maat ra nubian... should Egyptian culture, be something that WE consider OUR history?

[Blackking]

the only reason they focus on Egypt is because cacs do..

Bingo aka the reason thread was
Created.

 

[filial_piety]

Nope. It has a completely different and separate history from West Africa.

Saying that "it's all the same because they share the same continent" is the equivalent of saying that the Chinese and the Mid-East are one and the same because they too share the same continent

I'm all AA. Im not Afrocentric, not a pan africanist. I rep black amerikka.

But my people may be different. And parents . And I may have lived somewhere different for a while.

You're from Atlanta? Is your dad Somali, or are you full Somali?

[KingMalik]

You mean like these two British/Scottish actors portraying Ancient Greeks eventhough there's 2,000 miles between their regions

I know it's some Ethiopians in Atlanta.

not too keen on that dikkriding Egypt shyt, but there has been only one official DNA test done on any Egyptian pharaoh, that was Ramesses III, and he came back as being part of the e1b1a haplogroup.

If you're a black person in the USA there is an overwhelming chance that you are also part of that haplogroup, to make it simpler, if a horrible crime happened and the only DNA on the scene was Ramesses III's DNA, law enforcement would mostly be looking for black males, even though "the Egyptians weren't black!". Take it how you wanna take it

That whole second paragraph

LOL read the comments on that reddit post

That whole second paragraph

Wouldn't this mean 19th dynasty founder Ramesses I, his son Seti I, grandson Ramesses II, and their male descendants were African?

Not necessarily. There is quite a range of possible explanations that would not require the lineage to be "african".

First of all, no population is "pure" so, there is a chance that the sample carried a remnant from a very early singular cross breeding.

However, while possible, it seems unlikely that surrounding population doesnt show the marker.

Though, samples from that era are exceedingly rare, and there is a possibility that this trait simply mostly disappeared over the millennia.

That being said, a quite probably explanation is that someone, possibly even, Setnakhte, was infertile, seeing as his only "son" was Rameses III, so its possible that a surrogate was chose to help father the child.

Again, infidelity on the maternal path is quite possible.

Also, setnakhte, Rameses III "father", wasnt of the preceding lineage at all, he could quite likely have been an usurper, possibly even an "african" one.

The problem with determining the correct assumption are the very few reliable data point we have, both forensic and historical.

For all we know, there could have been proper "african" dynasties that centuries later no one even knew were such, etc.

tldr: Possible, but speculative due to too few data points.

lol cac basically copping pleas and making up crazy theories, saying Ramesses might have came back as black, because his momma cheated and got some black dikk

Instead the simplest conclusion that his dad, granddad, great granddad were black.

It's hilarious and disturbing. Which is why a we end up with these goofy white boys making movies like this

 

[Mowgli]

I notice a ton of conscious folk... gravitating towards that ancient culture.

I notice most amerikkan blacks who hype of africa in general usually say We build this and We did that... and are usually speaking on north africa.


People claim that most american blacks come from west africa

So should we be trying so hard to claim these cultures?

Depends on how you see yourself. If you see yourself as tribal, egypt is meaningles. If you see yourself as black, its important.

The fact of the matter is that---Sub-Saharans--have a much different history
