The Moors depicted themselves as Middle Eastern/Arab looking people. The Spanish, Italians, Portuguese, Greeks, French all depicted the Moors as Arab/Middle Eastern looking people. It was only in the 19th century that English and German people, ignorant of the Moors created the "Black Moor" romantic mythology. But these people never actually saw Moors themselves. All the "pitch black Moors" artistic depictions are from hundreds of years after the Moorish occupation of Europe, and inevitably come from sone who never actually saw a Moor. The most reliable depictions of Moors should be by the Moors themselves, as well as depictions by people from the time of the Moors who actually saw real Moors in person. And these depictions all show Middle Eastern/Arab looking people! "Moor" does not mean "black". That is garbage. The Moors depicted themselves as Middle Eastern/Arab looking people.

D. Thomas! Race is an illusion made up in present day to make certain people feel like they aare better than others. In all reality people in ancient time did not classify each other strictly based on color. They typed them by their culture and their culture was marked by their religion. That's the big issue, !Religion! Honestly I couldn't care less Whether or not Ancient Egyptians or Hebrews or "Black Africans" or Italians or Asians could fit into a general accepted category because most likely I won't agree with it. Did you know that it's been scientifically proven that Nefrititi had PURE BLACK FEATURES AND BROWN SKIN? There were a bunch of scientist who did a whole bunch of tests on her mummy and you know what her model came out looking like? A BLACK WOMAN. But, still people will think of her as white I'm sure. You know it's funny though because not long after this discovery I went to Vegas and saw a slot machine game with a white Nefrititi with black features. Did it shake me? No. Did I get angry? No. I realized that it was a marketing strategy, afterall most of the people who were at that casino were "Caucasoid". So now we've established the fact that it's just IMPOSSIBLE for the Egyptians or Moors to be black because they were fair or olive. Right? Okay so now what about all of the extremely dark North Africans, Middle Eastern Arabs, and Indians who are darker than some "Black africans" because contrary to what most people think, NOT all "Black fricans are black in color. They are many shades of brown or even dark olive but most people wouldn't know that because they are ignorant. Are these "non-black Arabs" white too? If you said yes, then I pity you because that just means your little heart just wants to be a close to white as possible. If their white, then what the hell is white? Why don't the Eurasian, and Asians, and Pacific Asians and the Native Americans all just be classified as white? Oh but wait some pacific asians and Isrealies have "African"-like hair. Ah man, we're gonna have to cross some off the list. So now of the rest, who do these EXTREMELY dark skinned NON-BLACK individuals look most like: A.Europeans: England, Russia, etc. B.Asians: China, Vietnam, etc. C.Black Africans: Senegal, Kenya, etc. D.Native Americans: Cherokee, Aztec, Mayan, etc. E.Modern day (non-white, non-black)hispanics En mi opinion se ven como los hispanos. But, that is just my opinion. If i were to mistake these individuals for anything other than what then are by appeared to be, I would say they looked hispanic. But that is PRETTY IMPOSSIBLE considering they are worlds away. But they are much too dark to be considered Caucasian, they don't look anywhere close to Chinease, and North American Native Americans and Pacific Islanders still look kinda Asian so Hispanic are kinda sort a perfect fit. Right? Anyone reading this may think I am an extremely racist person. But, I'm not. I only say these thing to prove a point. I have friends from all over. I know a girl who is portuguese and an ignorant person called her a racial slur because they thought she was Mexican and in America Mexican means anything and anyone who speaks spanish a first language and looks different. Think about that. Can you see what's wrong with that picture? Needless to say my friend has no hispanic blood in her and don't speak a lick of Spanish. But, I can tell you as a 96% non racist, that she could pass for Hispanic but not Mexican. There are so many cultures of latin AMerica and none are the same. Agentina and Uruguay are full of "Aryan" but, Latin America is prodominetly composed of the descendents of Native Americans who were from asia, but they don't look asian any more. Because these people evolved would it be wrong to say that part of their heritage is Asian? Which means the North Africans COULD HAVE BEEN ASIANS AND EVOLVED! But that's just silly. So, let us all just go back to back to our white made history books and accepted everything that they tell us including the fact that we all used to be monkies and that a gigantic crater is going to kill us all in year 2012 and the Anti-christ will come from the middle East and blah blah blah... After all these peopl are the winners and everyone wants to be a winner! I agree with H. D. Thomas!

If their white, then what the hell is white? Why don’t the Eurasian, and Asians, and Pacific Asians and the Native Americans all just be classified as white? Oh but wait some pacific asians and Isrealies have “African”-like hair. Ah man, we’re gonna have to cross some off the list. So now of the rest, who do these EXTREMELY dark skinned NON-BLACK individuals look most like:
A.Europeans: England, Russia, etc.
B.Asians: China, Vietnam, etc.
C.Black Africans: Senegal, Kenya, etc.
D.Native Americans: Cherokee, Aztec, Mayan, etc.
E.Modern day (non-white, non-black)hispanics
En mi opinion se ven como los hispanos. But, that is just my opinion. If i were to mistake these individuals for anything other than what then are by appeared to be, I would say they looked hispanic. But that is PRETTY IMPOSSIBLE considering they are worlds away. But they are much too dark to be considered Caucasian, they don’t look anywhere close to Chinease, and North American Native Americans and Pacific Islanders still look kinda Asian so Hispanic are kinda sort a perfect fit. Right?
Anyone reading this may think I am an extremely racist person. But, I’m not. I only say these thing to prove a point. I have friends from all over. I know a girl who is portuguese and an ignorant person called her a racial slur because they thought she was Mexican and in America Mexican means anything and anyone who speaks spanish a first language and looks different. Think about that. Can you see what’s wrong with that picture? Needless to say my friend has no hispanic blood in her and don’t speak a lick of Spanish. But, I can tell you as a 96% non racist, that she could pass for Hispanic but not Mexican. There are so many cultures of latin AMerica and none are the same. Agentina and Uruguay are full of “Aryan” but, Latin America is prodominetly composed of the descendents of Native Americans who were from asia, but they don’t look asian any more. Because these people evolved would it be wrong to say that part of their heritage is Asian? Which means the North Africans COULD HAVE BEEN ASIANS AND EVOLVED! But that’s just silly.
So, let us all just go back to back to our white made history books and accepted everything that they tell us including the fact that we all used to be monkies and that a gigantic crater is going to kill us all in year 2012 and the Anti-christ will come from the middle East and blah blah blah… After all these peopl are the winners and everyone wants to be a winner!

I, too, have found the argument that people crossed vast mountain ranges and hundreds of miles of frigid tundra yet couldnt cross an 8-mile straight ludicrous at best. However, the rest of the original article was clearly motivated by pro-"African" racism. America (and to a lesser degree, Canada) is the only country in the world in which a population of dramatically different people can be referred to by the name of the land mass they inhabit. Using color to define a person is ridiculous. We have many persons of mixed "African" and "Caucasian" heritage in America, but is it fair to call them black? People are defined by their LANGUAGE and CULTURE, not by their skin color. By such a definition, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of cultures within the African continent. To argue that "Africans" are responsible for all the contributions to science, language, religion, etc is as assinine as to claim Europeans or Asians are. If we're going to give continents rather than cultures credit for advancements in civilization, forgive me for being the one to point it out, but the first written language was developed by ASIANS, the oldest known paintings were created by EUROPEANS, and the first known seafarers were AUSTRALIANS. To be even more frank and perhaps a bit "racist" if you will, what, pray tell, has Africa south of the equator contributed to the world---past or present? Its a fact that such people, as recently as a hundred years ago, posessed a technology so primitive as to lack objects as simple as the wheel, candle/lamp and shoe, technologies cultures the world over have posessed for THOUSANDS of years. To say all persons from the African continent are the same or have made comparable contributions to human history is ABSURD.

The original Moors were Semitic people who look like modern Iraqis and Syrians. At that time, most popualtion terms were religiously, rather than racially, based. Thus any Muslim was a "Moor". There are references to Indonesian "Moors", Indian "Moors", Nigerian "Moors" etc. For EVERYBODY here: The term “Moor” was often used to denote ANY Muslim, whether they be Albanian, Arabic, or African.
