[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by argyle104: [qb] A "black" African from "west" Africa? People this is why you need to avoid the obsession with color that She-Male Jenkins aka Doug has. I don't like using color as a descriptive, but in this case to illustrate a point I will. Doug you say that there are "black" Africans in "west" Africa. Since you believe this, what other kinds of Africans are in "west" Africa? You must think there are more than one kind since you specifically qualified "black" Africans in a way that either seperates them from the other Africans or makes them outsiders in so called "west" Africa. If you don't believe "black" Africans are outsiders or are a serperate group, then why didn't you just say Africans? Why did you have to add "black" as a qualifier? [/qb][/QUOTE]Silly you and your asinine interjections. The term Moor itself is a reference to black Africans as outsiders in Europe. The point is that as Europeans expanded their interactions with various parts of Africa, they expanded the use of the term over time to refer to various peoples in various contexts including non Black Muslim Africans as well as African Muslims from farther South. This is another example of Europeans making up terms to apply to peoples that did not use such terms for themselves, but now those terms get applied as a pejorative reference to the people in question. The term is not intended as a perfectly accurate ethnic or cultural reference as it is purely a foreign label made up by people who knew nothing about these people. The word Moor is both a romantic and demonic icon in European literary and artistic history and therefore has to be seen as such. Therefore, black Moors like Othello are eponymous black Africans, not Muslims, not North Africans but any black African, whereas other "Moors" are references to specific historical figures and populations that may or may not have all been black. Only you would ask a dumb question like that. Why don't you go ask why Europeans are called white? Does that mean there are Europeans who aren't white? [/QB][/QUOTE]
