So apparently these people are considered Caucasian

Why do we call the people Sub-Saharan when Ancient Timbuktu was not part of the Sahara at its peak? I understand that you put the quotes in which is good. The Sahara Desert has expanded considerably over the last few thousand years due to deforestation. That classification is a moving target and has been for a long time. If for instance, you do not want to celebrate the accomplishments of other blacks because they are not from the horn of Africa or your tribe that is your choice. One can only take credit of his own accomplishments as a man because he earned it himself but I can still take joy in another black man's accomplishment regardless of where they are from. There is one thing that whites do well that blacks don't and that it being proud of the accomplishments of other people like themselves. A British man can still be proud to be British and still pay homage to what the Ancient Romans and Greeks did and integrate into his own culture. Therefore, I can still be proud to be Igbo and be proud of the accomplishments of another black man that is not Igbo. They are practicing Pan-Europeanist so to speak. What a tragedy it would be for me as a black man to disregard and not be proud of the accomplishments of another black man in the face of the hatred we face on this planet.

1. It's called Sub-Saharan because that is where we came from... Ghana. Mali, etc is where we ended up. Get it?. We were in West Sudan and the Nile Valley people were out East. Not hard to comprehend.

2. Sudan was actually larger in the past.

3. I am not saying we can't be proud of other Sub-Saharan people's accomplishments but not before our own. Many people here try to lay claim to some kind of direct lineage almost daily.

its weird that we even have to say that considering the fact everyone who lived around them at the time said they were black

go to your local library and find some books in the Ancient Greece section.....go to the index and just find the pages were they talk about Ancient Egypt.....there are countless mentions of them being black skin and wooly haired.......I did this after reading Afro-centric books as a kid just to make sure what the authors were saying was a legit.......I opened up Herodutus's book on World History....went over to the Ancient Egypt section and just as they said, he said the inhabitants of Egypt were a black skin wooly haired race not to different from the Ethiopians that lived to the South

and for those that don't know the word Ethiopia (or Abyssinia) literally means "land of the burnt faces"

it was a non-specific term the Greeks used to describe all black people not just those that resided in the Horn

The name Ethiopia is not a greek word; This is a HUGE misunderstanding; (Originally Ityopya - the correct saying and pronounciation). Originally it is believed with Ethiopians that the first two Semetic kings of Aksum were named Ityopya and these two kings gave this word to also describe Axum. It was used by the ancient Axumites (Ethiopian Tigray and Eritrea) before Ethiopia was even called Abyssinia and has inscriptions with King Ezana to prove otherwise. What you're referring to is Aethiopia in which the greeks used to describe parts of Africa (Specifically Meroe Sudan early on, later Abyssinia, Arabia, and India. If you don't believe me ask an Ethiopian who knows about Axumite History (Tigraens specifically) and you'll see what I mean. This is an even bigger lie than the Queen MAKEDA of Sheba originally being "Arab" or "mythical" when there are artifacts of palace remains in Ethiopia (Tigray) AND Yemen to prove otherwise and the fact that it describes her as being DARK-skinned in the Ethiopic Bible (Not The King James cracker-jack version) shows it all. Be wary of what you read because there is a LOT of misinformation concerning Ethiopia ESPECIALLY Africa in general.

Also Wiki is written by cacs so that just shows that a lot of the articles are non-refutable from the get-go; the fact that they're trying to rob native Africans of their history shows the type of mindset they have; and the original peoples were of African descent - NOT "Tanned-skin whites from the cock-ass mountains" (as you all may know already). These people will try anything to delude themselves from their insanity - here's an example of said fukkery: http://latinandmiddleeasthistrelpol.blogspot.ca/2008/09/ethiopians-were-originaly-semitic.html

Those black people also classified as white to continue the skew of America's demographics. It benefits white establishment that we continue to believe we are only 13%.

You consider Obama Black, so I don't see the difference here.

So you're saying Obama is equivalent to East Africans?

its actually deeper than that. since all humans including europeans came from east africa. them nikkas don't wanna be told that they came from some nikkas that they willing to turn nikkas into crakkkas

just look up "face of the first european". some scientists reconstructed how the first europeans looked and white people went nuts cause they were just told they came from nikkas. they wanna be far from black as possible and if that means turning a whole bunch of nikkas in east africa into white, then so be it.

"Jim Crow" and what does that have to do with East Africans?

People here are quick to claim anything "Black" even if its just half. Even a quarter. Even a drop. They don't like the law or its history, but real quick to use it.

The original man swag coming from these pics..these nikkas hairstyles are fly as fukk

Anybody that says that the Ancient Egyptians are not black needs to be b!tchslapped

I gotta question, and this goes for anyone reading this... how do you feel about idiots who say the Egyptians weren't negros?

I ask cause there are certain ignorant dudes on this site openly believe that negro and black are two different thing, even thoug they completely fail to realize that negro means black in spanish.

I ask cause there are certain c00ns on this site openly promoting the eurocentric claim that Egyptians weren't negros, but simply a dark skinned people. Even though the simpletons fail to realize that negro means black in spanish.

You need to understand that the word is in itself derogatory from the history of said given word - even if it is a spanish word meaning "black"; if you were to call an African or an American Black that they would not appreciate it.
