Peace & Greetings,

We must define our selves not have others define us. Black Negro Colored African American Ethiopian, etc. The only group of people in the world whose race or ethnicity changes like the weather. Black means death evil and everything that harms, also is an adjective, doesnt denote a place that has history or a culture, negro is the latin version of black, also an adjective, colored cant be who we are because we werent stained or dyed, and didnt visit a tanning booth, the term African American, one cant claim all of the countries in africa as there race, impossible, and ethiopian we cant be because eithiopia means to divide, and we are not divided.

Thats what the dictionary says about the word moor, but there is only one race of people subdivided into two, Moors and Europeans, Moors are people with hue, melanin i.e spanish moreno meaning dark person,the word mor in moreno dirives from the word moor meaning dark, or black.
