[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by cassiterides: [qb] ''White Moors= wiggers'' ==== Obviously false, since we have classical sources describing Moorish populations as white skinned and fair haired. Procopius, History of the wars, IV. xiii.26-29 And I have heard this man say that beyond the country which he ruled there was no [29-36] habitation of men, but desert land extending to a great distance, and that beyond that there are men, not black-skinned like the BlackaMoors, but [b]very white in body and fair-haired[/b]. So much, then, for these things. [/qb][/QUOTE]Now nothing you said can be trusted, as far as I am concerned. Why did you put the above lie on this forum stating Procopius used the British phrase "BlackaMoor". That is sickening and I would say despicable if it wasn't so funny. lol! The translations of Procopius say "...and that beyond that there are men, not BLACK-SKINNED LIKE THE MOORS, but very white in body and fair-haired. So much then for these things. " Loeb and other translations In the nearby paragraphs Procopius mentions some of the Moorish rulers of Aurasium (the Aures of North Eastern Algeria) Ortaius, Massonas, Mastinas and Maphanius. While on other pages he mentions other Moorish rulers. "the Moors wrested Aurasium from the Vandals". You Eurowacks can write, misinterpret and mistanslate anything you want. That isn't going to change facts like the one that Moors/Mauri, Maurusioi are never ever called white anything by Greeks, Romans, and other early Europeans. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
