[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by [b]lamin[/b] responding to TypeZeiss: It all has to with desert and Sahel raiders like the Touareg attacking villages and kidnapping individuals whom they then use as lower caste/servant/slave workers. It is on this basis that the idea of dominant group and subordinate group arises. The people who were usually kidnapped lived in villages and practiced agriculture of some sorts. The Touareg are nomadic people living in movable tents which carry with them as they trek from place. Many of the original Touareg groups are of lighter complexion while those kidnapped were usually darker. Hence in the simple-minded brains of the Touareg dark pigmentation, as is the case with the vast majority of Malians is associated with subordination. [/QUOTE]. Reality is reality whether we like it or not. A scene common enough to Twareg and Maure alike.

[/qb][/QUOTE]Unfortunately lamin makes no sense as I have never heard of any one claiming the Tuareg to have "originally being lighter skinned" anything, except the Euroclowns. Tuareg are nomadic African people speaking Berber languages and descending from East Africans in Southern Egypt and Sudan. [/QB][/QUOTE]
