You're talking rubbish. The original Berbers were blacks. The ''white look'' came from interbreeding with caucasoid ''visitors''.


Excerpts:


The Appearance of the Original Berbers According to European Perceptions

5th century AD - “The Moors have bodies black as night, while the skin of the Gauls is white, " written by Isidore of Seville from The Etymologies of Isidore of Seville - by Steven A. Barney published 2007. p. 386

10th to 11th century AD Iraqi Physician Ibn Butlan wrote, “The Berber women are from the island of Barbara, which is between the west and the south. Their color is mostly black though some pale ones can be found among them. If you can find one whose mother is of Kutama, whose father is of Sanhaja, and whose origin is Masmuda, then you will find her naturally inclined to obedience and loyalty in all matters… “ cited in Gender and sexuality in the Middle Ages by Martha A. Brożyna p. 303 2005.

14th century - Sir John Mandeville had written : Though men of Nubia be Christian, they be as the Moors from the great heat of the sun, written by English Knight, Sir John Mandeville, (died 1372). See chapter 7 of the Travels of Sir John Mandeville (Penguin Classics).


Introduction

All the early major Berber tribes including the Masmuda, Sanhaja, Ketama Zenata and Nafusa are described as dark reddish brown like the “Indi’ or as “blacks” or Ethiopians in early documents. T[b]he notion of the early Berbers as being “whites” or Caucasoid is a new and racist one related to the concept of the African “Hamite”. Certainly the original Berber-speakers were never referred to as anything but “black”[/b] or something near it until the 12th century and were otherwise considered the color of Abyssinians and other so called “Indi”.

Even the Kabyles a notoriously fair-skinned “Berber” people of North Africa are up until the 19th century described as “brown” "apart from a few clans". (See quotes below). The knowledge that Europeans were changing the complexion literally and figuratively of North Africa up until the 19th century has disappeared from modern European histories. Most know about the large part played by sub-saharan black slaves in the making of modern North Africa and Arabia while the white slave trade which was in fact dominant trade in North Africa until the fall of Constantinople (Istanbul in Turkey) in the 15th century had been largely ignored in historical writings of the 20th. Yet it was only a few centuries ago that Europeans visiting North Africa commenting on the fact that, “on almost every street of the cities of Barbary, Europeans could be seen harnessed to carts like draught horses or selling water from jars loaded on the backs of donkeys”.

1809 Commentary on those called “Moors” by an early 19th century observer: “They carry the Christian captives about the desert to the different markets to sell them for they soon discover that their habits of life render them unserviceable , or very inferior to the black slaves of Timbuktoo. “ from An Account of the Empire of Marocco, by J. G. Jackson published 1809 and 1814.

2003 - “From 1500 to 1650 when trans-Atlantic slaving was still in its infancy more Europeans were taken to Barbary than black African slaves to the Americas. See, Robert Davis Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy, 1500-1800, MacMillan Publishers, published 2003.

The impact of the white slave trade and its contribution to the modern biology and appearance of the modern North African stems from before the Arabian and Muslim waves into Africa. The Roman ruler Claudian spoke concerning Gildo, the “Moorish” ruler of Africa and treatment of Roman women from the Levant by this North African chief and his countrymen:

4th century - Claudian wrote, “ when tired of each noblest matron Gildo hands her over to the Moors. These Sidonian mothers, married in Carthage city must needs mate with barbarians. He thrusts upon me an Ethiopian as a son-in law, a Berber as a husband. The hideous hybrid affrights its cradle.” Claudian, by Claudius Claudianus, translation by Maurice Platnauer, published by G.P. Putnam's sons, 1922 p. 113. (Gildo was brother to other Berber chiefs Firmus and Maseczel. Gildo is related to Aguellid or Galdi which remains the modern Tuarek word for chief. Masek, Amazigh ot Imoshagh was the name for the ancient and modern Tuareg clans in general. The Mezikes tribes were called “Ethiopians” in Roman texts of the time. )

1st c. A.D. - “Diodorus Siculus speaks in reference to the expedition of Agathocles a Sardinian general, of three Libyan tribes on the coast of Tunisia, the Micatani and Zufoni (see Zafan ),who were nomads and the Asfodelodi, who by the color of their skin resembled the Ethiopians” , p. 50 The Mediterranean Race Book XX, 38, 57 Guiseppe Sergi, 1901. The Micatani were also called Ukutameni and Khethim by Josephus. In later writings they are called Ketama Berbers. The name Maketa or Imakitan remains a name for the eastern branches of the Tuareg.

1st century A.D.– Marcus Valerian Martial was one of the earliest Europeans to use the phrase “woolly hair like a Moor” in one of his Satires, and the phrase was commonly used up until the Middle Ages. See Nature Knows No Color Line by J.A. Rogers, 1952. p. 50 The Muslim era didn’t begin until the birth of Muhammed, the Prophet, over four centuries after Martial. By the 7th century the word came to be used for Arabians who in the early era of Islam for the most part also of “black” complexion.

1st century Silius Italicus also describes the Moors with the term ‘Nigra’ meaning black. In the 3rd century Roman dramatist Platus or Plautus maintained the name Maure was a synonym for “Niger” which another common term for the blacks in Europe. 6th century Isidore Archbishop of Seville claimed the word Maure meant black according to Brunson and Runoko Rashidi in “The Moors in Antiquity” in Golden Age of the Moor, 1991.

6th A.D.- Corippus uses the phrase “facies nigroque colorus” meaning faces or appearance of black color to describe the North African Berbers. In his book Johannis, I/ 245.

6th A.D. - Procopius in his History of the Wars book IV contrasting the Germanic Vandals who had settled in North Africa with the Maures claimed the Vandals were not “black skinned like the Maurusioi” . The tribes he classified as Maurusioi are those called the Numidians, Masaesyle, Gaitules, Massyles and Mezikes several other “Berber” tribes then settled between Tunisia and Morocco.

9th century - According to old Norse Saga Danish (Viking) raiders attacked Spain from Ireland the saga says: “From the latter place they ‘carried off a great host of them as captives to Erin and these are the blue men of Ireland (fir goma of Erin) for Mauri is the same as black man, and Mauritania is the same as blackness…Long indeed were these blue men in Erin.’” Jack D. Forbes, Black Africans and Native Americans (New York : Basil Blackwell, 1988),p. 68. Another transalation says “because the Moors are the same as Negroes; Mauretanis is the same as Negro-land.”

After the 8th century the term Moor came to be used for the many Arabian clans who had invaded the Mediterranean and Africa because of their complexions which were the same dark brown or near black to absolutely black color of the Berbers. Most of the Moors in Spain were in fact the people also first known as “the Arabians”.

Berbers are the indigenous peoples of North Africa west of the Nile Valley. They are discontinuously distributed from the Atlantic to the Siwa oasis, in Egypt, and from the Mediterranean to the Niger River.

Hi all,

this is my first post here and I must admit that I registered just because I read some "astonishing" things said in this topic, so please bare with me  smiley

To make things short (and sorry, I didn't follow all the discussion), I'm Algerian (you've probably guessed that), I'm Arab (which is NOT an ethnicity!) even if arabic, as MILLIONS of north africans, is NOT my mother tongue and my ethnicity is from Africa even if I'm whiter than many Westerners. Yeah, that's right, saying African ethnicity=black people is as true as saying Asian ethnicity=slanting eyes people.

So why North Africans call black people "Africans"? Well this has to do with History and politic correctness. The popular name there is just "Black people" but it seems that some think that is offensive (while "white people" isn't!!!) so they don't use it in media. For the History part, the name "Africa" was originally meant by Greek/Romans to call JUST North Africa where people have always been white as all mediteraneans, then it was used by Arabs (the real ones this time) to call "Tunisia" of nowadays and finally by Europeans during colonisation for the whole continent minus the northern countries which were called affectionately the "Barbarian States".

Btw, slaves in North Africa (at least the Turkish/Ottoman part) were White Europeans, was it the same in "Black Africa"?  undecided
Welcome to nairaland

many people here dont know anything about North Africa. they think the word Africa = Black and people in North Africa are invaders


many people here dont know that North Africans are a majority Berber people who are indigenous Africans like the "black" people of the South

They wrongly assume that North Africans are invaders because of the skin colour which they are not

The word Africa never even referenced "black" people, but originally refered to North Africa

ROSSIKE's analysis is right on the money. I don't know how of history you guys studied, but just look at it from Southern Sudan' s supporters of APC to our own Othman dan Fodio's massacre of black African's in the name of first religion, then in the name of "brotherly love"

Someone said ROSSIKE lives in the past, the person is obviously a fool, because it's only a fool that will proceed to the future without learning from the past lipsrsealed
Otthoman Dan Fodio was a Fulani just like west African Fulani's so i dont get the reference to him at all. people kill people for different reasons. Germans slaughter Britons, Japanese slaughter Chinese etc there is brutality all over the world

i assume you have done your research on how well, or otherwise native Zimbabweans were living before the whites took over? and again how they have been living since the whites left. also, you seem to ignore the fact that he killed thousands of BLACKS over decades. it's like the muslim extremists yelling about the evil westerner when they kill their fellow muslims in droves. reta rded.

also, you get me wrong. i am not saying that an African leader finally getting rid of the shackles of imperialism is a bad thing. i just cannot applaud mugabe because of WHO he is. i look at the broader picture. we are not talking about just any leader who got rid of apartheid and white oppression (by the way he didn't actually get rid of wht oppression after all, did he?) in his country. I am talking about MUGABE. to say 'no leader is perfect' when we're talking about such an evil entity is just ridiculous and makes you seem jaded. please watch any documentary about his rule and pay particular images to scenes of massacre and see if it doesn't appeal to your human side - but then you may say that that is all white man propaganda.

I have read the contents of ZIDERA. Yes, the western powers have fought a dirty came since the beginning, and of course they are not going to want to relinquish control and sovereignty. but we must learn to play the game, and if so fight dirty against the RIGHT PEOPLE. i don't know much about the politics of countries outside of Nigeria, but in Nigeria we cause so many problems for OURSELVES. when we can get our mindset right, then we can start to figure out how to fight against the system that was set up by and for the west. africa is a large continent - we should be in a position to lend help to fellow african countries, thus easing the reliance on western financial organisations. you can't complain about their presence in african countries and then at the same time whine about how they won't lend financial help to us. it's give and take. we need to be in a position where we can call the shots and have THEM relying on US. for example, any moves that china makes now can have dramatic effects on the WORLD economy - and this was through their genius. how many african countries can say that?

bottom line is, if we;re smart enough we can get out of many of the strongholds we are in. what has asia got that africa hasn't? i'll tell you - they had certain things from way back in history that africa didn't. japan was very advanced for a long time. of course not in the way it is now, but it could hold its own around the time of the industrial revolution. why do you think they were able to launch an attack in WW2? let me tell you, african countries were on the whole illiterate when the europeans arrived. that's a key marker of a sheer lack of development. south america, india, china , japan, arabia etc had their own writing systems. where were ours? adn pls dont mention the egyptians.

it was a completely different playing field. africa didn;t have a clue. one thing i do know is that as humans we are meant to learn from each other. and learn quick. do what other people have done before, but do it better. africa can't even seem to do this in the modern world. there's just a lack of enterprise and ambition.

you talk about 'overthrowing' like we are in another time. the world isn't like that anymore. you have to be smarter than that now. work with the powers that be while simultaneously building your own power up. the west will always play their game. even the 'china threat' is largely a construct of the western media to send the world on premature high alert of a country that is rapidly rising in economic power, but in reality still has a high population of poor citizens. they are scared because china has them by the neck. china has learnt to play the game. china knows what it is doing even though it is still very much a DEVELOPING country

You guys mistook my comments. I ment that peple like Andamanese and Negeritoes who have "black" skin and kinky hair are the most genetically distant from Africans among all humans and this is proven fact. You can check it out

A white Berber and an Hausa man are much more close to each other genetically than a black Andamanese or Negerito

I dont make points that I am not sure of and I was correct in my assertion


Nowhere in my posting did I say that all haplogroups did not emarge from Africa

I was trying to disprove a point about looks and how looks are not indicative of a person being an African or not in the indiginous sense and so I was contrasting North Africans to Negeritoes

You can carry out work on remains and identify if a person is of West African descent, East African descent or Southern African descent. Same with a Northern Europeans, Southern Europeans etc It has nothing particularly to do with "race" unless all these groups are also "races" themselves

Its sort of like Sickle cell disease. Scientists, back in the days when they thought humans were divided by "race", used to falsely classify Sickle cell as a "black race" disease.

Well now most people know that was false science because people in Greece, the middle East and Asia suffer from sickle cell disease while many "black" Africans in parts of the continent are not susceptible to Sickle cell.

Sometimes population clusters have commonalities

but none of that has anything to do with "race" and a "black race" or any race for that matter does NOT exist in nature

only in social classifications

MzDarkSkin:
Sage, you an continue to be "brainwashed" but I use facts. I do not believe in evolution for various reasons. You all say whites came from blacks and look that way due to the cold weather, but what is it about asia's environment that gave those people a tan/yellow complexion, bone straight hair and almond shaped eyes? please.

In the U.S. when a person is murdered or to be identified and is nothing more than skull and bones they classify the unknown victim using the caucasoid (white), negroid (black), and mongoloid (asian) bone structures.

In several of the "Skeleton stories" and "Cold Case Files" television shows, it never ceased to amaze me how relevant me theory is.

In one show a native Canadian is despoiled, murdered and buried. Investigators were able to find her due to a video of she and her alleged attacker on camera in front of a store together. The man was asian in appearance, long black hair characteristic of asians and have blonde dyed streaks. Well asian like hair with long blonde streaks were found in the woods (forest) where her remains were descovered. They identified the man after running tests which concluded her attacker was EITHER: asian, native canadian/American, pacific islander or perhaps a Mexican immigrant.They labled those groups as "mongoloid" and noted the blonde dyed in his hair was actually more of a "golden rod" shade due to the fact that Asians, American and Candian Natives and Asian descendant pacific islander's hair react to blonde hair dye in the same fashion, unless applied more and more the blonde will not come out blonde but rather orange like. He, it turned out was native Canadian. My point: Asian = super group, the rest = subgroups or ASIAN DESCENDANTS (migration does NOT change one's origins/dna and Canadian/American natives crossed the straight that once connected North America to Asia just LIKE the Berbers/Moors from S.Arabia did to Africa). Mexicans, Pacific Islanders and Canadian Natives have lived in the West for THOUSANDS of years yet their ancestry is traced BACK to Asia (not Africa, not Europe. . .ASIA!). The Moors/Berbers are NOOOOO different.

Story two: A man leaves his Afro. Cuban wife and children to go to "work". He kisses them good bye and that is the LAST time he is seen alive. He too is murdered and buried for a long time. His remains were only bones. His identity was revealed but while tests were being conducted on his remains, he is classified as a "white male of mixed asian and negroid ancestry" with that information investigators were able to conclude that he was either of South American, Caribbean or even rarely Mediterranean descent. He was identified as a Cuban American national.


Another case was of a woman (love-peddler) who was murdered and was still unknown at the time the episode originally aired, so they posted a "if anyone has any information please call" message but said she is EITHER a light skinned African American or of Creole Caribbean descent. When they showed s sketch of how they believe she looked prior to her mutilation she looked more like Alicia Keys than someone who is of "pure African" descent. However due to the amount of African, European and Asian dna in her they were not only able to accurately put her origins in one region (she was later identified as Puerto Rican) however but also find a way to recreate her face based on her skeletal features (the cheek bones, nose and head shape all characteristics used to differentiate the three different races: black, white, asian).


The basic, probability that someone who has ALL three White, black, asian in them and the amount of each is how scientists identify Jane/John Does. so in essence those three races are the "primary colors" of humanity. They cannot be duplicated but can be fused to create new colors: Pacific Islander, Hispanic, Middle Eastern. This definitely contradicts "evolution" in my opinion as it the racial mixing that is the reason the majority of the world can trace ancestry to Africa, not some monkey who learned to walk upright.

Unless each race had evolved from "different apes" grin grin there is NOTHING that convinces me due to the difference in DNA, Skull shape and stature. First they claimed we all came from Asia, then Hitler had his own team of scientists who claimed they had evidence that the world population was mutations of the Aryan race grin grin grin. Then they said Neanderthals were a different type of humanoid species but it turns out they were ancient Germans LOL. It's all bull and man made attempts to find answers only God knows. So with that said this black woman is not gullible, and my black skin is all the proof I need to know where I came from and that is what matters. Guilty white folks who want to place their ancestry in Africa to "let by gones be by gones" can frigg themselves. We might all be "one" but it doesn't change history, it doesn't make the wrongs done to my race right, it cant bring back what was stolen from us. God is our one and only common ancestor, Period.
Nothing you typed up here has anything to do with "race"

You can use remains to decipher if a person is of Northern European or mediteranian descent. the same with an East African and a West African. they have differences too.

Non of this has anything to do with "race" and there is no such thing like "your race" or a "black race" in nature

I had to come back and clarify that point.

What I ment is that you can have dark skin and kinky hair and still be the most genetically distant from so ccalled "black" Africans. My point was that light skin does not indicate not being an African neither does having dark skin and kinky hair indicate genetic closeness to Africans

The "black" people of Asia and Australia(Andamanese and negeritos are testament to that

What happened to Ochi_Agha? We were actually having a good discussion

Its really sad how this thread has turned out. I am the type that is keen on learning new stuff but this thread has gone downhill since then

We should try to make threads like this informative and back up our information with facts

I dont understand why this thread started to go this way

If you are European who is living in North America, your haplogroup and markers would all point to your ancestry same with Asians same with Native Americans same with Austalasians etc

In the case of North Africa theirs point to North African origins which places them squarely as African indigines. They are not of European descent at all

How hard is that to comprehend? Why does it have to deginirate to something else?


@ Buzu

Its nothing personal at all. I love informative topics and I love debates backed by facts. If studies show tommorrow that North Africans are descendants of Northern Europeans I would accept it.

I dont like blind arguments and the thread seemed to be heading that way rather than serving an informative purpose
Im signing out of this topic for today though

yeah keep recycling the same tired rhetoric. what you need to do is get a job at a recycling plant cuz you got recycling skillz bro
Keep recycling falsehood then


Im done with discussing this issue with you. Its pointless and would only deteriorate to personal insluts which I am not a fan of at all.

the way reasonable people discuss an issue is that rather than insulting each other or just posting peoples opinion, we could learn a lot from each other by asking for back up scientific studies to our points

Everybody involved would benefit because we would all learn new things

There is absolutely nothing to gain from two people insulting each other continously

and I am not inclined to do that

Berbers did not migrate from Saudi Arabia. Where did you get that from

what you need to do, sire, is to go back and re-read this thread because only then will you see that the stuff you regurgitated up there is an attempt by you to cloak your 'exposure'. take 'mediocrity' like a man dammit  grin grin
grin cheesy

We are getting nowhere fast dude. Just give it up till you can grasp some simple concepts. Nothing we say here can change the FACT that North Africans are indiginous Africans neither would it make any difference in the larger scheme of things


I didnt get into this thread for personal insults and such is pointless. Do your own reserch if you wish or you can believe what you want

facts dont change

Kudos

"White" is a race? "Black" is a race? "Yellow" is a "race"?

The ignorance on here is overwhelming embarassed embarassed cry

This is sad

lol@ Ochi you know what I meant, Iran Iraq w/e! LOL.

I am leaving this thread, o! It went from simple to idiotic!

Anyone who thinks the Non black Moors or the current inhabitants of North Africa are indigenous to that area, need to SLAP THEMSELVES, Sage that means you. Their descendants will tell you in a heart beat, the migrated via the Saudi Arabian peninsula to Africa. That is common sense.

White, Black, Asian are VERY real! Don't kid yourself with this "colorblind" crap. We can "kumbayah" when the facts are realized. White IS a race, Black IS a race and Asian or "Yellow" IS a race, those three have subgroups which we call mid.eastern, pacific islander and "hispanic" meaning those three are the product of two or all three. Race is real. Anthropologists can kiss my arse with that "one race" from monkies crap.
There is no such thing like "race" but I guess in your world facts dont matter.

A "black" "race" does not exist. Stop living in lala land where "black" people are your "people"

ok this is you
this is me  this is ajali   now tell me who got exposed as a fraud ?  grin grin
Contact me when you are able to grasp the concept of haplotypes and the PN 2 cluster into your head grin

The only person exposed here is a trash talker that was saying that Africa was "all black"

He didnt even realize that there is no such thing as a "black" person genetically speaking and that having white skin does not mean a person is not an Indiginous African grin

that guy, sage, is confused. he is full of hot air grin just here yarning rubbish all day long grin thanks ajali for exposing this grandioesing pseudo-geneticist
Nah dude you just got exposed and you are full of hot air.

You had no idea that there is no such thing like a "black" person genetically and talking nonsense about how Africa is for "black" people

If you knew anything about genetics you wouldnt even type any single thing that you did.

Instead of spending your time reading trash some fraudstars invented like those phoney links by people who want to perpertuate a colour myth and falsehood, I advise you to spend your time studying facts like the Human Genome project, the recent genetic study measuring human genetic distances across humanity which Desmond Tutu was a part of that was concluded this year, the haplotype markers of different groups around the world etc

You stand to learn a whole lot and to not repeat the dumb things you wrote on this thread


and no I am no Geneticist. Highlighting facts to dispel colour based falsehood is just what I did
