[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Son of Ra: [qb] I'm checking right now. Though the Libyan "blacks" could be "Arabized" like those Sudanese people who claim Arab yet look like this. [IMG]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NR48UcL2XMI/TUw2hyvrvII/AAAAAAAABOI/q4Slia_PLq4/s1600/Sudanese%2Bfolks.jpg[/IMG] On the census they could just choose "Arab" instead "black". [/qb][/QUOTE]Interesting point. It must be remembered that notions of "black" are different in North Africa. Where many who would be called 'black' in America would NOT in North Africa but be called 'Arab' or 'Berber' instead. We have cited studies before showing that Libya overall has demographics more in common with Egypt than the rest of the Maghreb. Recently I've seen videos of Libya during and after the revolution against Qaddafi and the people look just like Egyptians i.e. lighter-skinned mixed to even off-white people along the northern coasts with blacks being more common in the south around the Fezzan area though not exclusive to that area since 'blacks' are still not uncommon around northern cities like Tripoli and Benghazi. That said, at least from all the videos I've seen, Saif would indeed be correct that about half the population is or rather would be considered 'black' by Western standards. This is no secret. Even Euros on the other side of the Mediterranean in Greece, Albania, and Italy still call Libyans names like 'moros' or 'negras'. But of course, reality is something that is not taken into account by Euronut lyinasses. [IMG]http://fanack.com/uploads/pics/libya_ethnic-map1_318px_03.jpg[/IMG] ^ The map above gives a rough ethnic demographic layout of Libya. Of course the Tuareg are a Berber ethnic group as well so 'Berber' in the map really means [i]other[/i] Berber groups. Considering the FACT that both Tuareg and Toubou groups are indeed 'black' and the majority of the populace classified as 'Arab' also includes 'black' types or mixed black types then there would be little doubt as to Saif Qaddafi's claims.
