Moorish:
I cannot speak for all yorubas I can only speak for myself

My mum told me her grandfather rode a horse during pilgrimage to Mecca, hajj, from Ibadan

Her maiden name is Sanni, clearly an Afro asiatic name

My own family name is Ajala

A non Yoruba name with no meaning in Yoruba

But natural structures and monuments in Sudan and Saudi Arabia and Egypt bear the names “Ajala”

Even the Quran has “Ajala” in it

I cannot speak for the rest of you

I know and am proud of my deep links to the east

I have always Said that many Yoruba people of today are immigrants to Yorubaland.

Yes many of them are

Why do egotistical Igbos always enter a yoruba thread to derail it... Stinking low self-esteem idiots

jimmyjackz:
hi do u guys think the moors were similar to one of those secret societies both with their wealth of knowledge and motives. were they traitors?
Why was Morocco the first nation to recognize America's independence?

or were they the reason Europeans couldn't penetrate sub Saharan Africa? because after the fall of grenada the in 1492 the first slaves to arrive as part of a labour force in the New World reached the island of Hispaniola (now Haiti and the Dominican Republic) in 1502.

excuse me for reviving this thread

There was an ancient link between the moors and America

Columbus got the knowledge of the compass and the directions to America from the moors apparently.

There was a mutual respect for some time, even a treaty.

MrPresident1:


You are indeed a scholar, and let me thank you very much for fitting this piece into my puzzle. Indeed, the Moors were not a race, looking at it realistically, they were a brotherhood united by Islam, and most of them were black.

I do know that the original Jews of the Bible are black, so they were part of the Moors, the Moors were mostly black people united by Islam and Melanin, so they were a mix of Hamitic, Shemetic, and perhaps melanated Japhetic people. Circa 500AD to circa 1500AD the Moors ruled Europe and the world, the white people called this time period the ''Dark Ages'', and when they rose again from the bottomless pit in circa 1500AD they called this time period the ''Renaissance''.

During the ''Dark Ages'', the Black-melanated man was on top, he ruled the world via Islam as the vehicle of universal brotherhood; during this time the whiteman was down below, in hell, and for 1000years the world was at peace and prosperous.

The Blackman will arise from the ashes of the ''white ages''. The ''White age'' has ended, the Dark ad blessed age will come again, and this time, this kingdom will rule forever.

5 years on and still a powerful and stirring post

Jah bless

Moorish:


Moor : a member of a NW African Muslim people of mixed Berber and Arab descent. In the 8th century they conquered the Iberian peninsula, but were finally driven out of their last stronghold in Granada at the end of the 15th century.

The moors were mostly Berber and Arab.. so dark blacks, light skinned blacks and Arabs

Some Berber tribes include the tauregs, and these are dark skinned Africans

Aksum and zagwe did not invent modern musical instruments or algebra so you are completely wrong once again

Yeah, The Moors weren’t Black. Afrocentrism is desperation.

If the black moors didn't have Tribal Marks they were not Yorubas among them

Yorubas came from the direction of Sudan through Kanuri land and the Kanuri agree the Yorubas are their own relatives

Apart from Borno , Kanuri are also indigenous to Chad and Western Sudan.

Both Kanuri and black Sudanese people have tribal marks like the Yorubas

Moors were not racially homogenous. They were a mixed horde of Berbers, Arabs and some black Africans. The black Africans were largely from Mauritania and the parts of Senegal bordering Mauritania. Some were also from the black minority group called Gnawa in Morocco.

Some of them were black but that was a minority.

This is not true. Morocco and the rest of North Africa have been occupied by brown to olive-complexioned people for a very long time. The old kingdom of Mauretania (not to be confused with the modern country of Mauritania) existed in what is now Morocco, centuries before the Arabs and the Turks came to North Africa.

In the picture below, you'll see the head of King Bogud, a king of Mauretania. Does he look like a 'black man' to you?
