[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] So? Some of those same Arab authors said Egyptian Cops were 'black'. Presumably, these Copts were more consistently light brown back then, making it easier for Al-Jahiz to generalize this entire community as lighter skinned 'blacks'. Such a description obviously doesn't apply anymore to Copts in general. Can we say based on this description that any dark skinned man in modern Egypt owes his dark skin to those medieval Copts? Of course not. There have been all sort of darker skinned communities in Egypt since then, including recently migrated Nubians. It's no different in the Maghreb. Those descriptions of medieval and Greek authors don't have a straightforward relevancy to all dark skin in the Maghreb today as modern day Berbers aren't straight forward descendants of the ancient people in the Maghreb. Someone you describe as a 'black Berber' could have some ancestors [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=009525;p=1#000009]with no ties to North Africa[/URL]. And if you read the same Pliny and other texts you're mentioning, you would know that light skin is more ancient in the Maghreb than Barbary pirates. So how can you make two convenient checkboxes of 'hybrid partial descendants of European slaves' and 'non hybrid black Berber'? [/QB][/QUOTE]
