Sure there were big black populations in these areas, but they weren't majorities. The middle east was mixed since Babylon, it was the original America. White peoples, Arabs, jews, Persians, etc. etc. were all there. Slavs are from northern Iran, the word Caucasian is from the Caucasus mountains
It's funny to me, how y'all hear that there were black people in an area, you assume there was nobody else. Cushytes were a tribe among many others that were not black.
North Africa has been inhabited by berbers since atleast 10,000 BC. Obviously they mixed a little because of their proximity to black people but they ran that area for thousands of years and there are still tons of white berbers.
Alexander the Great encouraged mixing with Persians, that's how Greeks got tan skin and curly hair. Not everything that resembles black features has to be from black people. Italians definitely look like they have similar Arabic type features as Greeks.
And some Balkan people are Mixed with Turks as well due to the long occupation of the ottoman empire. They have no black in them, have you ever seen Serbian people? They're pasty white as fukk, those that have some tan, their families were raped by Turks.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if all white people had trace amounts of black in them, there is just much more influence from Arab type people's that actually occupied European areas.

Berbers are not White and are genetically African.
Sure they're African but they're not black. I just mentioned them cuz dude said north Africa was black.
Wikipedia my friend:
The concept of Black is a modern creation. Africa has the largest range of phenotypes and ethnicities. Majority of the people you choose to show images of aren't even Berber and even then, there are different types of "Berber" with a range of phenotypes.
^meant for gangstarrs post with moriscos-berber /pale folks from the magarebi.
fukking hell, talk about over-generalizing.
You think the entire northern African region are like that?

No shyt, they guy I was replying to said it was all black.
Obviously. That's why I said there are still tons of "white Berbers" to specify that there are other ones which are mixed more with black people
And I didn't choose to show anything, thats the picture of Berber people on Wikipedia.
Berbers are not Black or White. They are African. Niger-Congo people are African. Horners are African. Pygmy are African. Bushmen are African. White man came and grouped them all as Black. There is more genetic difference between each of these people than the WHOLE African population to the WHOLE Cac population.
Thx for the intelligent discussion so far but have to go.
It looks like you are being slightly hypocritical, you group all different types of people in a geographic region. Than you compare it to "cac population" which is what ypu said the white man does (grouping according to race), this makes you sound much less intelligent.
I hope you are not one of those people here that says "why do white people call themselves Irish, Polish or Italian. They're all just CACs" Because that would be extreme hypocrisy.
I'm sure it wasn't just the white man that grouped them as black as well, Arabs and Asians did too. Just like black people probably grouped whites or Asians together not knowing the differences, its only natural.
No. The point is that Humans have less differences across races genetically than does two supposedly similar groups of people grouped under one racial umbrella. There is a larger genetic difference between Italians and Russians then there is between Africans and Europeans. Not hard to understand.
No, I actually encourage people to be specific about their heritage if at all possible, though bloodlines are so muddled that it's hard to do.
Nope, White people were the ones to group different tribes, nations, empires under one banner. Africans, Asians, Arabs tended to identify by culture and region.

Why do ppl on this site want all these non-black people to claim black? If you don't have two black parents, you aren't black on my book. Period. I don't care what this chick is mixed with, and I could care less about her ancestry. She looks nothing like a black person to me.

This is reality show star Melissa Gordo. According to her, she's always mistaken for being Black biracial, but she has no Black in her..she's all Italiano. And I'm like..um, does she know the history of Italy?.
I came here to see a pic. No pic.
Is her last name Gordo or Gorga?
