[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ Ignoring the frustrated demented male prostitute above. [QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [qb] Some people are concerned that African-Americans who accept that the ancient Egyptians were black are "claiming" the Egyptians' heritage for themselves even though most of them are descended from West Africans. The argument is that black Americans should not identify with an African people other than their own ancestors. To be honest, I somewhat agree with this argument. I don't believe the descendants of West Africans should fancy themselves as being related to ancient Egyptians simply because ancient Egyptians were also black Africans. That would be like a white American descended from Germanic tribesmen claiming the heritage of ancient Greece and Rome simply because the Greeks and Romans were also white Europeans. What do you guys think? Do you think it is okay for African-Americans to consider ancient Egypt as part of their heritage? [/qb][/QUOTE]The fact of the matter is that [i]as[/i] black Africans, West Africans ARE related to other Africans including northeast Africans like Egyptians and Sudanese. Would you deny West Africans and African Americans as being related to Sudanese?? Another fact of the matter is despite the northwest European heritage of most white Americans, most whites still DO try to claim relation to Greeks. Which is why we here more about Greeks and Romans than we do Celts or Germanics. [/QB][/QUOTE]
