Of course, the Arabs claim the ancient Egyptians were Arab and that they built the pyramids.

King Tut (King Tut)
Now when he was a young man,
He never thought he'd see
People stand in line to see the boy king.

(King Tut) How'd you get so funky?
(funky Tut) Did you do the monkey?
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut).

(king Tut) Now, if I'd known
they'd line up just to see him,
I'd trade in all my money
And bought me a museum. (king Tut)

Buried with a donkey (funky Tut)
He's my favorite honkey!*
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut)

Dancin' by the Nile, (Disco Tut)
The ladies love his style, (boss Tut)
Rockin' for a mile (rockin' Tut)
He ate a crocodile.

He gave his life for tourism.
Golden idol!
He's an Egyptian
They're sellin' you.

Now, when I die,
now don't think I'm a nut,
don't want no fancy funeral,
Just one like ole king Tut. (king Tut)

He coulda won a Grammy,
Buried in his Jammies,
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia,
He was born in Arizona, got a condo made of stone-a,
King Tut!

*Case closed.

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!

Good morning.
"Waving the red, black and green African flag,"

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

You really do learn something new every day, don't you.

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.
