  1. He has to have such a common accent, and that head wear. I usually turn off when I see modern folk trying to to make a statement with their clothing. The point is the usage of Africa from the Berber tribe encountered by Europeans to just refer to a continent wholly occupied by sub Saharan Africans. North Africa was always connected with Asia from the ancient pre historic times, and even the languages extinct and modern spoken in the North of Africa called Afro-Asiatic languages did not originate in Black Africans. Had they originated with Black Africans they would be all over Africa from the south to the north, east to the west, instead that most of the languages are Bantu languages. Regarding the meaning of Moor it is just by association with Africa being black African, also it was a way to distance Muslims in Europe from European as nasty foreigners. The Irish Celts called the Vikings dark foreigners because the Vikings were evil. I think he is being simplistic about meaning of moor just because Shakespeare or others use it or misuse it to mean Black African. It proves nothing except the meaning of words over time. There is dna results of the Muslims in Iberia during the occupation of Iberia by Muslims that came from Morocco. Some of those Moors has North African and European ancestry, some werre totally European, and the pigmentation was in the European range from north to south Europe.
