A remarkable video essay, as usual. The large amounts of time and research invested into your work is evident, and your passion for history clearly shows. I can easily see your videos being explored in classrooms, and you yourself as a college professor someday, perhaps. Thank you for your work - we applaud you!

[LordVictorHalgaard]

Droppin by from Metatron's response to this - Just wanted to say its great to see respectful and interesting dialogue/debate between two youtubers that disagree with each other. I think you're doing good work, and presenting arguments in a way that can actually be respected and understood, whether I agree with the conclusions or not; which makes you a hell of a lot more convincing than most who touch on race-related topics.

[Badoo]

Thank you for keeping up the good work brother this is the education we are missing as a people

as i commented under the Metatron clip, in the German language Mohr (the german Moor) means literally a black man. "Der Mohr" or "der kleine Mohr" (the little Mohr) is a common theme in old german fairy tales and childrens books. There are also old pharmacies all over Germany that are called "Mohrenapotheke" (Moorish pharamacies) and they show on their old coat of arms a head of a black man. There is a german chocolate speciality called Mohrenkopf (head of a moor) also called Negerkuss (kiss of a negro), but due to political correctness they banned the terms in recent years. In older gemerations it was fashionable to name black cats "Mohrle" (little Moor)
So in german the word Mohr to this day literally means negro with no ambiguity at all. (I am german by the way)

100 years from now Michael Jackson wasn’t Black!. The written record is a must!

[eingoluq]

St. Maurice, an Egyptian, Christian Roman soldier, was so black and his Egyptian name so difficult for Romans to say, that they basically called him "black" AKA "Maurice". A name that you can see is related to the word "Moor" and "Mauritania"

In England there is a dance called Morris dance. They dance sometimes with black faces.

[Maria--Mercedes-g]

Everybody who speak Spanish knows Moreno means dark skinned or black

[HardHitnHstry]

Yes, let's get away from the Sub-Saharan label.

[gingerfox]

The bull fight is the story of how spain conquered the Moors of Spain. At the end of the fight, the bull is gored. The running with the bulls is how they chased the moors out of spain. The head of the bull represents the Moors.

Bravo my good brutha, just got around to watching in its entirety. Knowing that you're doing what you do cuts my anxiety in half, as I often would become stressed out by the obvious lies I would hear people reiterate. You are an intellectual warrior in this field & I estimate that in 5 to 10 years, if we don't let up, children will be taught in school a more truthful versus of African history. Ase' 🙏🏽👊🏽

[deadmanthehekatonkheire]

I appreciate his rejection of the term "Sub-Saharan", but Metatron just cannot be objective about Black history. Great video.

[trillblk]

🤣🤣 So let's get this straight. I'm dying here. 😭😭
1. His opening sentence is half of Wikipedia's opening sentence.
2. His respresentation of Moors in European art work is of dubious provenance seeing as the segments of the Cantiga de Santa Maria he shows as depicting Moors isn't actually depiciting Moors but misclellaneous groups of mercenaries and white slave soldiers, mislabelled on Wikipedia by bad actors.
3. In doing this, he omits art from the very same canon, which when specifically labelling characters as Moors, shows black persons.
4. He conjurs up phantom quotes by Herodotus about Morocco and the Moors (as demonstrated by others) in a Laurel and Hardy-style attempt to demonstrate white people woz Moors n
5. He uses default AI-generated images that rank number 1 on Google's search to represent a Moorish general clearly drawn as a black man in near-contemporary documents.
6. And then proceeds to talk falsely about the Moors who WERE black, as being part of one great slave faction...

But of course he never used Wikipedia a day in his life, just has a whole load of wikipedia talking points, coincidentally.🤣🤣🤣

How to expose Metatron as a shill and fraud, without actually saying he is a shill and fraud. Thank you, King! Real smooth brother. Death by a thousand Kisses. I love it! Roll on part 2.

"Moor" was historically used to describe Muslim peoples of North African origin, particularly those from the region of the Maghreb. During the medieval period, the Moors were often associated with the Arab and Berber populations who invaded and settled in parts of Europe, especially the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal). Over time, the term "Moor" became a broader label that was sometimes used to describe Black Africans, particularly in European contexts, though the Moors themselves were ethnically diverse, including both lighter-skinned and darker-skinned individuals.

The term has been used in different historical and cultural contexts, and its meaning has evolved over time, sometimes carrying racial connotations that weren't necessarily part of the original meaning. It is important to note that "Moor" was more of a cultural and religious designation rather than a strictly racial one. However, in some European literature and art, "Moor" was often depicted as Black, which contributed to the association between the term and Blackness in certain periods.

A page from Elia Levita’s 16th century Yiddish-Hebrew-Latin-German dictionary includes the word Cushite or Cushi translated to Latin as “Aethiops” and into German as “Mor”. The term has nothing to do with Muslims but everything to do with a dark skinned people!!!

[nolasunflower]

Now what I’m about to state is based on a movie.. so do with that what you will. But in the movie “Black Knight” staring Martin Lawerence (a black man). Martin’s character was referred to as a “Moor” throughout the movie by the general of the King’s army.

[Gutitfool]

From the moors to the mauri to the maori, they were dark skin

[TheTradeuser]

Metetron is a professional white washer. Every video of his is the same. The Moors who live through the medieval period have tons of historical contents linked to them. He never puts all the facts of any group of people on the table but instead pulls out a few things he would like to talk about and proceed to give his opinion on why its not black. At the end of his video all we have is his opinion.

[jamesstewart]

What is funny is Metatron addresses his followers as “Noble Ones”, which is the original names of “The Aryans”, before white Europeans wrongly defined it as a white racial definition.

You really deserve way more subs for all the work you put in
