Nothing pisses me off that this multiracial society bullshyt. Because we all know the implication is that like Brazil and South Africa, the black folks in Egypt were subservient to the white ruling class. THAT IS PATENTLY FALSE.
Almost all of Egypt's history was ruled by BLACK PHARAOHS. If anything the white people in the society were slaves or captives of war from the expansion of the empire. Stop with this multiracial bullshyt.
When I say Egypt was BLACK, I'm not saying everyone in the country at all times was black. What I'm saying is that Egypt can be thought of as a BLACK EMPIRE because it was founded by BLACK PEOPLE and ruled by BLACK PEOPLE.
Egypt was not ruled by white or mulatoos. The Egyptians were quintessentially BLACK just like the East Africans I posted in the first photo. Sure some of them have straight hair or soft curls, sure some of them have slim noses, or light skin. But in the end, they were BLACK because they originated from Africa and if you saw the average Egytian walking in the street today you would think they were a black man just the like average East African in the video I posted would be considered a black man. PERIOD
I don't think you've seen south africa recently breh. There is no "white ruling class" any more. The point I'm trying to make with Egypt is that there were all sorts of people living there, and since this was a time before existing notions of race were in place, anyone could have been a Pharaoh, from cleopatra of the greek ptolemaic dynasty to Piye of the 25th dynasty.
Egypt is at its roots obviously a black society, but as time went on you had all sorts of people gaining leadership positions. Its geographic proximity to places where we know for a fact that white or light brown skinned people lived also means that those people would have mixed with people living in Egypt. Applying todays concept of race and who is and who isn't considered black just doesn't work for trying to describe what people looked like in a pre-racial time period because they would have less hang-ups on interracial relationships.
But that's all beside the point, you seemed to miss the entire point I was trying to make with that post which is that we spend way too much fukking time talking about a place in Africa that while great wasn't all that great when we look at African societies as a whole.
