[QUOTE]Originally posted by Evil Euro: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by [b]alTakruri[/b]: the quote which says nothing about dark hair or dark complexion but does say pitch black faces like a frying pan.[/QUOTE] So what? . . . "Using similar faulty methods, Afrocentrists might as well say Jews in the Middle Ages were 'black' because Joseph ben Nathan in the 13th century quoted his father as saying 'we Jews come from a pure, white source, and so our faces are black.' Of course to do this would be to ignore the fact that in medieval Europe as in ancient Greece, black often meant 'swarthy.' [b]Likewise, Afrocentrists could insist that 12th-century Turks were 'black' on the basis of their being exaggerated as 'blacker than pitch or ink' in the epic [i]Chanson d'Aspremont[/i][/b]. But we know on the basis of physical remains and ample pictorial evidence that neither the Jews nor Turks were actually 'black' in medieval times."
