nzingamina, I am ... ( 2 months ago by AskariWaryaa)
nzingamina, I am from Somalia and Ethiopia, and I would most likely fit in terms of appearance with the Touareg. My hair is wavy, my nose is pointed and I speak a language that is related to theirs under the Afro-asiatic group of languages.
People like us have always been in Africa, and anthropologists believe that we originate from desert like environments, basically the first Caucasian type people were born in Africa and then spread out to the rest of the world, and not the other way around
For the record ... ( 2 months ago by nzingamina)
For the record Askari...Touareg look nothing like Berbers...and also...I do consider Touareg's to be of African orgin...but not the Berbers.
Yes...Africa is diverse...but Berbers and Arabs are migrants to Africa.
Further more... ... ( 2 months ago by nzingamina)
Further more...Ethiopians do no look like Nigerians...BUT...they are both AFRICANS.
Africa is diverse...NO problem.
The problem starts with ARAB people's version of AFRICA...whether NORTH or SOUTH.
Sorry...but BERBERS history is NOT about INVADING Europe and getting their women...these asswipes are ARABS...PERIOID.
NOTHING AFRICAN...
Well they wont tell ... ( 2 months ago by AskariWaryaa)
Well they wont tell you this in history class.
But the Moors were mainly Berbers who looked like the Touareg you see in these Aljazeera videos.
The white skinned Berbers have been proven to have African Berber Y chromosome lineage E3b (E1b1b) and Eurasian Maternal ancestory.
Indeed there are some papers out there that state that Berbers have taken up to a million European slaves. Mix Touareg looking Berbers, or even Ethiopain with a European, the children often look more white!
Racism covers up ... ( 2 months ago by AskariWaryaa)
Racism covers up these facts, but if you search for yourself, and read on some interesting genetic findings and papers by well known professors, many of whom are white. They do whistleblow on the facts quite often.
Buts these facts are usually not known by most, as society wants you to believe that Africans could never have enslaved or educated so many Europeans, but its a FACT!
I stand by the fact ... ( 2 months ago by nzingamina)
I stand by the fact that BERBERS are not Africans but TOUAREGS are Africans.
Racism will show that Egyptians consider the Berbers as the Egyptians who built the pyramids...even thou they are nomads and do not stand in one place...long enough to build anything.
YET...NUBIANS of Egypt who do no look like Arabs but Blacks are have a long time history in Egypt are ignored.
That is racism from Arabs and Europeans....
nzingamina, don't ... ( 2 months ago by AskariWaryaa)
nzingamina, don't be closed minded.
Touareg are Berbers! they speak the Berber language.
The white Berbers were once just like the Touareg, before they mixed. Indeed the white looking Berbers appeared on Ancient Egyptian wall paintings in the later dynasties, whereas they were depicted as similar to them in the older dynasties. The European maternal gene flow has been occuring for many thousands of years with the Berbers.
Don't believe me, then look it up!
Askari, don't be ... ( 2 months ago by nzingamina)
Askari, don't be confused.
Berbers never existed during the dynasties of Egypt. Try reading books of Africa from African historians and get a clue.
Either way...we can agree to disagree. After all HIS-story is written by different point of views.

WHERE Arabs UNCOVER Africa.
Sounds like 19th centurys of EUROPE'S DISCOVERY of Africa.
Cant wait for the CHINESE to REVEAL Africa.
AMAZING, how everyone is THAT is NOT African is DISCOVERING or UNCOVERING Africa.
The reason why it ... ( 2 months ago by ShiaAfghan)
The reason why it is called "uncovering Africa" is because no one seems to cover or even care about African problems. Tell me this: What is the official language of Senegal? Who is the leader of Malawi?
Do you know the answer to these question off the top of your head?
These videos are aimed at Western countries who seem to ignore Africa.
I do know the ... ( 2 months ago by nzingamina)
I do know the answers at the top of my head...
I disagree...that the videos are aimed at Western countries...cause guess what? Western countries already claimed to have "discovered Africa".
NOW in the 21st century...Arabs want to UNCOVER Africa?

cutegual I am talking about African History...so please stop re-writing it by including Arabs as Africans.
It seems that you have an issue with Blacks. Why?
Stop being so ... ( 2 months ago by Nighthawkbrother)
Stop being so narrow minded. The Berbers have all rights to call themselves Africans. Al Jazeera is doin a good job in showing the other site of africa which we dont see in the west and only an ignorant person would appose to this.
The taureg were the ... ( 2 months ago by hegemonies)
The taureg were the best leaders of the khalifate in spain and in Islam. The Taureg an the other black tribes ruled Islam and did as the Prophet Muhammad saws would have done. They were very peaceful. THey were ousted out of spain by Imam Al Ghazali the enemy of philosophy. But what has it done for our umma But allow teh west to take over the world. Taureg are also black. This is the same nation of The prophet Ibrahim. That ruled from senegal to the persian gulf. The culture is all the same
The arabs hate ... ( 2 months ago by hegemonies)
The arabs hate taureg. This hated is rooted in the teachings of Imam Al ghazali. Turkey and their aliance with great britan, france and the rest of the devils. Muslims dont have to fight all we have to do is unite. In fact muslims have long lost the military war. how will a muslim stop nuclear subs or jets that drop chemical weapons by the thousands of barrels the west has. Unity is the only answer. Unite under ME
The french used ... ( 2 months ago by hegemonies)
The french used traitors to isalm to kill off the taureg and enslaved the blacks. The slave trade where millions of muslims were shipped to the muslims did away with the taureg fulani leadership and ghana. The gold trade and much more. and passed it to the west. This was all iniatied by Imam Al ghazali and turkey. Go read on Judar Pasha. and The min event in spain where the almoravid were betrayed by muslims. and then went to malorca until they were wiped out by the christians and the kurds u

thse people are taureg. Taureg and berber are not the same they are more aligned with black africans from ghana.although they are distinct but not much.
taureg have been ... ( 2 months ago by hegemonies)
taureg have been genocided since the slave trade and the traitor Imam al ghazali declared war on them and marked the entire nation for genocide as well as the jew devil ram bam maimondies as well as saladin. Why because they were not concerned with power yet by Allahs will came into power so they were hated go read the history of Andulisa these peole rueld spain and created the best muslim empire. and the leadership was enslaved and genocided by the french
arabs are africans. ... ( 2 months ago by hegemonies)
arabs are africans. but i mean arabs in arabia not lebanon, syria and the like. These people are taureg. and ibrahaims nation ruled over this land and saudi they were black. Ghana are the direct decendant of Abraham. They are black well taureg arabs are from abraham aslo but the root is black but yes arabs are infected with hate via Saladin Via ram bam maimonides who was saladins physicnan. A jew started arabs in the new racaism against blacks
