If that boosts your self esteem and somehow makes you feel better about yourself I guess man… :francis:
Once I stopped referring to myself with cac terms (black/African) it did boost my self esteem. I’m self defined now and not defined by “white supremacists”. How about you? Still going by terms they gave you?

I put Somalis an example but really I mean the cluster of East African nations including Sudan(North East) which shares a direct border with Egypt and historically have been the closest to Egypt in terms of practices lineage and everything between.

But those aren't the "cluster" at all. As I pointed out, Somalia is a hell of a long way from Egypt, and Ethiopia/Eritria aren't right there either. The part of Sudan that shares a border with Egypt is populated by people who look a lot more like southern Egyptians than they look like Somalis. Nubians are darker than Egyptians from Lower Egypt but they still look a lot more like northern Egyptians (and are a lot closer to them genetically) than they look like or genetically relate to Somalis.

Not to mention that Ethiopia was the home base for all human radiation, it alone has the greatest genetic diversity of any country on Earth. Populations when you go east of Ethiopia are totally different than populations west of Ethiopia, and populations south of Ethiopia are totally different from those north of Ethiopia. Genetically it makes sense for Egypt to group with the nations just north of them, because they were all part of the same radiation direction from the center - the same people that populated Egypt coming out of Ethiopia just went a little further when they populated Israel, Syria, Iraq, etc. But it makes no sense for Somalia and Egypt to group when they're completely opposite directions from Ethiopia.




Egyptians don’t have origin stories that locate their ancestors to Greece Or Cyprus but they do have them in regards to their beginnings being at the start of the nile, they do have a history that shows a considerable amount of genuine rulers with Nubian ancestry. I’ve also been in the temples and have seen the black painted figures my very self with my own eyes which tells its own story, the discrepancies for me is linking these populations to West African groups and by extension those in the diaspora but linking them to Punt Kush Nubia is common sense, and everything down to the language which is under the Afroasiatic branch denotes to me a people’s not to dissimilar to the peoples you find in Ethiopia Sudan and Yemen.

I agree that Egyptians moved out from the south, not sure why you got the impression that I thought Egyptians came from Greece. But those same Egyptians that originated from the base of the Nile kept going a bit further and became the Hebrews, Syrians, Arabs, Turks, etc. Those people had to come from the same direction.

And the point I made about Greece is that there was mixing from that direction going back 4,000 or 5,000 years, a lot more mixing and trade than there ever would have been from the Somali direction. So Egypt and Somalia came from different population radiations out of Ethiopia, and then never really would have mixed like that much afterwards, whereas lower Egypt and the other Mediterranean states mixed for thousands of years.

Afro-asiatic language branch has huge range from Morocco to Iran/Iraq and the entire Arabian penninsula. Coptic is considered a completely different subgroup of the Afro-asiatic languages than the Ethiopia/Somali branches or the Arab branches. So that doesn't make your point hold any better.

I do agree there's zero doubt that there's Nubian influence in Egypt and always has been. One of the most famous early Coptic saints from the 3rd century is "Moses the Black", who is assumed to have Nubian ancestry, and it would make sense if there were Nubian rulers in Egypt at times. But Nubians are part of the continuum, the residents of southern Egypt and northern Sudan, they're not sub-Saharan Africans at all physically or genetically. And there is zero historical or genetic support for any sort of history where they were the sole occupants of Egypt and somehow once identical to the very differnet Somalis.

I dont know what "view" of Kyrie Im being sympathetic towards. Again he tweeted about a movie.

I think it's presumptuous to assume im involved in some sort of celebrity worship when I think my stance has been pretty clear in this thread...as well as similar threads on the subject.

Do I personally believe the people of the book would be considered the modern day negro? I surely do...I dont stop there. I've given biblical precepts to those that subscribe to the Bible to support my argument.

For those that believe the Bible is "the white mans book", I put that aside and provided archeological findings in north and South America as well as the Caribbean that show a particular style of Hebrew written in stone. Paleo Hebrew to be specific...the type of Hebrew that would've been spoken among the people of Israel prior to the Tribe split and inevitable fall. The Phoenician script that predates the bullshyt Yiddish spoken today

This supports my theory that northern "lost" tribes, did in fact make it to the Americas.

When someone like a Kyrie/Kendrick Lamar, etc decides to tweet about this subject, I get excited bc im hoping it will spark a dialogue in our community...that information can be shared, debated, built upon...information like the images I posted an hour ago...but as usual nobody engages with the specific points brought up..instead it's the usual "Thats a white mans religion, thats a cult, thats a fairytale". Thats a lazy response to the information I provided

Those muslims would be correct in that assessment. The same NOI that incorporated L. Ron Hubbards Dianetic Scientology bullshyt among their congregation lmao? The NOI can be considered a cult, but at the same time I put respect on the brothers that came out of that organization and brought out info to our people ...I.e Khaled Muhammad before his death and how he spoke more on blacks as Israelites and studied with the Israelites in Harlem before he died. I also posted that video in this thread ( coincidently nobody responded to lol)
That’s my point, you’re so happy a celebrity is endorsing something you like that you’re ignoring that he’s problematic and will do more harm than good.

That's all u gonna respond to @No1 I wrote that long ass essay just for you brehda :mjcry:

and again u wrong...Im happy a celebrity said something that sparked a conversation that needs to be had in our community. 19 pages on the coli over this....brehs dropping books, looking at archaeology they may not have come across before, etc. Sparking the conversation.

Open discourse is great. You think it's harmful because you're not a fan of the topic or the messenger. I dont care if it was a crackhead that said something interesting...imma go back and at least google what the breh said if I found it interesting.

Charlagamage's VladTV clip is going viral again where he's essentially saying

"Jews run everything....err ummm...Im uncomfortable talking about this subject...jews are my friends hehe :sadcam:"

nikkas gotta stop being so p*ssy talking bout certain topics mane...

What have we benefitted from all these important conversations that need to be had y’all nikkas constantly harp about, yet nothing comes from? There’s a ton of conversations that need to be had within the community about the community but feelings get hurt and the questioning of someone’s blackness begins when it’s goes counter of the collective. Those are way more important than this desperately needed conversation here.

What does this have to do with “right wing clout?” You calling Kyrie a c00n? Meanwhile, you’re the one so concerned about not upsetting the “boss.”
