Say Istaqfurulah. It's not bullshitWhat a load of bs
Some obscure guy in a flannel shirt pops up when I search his name. A pakistani too. When I copied and pasted your comment nothing came up. Where did you find it?
I think this is close to where it comes from.... when the sun is out, there is light and the streets tend to be safer..... with Maghrib, the sun goes down and the shayataan from amongst the humans and the jinn start to appear......
I think darkness is associated with night, night is associated with danger, fear, darkness....
sun.... visibility, sight, warmth, safety....
I think this is where light/white = good and black/dark = bad comes from.... I think it comes from day and night, I don't think it comes from an origin in racism.
What sets you apart in the eyes of God is action/intention/thought not lineage. The quote is from a Pakistani, who’s most likely a zayidi (claims lineage to the prophet).
Taqwa is not herditary:
Surah al khaf, the story relating to the boy with pious parents.
What you’re implying and have outright stated in other posts is that Arab culture is supreme. You do this because you have, in your mind, combined sunnah and arabic culture. The two are not mutually exclusive. Remember it was the Arabs who persecuted Mohamed (pbuh) and forced him and the companions to seek refuge in somalia (zeila) and eritrea.
You whole heartedly believe that Arabs are “the chosen people”. Lets list some of the great historical episodes these so called chosen people have brought us;
-Soddom and gommarah (iraq)
-Ad (yemen)
-thamuud (?)
-babyl (iraq)

Black = darkness. Darkness scary and is negative (absence of light so represents absence of something which can be negative). Therefore darkness = bad. Black = darkness = bad Q.E.D.

Let me offer some instances, where black, the absence of light, still reins supreme. Till quite recently, courtesy of the industrial revolution in Europe, black had been equated to greatness over other colours; some still remains in popular culture, for instance, a black horse is a rarity, of the best in gaiety, and in war, the Commander almost always leads on a black horse, as valued far greater than other horses; so is still true in Arabia, where horse rearing remains a tradition (well, till in popular culture, Hollywood promoted the white horse in princely tales).
In marketing, car manufacturers make less cars in black, and if one visits one's local car dealer, one will discover, most, and not all, limited editions, with premium features, are in black, or dark tan.
In style, particularly in clothing, black is still positioned on an elevated status, for instance Justices on the bench adorn in black viz. Supreme Court, Kings wear black etc. Men associate a lady in a black dress with glamour, and sexiness on the same scale as red, associated with roses. A black suit still ranks on top of the range. Almost all power suits are in black, and dark with some gray.
I think, in grading rare diamonds, coloured diamonds possess greater value than colourless (not my metier).
In Somali poetry, someone in very light complexion, is described as 'qaaje', associated with sickness. In Arabic poetry, a black horse is supreme. In Shakespeare, Falstaff, Othello, and even Macbeth, the lead arrives on a black horse. The sash a Roman general would wear is always black.
Oh you get the drift.

This doesn't contradict what I'm saying. Thank you.
And yet it's interesting that salafi dawah celebrities never mention this or they twist it to minimize or deny their scholars racial supremacist beliefsI heard some older scholars made such problematic comments that essentially went against the prophets word. It’s funny how they say it isn’t a compatible marriage lol, they should’ve just said their real feelings of mateguarding.
There's no clear cut Quran verse or Hadith that says this . Only scholarly opinions of people who lived in Muslim empires which were quite racist. The Umayyads were outright discriminating against non-arab Muslims and denied them rights.
I can virtually see the in your mouth
