[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] Supercar,he is talking about the term Sudan which Arabs reffer to most parts of Africa as Bilad Al Sudan. Contrary to popular belief that Arabic word Sudan did not internally mean black,for it comes from the word Sudd which meant blockage in Arabic. This term reffered to the impassable swamp around southern Sudan. The arabic terms for blackness mean different things that what people think. Plenty of Arabs around the Gulf area look like African Americans including Bandar Bin Sultan but none would be called iswad[black]. When Arabs refer to somebody as Iswad they mean somebody that is extremely black like the southern Sudanese. Even amungst the southern Sudanese there are people who would not be Iswad. You have to look at it from the perpective from the person who is giving the description. [/QB][/QUOTE]
