If this is what America calls Black then I don't see how anyone can argue against calling Egyptians Black! I certainly cannot. By this definition, so are the Greeks even today!

^ LOL that is a perfect example of how 'racial' politics including racism itself is all a matter of subjective opinion and bias.
Unlike the gentleman above, the Egyptians by and large were not a 'mixed' people (as some would like to believe) let alone of white or European ancestry but were dark skinned (black) natives of the African continent who called themselves kmtwy (black).
There is no confusion about it, and certainly one needs not reference African Americans or Americans of African descent from more modern times.

Louisiana votes for Indian-American Mon, 22 Oct 2007 05:38:03
A US Republican Congressman with Indian origin has won the gubernatorial election in Louisiana and become the 1st Indian to hold a US state.
Oxford educated Bobby Jindal,36, is the youngest governor and the first non-white to hold Louisiana post since the 1870s.
Jindal carried more than half the vote on Saturday, against 11 opponents. With about 92 percent of the vote in, Jindal had 53 percent with 625,036 votes -more than enough to win outright and avoid a November 17 runoff.
Democrat Walter Boasso scored 208,690 votes or 18 percent; Independent John Georges had 1167,477 votes or 14 percent; Democrat Foster Campbell had 151,101 or 13 percent. Eight candidates divided the rest. “I'm asking all of our supporters to get behind our new governor,'' Georges said in a concession speech.
When Jindal takes office in January, he will become the country's youngest state governor in office. He pledged to fight corruption and rid the state of those “feeding at the public trough,'' revisiting a campaign theme.
^ Not only is he the first person of Indian descent to hold a U.S. state office, but he is the first non-white governor of Louisiana since the 1870s (Post-Civil War/Reconstruction)!

That is P.B.S. Pinchback and his father was white (obviously).. So technically he wouldn't have been classified as "Black" under American social criteria, but as 'Mulatto".. He actually was appointed and only served for 35 days. Here is the first elected African American governor, Lawrence D Wilder..

Practically none of those people however, would be considered black in the black community if seen randomly walking down the street or something. Definitely not.. Again, back in the days most would be referred to as Mulatto or just simply "colored".. People overemphasize the one drop rule imo, usually people who haven't spent much time in America's black community.

That governor was never referred to as black. He was colored a catch word in the USA for anyone of Middle Passage descent.
And yes, outside the USA, a little after that governor's time period, Europeans bordering the Meditteranean were labeled colored too.
The Black American community is just that, a community, not an anthropological definition of black though not purely a social meaning either.
In my experience with Black Americans, they seem to be readily able to tell someone they call passing for white -- a sociological phenomena enforced by whites who being the majority population saw no need to count quadroons and octoroons among the whites as was the necessity in the West Indies and South America.
Anyone who ever saw Adam Clayton Powell in the flesh, not merely in a picture, never had any difficulty seeing him as one of the colored population whereas something about Walt Disney would exclude him.
Benjamin Oliver Davis has features that make it hard to class him as other than an African descendent.
Actually, imo, all but Butterfield are easily recognizable as "black coloreds" and could never fit in a society of Europeans anywhere in Europe.
And yes particularly in the USA south many quadroons and octoroons silently faded into the white population as long as none of their mulatto or more black kin gave them away.
Don't fall for the sucker punch everytime. These categories were invented and enforced by the whites. Blaming them on the blacks, for continuing to count these more than half white coloreds as one of their own, is insane and a fool's game.

Feel free to point out where American racial classifications have surfaced in our discussion of ancient Kmt?
In Brazil, there is a one drop rule for whites. So what?
In modern Egypt, there is no 'racial' thinking at all, atleast in the American sense, but a color classification system including wheat and milk skin colors as well...
So what? Well, relevance isn't totally empty, since it is Egypt we're talking of.
This thread amounts to nothing but possible ad-homina (ie: bashing the poster instead of his argument) and clowning. Nothing more, nothing less, and nothing new.
By the way, the Egyptian/Arabic word for black is aswad which is used to refer to the indigenous Egyptians, more of which living towards Upper Egypt, which IS relevant ...

YES.
Plus they seem to forget, that if you are white enough here, you can choose, as many did.
One guy in particular chose his black side even though he had blonde hair, and spied on the KKK for the black community LOL !
Seriously though, many 'white' Americans have African ancestry, infact, many Europeans in general - Same thing with many 'blacks'/African Americans.
A lot of peoples who are darker than Europeans catch on to the fact that black is a more political division than a geneologic one, and choose black.
I've seen this happen with Asians, Arabs, Latin-looking Americans, and so-called Latinos, along with mixed [REALLY] whites...
though many in each of these ethnicities leave for Latinos often have their views about blacks... you know what.
Either way,
when this
= black
and this
(clickable image)
= white,
you know you can truly say: Only in America!
(Funny, I almost messed up and put more accurate labels under each of the pictures!)

Are you referring to **ancient** Egyptians? If so,...

...were there no distinctions made between ancient Greeks and ancient Egyptians?...or are you saying that Greeks *today* have become "blacker"?

What is a more African looking "Black American"?
You said it. Now you define it.
You're pulling your old veiled caucasian, negro race dogma. Only you avoid using those terms and in place substitute words that you think will avoid getting you called out on it. You act like somebody that has schitzophrenia.
Now watch he'll chopstick something to the effect that he is against these terms and will link to some post of his as proof. Then he'll be right back using his code words for "negro" again.

What makes you an authority on Africans and African Americans? The fact that you average about a hundred posts every 7 to 10 days. That even being awol from this forum for about 4 months you still average over 300 posts a month.
So you're the expert. What African Americans are you associated with? Do you have an AA girlfriend/wife or maybe boyfriend/husband?
Somehow I don't believe you could wind up with either.
So lets have the proof that AAs don't get along based on the fantasies you ascribe to.
Also while your at it philipeeno, (and I'm going by your race fantasies here) explain why Harold Ford Jr. lost his election bid and Barack Obama is trailing in his election bid.
Explain to me J.C. Watts, David Dinkens (oh maybe I shouldn't use him, because according to your lunacy he's not negro enough), Harvey Gant.
Yet again you've shown that you have absolutely no idea of what you're posting about. You ought to start obsessing the Philopeeenes. Maybe that wretched island might evolve into a half-way decent place for a change. Although if the intellect that you are projecting in your posts is brought there, it is more likely to regress rather than progress.

Hey Still_Not_Done.. I assume that you don't live in the said black community that I'm referring to, hence your asinine statements and universally applicable ranting. From experience of actually living and breathing in America as a black African-American, I must say that what I've stated is 100% accurate. Most AAs who are mixed, identify as such. "I am black and hispanic, I am black and Korean, I am black mixed with white, or since that's more common place, they'd simply say, "I'm mixed". Tiger Woods is not the only person who does this, it is just a fact and a reality. If not, like for say the instance of Barrack Obama who is ashamed of his white ancestry, other African Americans will clearly point it out for him. African-Americans aren't as dumb as you think to where they'd desperately cling (identity-wise) to anything remotely resembling themselves. Every person you've named has noted white ancestry, so I don't see how this would apply to your "true negroe" myth. I assume that you must be mixed, given the anger, no? As for what planet I live on? Probably the most diverse; the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area (California).. Now please stop making yourself into an idiot, as you obviously are not black and/or do not reside anywhere near me within 5,000 miles.
Side note: Whomever you see as an African-American is your business, though you're grasping for straws since "African-American" and "Black" are two different titles.

The fact is Maynard Jackson was an AA and was thought as an AA by AAs in Atlanta and elsewhere across the country.
The same goes for the others.
Now do us all a favor and provide proof that the above was not so. Instead of trying to mimic the posting of other posters.
The clock is running.
I don't need to provide proof of anything since African-American doesn't = Black, it simply refers to someone with African ancestry who at some point in time is descendant from a slave who survived the middle passage. Provide evidence that these people are considered black in the relevant (black) community, and not mixed, if it is my claim that you're directly trying to rebut. Maynard Jackson, the proclaimed "first black Mayor of Atlanta", is an exception on that list in that this is widely proclaimed, which is why you try and use him to generalize the others.

Exactly what I figured. No evidence. You're dismissed from class and can now put on the conical shaped hat. You know the one.
And since you're "Black" and not AA, why don't you just call yourself "Negro"? Afterall they are the same.
Care to have that cone shaped hat resized to XXL?
This just illustrates how whites can manipulate the brainless.

^You make absolutely no sense and what evidence can I provide other than showing you first hand? I can definitely prove that nearly all have substantial white ancestry. Also, when have I ever said that I was not African-American? I definitely am and identify as such, but I'm black first and foremost. You simply accused me of lying about my experience, experience which cannot be materially proven unless you experience it with me as I can only report it based on my subjective interpretation of those photos and how it would apply where I was raised. On the other hand, you're a disgruntled non-black or mongrel who wants to be closer to whites and are obviously taken back by my observations/opinion, hence, again the anger. No one is worried about your or your bufoonery..

The picture of the governor comes from a Black History website. I simply was curious to find out about non-White Governors after Lousinana voted in the first non-White Governor and this is what I find.
My arugment should be what is noted:
Most White Americans see Egyptians as non-Black because of the features they see in Egyptian art work even though they live in a society where people of clearly White features are politically and socially considered Black.
It is simply the double standard that I lament.

Note that those European researchers who commented on the physiognomies of the AEs pointed out-- appealing to the facial features that Europeans always use when they classify "racially"--that the lips of the AEs were "thick", their noses "short and thick", their chins "weak" and their jaws " moderately prognathous". Just peruse the observations of people like Denon, Champollion, Volney and others--who actually visited the Pyramids.
What forced such observers to claim that the Egyptians were "caucasoid" or "Hamitic" was that they[the observers] just could not associate "civilisation" with what they referred to as "negroids".
A clear case of cognitive dissonance.

You really need to quit making stupid statements in public. Its not like anybody here has a high opinion of you to begin with.
Some of those guys look like the so called "Berbers". They are Africans too, care to lie and say they aren't. And guess what they were brought to the Americas as well. Don't believe, then try me.
I know this really _____s with people because it trashes their whole fantasy about Africans and slavery. Here is something else to pontificate. If they will bring the so called "Berbers", who wouldn't they bring. The answer is this simple no one was immune to be brought over. That's why African Americans have the most varied looks of any ethnic group of people on this planet in my opinion. That is why I have yet to see people from an African country that don't like certain AAs.

Maybe self-hating, mongrelized Africans such as yourself who can't seem to get along with anybody (including intra-ethnically), which is why you should speak for yourself. Your idiocy and racist foolishness in no way represents or defines African or diasporic thought. You are merely a bitter wretch with no where else to vent for your own inherent, child-like insecurities.

Remember the story of Jason & the Golden Fleece?
He tossed a stone up high. It dropped on the head of one of the Serpent's Teeth soldiers. The hit soldier accused the next soldier of pelting him. That soldier backed up on another soldier who made off balance stepped on the foot of a nearby soldier. They all fell out fighting each other.
Jason walked away with the Fleece without a battle.

Your idiocy and racist foolishness in no way represents or defines African or diasporic thought. You are merely a bitter wretch with no where else to vent for your own inherent, child-like insecurities.
quote: You know just as well as I do that all those guys Yonis posted are European 'whitish' looking due to obvious European ancestry!
Again how do you know what their ancestry is? I just posted that some of those guys look like the so called "Berbers" and that they too were brought to the Americas. Which I noticed that you conveniently tried to avoid.
You can cry in your philpeeno beer all you want about that fact. But facts never change. Maybe you should worry more about your own life than sit around your computer posting 100 posts a week fantasizing about AAs.
quote: YOU are the one who brings up black peoples, and seems to have a problem with Somalis.
Who mentioned Somalis? I didn't you're the one who brought them up. Playing wet nurse to supposedly grown men. That sounds somewhat fruity to me.
As a matter of fact the Somali is the one posting pictures of AAs in apparent aganst over their diversity. Maybe he's pissed off because there are AAs that look closer to being Arabs than he is. Or maybe he feels left out. He shouldn't feel left out since there are "non-bantu" somalis that are damn near replicas of AAs.

Still_Not_Done, that was your third and final warning for insults and trolling. A ban is to follow.

If those people are straight up African-americans then what is there to deal with me on later? I showed the standards of what can be seen as "black" in America, i didn't critisize it, so calm down and stop overdosing on your coffe, two cups in the morning is enough for you i think, lol.
Btw those people are definetly not berbers, you can see that they're north europeans with some slight touch of african admixture.
