The White Washed Wikipedia Entry For The "Moors"

[Ayo]

Maghreb is North Africa, and mentioned in the first line.


Also

There's even a picture of Othello on the page

Did you even read this, or did you just make the thread to get people angry?

I'm saying lol.

I was wondering if they updated it that quick because it had everything he complained of.

That's barely anything. The black Moors are a lot more important to history than that one line.

Are you not aware that there is an idea to separate North Africa from the rest of Africa. North Africa in recent times has been viewed as an extention of Southern Europe and the Middle East.

Them saying North Africa doesn't mean anything.

OP specifically mentioned they never said North Africa, and never had Othello. He was wrong.

Exactly, somehow indigenous Berber tribes and Arabs are synonymous

Look at the pictures. Look at the article as a whole.

Not one mention of a Northern African to be found in the entire entry. Not even a mention of "Moors in pop culture" like Shakespeare's Othello.

Wow

And if you look at the articles TALK section where editors discuss edits...there is basically one guy stopping anyone from acknowledging that the Moors were in fact black.

Once again we using the white man's inventions and whining...why dnt we make our own Wikipedia and tell the stories like they're supposed to be told...and who gives a slam bout the moors...they wouldn't like us anyways...this the b.s we worry bout while we got 14% black youth unemployment?

Same could be said about the jews
Muslims once referred to the people in West Africa as Yahoodee, "tribes of Israel" OR "tribes of Jews," because that area consist of the jews that fled Israel to escape General Pompey's invasion of Jerusalem. Simply put, they blend into the West Africa's population to avoid death

That invasion and the direction of the escaping jews are described in various literature and paintings

This is a thread about that subject though [moors]. If you don't care about them you're free to make your own thread on how to decrease black unemployment

more info

Simply google the following info

1) General Pompy and Israel, pay attention to the fact that both religious and non-religious literature make reference to this event. Also, most early civilizations lived near water. Escaping Pompey invasion by going into Europe was not an option since there were no large bodies of water to live near

2) a book called hebrewisms of west africa. In it, it mentions the yahoodee reference

Your issue is that you think indigenous Berbers aren't Black African.

Our priorities are fukked up...

 

[ejthompson23]

You know im right...

 

[Poitier]

If the Levant, Arabia, Greece, Rome, Spain, Middle East all conquered North Africa plus all the Slavic slaves, why do so many Berbers have their color....none of those people look like that. Are they from Senegal and Mauritania, Barfour people? Are they West African moors? @KidStranglehold

Are the Capsian culture and Iberomaurusian indigenous to Africa?

 

[observe]

Moors were Arabs .. They came from Mauritania that's where the word Moros comes from.. They had African servants in Spain

Spanish called people darker than them moors.. The Africans they called "blackamoors"

The years later they started to use moor in the Spanish language to describe black.. Like Moreno

That's where Afrocentrists get mixed up cuz they're basing moor off the Spanish language and North Africa where the word comes from
