[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: So therefore then:[following your style] what's the difference between "supra-Saharan" Africans and so-called "sub-Saharan Africans"?[/QUOTE]I'm going to answer this question a second time. When you again ignore the answer and repeat the question...I will then ignore the obtuseness [just a warning]. Supra -> greater than; to transcend. Sub -> less than; contained within, bounded by. The difference between supra and sub is that they are AN-TO-NYMS - opposites. ^ [i]Sub-sahara does not delimit -> African.[/i] - Keita. [/qb][/QUOTE]We know it does not delimit African, but he associates the compound word with African populations, thus implying that the people who live--which formerly were referred to as Black/ Negro--below the Sahara are a monolithic population. You are right the terms are the opposite. One term supra- implying a superior group while the other term sub- may imply an inferior group. Are you saying that the Black Africans are sub-(Saharan) Africans, while the Arab speaking Africans (SupraAficans) are Super Africans? Please explain why this is better than saying white or Arab/Berber Africans and Black Africans? These terms more precisely describe these populations. . [/QB][/QUOTE]
