[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] Lord, I don't see how my post is either racist or historically inaccurate. Yes, Arabs do have pale and dark skinned people amongst them but this does not excempt them from any prejudice towards black Africans. Most often a ''black'' Arab will be treated differently than a ''black'' African such as a Central or Western African in Arabic speaking countries. Historically, Arabs have traded black slaves foriming a hierarchy of certain blacks compaired to others. In the Arab world during the middle ages Abyssianians and Nubians were preffered for concubinage while Bantus were mainly used as labor. From reading various Arabic medieval historians I came with the conclusion that Arabs considered black Africans to be inferior to themselves. Reading the same Arabic authors I also concluded Arabs also thought most northern and even some southern Europeans were culturally inferior. I suggest you also read Arabic epics like Antar and Bani Hilal which contain black Arab chracters which are disowned by their own fathers. Antar's mother was even a ''black'' slave and his father kept him in bondage. Please understand I never presented by view as gospel but only as theories to why many Arabs have disdain for black Africans. A little bit of my own experiances as a Egyptian is also interjected after witnessing anti-black prejudiced in a diverse countries like Egypt and Maghreb. Even though my skin color is quite dark I am excempt from most of the taunts towards black Africans because I don't look like a typical Western or Central African. People in both Egypt and Maghrebian countries actually taunt people that are extremely black. People hurl Arabic insults like heebab which means literally ''dirt' in Arabic. I also want to establish that I am not biased nor have any resentment towards Arabs. The colorism and prejudice in the Arab world is wrong. Having an open discussion about such issues will hopefully lead to better understanding. [/QB][/QUOTE]
