[QUOTE]Originally posted by abdulkarem3: [QB] [QUOTE]1. How accepted is it that he was half Black?[/QUOTE]not accepted in the field of islamic scholarship at all. [QUOTE]2. How is the Abbasid Dynasty generally regarded? Arabic or Black? [/QUOTE]it is regarded as abbasid hence the name and they had multiple physical representations. some black some white some brown [QUOTE]The reason I ask is because according to the above book, in a section written by Chandler, the founder of the Abbasid Dynasty was Muhammad's youngest uncle named Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib (I guess from his Black fathers side?...which would have made him Black too?).[/QUOTE]no, because he was never identified as such. his eye-witnesses considered him light-skinned in the community. the arabs considered themselves a dark-skinned nation as compared to their white-skinned roman and persian neighbors however they considered themselves a multi-colored nation as compared to the african based nations. according to arab skin-color terminology he would not be considered black. in the peninsula arabic culture, skin color was a description and not a ethnic i.d. they called african foriegners habashi because of a look and not because of a ethnic description. you have to specify your definition of black because different people have their own views of what is and what is not black. there are pale-skinned russians considered blacks by their standards. some dark-skinned africans do not consider themselves black because of their circumstance and standard.
