[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by S.Mohammad: [b] You still have not proven that Canaanites were black. Some of those dubbed as Asiatics and Semitic were of Syro-Palestinian origin(Canaanites, Phoenicians). These people were Semitic speakers, not Hamitic speakers. [/b][/QUOTE] I have no intention of proving that the Canaanites were black simply because I think that I have a firmer grasp of the history of Canaan than you do: Canaan was situated at the confluence of the two major continents of Africa and Asia. It has been a territory that has been disputed by diverse peoples from its inception. Today, it is being contested by Palestinians and Israelis. The christian bible (bible means a library or collection of books, and is an important historical reference source) tells us that the original inhabitants were the descendants of Ham (ie, Africans). This can be placed to at least 7000 bc where there is evidence of neolithic settlements. It subsequently fell under the control of the Amorites, the Israelites, the Philistines, and the Phoenicians. Consequently, there is no such absolute as a "Canaanite." Is there anything about this that you don't understand? A) I also asked you to define the Hausa term "Sabon Gari" and you merely told me what I already knew, that it's where non-Hausa Africans lived in Hausaland. My own understanding is that it literally means "strangers quarters" which I think helps corroborate my interpretation of the Egyptian word "Nahas" to mean "strangers, or barbarians" and is an African convention of one African people labeling other Africans. B) Usman Dan Fodio created the Fulani empire. [/QB][/QUOTE]
