^ I think I agree with the first paragraph BUT not the second one.

If repeating and reaffirming the FACT that ancient Egyptians were black Africans, is what you consider "obsessing" over race then you are WRONG as usual since black African is not a 'race' but a perfectly accurate phenotypical and geographical/ethnological description. The Egyptians were indigenous Africans and color-wise they were indeed black. This has no bearing on the fact that anthropologically and scientifically overall humans cannot be divided into racial groups!

And exactly where is the misunderstanding?? Anthropology is very clear-- race as a scientific entity does not exist! This was shown in multiple threads in the past years, including most recently here and here. Or can you not comprehend what was written by the experts, 'professor'?
