You are correct!

"BLACKAMOOR" was often used, way back when ( in the British Isles ), to refer to peoples from the Levant ( Middle East ) and NEVER to Negros!

When Shakespeare wrote OTHELLO, the lead in that play was NOT an African Negro,but a Middle Easterner.

Ancient Roman writers and a bit more modern ones, who called Cleopatra "dusky", were saying that her skin type was not as as pale as Scandinavians, Gauls ( the early French an early Germanic tribes ), or Brits.

Hakeem Jeffries' uncle, Leonard Jeffries, was the crazy prof who got the whole, VERY racist, garbage about how Cleopatra and everyone who ever did anything great were "black" and that the whites "STOLE" the knowledge and inventions from black Africans, back in the early 1970s. By the early 1990s, he and his works were discredited, laughed at, sued, and fired from CCNY.

And Cheedar Man may have had darker skin than what we think of re Caucasians, he had blue eyes and didn't look Negroid at all!
