hahahha.what a shytty reply.
i been in plenty of schools my dude and know what the fukk i was asking..go and travel out of your little lair my brother!!
Don't start asking urban Afro/blackcentrist arm chair scholars for up-to-date, scholarly, peer-reviewed citations. Because then you might come up with some information that states the head coverings worn by people in the Arabian peninsula serves to protect to facial orifices(eyes, nose, mouth etc) from the whirling sand of the desert, though the sun could also be a factor. And not only that, but it's been shown that the Ancient Egyptians themselves applied make up and sun screen to their faces protect themselves from getting sun burned, yet they are suppose to be these Afrocentrist's shining example of "ancient black civilization" and we all know the "ancient black/melanted man" doesn't get sun burned. So, I guess the Ancient Egyptians weren't the original inhabitants of the land either, therefor we have to go back EVEN FURTHER to find "da melanated man".
Here we go...we were just talking about the medieval era, that didn't work very well for you so you guys bring up ancient Egypt and Nubia for no reason at all...and lo and behold here we are all the way back in the pre-neolithic. If you have to go back 14,000 years just to make an assumption-riddled hypothesis that means you lost already. On top of that, the dailymail? OK this discussion is pretty much over.

Ok. God bless you.

Actually there are some VERY early text describing the Arabs as "black" and with dark skin. But are they related to Africans? I don't know.
But like many have stated Arab is not a race, but a pan-ethnicity. Any "race" can be "Arab".
Well since logic and facts tell us that black people used to populate the Arabian peninsula, I'd have to say that at some point that area was black. The real debate is in what time did it get populated and mixed with other peoples.
But the Phoenician who were influenced by the Egyptians from culture to even religion got their writing system from the Egyptians... Who in term gave it to the Greeks.

He's about to give you a word salad of nothingness. LOL
The phonemic attribute, in which each letter-segments represent specific phonemes, which was a key component in the development of the Greek language(as well as the modern day Latin script) did not come from the Ancient Egyptians who's script used symbols to represent whole words or word roots(morphemes). It came from the Phoenicians. Which even still, is a non-sequitur to the point of the Ancients Greeks "getting everything" from the Egyptians. Plus, if we're going to be committing fallacy of eliminating the middle when specifically referring to the influences on Ancient Greece, then why stop at just the Phoenicians? Lets eliminate the Egyptians hieroglyphics as well as say that the Greek script was influenced by some Neolithic era pre-logographic pictographic writing system. I mean we could keep stretching this idea of digging for the ultimate roots ad-nausem. And even in your taxonomic example there's a missing middle in between Egyptian Hieroglyphics and Phoenicians where the Proto-Canaanite script, which also is phonemic unlike the Egyptian hieroglyphs, should be. A more precise representation with using Egpytian hieroglyphics as an axiom would be this:
- Egyptian hieroglyphs
- Proto-Sinaitic/Canaanite

^^^The above is basically what I said. All I said was that the Egyptian hieroglyphs are the ancestors of those writing systems; Greek alphabet included. The Phoenician alphabet was a Southwest Asian script with ultimate origins in Africa(Egypt), which was then modified into the Greek script and which was then modified into Latin script and which the bulk of European scripts trace their origins to.
NO one is ELIMINATING the middle, when it was just said that Egypt is just the ANCESTOR. And the fact is many Egyptologist and Historians even agree that the Hieroglyphics are the base/roots of most these writing systems. Phoenician were the ones who DIRECTLY influenced them.
