He was speaking on being enslaved and escaping from slavery from "Arabs". He went on to talk about how nasty they were and brought up other dark skinned people people in Sudan 'Even Darker than his own ethnic group' who were also being raided by Arabs. He was speaking of the Fur in Darfur. [/qb][/QUOTE]Are you saying he called the Fur people Arabs? [/qb][/QUOTE]No, sorry if i didn't make that clear. The FUR were ALSO being enslaved by Arabs. But he noted the Fur were Darker than the Dinka. From OUR standpoint, and the standpoint of many Westerners regardless of the nuance they have we likely see ALL of them as some of the darkest people on the continent. [/qb][/QUOTE]. This is why I miss last millennium's anthropology, ethnology, and geography publications and reels. There were always picture of the people under review. Cavilli-Sforza put an end to all that. I was surprised and dismayed when I found it at a bookseller. You could use it in place of dumbbells. Yet, it had not a single photo of any of the world's people reported on in its overflow of pages. I recommend, and I thought ESers did, google the peoples in these genetic/genomic etc articles to see what they look like. A lot of racial mythology of the negro would instantly disappear when viewing the array of facial features in individual local geographical ethnic groups / speakers of the same 'mother tongue' and in many geographic regions.
