Ok, G, and I think I have already answered these questions for you some years ago, but if you wanna double check, I'll answer them again for you. I am a Gnawa of "brown skin" complexion, kinky hair with African facial features etc, and I consider myself African or North African only not Maghrebi nor Arab. As for converso, GnawaS are known for having adopted Islam not Christianity like the Jews of Sapin or Portugal who adopted Christianity.
Now may I ask you the same question Mr GM? Are you a dark-skin and do you identify as FBA(Foundational Black American) or Caribbean, St-Lucian only, or African, or converso? Converso because your ancestors could have been some enslaved African Muslims whose descendants adopted Christianity later on. As you know some African slaves during the atlantic slave trade were Muslims.
""""There are Afro-Iranians among the top level of Iranian gov't & military"""""
Really?? You mean today as we speak?? If so, can you please provide some names or photos or articles?? I can't wait, thanks in advance.
Also yes, I am well aware of the ancient Black presence in the Middle-east and Persia, but according to some historians expert on the region they say all the blacks there were pushed, beaten in the war and eventually enslaved by the invaders who came straight down from the Caucasus Mountains present day Azerbaijan, East Turkey, Armenia, Georgia etc...the White Arab is originally from that area(caucasus mountains). The same thing happened in India,...India was all Black skinned ppl before the caucasian invasion of the Indus valley.

Mr TheOne, there has always been an African presence in Iran since ancient times, and continues today..
There are Afro-Iranians among the top level of Iranian gov't & military..
.. I suspect the few also were blasted to pieces among the decapitated leadership class during the opening days of the US/Israel onslaught.
Btw, something little observed is the presence of Afro-Saudis(relatively very dark skin) that make up the Royal family.
AGAIN, we must remember Africans had a huge presence in what we today call the Middle East before the Arab invasions etc etc.
"Hmmm, so AFro-Persians exist too. Wonder if they'll get along with the Afro-Arabs."
LOL, they'll get along - probably, when they're not fighting each other.
Remember, in Sudan right now, some of the darkest-skin black people on the planet don't consider themselves African or Black - they only identify as Arabs. Brainwashed Bitches!!
..Mr TheOne, are you dark-skin and do you identify as Arab, Moroccan only, or African, or Converso...Gosh
