I'm not talking about video games and movies you ego inflated asshat. In video games and movies Egyptians are white so move the fukk around. I'm talking the real world. In the real world, your average white person is not claiming Roman descent unless they are Italian. White people are proud of their Irish/Scot/German/Saxon heritage. Don't confuse typical white washing with actual claiming of white washed culture.
And I am telling you that there are scores of White people, particularly American White people who are usually dumb as fukk; that think that they are descended from the Romans, Greeks and Egyptians.
I am not joking. Even when you point out to them that the English and Germanic people were actually enslaved by Romans and that the Romans referred to them as savages and barbarians; those White folks still cling to the notion that they are Romans. They even set up their governments on that premise; with the Emperor (President/Prime Minister) and the Senate and the House (commoners).
Maybe you are just a very honest White person that acknowledges that your ancestors are not from Greece, Rome and Egypt, but there are literally a nation full of White people walking around that think that they literally descend from Romans, Greeks and Egyptians. These are the same White people that try to tell Black people that Black people (Sub Saharan Africans) are not descended from Egyptians. Even though DNA testing is showing that Pharaohs like Tut were actually Bantu from Central and South Africa; and that some Royal family members of the Egyptians died from Benin type Sickle Cell Anemia. In fact Sickle Cell disease is what scientist think killed King Tut.

King Tut died from sickle-cell disease, not malaria

Mind you now even scientist are now concluding that the the ancient Egyptians are actually genetically related the Ugandans. And now other scientists have concluded that the Ugandan Kingdoms of Bunyoro, Tooro and Buganda all have a number of similarities in royal practices and customs to ancient Egypt. However, there are still White people walking around talking about they are Egyptians.
Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs related to Ugandans - DNA
This shyt is so laughable that it is not even funny. I actually can't blame White people though. Just by reading this thread it is clear that many Black people have no clue about their ancestry. And because they have no clue about their ancestry; White people can just tell Black people anything and many Black people will believe it.
