[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundjata: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by melchior7: If your intent is to claim that the invading Sanhaja berbers who invaded looked the same as the native Mauretanians [b]and that the term Bidan was no bearing at all on having lighter skin, than yeah..I would guess that you are dumber than me[/b].[/QUOTE]"[i]In this translation the term 'Sudan' refers to the land area, and 'sadan' to the people. Arabic- or Berber-speaking Saharans often refer to themselves, by contrast, as bidan-'whites'. As observed in the introduction, [b]these categories are referents of cultural practices rather than of skin colours[/b][/i].-- John Hunwick [/QB][/QUOTE]
