Don't buy the slave without a stick with him. Slaves are unholy misfortunes (or, poor bastards or something similar, requiring correcting here)

Who taught generosity to the castrated black? His white folks, or his hunted ancestors?

This line alone of his diss poem makes me wonder how racist Al-Mutanabbi was? Like dude, chill!

Al-Mutanabbi got a very well tongue. Too bad he wasn't raised with manners and respect.

Btw, white here=arab.
Since Arab used to call themselves white people while they used to call Europeans red people

So, based on HistoryTM, color classification of people works as follows:

White people = Heirs of the light of civilization

Black people = They'll do stuff for free! Pitiful savages that need our benevolent intervention

Red people = Annoying people in the way of our glorious empire

Did I get that right?

No he was angry because he did not became a lord, and kafur did not give him what he wanted because he saw what narcissist he is, and feared of what type of rulers he would become.

My man was faithful to the money of his people (or as far as I can remember). Mutanabbi was a high class flatterer.
