Perhaps only to find out how their white fellow Caucasian brethren treat them, when they visit them in Europe. If they still feel that much Caucasian. No damn use to implicate folks who do not self-identify as Blacks. It's the identity that makes people recognizable as Black, not their soothy faces, or frizzled hair, or garage size noses, nor their Ubangi lips.



She identifies with the little Moor as nobility, blue blood and thus Black. How black she appeared in real life, is another matter. But thinkinly was brown or black of complexion. Any painter could whip up a little Moor, he need not have one in front of him to paint a symbolic Moor. The body type and dress came with the painting, also need not have shown the persons true shape. Pearls meant pure noble blood, could also be added by the painter. The whole thing is highly symbolic, artistic and fake; to serve a purpose: bragging about the status. [/QB]
