Even before migrations from Arabia, Rome, Turkey and the Iberian peninsular, common sense would suggest that they would be a bit paler than the people of the equator because lighter skin allows them to absorb the vitamins they need during the winter when there's reduced sunlight. Doesn't mean they weren't African, and I'm sure there is a trace of Sub-saharan genes in most North Africans whether from Egypt, Tunisia or Morocco. They should be proud of this. Genetic variation will make them stronger! People of North Africa aren’t “white”.

Does it mean there is a need to shun our pre-islamic history which is the reason our Writings disappeared when trying to bury these facts to new generations. Luckily certain searchers (Hamadou Korao) are not rebuted to investigate in such society (not call them names just the guardians of our true values)... Keep searching, please and do not always be so eager to DENIGRATE our past!

You are marginalized in Europe, considered strangers, unaccepted even in European Union. It is almost certain that the Turks are the slaves of Europe. One thing I wasnted to inform you is that Africa is for Africans and they are not 'slaves' in north Africa. The only thing I would advise you is that you don't qualify to make racist slurs on Africans. Look at your situation in Europe, you work in the garbage dumps in Germany, in France you are not wanted, when you try to migrate to England, your dark hair betrays you, and most of all your religion is facing a phobia that you very well know about. In this case, you should be ashamed of your ignorance of the history of Africa and accept to be taught by those who know it or own it. Your attempt at calling Africans 'negroid' a word probably originating from Spain, is your defeat. Probably, you have an inferiority complex. Come off it. Thank you. Funny Turk.

Of course it seems far fetched when you have history being told based on white supremancy. The proper way to refute it would be to: 1. find peer reviewed evidence 2. present the evidence 3. make your case Rantings based on your emotional pleas doesn't count as evidence. I know It can be very disheartening to find out that the very things you hold as core values are total lies, imagined past and made up folly in order to prop up your on fragile emotional psyche.

The information about north africa being a "white Turkish north africa" just amazes me. Saying all the white people in north africa are descendants of Southern European slaves is just so far fetched I cant believe someone would buy into this. If you are claiming that all the white people of the Maghreb ARE not native to north africa (Southern European slaves), what language did they speak, (there is no trace of Southern European language in north africa). How do you explain the mountain people of north africa who are very numerous, AND THEY SPEAK BERBER NOT ANY SOUTHERN EUROPEAN LANGUAGE. How do you explain all the accounts of native Numidian light skin Berbers who came way before the moors? im sick of this pseudo history bullshit I find this information very offensive…African Americans of all people should realize what it feels like when someone is deprived of their history.

You have it the other way and Allah knows that. It is the plae-skin Turkis who are strangers to Africa and Arabia. Your so-called Negros are Africans. They were not Yansaari slave soldiers froom Georgia, and Albania, and Turkey, whoses descendants occupy North Africa and Arabia of today and ridiculously claim a history that the whole world knows is not theirs. Funny Turki, your roots lie in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. This truth is also for you as well as the Black Arabs and Moors who might not be aware of this fact. Jahdey No funny Turki, you are wrong.
