[QUOTE]Originally posted by kembu: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by King_Scorpion: [b]Can someone tell me about them please. Were they arab or african? I know they were forced to convert, but someone I'm arguing with claims blacks never created anything...you know the typical racist. He brought up the Moors and I only know them by name.[/b][/QUOTE] They were African with slight Turkic (Ottoman Moslem) admixture. Phenotypically, they are not too far removed from the coastal Carthaginians. There are Moorish people in Mauritania, Mali, Western Sahara (Sarawi) and Tunisia. Watch the musical "Otello" starring Placido Domingo as Otello and pay close attention to the scene where he was taken as a slave in Africa by Arab horsemen. The depiction of the Moorish people in that scene is the most accurate I have seen to date. Well, of course, Placido had to be made over to resemble a Moor. His skin was darkened and his hair was made frizzier than it naturally is. I guess they used him for his voice. But they did quite a good job in trying to capture the Moorish phenotype. He might as well be cast as Hannibal. It's a great movie. My advice to you is, don't get into argument with people who make claims that black (African) people never created anything. Like their claim, they're pretty lame. So why waste your precious time on people like that. Let them wallow in their ignorance and stupidity. [/QB][/QUOTE]
