Blackamoor (BLA-kah-muhr), meaning a dark-skinned person of African descent, is thought to come from the Middle English "blacke Moor"

Of the four best-known dark-skinned characters in Shakespeare's plays (Caliban in The Tempest, the Prince of Morocco in The Merchant of Venice, Aaron in Titus Andronicus, and Othello), he referred to the latter two as blackamoors.

Even William Shakespeare knew black = moor

The white man has been trying for centuries to erase any likeness of black greatness and sovereignty from the minds of the people through the white washing of history and destruction of ancient artefacts

I pity blacks who follow the white man

They lack a knowledge of self

The very expression 'blackamoors' implies that not all Moors were black; otherwise 'blackamoor' would be tautological. Nobody says black Negroes for instance, because all Negroes are black; but people say black Africans because there are Africans of other colours.

'Blackamoor' suggests there are Moors of other colours.

I never asserted black exclusivity to the moorish nationality

However the light skinned arabs and berbers were secondary to that glorious throne

How many moorish conscripts where non black?

Answer that question and you will gain salvation

Peep the hierarchy in that picture

We must know this

there was a conscious effort from the caucasians to suppress the sovereignty of our ancestors

Henry Berry, member of the Virginia house of delegates in 1832 said this>

We have, as far as possible, closed every avenue by which light may enter the slaves’ mind. If we could extinguish the capacity to see the light, our work would be complete; they would then be on a level with the beast of the field and we should be safe.”

To all the africans here who trust the white man so much that they only accept his version of our history, ponder on those words from your white mentors

They were a different kind of black. The type without broad nose as found in Egyptians pyramid. And Islam came into to North Africa's Morocco later,when the conquered Egypt.This was how their history was erased because the Jihadists propagating Islam erase people's history with ‘holy war'.

It is a purely a Yoruba name and not extended Yorubic.Have you suddenly forgotten that ‘aja' is heavily rooted among ancient Yoruba ancestors.The yoruba names and words are mostly descriptive. Take for instance,Ajaka,Ajaokuta,Ajayi,Ajayè,Ajagbè,Ajamaiye,
Ajagungbade,Ajagun,etc. Too numerous to mention.There are names that modern Yorubas are loosing to religious circle.

Ghadaffi confirmed your assertions in his speech when he visited kano decades ago I cannot find the link to the article again

But yes the real arabs were dark skinned, the prophet of Islam said his kinsman would be maltreated and enslaved by the ummah
Re: Yorubas Are Moors by Moorish: 8:46am On Aug 12, 2018
Olu and obalufon Why do you think "ajala" is in the Arabic language ?

Why is it if you do a Google search "Ajala Sudan" "Ajala Egypt" "Ajala Saudi Arabia" you get natural artifcacts like mountains with that name, you get towns and villages with that name ..

Then Yoruba ancestors claim we came from mondiana, or Mecca

Are these claims too ridiculous given the connections I just highlighted and more from Yoruba vocabulary

There seems to be an Asiatic link for the yorubas

Did we colonize those lands or we emanated from there

Yes he was killed for that ..despite he himself being mixed but tied more to his black ancestry and give privilege to black Libyan but there are full blooded Turks and Syrian Arabs from Benghazi that opposed his rule ...Gadaffi over threw their Arab Turkish king Muhammad Idris bin Muhammad al-Mahdi as-Senussiin 1969
