…worshipped by the Azd, Sa’d bin Zaid Ashhal was sent to the idol temple of Menat to demolish it, this being the idol of the tribes of Aus, Khazraj and Ghusan. When Sa’d entered the temple of Menat he beheld a black woman with dischevelled hair coming out of it… but S’ad finished her with one blow of his sword. “ From Garden of Purity by Mirkhond The Rayzat – in Safa translation E. Rehatsak printed by the Royal Asiatic Society , London, 1891-1894.


Al Tabari born in Central Asia in the 9th century mentions the goddess Uzza or Azziz-lat another emanation of Allat, daughter of Allah: "'I have destroyed it.' he said to Muhammad. 'Did you see anything.' 'No.' 'Then.' Muhammad said, 'go back and kill her.' So Khalid returned to the idol. He destroyed her temple and broke her graven image. The shrine's keeper began saying, 'Rage, Oh Uzza, display one of your fits of rage.' Whereupon a naked, wailing Ethiopian woman came out before him. Khalid killed her and took the jewels that were on her. Then he went back to Allah's Messenger and gave him a report. 'That was Al-Uzza,' Muhammad said. 'Al-Uzza will never be worshiped again.'" –

Another translation says “Khalid Ben Alwalid destroyed the idol temple of Uzza and a nude black women with unkempt hair manifested. Al walid exclaimed, ‘Thou art not to be believed, nor to be praised. Allah has humbled thee!”

Oh - they had "unkempt" hair alright. Someone should have told these Iranian hadith writers what black hair looked like. LOL!
Looks to me like unkempt was another word for "fuzzy-wuzzy". [Wink]

your using contemporary definitions for blacks. These above could have been blacks to some ancient peoples. Look at the Egyptians they aint even black. They reddish brown. They use black for painting the Kushites.
The dumb one then goes against the Arab Hadith she herself cited where they called the Egyptians BLACK WITH CRINKLY HAIR! LOL Now she tries to claim that the Egyptians with very DARK reddish brown or mahogany skins are not really black but only ebony dark people are!LOL

Even when Jari posted pictures of Nubians in the same reddish brown color, she dismisses it! LOL

Dana, Which hadith was translated "Ethiopian" woman? All of the hadiths that I know about in Arabic say "black-skinned" woman. I'm wondering if someone translated "black-skinned" as "Ethiopian". That's probably what happened. [Smile]

This is no doubt the case as virtually every word in the Bible which in the original Hebrew was 'black' became "Ethiopian" in English translations.

By the way, I can't help but notice the brutal backlash against the old pagan religion of Arabia. This makes me more curious about it. How many of these temples existed and what happened to all the priestesses. Were all of many of the priestesses to the goddesses black?

Tariq u are right the word Ethiopian here is probably originally just black woman because thats what the Arabs were at that time. The English translator probably just chose to translate it as "Ethiopian", just as in the Bible the word Kush or Kushi is in most cases translated in late editions as Ethiopian and people have wrongly since then associated that with the African Kush in Nubia or black people.

Yes. The translator just assumed that since she is described as black-skinned, she must be Ethiopian and can't be Arab. [Smile]

How do you know that the majority were from Ethiopia? What's your proof? When did the Muslims fight the Ethiopians and take captives and enslave them??? Ask me when they fought the Persians, Romans, Byzantines, etc and take captives and enslave them and I will give you many examples.

actually no. u r lying as is apparent with your egyptsearch calling to be known by the epithet lyness.

Virginia, 1682
“Act I. It is enacted that all servants [...] which shall be imported into this country either by sea or by land, whether Negroes, Moors [Muslim North Africans], mulattoes or Indians who and whose parentage and native countries are not Christian at the time of their first purchase by some Christian [...] and all Indians, which shall be sold by our neighboring Indians, or any other trafficking with us for slaves, are hereby adjudged, deemed and taken to be slaves to all intents and purposes any law, usage, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.”
Document H: October, virginia slave codes 1705. Chap. XLIX: An act concerning servants and
slaves.
…And also be it enacted ... That all servants imported and brought into this
country, by sea or land, who were not Christians in their native country, (except Turks
and Moors in amity with her majesty, and others that can make due proof of their being
free in England, or any other Christian country, before they were shipped, in order to
transportation hither) shall be accounted and be slaves, and as such be here bought and
sold notwithstanding a conversion to Christianity afterwards.
…And also be it enacted … That all masters and owners of servants, shall find and
provide for their servants, wholesome and competent diet, clothing, and lodging, by the
discretion of the county court; and shall not, at any time, give immoderate correction;
neither shall, at any time, whip a Christian white servant naked, without an order from a
justice of the peace: And if any, notwithstanding this act, shall presume to whip a
Christian white servant naked, without such order, the person so offending, shall forfeit
and pay for the same, forty shillings sterling, to the party injured…
And for a further Christian care and usage of all Christian servants, Be it also
enacted … That no negros, mullatos, or Indians, although Christians, or Jews, Moors,
Mahometans, or other infidels, shall, at any time, purchase any Christian servant, nor
any other, except of their own complexion, or such as are declared slaves by this act:
And if any negro, mulatto, or Indian, Jew, Moor, Mahometan, or other infidel, or such as
are declared slaves by this act, shall, notwithstanding, purchase any Christian white
servant, the said servant shall, ipso facto, become free and acquit from any service then
due, and shall be so held, deemed, and taken.

And for a further prevention of that abominable mixture and spurious issue, which
hereafter may increase in this her majesty’s colony and dominion, as well as by English,
and other white men and women intermarrying with negros and mulattos, as by their
unlawful coition with them, Be it enacted … That whatsoever English, or other white man
or woman, being free, shall intermarry with a negro or mulatto man or woman, bond or
free, shall, by judgment of the county court, be committed to prison, and there remain,
without bail; and shall forfeit and pay ten pounds current money of Virginia, to the use
of the parish, as aforesaid.
And be it further enacted, That no minister of the church of England, or other
minister, or person whatsoever, within this colony and dominion, shall hereafter wittingly
presume to marry a white man with a negro or mulatto woman; or to marry a white
woman with a negro or mulatto man, upon pain of forfeiting and paying, for every such
marriage the sum of ten thousand pounds of tobacco.

South Carolina, 1712
"Be it therefore enacted, by his Excellency, William, Lord Craven, Palatine.... and the rest of the members of the General Assembly, now met at Charles Town, for the South-west part of this Province, and by the authority of the same, That all negroes, mulatoes, mestizoes or Indians, which at any time heretofore have been sold, or now are held or taken to be, or hereafter shall be bought and sold for slaves, are hereby declared slaves; and they, and their children, are hereby made and declared slaves...."

Dana, Which hadith was translated "Ethiopian" woman? All of the hadiths that I know about in Arabic say "black-skinned" woman. I'm wondering if someone translated "black-skinned" as "Ethiopian". That's probably what happened. [Smile]

This is no doubt the case as virtually every word in the Bible which in the original Hebrew was 'black' became "Ethiopian" in English translations.

By the way, I can't help but notice the brutal backlash against the old pagan religion of Arabia. This makes me more curious about it. How many of these temples existed and what happened to all the priestesses. Were all of many of the priestesses to the goddesses black?

I would imagine that their complexion was like that of all the other Arabs. [/QUOTE]

The Aus, Khazraj and Ghassan are the well-documented (and more than once as being black and pure Arab people mentioned in Tariq's and my posts and in Tariq's book.

That's the whole issue people don't understand the Arabian tribes are ALL people who are documented as being black - period. Arabians converted people to Islam and those people have come to call themselves "Arabs" but originally and evidently Arab only refered to a man of black and near black skin.

That is why I put up the posts with the documented blackness of all of the Arabian tribes. Anyone that knows the names of the Arab tribes can document that they are described as "blacks" in the Westtern sense of the word not in Snaky's.

One should not be confused by the hadiths written by non-Arabs who at times seem to have been not even familiar with the fact that Arabians ate with their hands.

Exactly Djehuti - that is what I have been saying and it is also clear that this happened in the northern part of the peninsula within the last 3-4 centuries as is clear from the descriptions of the North and Central Arabian tribes until the 15th and even 19th century when the Ka'b Muntafik or numerous clans of the Qays are described as having the complexion of Galla Ethiopians. I have already said the Anaesa, Shammar and other fair-skinned groups of basically Arabized Syrian biological stock began according to textbooks moving into North and Central Arabia in the last 4 centuries.

That is why there are both dark skinned Shammar and light Shammar, dark skinned Anaeza and light skinned Anaeszah groups. Same thing as you can find with the Berbers - Kabyles, Mozabites, Masmuda, etc.

The admixture in southern and eastern Arabia actually began a lot earlier than in the North and those people unlike the Northern emigrant Syro Arabians were known for a long time as Ebna (Persians or Iranians) and not as "Arabs". Nevertheless they now speak Arab or sometimes both languages and have become largely intermixed with the original black Azd, Kinda, Himyarite, Qahtan who were the true Arab peoples of the peninsula.

Correct! And just to add further, Ethiopia was far from being a major source of slaves for early Muslims, because of the fact that it was the first Islamic center outside of Arabia!! Yes, for those who don't know (including Lyingass) you read right! Ethiopia became the first center of Islam outside Southwest Asia even though it was a Christian state. During the time of civil strife within the Quraysh (Muhammad's tribe) between Muhammad and his Muslim followers and the pagan tribal leaders and their followers, the persecution of Muslims became so bad Muhammad and his followers fled Mecca and crossed the Red Sea to Ethiopia. It was in Ethiopia where they sought sanctuary, and even Muhammad gave explicit orders to his followers to respect the Christian Ethiopians who gave them refuge. Even today, the Ethiopian city of Negash is considered the fourth holiest city in Islam after Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem! Many of the first converts to Islam outside of Arabia were of course Ethiopians. Even Ethiopia's neighbor, Somalia received Islam peacefully from Arab traders especially from Yemen therefore Somalis like Ethiopians were never considered enslaved nations. Most of the Africans who were enslaved by Arabs were Sudanese Christians and pagans further north who were hostile to Muslims as well as pagan Bantus further south in what is today the Swahili Coast who were also hostile to Muslims.

Quite right. Europeans made it a policy not to conquer or enslave Christian nations, which was still a boon to Europe since MOST nations in the world especially during that time were not Christian nations in the first place. This was the reason why Ethiopia was spared conquest until of course the 1930s when the very nation of the Pope, Italy began its occupation of Italy! By then it was no longer about whose Christian or not but about whose not WHITE and "fair game".

But I thought these movements occurred much earlier than in the last 4 centuries but even centuries before the advent of Islam which only sped up the process.

Again, I thought immigration into Arabia occurred in the North first but then later in the south. The northern incoming peoples were of Syrian descent while the southern incomers were of Iranian descent. By the way, this might explain the Banadir people of Somalia who are the fair-skinned Yemenis of Persian ancestry.

The Arabs were usually ruthless and often disrespectful of societies and cultures that existed in Africa before they arrived. Many times the Arabs moved down the coast of East Africa rendering the service of the much needed East African coastal trade. Soon after this, Arabs began to marry or cohabit with African women. This in turn resulted in a generation of African-looking Arabs.

Djehuti for you to gloss over and attempt to excuse this simply by pointing out there where white slaves is a disgrace to the African people and the suffering of 14 centuries that goes on to this day.

Lioness did you read my book The Unknown Arabs? Why are you ignoring the period when most of the red (white) people were enslaved - the period of the Islamic conquests? Those people you see selling captives in that picture are the descendants of the Persian, Greek, Roman, Slavic slaves. The Prophet Mohamed said to the Arabs what means something like this: "Your hands will become full of Persians (slaves). Then they will become like fearless lions. Then they will cut your throats and take your spoils."

I know about the period when when most of the white people were enslaved, but the period when most of the white people were enslaved was also a period when most people enslaved by the Arabs were not white.

The problem comes when a religious person tries to explain history. Instead of using all the historical sources they use only religious texts.
Then they go about finding all the vague metaphoric language and claim it supports their conclusion.
In this case corrupting the religious text with a racist angle of their desire.

There are slaves that had become slave as a result of losing a war. However much of the slave trade involved capture of people without war.
In addition there were tribal wars within Africa, indigenous tribal warfare between black people in which some of the losers became slaves. Many of these slaves were sold to Arab and later European slave traders.

LMAO...

I know about the period when when most of the white people were enslaved, but the period when most of the white people were enslaved was also a period when most people enslaved by the Arabs were not white.

if you were to read that entry which one can do in the google books link you would see that in that section of the book they also mention centuries prior to the general period that is the title of the volume.
By the way Bilal was a black slave of Ethiopian origin. He was traded for another black slave, the other man was not freed because he was considered a heathen. Bilal was because he had converted to the slave master's religion and sang his song.

White Washing what history, you do realize that in the begining of Islamic slave history slaves were imported from Europe, mainly "Slavs" and Turks..etc. The Saqqiliba and Mamluks were so common the term Slave comes from Slav. This is why the Turks and Mamluks were able to overwealm the Arab Caliphates such as those that controlled Baghdad. So in theory Alwaad is right, it was not until the Ottoman Turks came into power(around the 1600's RING A BELL) that enslavement of Whites was outlawed leading to the rise of black Abdeed slaves.

I don't believe the Arabs were all black and if they were they were power hungry incompotents who did not know how to run their Empires and could not get over their lust for slave women. They pretty much bred themselves into destruction and allowed former Slave populations..Mamluks and Turks to take over their empires.

And lets be clear Africans all over the continent were resistant to Islamic factions. The Nubians kicked the Arabs and Turks until modern weapons were invented, the Zanj rebellion..etc.

There I helped you out, saved you from the freight train..LMAO [Roll Eyes]

Again it has nothing to do with White Washing history..How exactly do you think Mamluks and Saqilliba were able to over take Egypt, Constantinople, while the Nubians kept them at bay. The Slave populations were mainly white at one point. Look @ Al-Andalus, Look @ Mamluk Egypt, Fatimid Egypt, Baghdad, etc.

Also you act like Arabs just came in and had fun, Africans were more than a match for the Arabs, The Nubians, the Zanj, the Ghana, etc. So please spare me.

yes I realize this and I also realize that the import of black slaves from Africa was much larger in number in any period of Islamic history. The numbers of white vs. black slaves is irrelevant anyway.
If you were to listen to awlaadberry he would tell you there were no black slaves taken in earlier preiods from the Rashidun to the Abbasid and also prior to Muhammad. The picture I posted earlier is a slave market in Yemen in the 13th century.
The account of the conquest of Egypt which I just mentioned including it's tributaries paid in slaves and other goods and a disrespect for Egyptian culture.

Who told you he was of Ethiopian origin? Do you mean because his mother was Ethiopian? From what I know, he was born in a place called Sira in Yemen.

Tariq, I have already told you that you were right in regards my arab origins. I did have my DNA tested, and my results have confirmed my paternal DNA matches are from "West, North, Central, and East Africa" to Oman, and my maternal DNA matches are from Yemen, Oman, and all the way to Pakistan. How is this possible? I have read your book, and didn't believe it until my DNA results came back, and proved what you said.

So, the question for me is where do these origins really come from? Arabia or "Africa"? Just because the frequencies are where they are now today, does that mean they originate from there?

Lioness I understand what you are saying, but if you notice I don't usually post pics like this:

 -

or like the Slave market scene, why because I was working in a Library last semeseter and I had access to a lot of books. Anyway, I came upon a book on Islamic art and it had Images of the Arabs fighting "Ethiopians" and the Ethiopian Army was stark white(Ill try to upload some images to show you what I mean.), some of that art is not reliable just like the Orientalist paintings. Im not saying slaves were not imported from Ethiopia and East Africa, nor do I think Alwaad is denying this. However Alwaad is right that white slaves were used more until the Ottoman Turks gained power and banned the sale of White Slaves. Does this justify the enslavement of Africans, no.

Also Lioness, one of the main reasons why African Kingdoms fell to Europeans and Arabs is because a lack of unity. Africans had some of the biggest armies, best Archers, we had navies, armor, Forts etc.

The Hebesha invaded Arabia and controlled it at one point..

... We have conquered the country of the Arabs as far as Mecca and have governed them. We defeated Dhu Nowas (Jewish King of Yemen) and killed all the Himyarite princes, but you, White people, have never conquered our country. Our people, the Zenghs (Negroes) revolted forty times in the Euphrates, driving the inhabitants from their homes and making Oballah a bath of blood

Al-Jahiz-Glory of the Blacks over the whites

The Zanj Control of Iraq:

"It was not a slave revolt. It was a zanj, i.e. a Negro, revolt. To equate Negro with slave is a reflection of nineteenth-century racial theories; it could only apply to the American South before the Civil War."

"All the talk about slaves rising against the wretched conditions of work in the salt marshes of Basra is a figment of the imagination and has no support in the sources. On the contrary, some of the people who were working in the salt marshes were among the first to fight against the revolt. Of course there were a few runaway slaves who joined the rebels, but this still does not make it a slave revolt. The vast majority of the rebels were Arabs of the Persian Gulf supported by free East Africans who had made their homes in the region.


Now the Zanj, Ethiopians, and the Nubians had some of the most powerful and advanced Empires during the middle Ages, what if the had come together, they could have controlled the Trade routes, subjugated the Arabs, Turks, and Persians while they fought each other.

LOL Yes, I believe this confusion goes back to the mistranslation of 'black' to Ethiopian. Bilal is widely known in the Islamic world as an 'Ethiopian' even though he was Yemeni.

Interesting point. I too once thought that it was a slave revolt until I did more research. It's a shame how Western scholarship has turned every black presence outside of Africa into a 'slavery' affair.

Lol, you're an idiot
He was a black Ethiopian who was born in Mecca you dimwit.
the son of an Abyssinian slave, Rabafi, who was sold into slavery in Ethiopia and transported across the Red Sea to Arabia where a rich Makkan trader bought him. The child of a slave, Bilal, was purchased in the slave market in Makkah by an Arab merchant, Umaya. His master treated him harshly and at times tortured him brutally.

These types of remarks are from Arab historians who represent a legacy of the slave holding class.
Zanj cut sugar cane and worked in salt mines. Their jobs were to clear away the nitrous top soil that made the land arable. The working conditions were also considered to be extremely miserable and
dying of exhaustion was common.

The nature of who comprised the revolt is irrelevant to this point.

The Arabs removed the testicles of many of the male slaves. The female slaves they raped.

I have to agree with you here, Bilial was an Ethiopian, although I heard Dr. Ben say he was not a slave but a Lawer and traslated alot of the Christian/Hebrew works for Muhammed from Ethiopia but I have not found any sources on this as of yet.

These types of remarks are from Arab historians who represent a legacy of the slave holding class.
Zanj cut sugar cane and worked in salt mines. Their jobs were to clear away the nitrous top soil that made the land arable. The working conditions were also considered to be extremely miserable and

I used the Zanj revolt as proof that African were not docile to Arab/Islamic exploitation and that at many points they were resistant. Also what does this have to do with "Arab Historians"?? Explain..

The nature of who comprised the revolt is irrelevant to this point. Yes, it is relevant if in the future people started saying the American Revolution was a Slave Revolt would that be accurate, equating blacks with slave is nothing but Euro/Arabcentrism at its best.

ISLAM REACHES THE CENTRAL SUDAN: Rise of Funj and Fur Sultanates

1504 AD The fall of Soba, capital of the last Christian kingdom of Alwa; the beginning of the Islamic Funj Sultanate at Sennar.

let me throw in some info that was left out.


-
alwa and Dotawo were the last christian nubian kingdoms.the fell in 1504,conqured by the funj,alwa was in nubia too after all,but has a kingdom went went further south of it,but it's clear has an empire,it went further south.

quote-
Alodia is the least known of the Christian Nubian kingdoms. Its northern border was somewhere between the 5th and 6th Cataracts. Its southern border is unknown, but Alodia might have had some authority deep into the Bahr el Ghazal.


Alodia or Alwa was the southernmost of the three kingdoms of Christian Nubia; the other two were Nobatia and Makuria to the north.


Alodia was the furthest of the Nubian states from the influences of Egypt and thus the last of the Nubian states to be converted to Islam. The conventional date for the final destruction of Alodia is the Funj conquest of the region in the early sixteenth century. Archaeological evidence seems to show that the kingdom was in decline as early as the thirteenth century. Near the end of this century al-Harrani reports that the capital had been moved to Wayula. Later Mamluk emissaries reported that the region was divided among nine rulers.


Alodia seems to have preserved its identity after the Funj conquest and its incorporation into the Kingdom of Sennar. The Alodians, who became known as the Abdallab, revolted under Ajib the Great and formed the semi-autonomous Kingdom of Dongola that persisted for several centuries.
___________

Makuria -


Shekanda the Usurper
Internal difficulties seem to have also hurt the kingdom. King David's cousin Shekanda claimed the throne and traveled to Cairo to seek the support of the Mamelukes. They agreed and invaded Nubia in 1276, and placed Shekanda on the throne. The Christian Shekanda then signed an agreement making Makuria a vassal of Egypt, and a Mamluke garrison was stationed in Dongola.

Shamamun's War
After only a few years of occupation Shamamun, another member of the Makurian royal family, led a rebellion against Shekanda to restore Makurian independence. He eventually defeated the Mamluk garrison and took the throne in 1286. He offered the Egyptians an increase in the annual bakt payments in return for scrapping the obligations to which Shekanda had agreed. The Mamluke armies were occupied elsewhere, and the Sultan of Egypt agreed to this new arrangement.


Civil War and Collapse
After a period of peace King Karanbas defaulted on these payments, and the Mamluks again invaded and occupied the kingdom in 1312. This time a Muslim member of the Makurian dynasty was placed on the throne. Sayf al-Din Abdullah Barshambu began converting the nation to Islam and in 1317 the Dongola cathedral was turned into a mosque. This was not accepted by other Makurian leaders and the nation fell into civil war and anarchy that very year. The countryside came under the control of the raiding tribes from the desert, and the monarchy was left with effective control over little more than the capital. This effectively ended Makuria as a unified state. There is some evidence the Makurian dynasty survived until the end of the 14th century, including a Makurian call for aid in 1397. It has been suggested that the change of African trade routes and the Black Death did play a major role in the collapse.

The Awlad Kenz
In 1412, the Awlad Kenz took control of (makuria) and part of Egypt above the Thebaid. The Awlad Kenz remained the de facto rulers of Nubia until 1517, when the area was conquered and amalgamated into Egypt by the armies of the Ottoman Sultan Selim.
___________________
another nubian kingdom that took the place of markuria .
arabs did not took over.

Joel of Dotawo was a king of the Christian kingdom of Dotawo in Nubia. His rule is documented from the year 1484.


Dotawo (Old Nubian: Lower Dau or Daw) was a kingdom that might have existed in the Beja Region of Northern Sudan and Southern Egypt Lower Nubia in the Middle Ages. It has long been known that a kingdom by this name is mentioned as existing during the collapse of Makuria in the thirteenth century.

Scholars believed it was one of a number of small successor states to emerge during this anarchic period. However, the large collection of documents found at Qasr Ibrim in the 1960s overturned this view. The Qasr Ibrim find contains many documents relating to relations between the Eparch of Nobatia and the King of Dotawo. These include relations during the Makuria's peak in the 12th century. The Eparch even seems to have had far more dealings with the king of Dotawo than his overlord the king of Makuria.

One explanation for this is that Dotawo is simply another name for Makuria. The depiction of multiple kings clashes with the description of the region given by Arab traveler Ibn Selim el-Aswani. In no known document are the names of both Dotawa and Makuria present, and at several points the listed names of the king of Dotawa matches those of Makuria.


However at many other points in time the name of the King of Dotawa being written to does not match that of the King of Makuria. The name also seems to indicate a Kingdom based at Gebel Adda, also known as Daw. One Arab writer reports that the Beja region was structured with thirteen lesser kings under one "Great King," and Dotawo could have been one of these vassal kingdoms.

Lol, you're an idiot
He was a black Ethiopian who was born in Mecca you dimwit.
the son of an Abyssinian slave, Rabafi, who was sold into slavery in Ethiopia and transported across the Red Sea to Arabia where a rich Makkan trader bought him. The child of a slave, Bilal, was purchased in the slave market in Makkah by an Arab merchant, Umaya. His master treated him harshly and at times tortured him brutally.

These types of remarks are from Arab historians who represent a legacy of the slave holding class.
Zanj cut sugar cane and worked in salt mines. Their jobs were to clear away the nitrous top soil that made the land arable. The working conditions were also considered to be extremely miserable and
dying of exhaustion was common.

The nature of who comprised the revolt is irrelevant to this point.

The Arabs removed the testicles of many of the male slaves. The female slaves they raped.

Read this:

إنها قصة الصحابى الجليل.. بلال بن رباح رضى الله عنه والذى ولد فى السراة

"...It's the story of Bilal ibn Rabah (RAA), who was born in Sirah..."

You say:

"The child of a slave, Bilal, was purchased in the slave market in Makkah by an Arab merchant, Umaya. His master treated him harshly and at times tortured him brutally."

Do you know who this Umaya was? He was from the Bani Jumah branch of Quraish. Read this:

"Umayyah ibn Khalaf ibn Safwan[1] was a Meccan Arab, a leading member of the Quraish and head of the of Bani Jumah. He was an opponent of the Muslims led by Muhammad and is best known as the master of Bilal ibn Ribah, a slave he tortured for converting to Islam."

Do you know the description of his clan of Quraish - the Bani Jumah? Read this line of a famous Arabic poem:

"...and I'm not from the strong, solid, black-skinned Bani Jumah"

ولا بني جمح الخضر الجلاعيد

Read this passage from my book The Unknown Arabs:

Another noble, pure-blooded Arab hero of the past who was described as black-skinned is Othman ibn Madh’un. He is Othman the son of Madh’un the son of Habib the son of Wahb the son of Hudhafa the son of Jumah the son of Amru the son of Husais the son of Ka’ab the son of Luayy the son of Ghalib the son of Fihr (Quraish) the son of Malik the son of Nadr the son of Kinana. He was from the Jumah branch of Quraish.... Aisha, the daughter of Othman ibn Madh’un’s brother Qadama the son of Madh’un, says, “The children of Madh’un all looked alike. Othman the son of Madh’un was black-skinned with a big beard.”

Is this all clear to you? What do you understand from what I have written here Lioness?

Frank Snowden:
Another frequent misconception in some discussions of the populations of the ancient world is the assumption that words or expressions describing people as dark--or black--skinned were always in classical usage the equivalents of "Ethiopians" i.e. Negroes, or, in twentieth century usage, blacks. Greeks and Romans, well acquainted with their contemporaries, differentiated between the various gradations of color in Mediterranean populations and made it clear that only some of the black- or dark-skinned peoples, those coming from the south of Egypt and the southern fringes of northwest Africa, were Ethiopians, i.e. Negroes. Ethiopians, known as the blackest peoples on earth, became the yardstick by which classical authors measured the color of others. In first century AD, Manilius described Ethiopians as the blackest; Indians, less sunburnt; Egyptians, mildly dark; with Moors the lightest in this color scheme. In other words, to all these peoples--Ethiopians, Indians, Egyptians, and Moors--who were darker than the Greeks and Romans, classical authors applied color-words but it should be emphasized that in general the ancients described only one of these--Ethiopians--as unmistakably Negroid. To summarize this point, there is no justification to equate Egyptians, Moors or any other north Africans, with Ethiopians, even when a color-word is applied to them, unless details are given as to other physical traits such as color, hair, nose, or lips, or unless there is additional evidence to support an equivalence with Ethiopian.

I like these quotes by Frank Snowden:

"Whites in the ancient world rarely equated blackness with subordination, Dr. Snowden argued, because the black people they encountered were rarely slaves. (Most slaves in the Roman Empire, for instance, were white.) Instead, they met blacks who were warriors, statesmen and mercenaries."

“Nothing comparable to the virulent color prejudice of modern times existed in the ancient world,” Dr. Snowden wrote in “Before Color Prejudice.” He added: “The ancients did not fall into the error of biological racism; black skin color was not a sign of inferiority; Greeks and Romans did not establish color as an obstacle to integration.”

^ Tell that to the lyingass who loves to equate slave with black. Even the very word slave comes from 'Slav', because during Medieval Times the largest group of people being enslaved were the Slavs of Eastern Europe who were not only captured and enslaved by Muslims of the Middle East but even fellow whites of Western Europe who also disparaged them as being 'inferior' and 'heathens' (pagans).

How is this possible? I have read your book, and didn't believe it until my DNA results came back, and proved what you said.

So, the question for me is where do these origins really come from? Arabia or "Africa"? Just because the frequencies are where they are now today, does that mean they originate from there?

Do you know what specific haplotypes you have?

In Arabic, there are specific words that are used to described specific complexions and there are many different words used to describe complexions that today would be considered "black". One of these words is the term "white". A person who was called "white" by the Arabs of the past would be called "black" today.

On the basis of the very definition of black, you moron! His skin is not dark enough to be 'black'. Of course many African Americans with light skin due to mixed ancestry, especially those with a "high yellow" look are technically not black in color either but are still labeled as such for political reasons. It's a known fact, Malcolm X's grandmother was raped by a white man and even though there were classifications for multiracial people like 'mulatto', politically such people were still lumped in with other blacks and disowned by the white populace in attempt to preserve a false sense of racial 'purity'.

So your not so sneaky strawman is demolished.

Djehuti, 2 questions

You use the term "black" frequently. It's only fair you define this term if you are going to be using it so much. You used the phrase "technically black" and the phrase "politically black" For this discussion when I use the word black I will be referring to what you call "technically black" rather than "politically
black"

QUESTION 1:

If "black" is a word that you use in describing people's skin color what word or words do you use to describe people who are not black?

 -

Below are two examples of the color "black"

Are you claiming, "political definitions" aside that anyone who is not this color is technically not black?


 -

 -
example of a three dimensional black object


Then a whole of of Africans (and others) would not be as you said "technically black".

Look at the following color:

 -

Someone might call this light black, or call it gray. It is closer to black than a similarly light shade of the color brown.
When you neutrally diluted version of black it's called gray.
Brown is a color that is produced by mixing red, yellow and blue. When the colors are mixed the amount of blue mixed in can control the level of darkness or lightness even though your eye can't pick out the blue because the red and yellow dominate visually over the blue. As in the above example of a "black" rock the rock is not the darkest black like the flat black paint sample above it yet no brown is present. You could also call it dark gray" or just attribute the grayness to lighting and still call it a black rock. Either way it doesn't matter, has no browness to it.

 -
^^^density of blackness, gray ranges


But you want to include brown in your definition of "technically black" fine, let us proceed.

I have to ask you these questions because you used the term "technically black" so now we have to get technical. You can't assume that everybody would agree on exactly what that means.
If you are saying "technically black" includes certain browns, fine, the category of "technically black" would then not to have be literally "technically black" in terms of pure color allow would allow for certain browns if the term "technically black" is applied to people.

So if you are defining black as including a certain level of dark brown please indicate what that level of brownness is. You said that Malcom X and the second man below him are not "technically black" because they are both not dark enough to be "technically black" (although you say Malcom falls into the "politically black" category).

So if these men are not technically black and at the same time you allow for a certain level of dark brown to be considered "black" what precisely is the cut off point?
Malcom and the second man are not snow white. They are a certain shade of brown. Yet you say that some browns are not light enough to be considered "black" as in a "black person"


QUESTION 2:

Below is range of browns that have been numbered which is the number at which that shade of brown and shades lighter than it, to you, are not dark enough to match a "technically black" person?

This STILL won't change the fact that the ancient Egyptians as people of African descent and African descent ONLY and therefore don't have light complexions look like this:

They are obviously black not just in a political sense but in actual color description!

Not what do you think the lioness' answer to the question is. Let us not be obsessed on me all the time, this is Djehuti's moment Lets think about this, You asked Djhuti why Maclom X is black compared to another man who is not even of his same ethnicity is not, while in the same breath claiming a man who has the similar features, skin, hair and ethnicity would be recognized as Black by "Anybody" thus your questioning of Djhuti is contradiction at best and hypocritical at worse when you are taking issiue with him when you believe same damn thing.

If you can not understand this, you are beyond stupid.

what you are not understanding is that:

2) I am not sane and I have stated that before

3) I have have asked 2 questions. Things you think

4) Djehuti is not an average "anybody" either, he is very peculiar

5) Egyptsearch poster's definition of "black" is not the average anybody's definition of black either.
The average anybody's definition of race includes features. The Egyptsearch poster's definition says it has nothing to do with features. This is why according to Egyptsearch types that all the following people are black:

My husband and Malcom X as Jari said according Egyptsearchthink are not "technically black" just politically black

Lioness - This man is an obvious mulatto. There are the ignorant on both sides, who will try to force a particular choice on them. But intelligent people respect a mulatto's right to "Self-Identify". Of course, whether or not the world society accepts that is another question entirely. (below)

 -

.

For of course this "Self-Identifying" thing is tricky!

Take for instance the great capital of all Sand Niggers - Turkey.

They "Self-Identify" as White. The problem is that they can't get the Albinos in Europe to agree with them!

Since 1947 Turkey has kissed every White Ass it could find, in order to be accepted into the European community - it immediately joined NATO.

When the European Union was founded in 1993 Turkey immediately petitioned for membership - it was rejected. Turkey had petitioned for membership every year since - and were rejected.

Many reasons were given for Turkeys rejection, but the one I liked best was quote: "They are just too different" Ha ha ha ha ha.

With the last rejection, Turkey said; you know what, fuch them, we are Sand Niggers and proud of it!

So off they went to provide relief to their forgotten brethren in Palestine. The Israelis killed quite a few on that relief boat.

So now they are in a fix, despite all the Ass-kissing, the Europeans don't want them - and need I say what the Africans would say to them?

Like I said; that "Self-Identifying" thing is TRICKY!

The term "mulatto" is irrelevant to whether a person is "black" or "white" according to Egyptsearch definitions.

The term doesn't "black" and "white" refer to darkness or lightness of skin. A person being mulatto doesn't specify lightness or darkness of skin. It refers to the parents of that person and
the resulting child is often not a 50/50 split between the parents. This had been demonstrated in even more extreme cases in the threads

Black Parents have white baby

http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=003351

and

White Parents have Black baby

http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=003354

but we need not even have to go to the extreme cases to show that the child is often not a predictable 50/50 split between the parents.
Therefore you could
have a black mulatto or a white mulatto.
The word "black" and "white" refer to color "mulatto" describes how the person came about but not if the result is "black" or "white" and according to Egyptsearch there are only two color choices "black" or "white"

regardless of speculation on your part we only need to look at one of the cases:

Black Parents have white baby = Albino!

what's the problem your word for "white" is albino
and your definition of that word is a person of light skin to a particular degree. You are simply using what you consider a synonym for white, "albino" .

Therefore my point is intact, "mulatto" does not indicate child's color, if they are "white" of "black"

"Mulatto" is a category but not a color category

Like I said the dividing line between "dark-skinned" and almost but "not dark skinned"
is not clear at all.
The dividing point between "black" and "white" is whatever given person decides it to be.
Are there more terms that refer specifically to color that people could be categorized into?

"esp. those of Africa, Oceania, and Australia"

does this mean that the following man is not black:

 -

or is he still black because they said "esp." (especially) but not exclusively?

Jari, you calling any of this clear is a from of retardation. It's also actually a lie to call it clear. It's a lie that persists so you can have the flexibility to call anybody black or white for arbitrary reason.
You try to shoot down the term "Negro" and "Caucasoid" yet use the very same definition and insert the word "black". hypocrisy again
Are there other categories for mankind other than "Negroid" ? What are the names of these categories or is everybody "black"

All of these recent scientific article getting posted do the scientists use the terms "black" and "white"?
Oh those terms are perfectly clear. Now let's take a Chinese person with light skin. You have shown us how perfectly clear these terms "black" and "white" are so what category do Chinese people many of whom are light skinned, fall into? You're not going to say "yellow" now are you? You set up a color premise, so they are "white" then?

All of this is crystal clear. Just look it up in the dic tionary honey. Even anguish of being knows that the term "black" is arbitrary

The definition is quite clear. You're right that there is no straightforward dividing line as skin color grades, however any moron knows the difference between a black person and white person and of course those in between would be labeled as 'brown'.

Incorrect as usual. 'Negro' and 'caucasian' are racial terms that are invalid and bankrupt since race does not exist. 'White' and 'black' are labels based on description on skin color which does exist. I gave you the definition of black, can you define "caucasian" or "negro"? You still fail to provide these definition even though its been asked of you for weeks now. Therefore you are dismissed.

obviously you have a problem interpreting colors. The man's hair black his skin is a shade of brown. Notice the difference. Well what would a lighter shade of black be? It would be gray, still not black.
But for the sake of argument let's go along with this corruption of language and say that this man is "black" like his hair and that equatorial Africans are also "black".
Therefore many non-equatorial Africans including the people of ancient Egypt which is among the least equatorial regions in Africa, according to your own definition are not black.
I ask you will you now follow your own instructions and stop calling brown people "black"?

More strawman sh|t! First of all, NO human being is the actual color or shade of 'black' in skin. Black is a label used to describe very dark complexions or those that approach that color. Even the darkest skin equatorial Africans are not the actual color black. Second, the definition of black didn't say anything about the equator you nitwit! And last, most Africans who don't live around the equator are still considered black. The man in the picture is Indian and last time I checked while India may not be on the equator it is still in the tropics and on the same latitudes as Sudan or Nigeria, stupid! Of course the Egyptians are hundreds of miles from the equator but so are the Nubians whom YOU label as 'black' even though they live only a few miles from Egypt!

are these people "brown" or "black" ?

your methodology is completely arbitrary in applying these terms. It 's particularly arbitrary when used to discuss information in scientific journals.

All you're doing is kissing up to your audience. If you think your audience wants to hear given person called "black" and other given person called "white" or "brown" you tell them what they want to hear (although you never ever actually apply this term "brown person" and use "white" infrequently

So when calling people "black" or white" your audience aren't going to ask any questions about what these words specifically mean or don't mean mean if who they are being applied appeals to their emotions.

But when looking at statistics, measurements and graphs all of the sudden this vague approach is unacceptable. Then we go over all the numbers with a fine tooth comb, do the math and attempt to use precision.

What a charade.

Like I 've said before Snaky - you've been living in Sweden to long. We all know in Germany and other parts of very blond Europe such people as Iranians and Turks are called black.

But that should not be confused with how most people that are on this forum use the terms.

You should have said which ones would have been most likely to be called "Abid" today by modern North Africans and Middle Easterners. Then you would have had a question that could have been answered.

Lioness I understand what you are saying, but if you notice I don't usually post pics like this:

or like the Slave market scene, why because I was working in a Library last semeseter and I had access to a lot of books. Anyway, I came upon a book on Islamic art and it had Images of the Arabs fighting "Ethiopians" and the Ethiopian Army was stark white(Ill try to upload some images to show you what I mean.), some of that art is not reliable just like the Orientalist paintings. Im not saying slaves were not imported from Ethiopia and East Africa, nor do I think Alwaad is denying this. However Alwaad is right that white slaves were used more until the Ottoman Turks gained power and banned the sale of White Slaves. Does this justify the enslavement of Africans, no.

Jari make sure you upload these photos on a new post. People like Snakiness need to know that these Central Asian people (such as the above) during this period often depicted Arabs, Moors, Ethiopians and everyone else the same way.

Posted by Yasmeen el-Kabir (Member # 18927) on :
 
I am an Arab of Turkish descent so I suppose I am a "white" Arab. I am also a classic Islamic scholar. The Prophet Mohammed was BLACK. All the early Islamic literature described him and his family as Black. Remember, at that time there was no prejudice against being Black, and people who are called "white" today were actually looked down upon and were the slaves. Read the following:

In his work, Islam’s Black Legacy: Some Leading Figures (1993), Mohammed Abu-Bakr
includes among 62 leading Black figures of Islam the prophet Muhammad himself.1 Abu-Bakr rightly
notes:
"According to Muslim tradition, Muhammad descended in a straight line from Ishmael’s second son Kedar
(Arabic: Qaidar), whose name in Hebrew signifies ‘black’…From the sons of Kedar inhabiting the northern
Arabian desert, sprang the noblest tribe in Arabia, the Koreish (Quraysh), the tribe from which Muhammad
descended."2

As we have also discussed above, the Arabian Qedar were a black tribe akin to the equally black
Nabataeans, and these two were in someway related to the Quraysh, the black tribe par excellence of Mecca.
As Robert F. Spencer remarks: “It is said that the Quraysh explained their short stature and dark skin by
the fact that they always carefully adhered to endogamy.”3 Al-Jahiz (d. 869), the important Afro-Iraqi
scholar of ninth century Baghdad, noted in his Fakhr al-sådan ala al-bidan, “The Boast of the Blacks over
the Whites”:

The ten lordly sons of Abd al-Muããalib were deep black (dalham) in color and big/tall (Dukhm). When
Amir b. al-Tufayl saw them circumambulating (the Ka'ba) like dark camels, he said, “With such men as these
is the custody of the Ka'ba preserved.” Abd Allah b. Abbas was very black and tall. Those of Abå Talib’s
family, who are the most noble of men, are more or less black (såd).”4

This report is important for our discussion, not only because Abd al-Muããalib and his ten black
sons were pure Arabs, but also because they are also the family of the Prophet, Abd al-Muããalib
being his paternal grandfather.5 The Syrian scholar and historian al-Dhahabi (d. 1348) too reported
that Abd Allah b. Abbas, Muhammad’s first cousin, and his son, Ali b. Abd Allah, were “very
dark-skinned.”6 Ali b. Abu Talib, first cousin of the Prophet and future fourth caliph, is described by
al-Suyuti and others as “husky, bald…pot-bellied, large-bearded…and jet-black (shadid al-udma).”7
Ali’s son, Abå Jafar Muhammad, according to Ibn Sad (d. 845), described Ali thusly: “He was a
black-skinned man with big, heavy eyes, pot-bellied, bald, and kind of short.”8

This convergence of blackness, nobility and Qurayshi ethnicity is further demonstrated in these lines
attributed to the seventh century CE Qurayshi poet, al-Fadil b. al-Abbas, called al-Akhdar al-LahabÊ
“The Flaming Black”. al-Fadil is the Prophet Muhammad’s first cousin and he said: “I am the blackskinned
one (al-Akhdar). I am well-known. My complexion is black. I am from the noble house of the
Arabs.”9 Ibn Maníår (d. 1311) notes the opinion that al-Akh·ar here means aswad al-jilda, ‘Blackskinned’,
and signifies that al-Fadil is from khaliß al-arab, the pure Arabs, “because the color of most
of the Arabs is dark (al-udma).”10 Similarly Ibn BarrÊ (d. 1193) said also: “He (al-Fadil) means by this
that his genealogy is pure and that he is a pure Arab (arabÊ mahd) because Arabs describe their color as
black (al-aswad).”11 Thus, al-Fadil’s blackness (akhdar) is the visual mark of his pure, Qurayshi
background, being born of a pure Arab mother and father.
The Quraysh consisted of several sub-clans. Abd al-Muããalib and his descendents, including
Muhammad, belonged to the Banå Hashim. Henry Lammens takes notice of “les Hasimites, famille où
dominait le sang nègre” (“the Hashimites, the family where Black blood dominated”).12 Lammens
remarks that they are “généralement qualifies de ??? = couleur foncée” (“generally described as adam =
dark colored”). But the Banå Hashim were not the only sub-clans noted for their blackness. The Banå
Zuhra, the tribe from which the prophet’s mother, Amia bt. Wahb, hailed, was likewise noted for its
blackness. See for example the famous Saad ibn Abi Waqqas (d.ca. 646), cousin of Amia and uncle of
Muhammad. He is described as very dark, tall and flat-nosed.13 Muhammad, it should be noted, was
quite proud of his uncle Saad whose military contributions we shall discuss below. We are told that once
Muhammad was sitting with some of his companions and Saad walked by. The prophet stopped and
taunted: “That’s my uncle. Let any man show me his uncle.”14
This blackness of the Quraysh tribe is not insignificant to the religious history of Islam. The Quraysh
were the custodians of the cult of the Ka'ba in pre-Qur?anic Mecca and at religious ceremonies they
would declare naÈnu ahlu ÏÏahi (“We are the People of AÏÏah”) and throughout Arabia they were known as
ahlu ÏÏah, the People of AÏÏah.15 In other words, the black tribe par excellence was also the AÏÏah-tribe par
excellence and custodians of the cult of the Black God. Nevertheless, or rather as a consequence,
Muhammad’s greatest struggle was with his own kinsmen, this black, AÏÏah-venerating Quraysh tribe. In
the end, however, it would be the black Quraysh that became the rulers of Islam, at least in the short
term. Not only were the Sunni caliphs drawn from them, but the Shiite Imams, descendents of the black
Ali b. Abå Talib, were likewise black QurayshÊ Arabs.16
One would thus expect the Qurayshi prophet Muhammad to be black too, especially since he
reportedly claimed to be a pure Arab for the house of Hashim17: this would make him very black-skinned
like the pure Arabs from that tribe. Muhammad’s pedigree actually demands this as his whole immediate
family tree were pure, black-skinned Qurayshi Arabs. I quote again Al-JaÈií’s important note in his Fakhr
al-sådan ala al-bidan:

The ten lordly sons of Abd al Muããalib were deep black (dalham) in color and big/tall (dukhm). When
Amir b. al-Tufayl saw them circumambulating (the Ka'ba) like dark camels, he said, “With such men as these
is the custody of the Ka'ba preserved.” Abd Allah b. Abbas was very black and tall. Those of Abå Talib’s
family, who are the most noble of men, are more or less black (såd).”18
Abd al Muããalib (d. 578) was the prophet’s grandfather and Abd Allah, one of his ten ‘deep black’
sons, was Muhammad’s father. Another deep black son, al-Abbas, was father to the above mentioned
Abd Allah b. Abbas, described as black, and al-Fa·l b. al-Abbas, whose blackness was legendary.
These were the uncle and first cousins of Muhammad. Abå Talib, another deep black uncle, was father
to Ali b. Abd Allah, another first cousin of the prophet who was described as jet-black. All of these
father-son pairs shared this deep blackness, what about the Abd Allah - Muhammad pair? We would
expect the same, unless Muhammad’s mother made a mitigating contribution. But this is not likely.
Amina, the prophet’s mother, was an Arab from the Qurayshi sub-clan Banå Zuhra, which was a black
clan. Amina’s cousin and Muhammad’s maternal uncle, Saad ibn Abi Waqqas, also from Banå Zuhra,
was very dark, tall and flat-nosed.19

But Muhammad had more than just Qurayshi blackness running through his veins. His great, great
grandfather was Abd Manaf who bore with $tika bt. Murra al-SulaymÊ the prophet’s great
grandfather \ashim. That is to say that the prophet’s great, great grandmother was from the jet-black
Banå Sulaym. \ashim, the great grandfather, bore with Salma bt. Amrå ’l-KhazrajÊ the prophet’s
grandfather, Abd al Muããalib. This means that his paternal great grandmother was from the black
Medinese tribe Banå Khazraj. Abd al Muããalib stayed within the Quraysh, but he bore the prophet’s
father Abd Allah with Faãima bt. Amrå al-MakhzåmÊ, from the exceptionally black Makhzåm
clan.20 Muhammad’s maternal lineage is also mixed with non-QurayshÊ black Arab blood. His mother,
Amina, is the daughter of Wahb b. Abd Manaf b. Zuhra whose mother (Amina’s grandmother) is
said to be a SulaymÊ, another $tika bt. Al-Awqaß.21 The black Sulaym are thus considered the
maternal uncles of the prophet and he is therefore reported to have said: “I am the son of the many
$tikas of Sulaym.”22 This all indicates that Muhammad’s lineage is a mix of QurayshÊ, SulaymÊ, and
KhazrajÊ blackness.

We thus have every reason to expect Muhammad to be black-skinned, and no reason to believe
anything else was possible. We in fact find him described as such in TirmidhÊ’s Shama?il al-
Muhammadiyyah. The following is reported on the authority of the famous Companion of the prophet,
Anas b. Malik:

The Messenger of Allah… was of medium stature, neither tall nor short, of a goodly build. His hair was
neither curly nor completely straight. He had a dark brown (asmar) complexion and when he walked he leant
forward [walking briskly].23

???? asmar is a dark brown as evidenced from other formations from the same root24: samar “darkness,
night”; al-garra al-samra? “the black continent (Africa)”.25 With the pedigree that he had, any other
complexion for Muhammad would be incomprehensible. Yet, the same Anas b. Malik who informed us
of the dark brown complexion of the prophet, also informs us thusly:
While we were sitting with the Prophet in the mosque, a man came riding on a camel. He made his camel
kneel down in the mosque, tied its foreleg and then said: “Who amongst you is Muhammad?” At that time
the Prophet was sitting amongst us (his companions) leaning on his arm. We replied, “This white man
reclining on his arm.”26

There are several other reports that describe Muhammad as ???? abya· white. How can the same
man (Anas b. Malik) describe another (Muhammad) as both of dark brown complexion and as white?
The problem, it turns out, is not in these texts but in our modern, Western inability to appreciate the premodern
Arabic color classification system. We assume that terms such as white, green, blue, and red
meant the same to the early Arabs that they do to us today. But as Moroccan scholar Tariq Berry explains
in his book, The Unknown Arabs, this is simply not the case:
The term white can be very confusing to those reading about the description of people of the past because, in the past,
when Arabs described someone as white, they meant something entirely different from what is meant today. In the past,
when the Arabs described someone as white, they meant either that he had a pure, noble, essence or that he had a nice,
smooth complexion without any blemishes. They meant he had a black complexion with a light-brownish undertone.27
Berry’s point is confirmed by the appropriate Classical Arabic/Islamic sources. Ibn Maníår affirmed that
“When the Arabs say that a person is white, they mean that he has a pure, clean, fautless integrity…They
don’t mean that he has white skin…”28 Similarly, al-Dhahabi informs us that “When the Arabs say a
person is white, they mean he is black with a light-brownish undertone.”29 Particularly important was the
observation of the 9th century CE Arabic scholar Thalab, who tells us that : “The Arabs don’t say that a
man is white because of a white complexion. White to the Arabs means that a person is pure, without any
faults. If they meant his complexion was white, they said ‘red’ (aÈmar).”30 Indeed, as David Goldenberg
notes, ‘white ???? ’ in pre-modern Arabic was about “luminosity, not chromaticity.”31 That is to say, ????
connoted brilliance, not paleness of skin. The latter was described as ‘red’ ? ??? aÈmar, which is how non-
Arab whites such as Persians and Byzantines were described.32 In other words, what we call white today
the early Arabs called red, and what they called white often was what we would today call black!
It is certain that Muhammad could not have been what we consider white today; he could not have
been fair or pale-skinned at all, for a pale-skinned Arab was such an oddity that the prophet could not
have claimed be a pure QurayshÊ Arab. The seventh century Arab from the tribe of Nakha?i, Shurayk al-
Qa·i, could claim that, because it was such a rare occurrence “a fair-skinned Arab is something
inconceivable and unthinkable.”33 So too did al-Dhahabi report that: “Red, in the language of the people
from the Hijaz, means fair-complexioned and this color is rare amongst the Arabs.”34 On the other hand,
the Arabs prided themselves on being black, is conscious contrast to the pale-skinned non-Arabs. Al-JaÈií
could still claim in the 9th century:
????? ???? ????? ?????
al-arab tafkhar bi-sawad al-lawn
“The Arabs pride themselves in (their) black color”35

These noble Black Arabs even detested pale skin. Al-Mubarrad (d. 898), the leading figure in the Basran
grammatical tradition, is quoted as saying: “The Arabs used to take pride in their darkness and blackness
and they had a distaste for a light complexion and they used to say that a light complexion was the
complexion of the non-Arabs”. Part of the reason for this distaste is that the slaves at the time were largely
from pale-skinned peoples, such that aÈmar “red” came to mean “slave” back then, just as abid
“servant/slave” means black today in the now white Muslim world. As Dana Marniche observes:
Anyone familiar with the Arabic writings of the Syrian, Iraqi and Iranian historians up until the 14th century
knows that this is also their description of the early ‘pure’ Arab clans of the Arabian peninsula… [i.e. “blacker
than the blackest ink – no shred of white on them except their teeth.”]…The irony of history is that early
Arabic-speaking historians and linguists made a distinction between the Arabs in Arabia and the fair-skinned
peoples to the north; and contrary to what may be fact in our day, in the days of early Islam, those called
‘Arabs’ looked down condescendingly on fair-skinned populations and commonly used the phrase ‘fairskinned
as a slave’ when describing individuals in tribes in the peninsula that were pale in complexion…Of
course, today due mainly to slavery and conversion of peoples to the ‘Arab’ nationality, the opposite is
thought to be true by many in the West.

A red or pale-skinned Muhammad would thus have been a profound oddity in 7th century Arabia and
would have had little chance of success amongst the proud, black Meccans and Medinese. The Meccan
objectors to his message accused of some of everything, but never of being a non-Arab! There is absolutely no
reason to believe he was pale-skinned other than much later representations that coincide with a major
demographic change it the Muslim world, a change that brought with it a strong anti-black ideology.36
We thus have every reason to accept the truth of Anas b. Malik’s description of the prophet as dark
brown (asmar) and to conclude that, as his black cousins Ali and al-Fa·l resembled their black fathers (his
black uncles), he resembled his black father, especially since his mother’s side was black as well.37

I am an Arab of Turkish descent so I suppose I am a "white" Arab. I am also a classic Islamic scholar. The Prophet Mohammed was BLACK. All the early Islamic literature described him and his family as Black. Remember, at that time there was no prejudice against being Black, and people who are called "white" today were actually looked down upon and were the slaves. Read the following:

In his work, Islam’s Black Legacy: Some Leading Figures (1993), Mohammed Abu-Bakr
includes among 62 leading Black figures of Islam the prophet Muhammad himself.1 Abu-Bakr rightly
notes:
"According to Muslim tradition, Muhammad descended in a straight line from Ishmael’s second son Kedar
(Arabic: Qaidar), whose name in Hebrew signifies ‘black’…From the sons of Kedar inhabiting the northern
Arabian desert, sprang the noblest tribe in Arabia, the Koreish (Quraysh), the tribe from which Muhammad
descended."2

As we have also discussed above, the Arabian Qedar were a black tribe akin to the equally black
Nabataeans, and these two were in someway related to the Quraysh, the black tribe par excellence of Mecca.
As Robert F. Spencer remarks: “It is said that the Quraysh explained their short stature and dark skin by
the fact that they always carefully adhered to endogamy.”3 Al-Jahiz (d. 869), the important Afro-Iraqi
scholar of ninth century Baghdad, noted in his Fakhr al-sådan ala al-bidan, “The Boast of the Blacks over
the Whites”:

The ten lordly sons of Abd al-Muããalib were deep black (dalham) in color and big/tall (Dukhm). When
Amir b. al-Tufayl saw them circumambulating (the Ka'ba) like dark camels, he said, “With such men as these
is the custody of the Ka'ba preserved.” Abd Allah b. Abbas was very black and tall. Those of Abå Talib’s
family, who are the most noble of men, are more or less black (såd).”4

This report is important for our discussion, not only because Abd al-Muããalib and his ten black
sons were pure Arabs, but also because they are also the family of the Prophet, Abd al-Muããalib
being his paternal grandfather.5 The Syrian scholar and historian al-Dhahabi (d. 1348) too reported
that Abd Allah b. Abbas, Muhammad’s first cousin, and his son, Ali b. Abd Allah, were “very
dark-skinned.”6 Ali b. Abu Talib, first cousin of the Prophet and future fourth caliph, is described by
al-Suyuti and others as “husky, bald…pot-bellied, large-bearded…and jet-black (shadid al-udma).”7
Ali’s son, Abå Jafar Muhammad, according to Ibn Sad (d. 845), described Ali thusly: “He was a
black-skinned man with big, heavy eyes, pot-bellied, bald, and kind of short.”8

This convergence of blackness, nobility and Qurayshi ethnicity is further demonstrated in these lines
attributed to the seventh century CE Qurayshi poet, al-Fadil b. al-Abbas, called al-Akhdar al-LahabÊ
“The Flaming Black”. al-Fadil is the Prophet Muhammad’s first cousin and he said: “I am the blackskinned
one (al-Akhdar). I am well-known. My complexion is black. I am from the noble house of the
Arabs.”9 Ibn Maníår (d. 1311) notes the opinion that al-Akh·ar here means aswad al-jilda, ‘Blackskinned’,
and signifies that al-Fadil is from khaliß al-arab, the pure Arabs, “because the color of most
of the Arabs is dark (al-udma).”10 Similarly Ibn BarrÊ (d. 1193) said also: “He (al-Fadil) means by this
that his genealogy is pure and that he is a pure Arab (arabÊ mahd) because Arabs describe their color as
black (al-aswad).”11 Thus, al-Fadil’s blackness (akhdar) is the visual mark of his pure, Qurayshi
background, being born of a pure Arab mother and father.
The Quraysh consisted of several sub-clans. Abd al-Muããalib and his descendents, including
Muhammad, belonged to the Banå Hashim. Henry Lammens takes notice of “les Hasimites, famille où
dominait le sang nègre” (“the Hashimites, the family where Black blood dominated”).12 Lammens
remarks that they are “généralement qualifies de ??? = couleur foncée” (“generally described as adam =
dark colored”). But the Banå Hashim were not the only sub-clans noted for their blackness. The Banå
Zuhra, the tribe from which the prophet’s mother, Amia bt. Wahb, hailed, was likewise noted for its
blackness. See for example the famous Saad ibn Abi Waqqas (d.ca. 646), cousin of Amia and uncle of
Muhammad. He is described as very dark, tall and flat-nosed.13 Muhammad, it should be noted, was
quite proud of his uncle Saad whose military contributions we shall discuss below. We are told that once
Muhammad was sitting with some of his companions and Saad walked by. The prophet stopped and
taunted: “That’s my uncle. Let any man show me his uncle.”14
This blackness of the Quraysh tribe is not insignificant to the religious history of Islam. The Quraysh
were the custodians of the cult of the Ka'ba in pre-Qur?anic Mecca and at religious ceremonies they
would declare naÈnu ahlu ÏÏahi (“We are the People of AÏÏah”) and throughout Arabia they were known as
ahlu ÏÏah, the People of AÏÏah.15 In other words, the black tribe par excellence was also the AÏÏah-tribe par
excellence and custodians of the cult of the Black God. Nevertheless, or rather as a consequence,
Muhammad’s greatest struggle was with his own kinsmen, this black, AÏÏah-venerating Quraysh tribe. In
the end, however, it would be the black Quraysh that became the rulers of Islam, at least in the short
term. Not only were the Sunni caliphs drawn from them, but the Shiite Imams, descendents of the black
Ali b. Abå Talib, were likewise black QurayshÊ Arabs.16
One would thus expect the Qurayshi prophet Muhammad to be black too, especially since he
reportedly claimed to be a pure Arab for the house of Hashim17: this would make him very black-skinned
like the pure Arabs from that tribe. Muhammad’s pedigree actually demands this as his whole immediate

Amina, the prophet’s mother, was an Arab from the Qurayshi sub-clan Banå Zuhra, which was a black

was very dark, tall and flat-nosed.19

But Muhammad had more than just Qurayshi blackness running through his veins. His great, great

complexion of the non-Arabs”. Part of the reason for this distaste is that the slaves at the time were largely
from pale-skinned peoples, such that aÈmar “red” came to mean “slave” back then, just as abid
“servant/slave” means black today in the now white Muslim world. As Dana Marniche observes:
Anyone familiar with the Arabic writings of the Syrian, Iraqi and Iranian historians up until the 14th century
knows that this is also their description of the early ‘pure’ Arab clans of the Arabian peninsula… [i.e. “blacker
than the blackest ink – no shred of white on them except their teeth.”]…The irony of history is that early
Arabic-speaking historians and linguists made a distinction between the Arabs in Arabia and the fair-skinned
peoples to the north; and contrary to what may be fact in our day, in the days of early Islam, those called
‘Arabs’ looked down condescendingly on fair-skinned populations and commonly used the phrase ‘fairskinned
as a slave’ when describing individuals in tribes in the peninsula that were pale in complexion…Of
course, today due mainly to slavery and conversion of peoples to the ‘Arab’ nationality, the opposite is
thought to be true by many in the West.

A red or pale-skinned Muhammad would thus have been a profound oddity in 7th century Arabia and
would have had little chance of success amongst the proud, black Meccans and Medinese. The Meccan
objectors to his message accused of some of everything, but never of being a non-Arab! There is absolutely no
reason to believe he was pale-skinned other than much later representations that coincide with a major
demographic change it the Muslim world, a change that brought with it a strong anti-black ideology.36
We thus have every reason to accept the truth of Anas b. Malik’s description of the prophet as dark
brown (asmar) and to conclude that, as his black cousins Ali and al-Fa·l resembled their black fathers (his
black uncles), he resembled his black father, especially since his mother’s side was black as well.37

its abeed
because they were the one of the last people to carry on the trade on a wide scale. add on that it was exacerbated by demand of the customers. the trade of the black nations was salt and gold and a few slaves compared to the famous atlantic but when gold and salt fell in it's demand and with every subject renegading against the mali-songhai empire then people became a commodity also accompanied with the aggressive military presence of the european nations hence blacks as slaves started as raiding rather than commercial trade.

white arabs became dominant during the abaasi take over in which they were mixed and bred with the natives. they were always dominant in number though. the arabs were very minute in number compared to the non-arabs. most of their armies were native peoples who joined ranks.

Abdulbenson, ...

The Abbasid Caliphate or, more simply, the Abbasids (Arabic: العبّاسيّون‎ / ISO 233: al-‘abbāsīyūn), was the third of the Islamic caliphates. It was ruled by the Abbasid dynasty of caliphs, who built their capital in Baghdad after overthrowing the Umayyad caliphs from all but the Al Andalus region.

So then Bhagdad was the Creation of White Arabs...Hmm interesting...

So then would it be fair to say the Black Arabs created Petra and Islam..(LOL)...Too bad for Bhagdad in their list of accomplishments.

no not really the creation of these places was not from the arabs. they were simply carriers and fighters for the religion. the technology part is from the non-arabs. this is mentioned in the religion and discussed by the scholars. everybody just went under the name of arabs. no different than america. contributions to the united states came from various demographics other than the ethnicity of the ruling class but they all went under the name of american. an example would be the american revolutionary war which involved peoples such as hugenots, haitians, french, native americans, african americans, and etc.. it was kinda common back in the day. different groups under one flag. christopher columbus is an example. white americans are even made of majority non-anglo groups who later became white. in south africa the chinese are legally black so bascially who did this and who did that would go to all who were involved under the particular flag.

I consider my people to be among the various Mande-speaking groups in West Africa. But you can't use Youtube as a way to knock Black Americans. Everybody puts crap on Youtube...Whites, Blacks, Asians, Arabs...why just focus on Blacks??? I personally believe our culture has been hijacked & too defined by the media but that's a different topic. So how do Asante & Mande people get along in Africa?

Adbulbenson...I understand what you are saying and like I said it makes sense the the some Arabs like the southern Arabs were black due to the proximity of the Gulf of Aden. At the same time these Arabs need to be recognized if as you and Aswani claim that Arabic speakers know the original arabs were black. Its kind of pathetic they get no recognition in Modern Arab/Islamic History, Even Black Americans get some recognition.

@ Asante: You are a moron if you think Sara Suten Seti represents black Americans. What I find funny is how you call me a Uncle Tom for expressing my feelings on how the Ashanti Traded African men, women and children for what is best described as European Junk, but it takes less than 2 seconds for you to deride African Americans based on Cults.

I can eaisily counter with the vast amount of Niggerish things Africans do but like I said there is no point in even commenting to you, like I said "Who the F-k are you..LMAO"

And Why keep saying Im claiming "Your" culture?? When Have I claimed the Ashante or even represented them at all?? LOL...

You are not even on my radar, your gonna have to get some more Cred.

I consider my people to be among the various Mande-speaking groups in West Africa

the issue is a shadowed by all kinds of ignorance. arabs(some) know this but they are not in charge of media or book publishing. arab nations(government) you have to understand work for westerners and the white agenda was birthed amongst the arabized population b 4 the coming of the europeans to exacerbate the problem. awlaadberry is doing his part which is good and ive seen arabs copy and paste his stuff on other websites, so his work is actually spreading amongst arab populations. southern populations(yemen, oman) were not the only places were dark-skinned populations existed qahtaan and adnaani arabs were all dark-skinned and these people migrated to different parts of the peninsula

I really don't care what black Americans do on YouTube I only said that so that it would make jari angry I acknowledge all of my African brothers whether there in Africa the Americas Australia or Europe I just have no respect for people who debate whites on how great African culture is yet when it comes to an African they would talk them down as if they were nothing.
In jari case he needs the acknowledgement of whites just to make himself feel better

Gundislavus "the Iberian" Productions..

Goldenberg states in the Curse of Ham, “This view of the Arab as dark-skinned is also found among other peoples as is indicated by the term arap (i.e. Arab) meaning black African in modern Turkish, Greek and Russian as well as in Yiddish.” (Goldenberg, p 2003. 124) Today, the lesser modified remnants of the Arab tribes once known to have been settled as far North as Turkey and Greece in the Medieval period are still found in southern Mesopotamia among the Beni Amir or Hawazin tribes who figure among those “blacks” facing “racial discrimination in what was Mesopotamia modern and called ABEED along with the descendants of the Zanj!

These original north Arabians K'ab the al Muntafik Beni Amir or Hawazin in Iraq are today called Abeed because they are "black" - PERIOD.

How many times do you have to be told Gundislavus the early Arabs or Arabians in general were black a people from Yarab descendant of Saba like the rest of Qahtan. Their true descendants still claim to come from Africa originally. "Arab" is a language and nationality today and anyone can call themselves Arab.

Jahiz wrote, “if the Arabs are reddish, then they belong to the Rum (Byzantines), Saqaliba (Slavs), Persians and Khurasanis...."

Non-Arabs like Persians and Khurasanis took over the Islamic world in the Abbasid period. You might want to look up some history of the Middle East. They disliked black peoples like the Arabs who had originally conquered them and treated as slaves.

Rumi a PERSIAN wrote to Abbasid leaders in the 9th century - "You insulted (the family of the Prophet) because of their blackness (bi-l-sawad), while there are still deep black, PURE_BLOODED ARABS. However, you are white – the Romans (Byzantines) have embellished your faces with their color." (cited by Berry and Wesley Muhammad, 2010, p. 29).

From the account of Ma Huang admiral of Zheng He of the 14th century explorer - "The Country of the Heavenly Square“… from Zhida (today’s Jedda or Jiddah) you go West and after traveling for one day you reach the city where the king resides. It is named the capital city of Moqie (Mecca)… They profess the Muslim religion a holy man first expanded and spread the doctrine of his teaching in this country, and right down to the present day the people of the country all observe the regulations of the doctrine in their actions, not daring to commit the slightest transgression.
The people of this country are stalwart and fine looking, and their limbs and faces are of a dark purple color”.

There “are two main categories of blacks in Iraq, mostly in the south, who total about 300,000: those of East African origin numbering around 100,000; and those of whom are Arab and originate from the Hejaz, claiming to be descended from the Prophet Muhammad, who moved to this country mostly in the 1750s and 1980s. The latter are mostly from the Muntafek tribe...

All early Arab tribes are at one time called black or near black with kinky hair. ALL OF THEM! This includes the Kindites except for Sasak and Sakun whom Tabari describes as black with straight hair. The Azd or Kahlan tribes, the Qays or Sulaym (black as lava and Hawazin (modern Abeed of Iraq) the Bakir bin Wail (still black) the Anaeza and Lakhimids of the Azd and Lihyan now called Lahiyan of the Hudhail (with black and shining skins todya), the Tayyi, Shammar and Madhij whose leader Shuraik al Cadi (el -Ca'idah) said a fair-skinned Arab is INCONCEIVABLE and one of the 7 rare things in this world in the 7th century (according to a Cordoban work the Precious Necklace written by an Arabized Iranian in the 9th.).

Iraqi's are people the Arabs conquered. "White Syrians", Iranians and Turks are peoples the Arabs conquered and Arabized - PERIOD. These people are called the "red " men by early Arab peoples and some of their descendants now occupy the peninsula among the original black or Arab populations. It doesn't mean these people can not be called Arabs today.

All of the southern and northern tribes - the Kedarenes (Nabataeans)are called black in documents - As late as the 14th century Andalusian descended Ibn Khaldun says the largest group of the north Arabians were the Beni Amir bin Zaza tribes represented today by the ABID of Iraq , Kab, Uqayl Khafaja, Khazael in Khuzestan and southern Iraq living BLACKS i.e. real Arabs!

“Tung Tien” and “T’ang History” written in the 8th and 10th centuries in China respectively have notices regarding the visit of early delegations from the Hijaz. They mention that men from the country of the Arabs “are black and bearded” and “have high noses” (cited in Muhammad, p. 194, Black Arabia. 2009). The delegations involved were led by S'ad ibn Waqqas and his father CLOSE relatives of MOHAMMAD.

I guess I will have to report the other hundred accounts of what the Arabians looked like later when I am able to come back to the forum since some of us aren't getting the gist of the problem, but I couldn't let your Iberian nonsense stand for long. [Wink]

Jari is probably Gundislavus a fake and likely Iberian who likes to call blacks monkeys and clowns both here and on you tube. he is probably not black or African which is why he feels threatened when people speak about Moors and Arabs as black AS DO ALL ANCIENT DOCUMENTS.

I forgot to add according to Richard Burton the Hijaz area or eastern Arabia was universally called East Africa and in south Arabia the land of SHEM up until the 20th century when colonialist Europeans changed it.

Mecca in recent times is also a place occupied totally by descendants foreigners taking Abyssinian concubines according to encylopedias of the early 20th and late 19th centuries.

I believe Mohammed was probably black, aswani answered this a while back, and I trust Aswani's opinion.

My question is what happened to these black Arabs...You talk to the Ave. So called Arab Muslim and they claim Mohammed was not black. My confusion is why majority of Muslims don't see Mohammed as black...

Abdulbenson addressed that..No need to spam.

You're precious Arabs are black... [Roll Eyes]

“Tung Tien” and “T’ang History” written in the 8th and 10th centuries in China respectively have notices regarding the visit of early delegations from the Hijaz. They mention that men from the country of the Arabs “are black and bearded” and “have high noses” (cited in Muhammad, p. 194, Black Arabia. 2009). The delegations involved were led by S'ad ibn Waqqas and his father CLOSE relatives of MOHAMMAD.

I guess I will have to report the other hundred accounts of what the Arabians looked like later when I am able to come back to the forum since some of us aren't getting the gist of the problem, but I couldn't let your Iberian nonsense stand for long. [Wink]

If anything the so called Sabeans were black, def. They were associated with Cush and Egypt in the Bible...

Thus said the LORD, The labor of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you, and they shall be yours

Should put to rest any claims that the Ethiopians needed "Arabs" to develop Geez when the Arabs in question were black themselves. Geez was developed by Ethiopians anyway.

Mecca in recent times is also a place occupied totally by descendants foreigners taking Abyssinian concubines according to encylopedias of the early 20th and late 19th centuries.

If anything the Orignal Arabs probably looked like Dravidians, and other Eastern Kushites. Kush was also associated with India.

Well thats good then If Alwaad is doing his part. He should def. give credit to where credit is due IMO. And honestly I probably would have more respect for black Arabs given their plight. Honestly my low opinion of Arabs comes from my encounters with the Racist Mongoloid types who think Blacks are trying to steal their non existant culture. I don't think outside Alwaad Ive ever had a problem with a black Arab. You all know Im not a fan of Islam but I give credit to when it is due.

At the same time these Arabs need to be recognized if as you and Aswani claim that Arabic speakers know the original arabs were black. Its kind of pathetic they get no recognition in Modern Arab/Islamic History, Even Black Americans get some recognition.
the issue is a shadowed by all kinds of ignorance. arabs(some) know this but they are not in charge of media or book publishing. arab nations(government) you have to understand work for westerners and the white agenda was birthed amongst the arabized population b 4 the coming of the europeans to exacerbate the problem. awlaadberry is doing his part which is good and ive seen arabs copy and paste his stuff on other websites, so his work is actually spreading amongst arab populations. southern populations(yemen, oman) were not the only places were dark-skinned populations existed qahtaan and adnaani arabs were all dark-skinned and these people migrated to different parts of the peninsula

Im not going to bog this thread down in a simple debate, like I said this guy is not even on my radar. At least learn to quote right..LOL

I couldn't care less about Europe nearly every culture in the world had practiced some sort of slavery get over it.

Yes, this is true but in the context of the thread Brada created if the slaves who destroyed the Asanti Empire were Uncle Toms, the Ashanti were def. Uncle Toms for making their #1 fucking export Human Cargo. No matter how much you try to justify it it wont change the facts. No other people made Human Cargo a #1 export and for of all things European junk. LOL, How Pathetic.


Well go ahead you Oreos don't effect me
^^^
More usage of African American lingo..LOL, pathetic.


You seem to have no problem representing them when your debating whites but when it comes to real Africans you talk them down as if there nothing!

You post a thread and no where do I represent the Ashanti at all. Also you keep saying Africans but the people I called out were the Ashanti, and It was against Brada calling Former slaves who destroyed a Slave Trading Empire "Uncle Toms"..The only other African people I have a problem with who sold slaves as a #1 export are some East Africans. I believe the Zanzibari but even they have made an official apology for their deeds.

No where did I say "Africans", there is no monolith African culture and majority of Africans did not make slaves the #1 export like the Ashanti.

I believe what you are doing is called "Strawman Fallacy"..LOL

WTF are you talking about the Mande were heavily involved in the slave trade more of there people went to the America then ours lol your are a joke

The Mande Empires did not make Slaves their #1 Export. The Ashanti became rich off selling slaves.


Jari just admit it your angry cause I called you out on being a fake and an uncle Tom you claim to hate Arabs and islam yet when a white man acknowledges the real Arabs as being black you suck up to him like the little bitch that you are.

You are seriously a f-king moron...LOL. It really is to easy to counter you..

Here are some stuff from me before this man showed up..

Have'nt you ever thought that Muhammed said this because there were "Non Egyptians" In Egypt who ruled and that the real Egyptians were the Kinky haired and black residents. When the Muslims attacked Egypt it was the Greeks who were ruling at the Time that fought and defended against the Muslims, normal Egyptians unless they were threatened by the removal of Greek powers did not fight the Muslims.

In essence Muhammed could be saying, in Regards to Egypt.."Remember the Kinky Haired black Egyptians are your Kin" I.E not the Greek and Mixed Egyptians who controlled the Delta and Alexandria and the Richer cities...I.E don't harm them(The Black Kinky Haired..YOUR KIN).

For instance if a bunch of Africans took over Europe for 300 plus years and subjugated the Native whites and then a White Powerful Army from America decideds to Invade Europe, would it not make sense if the LEader of the resistance said.."Remember the Blond, Fair skinned Europeans are you Kin, so treat them well and don't harm them"..to folks who have not been to Europe in 300 Plus yrs, who don't really know who to attack..So Muhammed could be saying "Don't Go on a Killing Spree, Remember the Blacks with Kinky hair are your Kin"...

You are obviously taking things out of proportion...which is so typical of you.

^^^^
Months before this supposed white person showed up. I was being sarcastic(Ah Salaam Alaykum)I doubt this person is even white. You really are f-king slow but I get it you need any little thing to help you huh..

Im not a fan of Islam but it played a role in history, and not everything was bad. I own 3 books on Islamic History, and as I said Im curious as to the plight of the Black Arabs.

Before Abdulbenson no one answered my questions about the black Arabs, I asked Alwaad, and I forgot to ask Aswani.


Just call me jari has just been debunked by this ashante warrior THE END

The Ashanti were never warriors, you guys got your asses handed down by the same people you sold into slavery..LMAO..Fail. and please keep thinking your Strawman Fallacious arguments "Debunked" me..

Silly boy tricks are for kids...

Goldenberg states in the Curse of Ham, “This view of the Arab as dark-skinned is also found among other peoples as is indicated by the term arap (i.e. Arab) meaning black African in modern Turkish, Greek and Russian as well as in Yiddish.” (Goldenberg, p 2003. 124) Today, the lesser modified remnants of the Arab tribes once known to have been settled as far North as Turkey and Greece in the Medieval period are still found in southern Mesopotamia among the Beni Amir or Hawazin tribes who figure among those “blacks” facing “racial discrimination in what was Mesopotamia modern and called ABEED along with the descendants of the Zanj!

These original north Arabians K'ab the al Muntafik Beni Amir or Hawazin in Iraq are today called Abeed because they are "black" - PERIOD.

banu 2mir and hawazin dem my peeps awlaad sa3yd represent ashawiya 2 d fullest

They were uncle toms for fighting against the ashanti its just a fact look at what the maroons did in the americas they actually fought back against the whites while these uncle toms were fighting for there masters and i also do believe that most of the slave revolts in the americas were done by which group of people???? oh thats right it was the akan.
And no the ashanti were just doing business the them the british tried to take over us and we beat them in many wars bitch.

Please tell in the first post of the thread do you not mention the akan people when you are trying to debate this white person on comparing egypt to other cultures?? cmon stop lying !!!!

Oh so you have no problem with the northern sudanese who were killing of there southern sudanese brothers? you have no problem with the hutus for killing the tutsis or the bantu for killing all those innocent khoi san people through expansion or the north african moors for destroying ghana mali and songhai empires oh no those guys are alright arent they.
And the ashanti did apologise for there role in the slave trade and they also offered any african american free land if they ever wanted to return to ghana.

jari wrote: "The Mande Empires did not make Slaves their #1 Export. The Ashanti became rich off selling slaves"

The mande people not the empire dumbass sold there people to the whites they did the exact same thing stop being a hypocrite it doesnt matter if ashanti got more money then them they still did it!!

Trust me you dont have a fan club you probaly dont even have any friends.

And its plain and simple if you dont like africans dont talk about us its bad enought that we have you black americans making us look bad with all your youtube videos, sara suten seti, ashra kwesi, moors, nation of islam and black hebrew israelite bullshit

Jari is probably Gundislavus a fake and likely Iberian who likes to call blacks monkeys and clowns both here and on you tube. he is probably not black or African which is why he feels threatened when people speak about Moors and Arabs as black AS DO ALL ANCIENT DOCUMENTS.
I totally agree ive never seen a so called if he even is "african american" who goes on african forums and disrespect our people so much.
