So you don't actually know that for a fact. And what the hell is 'emotional intelligence'? Emotionally informed opinions and views are not usually logical and rational.How do you know this?I;m old enough to know that the cops killed him which is fine.

But you are missing the point. Othello described himself in the play as Black...not as a Moor. And with the settings being in Spain, the Spanish word for Black would be....say it with me slowly....NEGRO!You are really thickheaded dude.

No I am not missing the point...you are. Othello is a Moor in the play, doesn't matter if he says he is black...because he isn't talking about being a subsaharan black man. 'Black' meant swarthy to Englishmen at the time.But you are missing the point. Othello described himself in the play as Black...not as a Moor.

The play is set in Spain where the word for Black is Negro. Black or Negro was not associated with race at the time because some North Africansz (Turegs and some Moors) and Asian Indians were blacker than folks living in the heart of Africa. The Spanish word Negro would have applied to all of them and Shakespeare correctlyNo I am not missing the point...you are.

That is just one man's opinion. Since many moors have black skin it is silly to not recognize that the range of skin tones among them is as varied as those of Blacks in America.JQ Public. .the link I provided explains what I am saying to you about Othello being 'black'. It gives you the historical context.
Skin tone range isn't the important part anyway. The fact is that the Moors were considered to be the same as Turks and Arabs to the Europeans of the time. You can even find painting from the time, and they do depict varying skin tones of Moors, and even actual subsaharan negroes...but the features of the negroes are depicted different than the Moors.That is just one man's opinion.

But the pictures could be viewed another way. Perhaps the Moors depicted are the Blacks and the lighter folks are their slaves.Skin tone range isn't the important part anyway.

No. That's not correct. The blacks are the slaves....as they had always been wherever they were outside of subsaharan Africa. Heck...they still enslave each other in parts of subsaharan Africa.But the pictures could be viewed another way.

So I guess we have to agree to disagree.No. That's not correct. The blacks are the slaves....as they had always been wherever they were outside of subsaharan Africa.
