[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: Excuse me, but doesn't the majority of the Maghrebi population live alongside the Mediterranean coast? Of course there are Black African groups scattered around the Sahara (albeit most are probably mixed with Arabs and northern Berbers by now), but the phenotypically "Mediterranean" people might outnumber these simply by virtue of occupying the most habitable space. [b]While I can understand why Black African people might want[/b] Hannibal Barca and the Moors as part of their collective heritage , in truth coastal Northwest Africa isn't the best place to look if you're interested in indigenous African urban cultures (or "civilizations"). Carthage started out as a Phoenician colony and the Moors were champions of Arabian Islamic culture more than anything else. Before these strong Eurasian influences, I'm not aware of any urban cultures or monumental architecture in Mediterranean North Africa. If anything, the sub-Saharan peoples have a better track record of indigenous urban developments than the Berbers. It's primarily due to colonization and influences from Punic, Greco-Roman, and Arab cultures that coastal Northwest Africa has any urban heritage at all. [/QUOTE]Of course you are right. For the record, [b]Djehuti[/b] , [b]Tukuler[/b] and [b]typeZeiss[/b] while having the right to believe foolish things if they want are [b]not[/b] black Africans. They are fake. Their point of view is [b]not[/b] the point of view of most Maghrebian people either as they don't consider themselves black Africans for the most part. We can assume, as any people, they are very proud of their heritage (from the Middle East, Europe and Africa). I wish people wouldn't feel like they have to fake their way into those type of discussions. [/QB][/QUOTE]
