I've put together this slideshow first describing the arabs as a whole, second describing the sahaba, third describing the prophets(semites) and lastly describing what happened. All my slides are excerpts from history books with no input of my own.
People always mention that bilal was black. The exact word used in several major historybooks was ادم شديد الأدمة which early arab grammarians explained was a near black complexion or as aldhahabi said those whos complexion is similar to black or the people of takrur(west africa).
They conveniently forget to mention that ali ibn abi dalib in, in all those same books is all described using the same words. And so was sa'd ibn waqas the maternal uncle of the prophet. And many ahlu bayt sahaba.
I will translate the slides one by one if allah permits.
Let this be a civilised discussion and whatever winning point you might think yourself to posses i guarantee one of the slides will rebutt it so try not to be too cocky.
