A Black African Semite? Oh well, they same bunch claim the Ptolemy dynasty (Greek) was black.
There IS a difference between the WEst African/Bantus and the Ethiopian tribes, physically, culturally, linguistically, culturally, everything. The Ethiopians were in the horn of Africa, very close to the centres of civilisation (Egypt-Sumeria-Harappa). Things are not as black and white as certain persons like Farrakhan would like to potray.
Egyptians were a mixed people -- maybe that's why they reached their greatness -- by taking the best of both worlds available to them.
