In the first half of the twentieth century, most European and American scholars identified the Egyptians as "white" and primarily "Near Eastern" in order to remove them from the African cultural sphere and to serve their ignorant and bigoted views that high civilization could only have been created by non-Africans. In the latter twentieth century, Afrocentric scholars indignantly challenged this model, asserting the "blackness" and "African-ness" of the Egyptians. In each case the aim of these scholars was to claim "ownership" of the Egyptians for their own "race" within the context of the modern, primarily American racial debate. In fact, the Egyptians are certainly Africans, but they are neither "white" in the European sense nor "black" in the Congo-African sense. It can be argued that they were like the modern Ethiopians or Somali people with straight to curly hair and narrow bone structure. So from a modern racial context they would sit in the African world just as Ethiopians, Sudanese, Fulani and Somalis do today. The Egyptians really possessed a wide range of skin color and many differing physical characteristics, as did the ancient Nubians. But as time progressed an Egypt mixed more with outsiders with the final influx of modern Arabs the racial texture of Egypt became more complex with a higher percentage of white skinned Arabs. (As seen in lower Egypt today (North Egypt).

    5) WOOPS!!! I should emphasize a note in my head to always consider who I’m responding to. I hope my comments weren‘t damaging. “Being mad at a dog for barking is dumbness to its fullest” is exactly my usual argument that I use in my house regarding racist outsiders who do what’s “natural” to them like “dogs barking” and “birds chirping”. I’m entirely new to YT posting. You’re entirely correct young wise man, and I’m humbly accept the rebuke from you if it’s directed towards me.

  • I can't believe you people still bother with this 14 years old racist brats who want nothing but attention.

    Someone with a LIFE doesn't post 100 comments showing nothing but his/her level of racial hostility towards anything black related.

    They're not the ones at fault, brothers:you are.

    Being mad at a dog for barking it's dumbness to is fullest.

    Peace

    3i) When I do hear “nigger”, it’s either from white boys driving really fast past me in cars while I’m exercising on foot (and I have yet for one to stop and pull over when I invite them to), or its from other blacks talking behind my back saying “man dat’s a big ass nigga there”!!! Your mouth is big, but I’m da Jumbomojokat and da Ancient Egyptians were black!!!

  • @foz77

    3h) Also, the last man to raise his fists at me (I think he had blue or green eyes) left with a fractured face (I was aiming to shatter his jaw, but I missed). To this day, no one says “FUCK YOU” to my face -- especially any non-blacks calling me “SLAVE”!!! It just doesn’t happen as often as it did when I was smaller -- and it hardly happened then because I still was big, just not as big as I am today! So, I laugh at your internet jive because it doesn’t happen in my face round here…

  • @foz77

    3g) So, although I personally don’t think I’m very “Bantu” by blood (as my family tends to look more “northerly” even “Hamitic“ at times), as an African-American I DO have a proud Bantu heritage at least culturally. And if I’m part Bantu, as you can see from my posts (and from the JUMBO part of my YT name which is of Bantu origins where it means “Elephant”) I’m still proud without a iota of an inferiority reflex about being a part-Bantu Afro-American in any way -- culturally or DNA...

  • @foz77

    3f) You said “Bantus have nothing!”. But, Bantus/Bantoids HAVE parts of Cameroon, Gabon, Congo (named after Bantu Bakongo people), Zaire (from the Kikongo word for “river“ -- “ziadi“), Central African Republic, Angola (named from a Mbundu word for “king“ -- “ngola“), parts of Namibia, South-Africa, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Burundi, Malawi, Swaziland, parts of Kenya, parts of Tanzania, Zanzibar, parts of Uganda (named after the Bantu Waganda people), parts of Somalia (Giryama, Shebelle), etc...

  • @foz77

    3e) And I’m really tall -- “basket ball tall” -- (and known to be fast) with a long reach!!! You wouldn’t say that to my face!!! Anyway, my people in Florida (especially the Bantu side of our multi-African mixed heritage) have a history of resisting slavery with legendary deadly violence on the soil of their oppressors!!! And the Bantu side of my people inhabit most of Africa almost uniformly unlike other parts of my multi-African family.

  • @foz77

    3d) I know some of my forbearers were enslaved, but many of my black people in Florida before me were Gullah-Geechee Maroon warriors who had escaped slavery and fought back. But, as far as your internet insults, most of my adult life most people won’t even look me in the eye with hostility for very long because I’m the JUMBOmojokat until this very day!!! As I posted elsewhere, my Olympic weights down stairs never sees less than 315lbs to start off with on the bench-press!!!

  • @foz77

    3c) I may be part Bantu by blood and/or cultural influence being a proud multi-ethnic predominantly African African-American -- survivors who (especially in Florida where I’m from) gave the U.S. their most costliest war (the so-called 2nd Seminole War which the U.S. General Jesup said was really a “negro and not an Indian war“) on their own stolen soil up until the Vietnam War over 100yrs later. But I think I’m Mandingo and Fulani and/or Wolof, etc… I’ll find out one day. Anyway...
