This video features the leader of the Moorish militia group "Rise of the Moors" and he is getting some things off his chest.
The word "Moor" has its origin in 46 B.C. when the Romans invaded North Africa. They called the inhabitants they met there Maures from the Greek word mauros, meaning dark or black. The word indicated more than one ethnic group. To Shakespeare "Moor" simply meant "black African." It is important to point out that the medieval Moors who conquered Europe should not be confused with the modern Moors Aka "Moorish Americans".
Moors are not a distinct or self-defined people. The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica observed that "The term 'Moors' has no real ethnological value." Europeans of the Middle Ages and the early modern period variously applied the name to Arabs, North African Berbers, as well as Muslim Europeans.
The term has also been used in Europe in a broader, somewhat derogatory sense to refer to Muslims in general, especially those of Arab or Berber descent, whether living in Spain or North Africa.
Early in the history of al-Andalus, Moor signified "Berber" as a geographic and ethnic identity. Later writing, however, from twelfth- and thirteenth-century Christian kingdoms, demonstrates the "transformation of Moor from a term signifying Berber into a general term referring primarily to Muslims (regardless of ethnicity) living in recently conquered Christian lands and secondarily to those residing in what was still left of al-Andalus".
In medieval Romance languages, variations of the Latin word for the Moors (for instance, Italian and Spanish: moro, French: maure, Portuguese: mouro, Romanian: maur) developed different applications and connotations. The term initially denoted a specific Berber people in western Libya, but the name acquired more general meaning during the medieval period, associated with "Muslim", similar to associations with "Saracens". During the context of the Crusades and the Reconquista, the term Moors included the derogatory suggestion of "infidels"..
In Ross Brann's article "The Moors?" he considers the meaning and significance of Moorish identity in literary works, film, and scholarship. Brann notes that even today the figure is "employed regularly in academic circles and in popular culture without much question or reflection" and "without clarification of who precisely the Moors are". Recounting a history of the uses of the term Moor, he explains that "Andalusi Arabic sources—as opposed to later mudéjar and morisco sources in Aljamiado—neither refer to individuals as Moors nor recognize any such group, community or culture". Moor is a term applied from the outside, by Europeans, yet "unlike relatively stable terms of Roman provenance inherited by Christians such as Arab, Ishmaelite and Saracen," the significance of the term varies in particular historical moments and shifts over time.

Moor:
Moor, in English usage, a Moroccan or, formerly, a member of the Muslim population of al-Andalus, now Spain and Portugal. Of mixed Arab, Spanish, and Amazigh (Berber) origins, the Moors created the Islamic Andalusian civilization and subsequently settled as refugees in the Maghreb (in the region of North Africa) between the 11th and 17th centuries. By extension (corresponding to the Spanish moro), the term occasionally denotes any Muslim in general, as in the case of the “Moors” of Sri Lanka or of the Philippines.
The word derives from the Latin term Maurus, first used by the Romans to denote an inhabitant of the Roman province of Mauretania, comprising the western portion of present-day Algeria and the northeastern portion of present-day Morocco.
The term is of little use in describing the ethnic characteristics of any groups, ancient or modern. From the Middle Ages to the 17th century, however, Europeans depicted Moors as being black, “swarthy,” or “tawny” in skin colour.
Europeans designated Muslims of any other complexion as “white Moors,” despite the fact that the population in most parts of North Africa differs little in physical appearance from that of southern Europe (in Morocco, for example, red and blonde hair are relatively common).
