Was King Tut Black or Arabic?

Colleges aren't based on "Greek society." University structure is based on medieval monasteries and guilds.

And you're still missing the point. It doesn't matter that books existed before Aristotle. My point is that the reason Greek classics are taught in school is because they were translated and spread throughout Europe, forming the basis for subsequent works and philosophies in several different European nations.

They're not taught in European countries because of racial superiority -- they're taught because the form the foundation for several different canons. Subsequent works by French/English/whatever philosophers trace their genealogy to the Greeks, so they start with that and base their educational system on it. "Race" is not the issue. African universities that teach ancient African epic poems are not promoting the superiority of the black race. They're just tracing their intellectual lineage.

Basically, Martin Luther personal biases, not racial, determine much of what are considered the "classics" today.

If by Martin Luther, you mean the monastic community in general, then yes.

The only people in here who can really rep ancient Egypt like that are the East African brehs. The rest of y'all popping blood vessels in your head over this need to

Ahhhhh the good ole' Ad hominem attack

Good thing I learned the fallacies of argument in grade school

ehhhh, even though I disagree with dude about the Egyptians he has a point.

People take the racial identity of the ancient Egyptians way too seriously, and the arguments you guys present are borderline retarded. Posting pictures of light skinned black celebrities and insisting that is what they looked like isn't "evidence," it's speculative nonsense.

The ancient Egyptians were a medium brown - semi dark skinned people who resided on the continent of Africa hence why they should be considered to be a "black" people by the characterizations of today. However, they definitely saw themselves as "different" from the rest of the people they lived next to, most of the people in here trying to claim an affinity with these people would get looked upon as an outsider by an Egyptian if you were around back then and probably enslaved.

It's 2013, and this is still a matter of discussion.

Huh? We posted chronological dates, DNA evidence, and writing from ancient times, all from accredited sources like Oxford, National Geographic, and government websites. Not sure where you get the characterization that we just "posted pictures of light skinned black celebrities as evidence." How are you characterizing a civilization that existed for a strong 5000 years as a dominant force in the region. You mean to tell me they had the same mentality in 5000 AD as they did in 3000 AD or in 1400 AD? Wow, they must be the only people resistant to change.


I consider myself different than a Dominican or a Nigerian. A Ghanian is sure to consider himself different than a Black Brazilian. Are they not all Black? My mother and sister are most likely lighter than any Ancient Egyptian EVER was, are they not Black? And no, East Africans are not the only ones with claims to Egyptian heritage, it's been posted that Tut's genotype matches Southern Africans and those around the great lakes much more than the current East African population, more so because East Africa has had Arabs and other outside forces dilute the population. Why are White allowed to celebrate their historical diversity from the Greeks to the British to the French etc.... but Africans, who have in large part had their history erased and distorted, not allowed to feel pride in the longest standing civilization that built the pillars for everything after it? And no, people aren't just screaming about Ancient Egypt, did you see the post on all of the other African empires in the thread?

This whole concept of the Pharaohs being African is crazy. They were Egyptian and just because Egypt is part of the continent doesnt mean they are part of the race color on that continent.
Egypt's start is a story of a mix of Arabs who found a beautiful stretch of land to fertilize and build an empire on. They aren't africans.
If anything Egypt is started with blood from other continents.

Your confused. and read a fukking book.

The egyptians were fukking BLACK AFRICANS. Take a xanax if you don't agree.

Breh, they did the same thing to Kush & Nubia (start at 16:36):



Cac archeologist George Reisner (who was the father of egyptologists) said even though all of the tombs of the kings that he escavated were black, the rulers of Kush and Nubia were really the Libyans (aka white folks).

shyt like this is why I don't believe a damn things cacs have to say about Africa. They've been caught so many times with so many racist lies and teachings that it's disgusting.

Here's an article from PBS detailing some of the bullshyt they was doing

http://www.pbs.org/wonders/Episodes/Epi1/1_retel1.htm

But plenty of c00ns and cacs will wave the papers published by these racists cacs as "proof" of what ever bullshyt eurocentric theory they wish to promote, all the while shytting on any historian purporting to be of an Afrocentric inclination.

c00ns like Monsieur Fox make me sick...
