History: When Black Men Ruled the World

It's quite unfortunate that, now, our own generation has been brainwashed to feel inferior the people we once ruled and dominated. Ever since they succeeded in taking away the unity among the black race, they've always succeed in puppetting us as they desire. Most Africans do not even know that we once ruled Europe. Little wonder some of our brainwashed people sold their birthright and now moronically copy virtually anything (good, bad and ugly) Westerners. Read your history: We black Moors enslaved white Europeans long before we were enslaved and also had white harems which pleasured us. Black Moors then civilized the white barbarians, graciously teaching the caucasoid cave-dwellers, Science an Arabic numerical system that is still being used now, algebra and beautiful architecture that was and still is superior to anything that these caucasion savages had previously built.
Europeans and Generations of Spanish rulers have tried to expunge this era from the historical record, recent archeology and scholarship now shed fresh light on the Moors who flourished in Al-Andalus for more than 700 years – from 711 AD until 1492. The Moorish advances in mathematics, astronomy, art, and agriculture helped propel Europe out of the Dark Ages and into the Renaissance.
Enormous large of blacks first invaded and settled down in Spain about 3,000 years ago after a devastating drought that the initial white European settlers found difficult to survive. After the drought era, the whites comeback. The second major intrusion of an African Army into Spain before the Moors, occurs sometime around 700 B.C. during the period of the 25th Dynasty in Egypt, when the Ethiopian Taharka was a young general, but before he was succeeded to the throne by his uncle Shabataka. Finally, movement of Africans into Europe in significantly large numbers and into positions of real power, occurred during the invasion of Spain in 711 A.D. African Moors boldly invaded white caucasion Europe and conquered the portuguese, Spanish Italian and Southern French. The Moors then ruled Europe in great wealth, power, dominance, prosperity and authority. Right from 711, the Moors had dominant grip and authority on Europe, especially the area today known as Gibraltar, most of Spain and Portugal, and parts of Southern France from where they ruled and influenced other parts of Europe. There was also a Moorish presence in what is now Southern Italy, primarily in Sicily. They occupied Mazara on Sicily in 827[2] and in 1224 were expelled to the settlement of Lucera, which was destroyed in 1300.
Author and historian Chancellor Williams said “the original Moors, like the original Egyptians, were black Africans.”
The 16th century English playwright William Shakespeare used the word Moor as a synonym for African. His contemporary Christopher Marlowe also used African and Moor interchangeably.
Arab writers further buttress the black identity of the Moors. The powerful Moorish Emperor Yusuf ben-Tachfin is described by an Arab chronicler as “a brown man with wooly hair.”
Black soldiers, specifically identified as Moors, were actively recruited by Rome, and served in Britain, France, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. St. Maurice, patron saint of medieval Europe, was only one of many black soldiers and officers under the employ of the Roman Empire.
The Moors brought enormous learning to Spain that over centuries would percolate through the rest of Europe.
The intellectual achievements of the Moors in Spain had a lasting effect; education was universal in Moorish Spain, while in Christian Europe, 99 percent of the population was illiterate, and even kings could neither read nor write. At a time when Europe had only two universities, the Moors had seventeen, located in Almeria, Cordova, Granada, Juen, Malaga, Seville, and Toledo.
In the 10th and 11th centuries, public libraries in Europe were non-existent, while Moorish Spain could boast of more than 70, including one in Cordova that housed hundreds of thousands of manuscripts. Universities in Paris and Oxford were established after visits by scholars to Moorish Spain.
It was this system of education, taken to Europe by the Moors, that seeded the European Renaissance and brought the continent out of the 1,000 years of intellectual and physical gloom of the Middle Ages. I earnestly look forward to a united black race.
Africa UNITE!

Ok, so what do we do now? Invade Europe and America?! *sharpening axe*

The Muslims of the Iberian Peninsula, who ruled Spain between 711 and 1492 C.E., are commonly known as the Moors. They called their land Andalus which in the early period of their history also included Portugal and southern France and in the last period only the Kingdom of Granada. The word Andalusia is derived from the Arabic word Al-Andalus which has several meanings. One of them is ‘to become green after a long summer or drought,’ and the history of the Iberian Peninsula over the ages attests to this phase when Muslims ruled Spain.
In the earliest setback in southern France, the Muslims were defeated at Tours-Poitiers (about two-thirds of the way to Paris) during the month of Ramadan in 732 CE. This place is known as 'The Pavement of the Martyrs' and in Muslim cronicles as Balaat ash-Shuhada'. Muslim control of Toulouse, Narbonne, Lyon and nearby territories varied from time to time, as some of the territories were lost, regained, and then lost. This went on until 975 C.E.
The word Moors is a corrupted word referring to the people who came from Morocco. The Christians of the Iberian Peninsula began to use this term exclusively for Muslims when the Muslims lost administrative control of northern parts of Spain and Portugal. Later, other words such as Moriscos and Mudejares were used for them beginning in the mid-thirteenth century.
When Muslims first arrived in Spain in 711 C.E., they constituted mainly Arabs and Berbers of North Africa. Within two decades a majority of the inhabitants of Andalus, especially most of the Unitarian Christians and the oppressed class, accepted Islam freely in recognition of the peace, security and the freedom of religion and expression under the Muslim rule. (Gothic Princess Sara). By 770 C.E. people of all races from North Africa and Arabia migrated to Andalusia (Spain and Portugal). They intermarried with various nationalities including the native Spanish-Muslim population, with the result that Spain became a fairly homogeneous country within a few generations. During the reign of Abdur-Rahman, the 'Falcon of Andalus' (755-788), they began the work of building an Islamic civilization similar to the one already flourishing in Damascus, Baghdad and its many regional centers. Within a century of their activity, they had developed a civilization far in advance of any in Europe. Their great contribution is commonly known as the Moorish Civilization.

Princess Meritaten, daugther of Pharoah Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti, sailed away in political exile,
all the way to Ireland sometime between 1400 to 1350 BC to become Princess Scotia, after whom Scotland is named,
because at that most of Europe (except the Nothernmost part) was firmly in control of the Egyptian Empire.

@op u see the present generation of black are as calm and slow no one excluded. we let go of our stand, aside your story, we look too keen, take step slow...
check yahoo stories about Africa and u will read a whole lot about us... sad I said...

but am happy on the other side that, that same generation is passing on and we the upcoming ones aren't going to take rubbish

Musa of Mali was also black

Africans unite, and fight your white and black oppressors!

hahn:
A united black race!

Hmmm, I like the sound of that

UNITE THE BLACK RACE?

We are getting there bit-by-bit!

Remember Patrice Lumumba?
Quame Nkrumah? Thomas Sankara? Muritala Muhammed? ..just to name a few Africans who tried to "do something for Africa"!


Now YOU KNOW WHY MUAMAR GHADAFI WAS KILLED AND HIS FAMILY DECIMATED!

Not that thrash you watch on CNN about "killing Protesters or Democracy" (can you even call the revolt/insurgency and tribal war originating from Benghazi, a democratic revolt?)

Africans (l mean our Youths), should read about those days when just to make a phone call from Nigeria to Ghana next door, you have to queue in NITEL for like six hours and that call will cost you half of your Monthly Salary because the call is first routed to Europe or America, from Nigeria and then back to Ghana next door! (Stewpid, right?)

.... and "read-up" on What Ghadafi did via "Africa must have its own under-sea Cable to channel its communications "DIRECT" between its member states and the external world.

FYI, Europe and America slammed us with a horrendous "Billion Dollar Bill" and it was Ghadafi who championed this effort by Putting down HALF OF THE MONEY; in CASH!
Nigeria was the second largest donor with about a "Quarter" of this bill...and other African states chipped-in the rest.
So, next time you make that "International Call or Internet", REMEMBER THAT "Dictator" called Maumar Ghadafi!.

If it was about Democracy, Libya would not be a failed state and a terrorist haven right now, ..three years after the "West Liberated" them from Ghadafi.

Those who dont know their "history", .....are like Goats wondering in the deserts.... they wont know until they see themselves in the paws of a Lion! (Its a Proverb!)

Lastpage!

BTW: Lets start the UNITY from our own NIGERIA (IGBO, YORUBA, HAUSA, MINORITIES)... afterall "charity they say, starts from home"!

I always feel a certain kind of joy come over me when I see topics like this. Africa would do better as a whole being one people. We don't necessarily have to be one country, but we can be one nation whereby we have a central military,central language, central resource control body, central currency, central economy etc. That way,we all live truly as brothers because if something affects any part of Africa,it affects all the parts of Africa & if one part of Africa progresses, all parts of Africa progresses. That reminds me of the word "ubuntu" from our brothers in southern Africa. Ubuntu translates to "human-ness" but it is used to portray the saying: "I am what I am because of who we all are".

I'm still trying to do a little study on the now defunct USSR to see if there's any way we can come up with a union like that for Africa. Keyword there is "study"...I might as well even come up with ideas/opinions way better and not even related to the former USSR.

WHY WILL WE PROGRESS WHEN THE FU.KIN MODS DONT WANT TO PUT THIS INFORMATIVE THREAD ON FRONT PAGE!!! INSTEAD YOU WILL SEE THREADS OF WHAT DAVIDO LOOK LIKE WHEN HE WAS IN SEC. SCHOOL OR AN OLODO WHO PROPOSES WITH IPHONES!!!
CLUELESS PEOPLE EVERY WHERE!!!!!!

Lol... my broda, I tire o! I still find it hard to believe that such a wonderful thread like this has not yet been moved to FP. I think NairaLand should be more involved in uniting the nation, reversing the brainwashed/colonial mentality, reversing the nefarious ills of tribalism and helping young Africans to discover/appreciate our united Glorious Identity and self-esteem. It's about time!

Seun and the rest of the moderators,can you please move this thread to the front page?? Haba! Most we beg?!! A thread as educative,thought provoking as this deserves fp.

Dis is virtually out of obscurity dat africans av once predominantly rule over europe.......it will be feasible nd not implausible 4 we 2 see a rigid united black race in time pass but imagine dis adage which says " u can take a black man out of africa but u can't take d mentality of a black man out of him " ......so d picture am tryin 2 paint here is dat we must immensely shrug off nd ditch out our differences irrespective of our regionalism, ethnicity, tribalism nd religious fundamentalism 4 we 2 becum one nd conquer d world once more nd if feasible 4eva .....we must painstakingly dig so deep into our heroic history 4 such an occurence.....africans can't coontinue 2 b inferior nd sub-ordinated 2 d white unless if we av d mentality of been dat way....let fathom dis out nd make it apun.

Them no go move am to frontpage o. They are afraid of the mad african resistance but God pass them. This thread has been very educative and insightful

WOW! But we seem to have lost touch though

LordaGuru:
Pls, everyone that read this should come up with at least one solution on how to unite the black nation. It's not impossible, China did it (China fought more wantonly bloody tribal and inter-tribal wars on disastrous scale than any other nation before they came to their sense and realize that they are one) and we all can see that. This very Year, China's economy was declared to have overtook that of USA to become the worlds No 1 strongest Economy.

There is only one solution.

Throw away every foreign religion and embrace your own.

Don't wait or hope for where to go when you die. Concentrate on where you live presently.

My view of black man:
"Black man is next to animal while white man is next to God" look around u, which of the techno-gadget ur using now that was produced by a black man?
Black man only trust his power like horses and Lions (animals) not his brain "sorry"

You can't be united if you don't give up those foreign religions...remnants of slavery and colonialism. But no! Blacks preferred the Jews/Arab gods, In fact we are now teaching them how to worship the gods they created. We are taking things to the extreme! I don't see blacks uniting any sooner until we take out foreign religions from our society. Oh! Just realized that isn't even possible...of course the average blacks is scared of the White god imaginary lake of fire and they also vehemently hope they will go inherit mansions up in the sky.

If you are a black Christian/Muslim you have real short memory.

Blacks can and will never be united. Being black is bad. Blacks are dumb, greedy and lazy. If you want black unity, then don't preach black unity to this generation cos this generation of blacks are dumb and hopeless and can't unite or fight for themselves. They prefer to play second fiddle and they're content with the fact that they've being relegated to the dustin bins of history. It's easier said that done. @op do yourself a favour and save your breath cos at the end of the day you'll just be wasting your time. Blacks are natural born cowards. I regret belonging to this dumb race.

See monkey telling us about his lineage. No wonder his family portrait is like the Planet of the Apes. Thanks for this info; I now know your father is a baboon and your mother is a bonobo.
