Kobojunkie:
➜ I posted that earlier, but you were indignant that it had to be false.

2. Stop making sheet up! There are no census records to show what you claim, as the Saudis didn't really keep records on such, only much recently.

Yes! There were indeed census!

Kobojunkie:
What you posted there explicitly states that the Moors were of African and European descent, same as a good portion of the Arab world today, including Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, Libya, etc. However, if I am not mistaken, your original claim was that the Moors were a black people. So, where does it say this in your post?

You don't understand. These were BLACK AFRICANS. By European they mean they were living in Europe!

Kobojunkie:
Now you have switched over to headlines instead of the numbers now? 😒😒😒

Just to show there is no comparison. You're just grabbing at straws AND YOU KNOW IT! No other country will you find such

Bluna:
What Pele did in football was far amazing than any footballer of this era. I don't know which generation you belong though.
As for Ronaldo, I'm referring to your earlier comment when you asked for the greatest between Pele, Messi and Maradona. I'm telling you that Maradona should not be in the list because Ronaldo is more accomplished than Maradona. Stop looking for what I didn't say Mr Man.

Ok, I misunderstood you about Ronaldo and Maradona.
As for Pele, we are talking SKILL. Who has the greater footballing SKILL? Messi not Pele!

Kobojunkie:
AI does not say what you claim, especially since the term Arab world would include Arabized states like Somalia, Sudan, Mauritania, Djibouti, and Comoros...which are essentially populated by majority black, though the local culture and languages have been greatly influenced by Arabs from the Middle East.

Forget all those. To help you out I went to the heart of Arab world - Saudi Arabia. See result below. And it's always been about so, NOT drop from 40% to near zero!

Kobojunkie:
1. Oh! So, now the team demographics are based on what the neighbors do? Ok, let's check its other neighbors! Clearly, there is no set-in-stone pattern here to be seen.

➜ Chile - There are typically zero to two black players in the standard Chile national football team squad, as the country's demographics are predominantly composed of White-Latin American, Indigenous, and Mestizo populations.
➜ Bolivia - There are typically zero to a few black players on the Bolivia national soccer team, as Afro-Bolivians make up a very small percentage of the country's overall population.
➜ Uruguay - There are currently 4 black players on the official Uruguay national soccer team (La Celeste).
➜ Paraguay - There are zero Paraguay players on the Uruguayan men's national soccer team. The squad is composed entirely of players representing Uruguay, though some, like goalkeeper Gastón Olveira, play their club soccer in Paraguay

Produce another country anywhere (Not just South America) with the following types of headlines

Bluna:
Pele for me.
I have the opportunity of watching the 3 of them at their prime. I was still very young during the days of Pele though.

As for Maradona, he is no way better or more famous than Ronaldo. Don't forget he was a drug user. Ronaldo is clean, no doping controversy.

Why do you people keep bringing up Ronaldo when Messi is mentioned? They're NOT in same league. Messi is better than Pelle if you'd be honest. How many goals did Pele curve into the net from a distant free kick?

Kobojunkie:
You saw you were not getting anywhere, and then suddenly decided to throw down a brain fart?😒

Is this supposed delusion of yours the reason why the Arabs in the Middle East effectively ensured blacks would not multiply for over 1000 years in the region?

Brain fart?
I told you to ask AI for help.
See it below

Kobojunkie:
The people shown are supposedly Argentinians. You also posted random pictures of poeple with captions claiming they were black Saudis, did you not?

Why not ask AI for help. At least 10% of Arab world are black Africans and has stayed steady. You are comparing that to a country that had 40% but now has almost zero

Kobojunkie:
Similar in that they all made the decision together to ensure that blacks did not get the chance to procreate in their land?

2. Argentina has zero blacks? You mean the soccer team? How many whites, Arabs, East or West Asians are on the Nigerian, Ghanaian, Camerounian, etc teams?

No, not just the soccer team. Argentine has less than 1% blacks yet it used to be 40%.
All those countries you mentioned are neighbors and comparable. Argentina and Brazil are neighbors, night and day

Bluna:
.

WHO is greater in the history of the sport?

Kobojunkie:
Oh, all you need are a few images to win the debate? OK! The following as also images of black Argentinians.😒

These re just random photos. Who are these people and where are they from?

Kobojunkie:
All of those Arab countries, for over 1000 years, used blacks(over 10 million of them) as slaves to fight their many wars, plow their fields, and service their libidos. Yet, not a single one of those same Arab countries to date has a black population of more than 10% to date. And you never thought that was odd?

➜ Saudi Arabia: Afro-Saudis, who often trace their ancestry back to the Arab slave trade or historical pilgrimages, make up approximately 10% of the country's citizenry.
➜ Yemen: Afro-Yemenis and marginalized groups of African descent (such as the Al-Akhdam) constitute an estimated 2% to 10% of the population.
➜ Iraq & Jordan: Both countries have smaller but long-established Afro-Arab populations, making up generally low single-digit percentages of their overall demographics
➜ The Gulf States: In countries like the UAE, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar, the Black population also includes a high percentage of recent Sub-Saharan African expatriates and migrant workers.

Don't forget black people of African descent ruled Europe for over 700 years

123readygo:
My support for Argentina started from the days Diego Amando Maradona but the emergence of Messi strengthened my love for that country

But you do hate their racism, right?

franvincoop:
Yes, it had different names
USA - segregation under Jim Crow
UK - puritanism under Oliver Cromwell
Germany - The Nuremberg Laws
Latin America - Mestizaje/Blancheamiento

Don't come here blaming only Argentina, the whole American continent had official state whitening policies except Haiti.

Yeah? So how come there are lots of blacks in all those places but none in Argentina??

Bluna:
I'm a CR7 fan, but you see Messi, na baller ⚽ 💯
You can't love football and hate Messi

Gbam! You said it all. GOAT

But notice they're all similar. Not like how Brazil is next door to Argentina and has lots of blacks while Argentina has zero!

Yeah? So how come Brazil next door to Argentina has tons of blacks, Argentina zero

Bluna:
Messi is not Argentina. I don't hate Messi.

Voila!
Same goes for vast majority of us

Kobojunkie:
Stop making stuff up! They do not! They maintain the same ancient detest for blacks to this day. The same pattern is visible throughout much of the Arab majority countries of Islam.

Then who are these below?

Kobojunkie:
Are Nigerians not equally some of the most racist beings on the planet? 😒😒😒

Do you know the definition of "racist" at all?
Nigerians are NOT racist

MemphitzDgreat1:
I f**king HATE both the Argentinian nation team and their Portuguese counterpart

But NOT Messi, right? Same with vast majority of us

geoworldedu:
We are exact same in this. I remember supporting Luis Figo in those days and detesting Ortega and Batistuta simply because of the country they came from. Fast forward to 2006 upward, my support for Messi began from Barcelona then to Argentina till date. Once Messi is out, bye bye.

You simply recognized greatest of all time when you experienced it

Kobojunkie:
Have you read the history of slaves in Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, and Egypt, too? They too did away with their black slaves but kept their white slaves alive to breed with. This practice literally took place across much of the Islamic world for over 1000 years.

But that's ancient history. Today they have lots of blacks

Karleb:
With Messi, I dey support them?

You speak for vast majority of us

Wizardslayer:
Go to south Africa and see what black skin national from other countries passing through in the hands of black south Africans.

BLACKS HATING ON BLACKS.

They're not necessarily hating them, they just want them to go home because they're more hardworking and therefore preferred by employers

tellwisdom:

Is that a young Messi in the photo?

Iykemaniykomo:
If not for Messi, nothing concern me with Argentina. I've always been an Italy fan

You speak for vast majority of Nigerians. Why Italy?

ViceGovernor:
Even with FIFA's first child we don't support them, how can we support Arhentina without him 😏

Don't throw the child out with the bathwater

Emeskhalifa:
People that killed all their black slaves coz they don't want to have blacks like America, Mexico, Brazil

Go and read their history

Used to have a friend from there and she admitted that there is a lot of Racism in their country

They used them as cannon fodder in their war for independence, putting them in front unarmed, then decimated them in other ways, then imported waves of whites. Genius but diabolical

chopnaira:
With ot without Messi, I cant support Argentina.
Football: They dont play fair.
It is also one of the most racist country in the world..so racist they have refuge to Nazi soldiers fleeing Europe after 2nd world War 2. Several decades after, nothing has changed.

But you do have to acknowledge the greatest to ever play the game, regardless

Okechinwadike:
you make a very valid point, why i like messi is just that he knows how to play football

He's simply the greatest of all time, followed by Pele, then Maradona
