No one talk about the Ethiopians,they are rather unique,graceful,small bone and mixed ?
Likewise the Uighur have more caucasian blood,you can tell from their facial feature and physique.

I took another look at the Mural and i noticed they also pretty much try to give the Idea that they are really from North Africa and even the Arabian peninsula. I will see if i can find some pics to post here

This is exactly what I've been complaining about. Those that have had their cultures hijacked should continue to clown those fools that promote this crap. It's becoming more mainstream. It's now turned into a pseudo creation myth.

Yes it sure is becoming more mainstream. I had said this before and all hell broke loose in the Latam forum, but these stupid theories are becoming mainstream. I have even been hesitant to talk about it but there comes a point when enough is enough. It's not just the clowns that push thesse theories that are the problem but society and poltiicians that keep quite about it. Silence is complicity.

They will be able to do nothing to stop it. Why? Because it deals with mental illness and trauma. Basically, up until post WW2 African Americans could only live on farms in the rural South or urban ghettos. The trauma created from that caused mental illness that manifests in the form of obsession with say ancient Egypt or whatever ancient culture.

The irony of it all we’re all Americans. If these people were not mentally repeating traumas in their mind and realizing that live in the number one Economy in the world, they could focus on how to make their lives good in the present.

Why should anyone give a crap about Moors in this context?

Alternatively, if these people actually traveled to these countries, they’d have sn extremely different outlook on things.

It’s a pointless, loser debate. However, I have seen modern Moroccans. They are basically mixed race, between African and Caucasian. They come in all colors, which seems to be a confusing concept.

Actual ancestry is rarely Black or White, and that pun in intended.

Yes. I'm from Nigeria. I will give you the un pc version. Most of us sub saharan africans do not consider any of the North Africans to be "African". So Morocco, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Egypt are considered Arabs who by fate happened to end up on the African continent instead of the Middle East where they belong.
And honestly, I think they feel the same way. Africans living up there tend to be at the very bottom of the ladder. The big movements up there have almost always revolved around Arab and Muslim identity (look up Nasser, Muslim Brotherhood for examples), rarely if ever around being African.
Now I'm not arguing as to whether this view is right or not, but just telling you what we say to each other.
