Like I said, look up Berbers and you'll see what indigenous North Africans, and the Moors looked like. You seem to think all of Africa was black until the Arabs showed up but that's not true.

This painting shows no blacks amongst the Moors;

Talk to me about the real painting of their KING...
A painting with colors and not a black and white painting.
Unless you are saying that the kings were black and all other were Arabs..

I'd need proof that painting was drawn back then and not a modern adaption of what someone assumed he looked like.

If you want to debate if the Moors are black, make your own topic and don't destroy this one.

I seem to thing of facts, writings, the meaning of the word moor, paintings of the actual people of the time, and not the current people...
You seem to ignore all of the real facts...

And you still haven't told me then why Egyptians aren't black, since they were once called black with wooly hair.

Morocco and Algeria had been invaded by romans and Vandals(germanic tribe).

So this book and this painting was painted yesterday right?

Well either way, the Moors didn't contribute too much genetically to Southern Europe since they were a ruling class minority.
