Whats your opinion on African Americans who are obsessed with Egypt?

"An awareness of our past is essential to the establishment of our personality and our identity as Africans" Halie Selassie

"History is the landmark by which we are directed into the true course of life" Marcus Garvey

"A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots" Marcus Gravey

"Our history is vital to us. You have to know where you came/come from in order to get a better understanding of where you're headed. When you come from greatness, you aspire to be even greater"

Think about African spirituality and how much is predicated on the knowledge of the past and communicating with the ancestors.

Think about how our practices of customs, traditions, and history was beaten out of us during slavery. Why are we the only people who are told to forget about the past?

What is your history? Do you believe you are descended from the ancient Egyptians?

Don't know why thats face-palm worthy. They've got genetic testing now to trace your ancestral roots back to a specific present-day African country/ethnic group. Its not perfect, but its a start.

You are better off donating your money to charity.

1. Who is "they" ?

2. What incentive do "they" have to tell you about your roots?

3. Have "they" proven themselves to be trustworthy?

4. Are "they" associated in any way with the reason/people who stole your identity in the first place?

5. Can they use the DNA you give them for nefarious purposes?

6. What proof do you have that "they" will tell you the truth?

These are rhetorical questions of course.

He should be neutralized now.

Hoteps have been focused on the knowledge of our history for decades and have yet to produce any impressive or significant outcomes. I'm all for knowledge of self and knowledge of our history, but not to the point that it surpasses the importance of putting in actual work towards building a nation.

My history involves ignoring cacs who get their rocks off by impersonating black people online. Don't quote me no more fakkit

Thank you!!!! Fukk that we were kings shyt nobody gives a damn anymore. Greece and Rome were centers of the world and look at them now, begging the germans for money who may not have a super impressive history, but they have had great recent success and development and thats the most important thing now, like some starving decendent of egypt even remotely cares.Let the past die and focus on the future.

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Greece/Roman culture has been white washed to the point they don't bother to protect it anymore. Most white people claim where they can prove their ancestors are from. It's accepted that Greece and Rome were white.

I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing we are trying to reclaim that culture but the neglect of roots we have definite links to is puzzling.

Perhaps you anti "hoteps" should actually promote the civilizations you say black people should be caring about instead.

Y'all always complain that west African civs don't get enough shine, so why don't you give them some?

Usually when people stan something, they promote it, not bytch about others stanning alternatives.

I get what you are saying and agree to a degree. But if you focus just on the here and now like you said in you're previous post then you have no map for the future. Just because a certain subset of hotep nikkas aren't building doesn't diminish the importance of the past. History is supposed to be a guide for the future.

Sub saharan Africa had no civilizations of its own hence why none of them lay claim to it with the same fervor as they do for ancient Egypt.


I wouldn't be surprised if this is the same crowd who applauded Mayweather for his stupid comments on why he ain't doing nothing for Africa.

Why are you cacs so infatuated with us? Thats the problem with you fukking khazirs. So obbessed with every other culture, then will yell out white supremacy. The world would have been a much better place had your type never crawled out of those caves. I blame my melanoid ancestors for trying to civilize you c*nts. They literally created a pestilence in the world from which it has never revovered.

I hope your dikk falls off and your mom dies of throat cancer you beotch!

If we break down everything Europeans stole from Egypt, its clear they are the ones who are obsessed.

 

[Swagnificent]

Where did I say they weren't black

Im talking about African Americans who are genetically of WEST & CENTRAL African descent who obsess over Egypt. People have really bought into the White Supremacist myth that West African civilization has never done anything worth noting, so they cling to Egypt as though that were the only one. You almost never hear people talking about Mansa Musa or any cool/educational things about w. Africa but they'll talk for days about pyramids and pharaohs

Like I thought. You a racist cac. Ain't no evidence that there is no difference between west/central africans and ancient egypt.

And even if it was, that is a non-sequitur cause I don't hear nobody saying nothern europeans shouldn't talk about ancient greece or rome cause they aint related to the southern europeans.

If she's thick she can obsess all she wants.

bingo... this dude knows nothing. It's all Africa.
