Well, gee, these people have to be right, they're African in heritage and everyone in Africa is black, right? After all, Teresa Heinz Kerry is black, Saddam Hussein is black, the dead vermin who headed up the PLO was black, Moammar Qaddafi is black and all those other people in Northern Africa were and are black, right, just like those people in South Africa.
What's that you say? All those people are white? Well, how can that be? I'm sure you'll be getting a call from the Rev. Jesse Jackson about this! Why those assertions that those people are white is like a slap in my face!

I did not visit that exhibit at the Met Mus...
I was still going through recovery and limited mobility!

Blacks should pay Jews reparations for slavery. If by Blacks you mean "Egyptians," I've had the same thought. Logical consistency isn't one of the great attributes of the modern era.

I seem to remember a while ago a white person from South Africa applied for an "African American" scholarship. The liberals had conniptions over that one.

" I even remember Victor Buono reciting poetry on Carson."As well as Charlton Heston. Good stuff...
Of course Johnny did that Carol Wayne skit with a sleazy Ferris whats-his-name ("stop at the Schlossen Cut-off, get out of your car, cut off your schlossen," lol.)

Good morning.

Wow, I didn't know there was an "African" flag.

Read your bible. It clearly speaks of the Hebrew and the Egyptians. Forget what you think you know until you have studied the facts. Everything is not how it appears and I believe in the Golden Rule. The ones who control most of the Gold....Rules. History is written by the ones with the gold and it can be easily edited to reflect the holder of wealth. Look past all of this and read the bible. It clearly states how the Egyptians looked during the Hebrew exodus from Egypt.
To: Rebelbase
What people also have to remember is the colors used in paintings had metaphysical meaning as well. Colors in Egypt did not mean the same thing as what they ended up meaning in the West.
Black or green = "fertile, soil, potential"
Red = "life, blood"
White = "death, spirit"
KMT was the name the Egyptians gave their own land - "Kemet" in our language - which meant "black earth" - the kind of earth that was perfect for creating life.
To see people get so caught up in skin color and call that culture is the ultimate form of racism.

I was born of Egyptian parents and I have always known the truth about where I came from. I have read all of these different passages about what color the ancient Egyptians were.
The Whites who have written so many negative comments should totally shut up because they don't know what they are talking about. The Blacks are wrong as well but are closer to the truth than all of the whites. You should be ashamed of arguing about something before checking all the facts first.
Early Egyptians were Black Africans. They were later taken over by the Romans. The exchange of power went back and forth over many years so Egypt was both Black and White.
My entire family came from the Greeks, Romans and African Blacks. I still consider myself to be a Black person today because that's what I am. I originated from Black Africans not Charleston Heston!

I saw a special on Cleopatra many years ago on The Learning Channel. They discussed Cleopatra's Greek heritage and noted that there had been speculation that she may have been blue-eyed with blonde hair. In fact, there are some paintings where she is depicted this way.
