@MrSuperstar567 People who currently live in Black Africa come mainly from the Egypt-Nubia. That's why they all speak the same kind of languages. Apparently you do not seem to know the history. From 525 ACN have the Kamites folded in Nubia when the Persians invaded Egypt. Many stayed, others went to Europe, some remained in Nubia and others went to populate the rest of Africa. The whites of Egypt are only descendants of the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs ... So you're a stupid foreigner.

@MrSuperstar567

If you are partly Egyptian, you should precise of which descent. Are you of Turkish descent, Italian, from the Balkan (Albanian, Serbian....), Greek, Syrian, Kurdish, and so on.... Or, maybe you are Ismaelian, name given to the true black Egyptians. Like Kush, nubia, Abbyssinia, Axum, Swahili Cost, Zimbabwe, Mali, Songia, Ghana, etc. Egypt is Africa and all africans can claimed it. Unless you are one of them, you should concentrate on your origins and history.

I am sorry to inform you that ALL OF AFRICA HISTORY BELONGS TO ALL AFRICANS.

Life started in AFRICA and BLACK PEOPLE WHERE THE FIRST ON THIS EARTH.

Iam African and all histories including Egypt belongs to all of us.

By the way check your DNA you will find out some interesting facts about the so called Egyptians dna

I was born in a small country in Afric, I am really ashamed and emberassed about someone like you

Your way of thinking is prejudice. Egyptian history is african

@MrSuperstar567 Also you should know that black american have 70% of their african ancestry from the west and 30% from the east. African slaves actually came from all over since they were traded between europeans, americans and others.

[fmcneillii]

@MrSuperstar567 We already know about those civilizations. If you actually knew anything about Afrocentrism they talk about all black african civilizations not just egypt. Besides everybody already knows that the original egyptians were black and later became mixed and arab. This is not just from afrocentric scholars this is believed by egyptian scholars in general.

[MrSuperstar567]

@MrSuperstar567

And when I mean West Africans, I mean African Americans. I should have specified, as they are not slaves but many are descendants of them. African Americans need to claim the great civilizations of Ghana, Soghai, Mali, Kanem....the list goes on and on. These are so neglected. All you Afrocentrists who are African Americans need to check those civilizations out, they were incredible. But Egypt is apart of heritage, since I am partially Egyptian, stick to yours.

[MrSuperstar567]

There can never be peace with Afrocentrists because they are usually claim other achievements from every civilization. I am party Egyptian, and I find it humorous that West African slave/freemen are claiming Egypt.

@irishsocialist32 There can never be any happiness with the Europeans because they are against anything Black and will start making trouble and war. The white mans nature is very different from other people of color, you can't live with him in peace, he is a murderer, lire, war monger, user, arrogant, trickster, white supremacist, hateful, sub-planter, psychopath, etc. The solution is total separation from all white people, maybe some trade.

Africans must dissolve these states as they exist today,when they will do it all the contracts these former countries made with europe will be erased.the central authority should adopt new status and laws that will go against these contracts.people evolve thats how it is. europeans will just see its the case now in Africa.
