[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by claus3600: [qb] @lioness 'the quote about Moors being "quite black" does not mean that they were of African descent or not of African descent in the context it was used it meant dark skin relative to Europeans.' Not sure I understand what you're attempting to say here, but surely a reference to a group of people in Africa as being 'quite black', -with 'quite' apparently having an emphatic meaning akin to 'very', or 'particularly'- is to suggest African ancestry? In the same way that a reference to a people in Europe being 'quite white' would suggest very white-skinned indicate European ancestry? [/qb][/QUOTE]show me a tribe of people who are straight haired (not bushy) and "quite" black. . [/qb][/QUOTE]Some people on this site have called the Woodabe Fulani straight-haired; it apparently doesn't mean the same as modern African Americans would use it. since you are so concerned about how African Americans use things. :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
