They should rename afrocentricism egyptocentricism because egypt is all they talk about anyway.
Like to add also that the ancient Egyptians Pharoahs notice the coming of the Europeans,Arabs and other lighter ethic groups because they had written in their scribes/tablets about forcing back the wild hordes and invasions. Egypt or Eastern African empires declined wayyy before they became lighter.
Like to add also that when Egypt was invaded and the ARABS conqueror North Africa they still worshiped their gods before Islam.
BES is a prime example of a African Pygmy God who was worshiped throughout African, Europe, Middle East which was Ethiopia and South America.
They talk about Ancient Mali, Ancient Ghana, Nubia and The Zulu Empire too. White people just haven't found a way to claim those yet
you dudes are way too caught up in skin color.
The Egyptians also distinguished themselves from other Africans, they viewed themselves as a different people even though they were all technically "black" by today's standards.
Could any old African stroll into Egypt way back in the day and be treated like a brother? no.
Like I said in other threads, you dudes are way too caught up in skin color.
This can not be emphasized enough.
White people don't really try to claim Egypt anymore though. If you are talking about out-dated race theory which revolved around the three "primary races;" negroid, caucasoid, mongoloid, then guess what, those same racist Europeans considered Ethiopians and Indians to be of caucasian stock - they based their classifications on skull shapes, not skin color.
Afrocentric so-called scholars on the other hand will try to claim every civilization under the sun - Sumerian/Mesopotamian, Ancient China, Ancient Japan, the Indus-Valley, Mesoamerican, etc. with no basis whatsoever - language doesn't matter, cultures don't matter, written records don't matter....if they aren't white, afrocentricists will try to claim them...It's a joke.
Its interesting how they'll identify north american people of african descent as "black", "negro", "african-american", and "******s" even with all the supposed mixing, but will when our teachers tell us ancient Kemetians were indigenous Black Africans.
It's usually: "They're not black, they're ruddy complexion" or "they're not black, they were mixed!".
The Hykos didn't invade until around1500 BC, several thousand years AFTER Kemet had already been established. If anybody from outside of AFRICA successfully invaded Kemet before then let me know.
Are Ethiopians black? Are the San tribe of south Africa black?
I consider them black, just like I consider Nigerians, Ghanians, Ugandans, Kenyans, and Somalians black. Just because Europeans and Asians mixed in later on, doesn't mean its their history.
And whats the problem with distinguishing oneself from other tribes? That doesn't change who you are or where you came from. Black canadians, black americans, black brazilians, black jamaicans, black hatians all distinguish themselves from each other and we're relatively close. Some of us got dropped off in the Caribbean, US, South America, but we came from Africa, most likely as slaves. Some of us were already here, but we don't hear about that too often since it doesn't fit the narrative.
People can't wrap their heads around a world without europeans or asians running shyt
This article tells me is that we need people to start digging and recovering our artifacts. Get our scientists and scholars putting in work. Everyone else finds our stuff, then spins a story to fit their view, while we restrict ourselves to dominating whatever they allow us compete fairly in
The point @GetInTheTruck was trying to make was that, just because the early Egyptians were black doesn't mean that they treated people of the same color equally. Y'all get too hung up color on here. Color is just fukking pigmentation that helps your skin compensate for the sun or lack their of. Outside of color, humans are universally pretty much the same. In order for humans to evolve, they need to get pass that superficiality.Its interesting how they'll identify north american people of african descent as "black", "negro", "african-american", and "******s" even with all the supposed mixing, but will when our teachers tell us ancient Kemetians were indigenous Black Africans.

hebrews were enslaved by pharoahs for thousands of years. not a surprise they would build similar sculptures like ones seen in egypt elsewhere.
