Even the Greeks described Egyptians as brown/darskinned with thick hair.
Every Egyptian I’ve met (about 10) don’t consider themselves African
Me personally it’s obvious what continent they are on but they want to believe they are middle eastern
Egyptians likely had a little Arabic/Near Eastern admixture do to the location but white people in their shameless duplicity used that to say they weren’t black at all. It’s always half truths and fabrications with them. Michael B Jordan is clearly black but he has a reddish pigment in his skintone. If there was a painting of him whites would say he wasn’t black because he didn’t have Wesley Snipes’s complexion. It’s asinine.
Nas taught me this on I know I can
your types definently need to be more vocal in these conversations
huh? south ethiopians (not the arabs) are all over east and south africa. west africa very vew because of how far it is. do you know how massive africa is?
Were you speaking to Arabs? Because Arabs are not actually Egyptians nor are they Africans. Arabs are from Arabia, which is across the Red Sea. They invaded Egypt about 1300 years ago on the conquest for Mohammad. The Egyptians of ancient times referred to the people we now call Arabs as "Asiatic Sand Dwellers." That is how they are referred to by Weni in the autobiography of Pepi. The Egyptians warred against the Asiatic Sand Dwellers.
The Inscription of Weni
I am not sure who or what you are referring to as Egyptians, but I think that quite a few West African tribes claim roots from Egypt. The Balanta people of Guinea Bissau are one group and I think that another group are the Dogon people of modern day Mali and Burkina Faso. Another group are the Kaba people (also known as the Sara people) of modern day Cameroon, Chad and Central Africa. The Kaba people were chased to their current locations by Arabs, who were trying to convert them to Islam. Sara means "Sons of Ra."
Another group is likely the Hausa people of modern day Nigeria. They speak a Chadic, but so far it is not clear if it is related to the language of Egypt. I have not kept up on the research so something may have changed.
To clarify I was saying my time in west Africa I didn’t encounter any Egyptians (yes I know how massive Africa is). I only mention west Africa because I haven’t been to any other parts of the continent.
The ones I spoke with were Arabs, but they were born and raised in the country of Egypt which makes them Egyptian, right? I know where former Arabia is, the people from egypt I met consider themselves that and not African if that makes any sense.
If the ancient Egyptians were white, then the ancient Europeans/Caucus were all Black.
Can we play it like that? That's fair right?
