[QUOTE]Originally posted by markellion: [QB] I wouldn't be interested in it but Berber people like Ibn Battuta talk about it. Was this concept completely introduced by Arabs? Also I'm not saying there is a rigid division between people "white" or "black" or anything else and I'm trying to be sensitive to the beliefs of the people we are talking about. This is from the end of page 75 Ibn Ibn Battuta is talking http://books.google.com/books?id=380NAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA75#PPA75,M1 [QUOTE]We marched from Karsekho and came to the river Sansarah, which is ten miles from Mali, and it being the custom of the country that no one enters there without asking leave, I wrote to the company of Whites, and to its chief, Mohammed ben Alfakih Algezuli, and also to Shemso-d-din, to engage me a lodging; and so, when I came to the river (Sansarah), I embarked in a canoe, and without further trouble, arrived at the city of Mali, the residence of the Sultan of Negroland; and, landing near the burial ground, I walked directly to the quarter of the Whites, and found Mohammed ben Alfakih, who had procured me a lodging opposite to his own house."
