i never said lightskinned. militants are saying ancient egyptians looked like lupita not the girl in op
the girl in op looks like she can be family with those people

The Ancient Egyptians were a diverse looking people since they were a MIX of different African people. Some were pitch black while others were more brown skinned. Yes some looked like Lupita. Get over it already. I have already posted skeletal evidence and paintings. All of which you ignored or side-stepped. I alreayd showed you paintings showing Egyptians with pitch dark skin like this:

Ancient Egyptians were a mix of broad/narrow featured people.

Yes. Especially during the after the 18th dynasty period. But the Egyptians were not primary lighter toned like you were suggesting, If anything they would have been the same color as someone like Denzel Washington.

Also it is not "militant" to think that some of the Egyptians would have resembled Nupita. IIRC Nupita is nilotic Luo and the early Egyptians WERE nilotics.

Why do African-Americans obsess over Ancient Egypt not over Ashanti, Oyo, Dahomey, Kongo, Mali, Songhai, Sokoto where their ancestors came from?

Because their ancestors come from the Nile as well.

To dismiss the girl in the op and say she is too light. And lupita is a better example is being militant. But i do agree with you on them varying on skin tone

Now does this topic has to do with Ashanti, Oyo, Dahomey, Kongo, Mali, Songhai, Sokoto ???? No. The discussion this about Anicent Egypt. So I don't get how we're "obsessing".

Lupita would be a possible better example than the woman posted in the OP since the Ancient Egyptians descend from Nilotic cattle raising culture. Heck Nilotic still have some aspects of Egyptian culture:
the question of the origin of the royal ‘ka’ and the other concerns the origin of the red and white crowns. Wilkinson presents strong evidence that Naqada I was an archetypal representative of the traditional African cattle-culture, a type of society that still exists in a remarkably pure form in the southern Sudan, despite years of civil war. Among Sudanese Nilotes, cattle are raised as symbols of wealth, as the medium for all social transactions (like marriage), and as sources of renewable food (blood and milk). The people rarely kill cattle for meat, which they obtain by hunting wild game. Wilkinson’s overview of the evidence for Naqada I transhumance and cattle burial, coupled with his analysis of the rock art, suggests that Egyptian civilization sprang from a society of broadly similar characteristics. Cows with artificially deformed horns, so common among Nilotes today, are often featured in the early rock art of Egypt and Sudan as well as in Egyptian dynastic art (Kendall 1989, 680–88, fig. 1, 9–12). Even the historic Egyptian symbols of royal office — the crook and the flail — recall a time when the king was seen as the chief herdsman of his people.
