Isn't that odd. When the black people insist that they're "African-American," I ask them if Americans of Egyptian, Moroccan and Libyan descent should also be called "African-Americans" because their countries of origin are clearly in Africa.

"No! And you're a racist!" is their only reply.

I love it when race-baiting asshats react irrationally to reality.

If Tut was black, and I sure dont know what color he was. What happened to blacks? How come they retro Darwin'ed? If black people ruled Egypt what happened to them? Now they cant even rule South Africa without starving half the population. Is there such a thing as reverse evolvement? Egypt was a powerful country , There is no such thing as a powerful black country today. What Happened?

After a couple of hundred years or so ..time, that great equalizer,(and bacteria)...make everyone pretty much equal.

Basically in 50 yrs or so me and Arnold Swartzenegger are gonna look pretty much the same. :)

Did some folks get mixed up and think this was a Tookie exhibit?

Hey, you know what the best part about that whole protest was?

Nobody missed work!

The Left must certainly consider the African-descended peoples of the world too pathetic to act on these rightwing racial supremacist "we invented civilization" fantasies, or else it wouldn't give them its blessing.

The fascist movements of the last century did not arise among the leading nations but in nations long divided (Germany, Italy) or isolated from the rest of the world (Japan) and thus reacting against an inferiority complex. One can't help but wonder if the Left would continue to impute "honorary leftism" to such otherwise rightwing attitudes if a genuine fascist pan-African movement were to arise.

"Ancient Egyptians from Memphis (Egypt) would have had to go to the back of the bus in Memphis, Tennessee, during the days of segregation," the Wellesley, Mass.-based author said in a telephone interview. "The Egyptians were kind of copper-colored."

""We're visual people, so whatever they throw at us, we're going to take it as a fact, when in reality it's just a theory," said demonstrator Asante Waa. "We're afraid of the implications that this recreation is going to have on kids, especially on black kids.""

Doesn't this one sentence contain a contradiction? She states that "when in reality it's just a theory" and then go on to say that she's afraid of the implication on black kids? In other words, it's not a theory to her, but a fact that Tut was black. This would seem to contradict her words about it being a theory.

The left just seems to contradict itself whenever it opens its mouth these days.

Demonstrators say King Tut exhibit depicts wrong skin color

Oh for the good old days...
...when a US tour by King Tut spawned a ladies T-shirt with two profiles
of King Tut and the caption:
"Keep Your Hands Off My Tuts"

But now we have the hyper-civility of political correctness.
And a lot less humor.

Ramses II had red hair.

Tut, like most Egyptians today is mediteranean descent. The black color of the skin is due to the oils and spices applied during mummification. There were black rulers of ancient Egypt -- the Nubians. The Nubian empire conquered Egypt and ruled it for about 200 years and there are certainly people of black descent in Egypt today. For all of their politically correct wishful thinking Tut is not black and black Egyptians did not have wings and fly around the pyramids. Get a grip you twits out there. A large part of indigenous africans are white/olive skinned mediteraneans like the Egyptians, Moroccans, Algerians, Lybians whose ancestors have ALWAYS lived there.

Didn't we go through this nonsense a year or two ago?

[rwfromkansas]

He was from Egypt.

He wasn't black you stupid idiots.

He was brown.

"Ancient Egyptians from Memphis (Egypt) would have had to go to the back of the bus in Memphis, Tennessee, during the days of segregation,"

Well sure. They'd have to do that today too though I'd wager you'd ship em underneath in baggage. I mean you rarely, even today, ride dead passengers on the bus especially with the living customers.

OK, KT was black. The Sphinx was obviously a white guy of European origin.

Those people are idiots.

The Copts were fair skinned. This is silly.
