[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by mena7: [qb] The Greek and Roman colonisers of Egypt discriminated against the native Egyptian, they treated the black Egyptian as second class citizen.. [/qb][/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [qb] You guys are more knowledgeable about this than me ...but since I am a skeptic...and I read more about AE since joining the forum. I question that belief. Reading about the lineage of Cleopatra I very much doubt that is the case. It seems that the greeks were fughking the natives more so than even their fellow Greeks. Assuming the Greeks were white, it seems liked they were fughking the the natives every which way. But that is not the suprise. What is suprising is the offsprings were allowed to ascend the Ptolomey throne. See Cleo, her father, grandfather and even her younger brother. And they were the only one I read up on. Cleo young brother was murdered to prevent him from ascending the throne. He is confirmed to have a black Egyptian mother ..if not Cleo. Now I question everything a white person writes. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yet yet you are far from enitirely dismissing DNA analysis written by the cave beast. [QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [qb] BTW Lioness. What is the point of the post. Copy and paste. Bold or highlight your point. [/qb][/QUOTE]The thread is an outline of how the Romans ran Egypt. Your assumption is that because occupiers fvckd the occupied they treated them as equals. Might I remind you of the plantation owners in the deep South, although treatment of Egyptians might be more along the lines of dominant nationalism rather than racism. Look up "Fayum mummy portraits" in wikipedia and also in google images for portraits of mixed The point at which Egypt was never to return to governing itself was the invasion of the Assyrians followed by Persians (short periods) , then Greeks who were supposedly not as oppressive as the Persians, then Romans then Arabs. But Egypt had had the longest running empire in history. Keep in mind the topic of this thraed is Roamn Egypt rather than Greek Egypt. googlebooks is a great resource go there and type in "Roman Egypt" and "Greek Egypt" I haven't read that much about these topics yet they have a wide variety of authors there including the likes of Molefi Asante and Diop as well as Genetic textbooks http://books.google.com/ _______________________________________________ However this is a thread about a book called "The Invention of Racism in Classical Antiquity" http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=008196 I didn't get around to reading it, there's a googlebooks link there which you can read parts of the book [/QB][/QUOTE]
