[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundjata: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Alive-(What Box): [qb] Agree with Ausarian and Nebsen's above posts. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Knowledgeiskey718: [IMG]http://mathildasanthropologyblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/egyptian-spearmen.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]Umm, ok. So is this to correlate Will Smith to the AE and Snipes to the Kushites? If not, I'll take it as a random example of yours to support your point, which is trivial. [/QUOTE]An example of how I meant it from the beginning Will Smith is a lighter brown than most depictions of the Nubians, whereas most depictions of Egyptians show a more brown-reddish hue, like Will, both Ancient Egyptians/Nubians are still African 100%.[/QUOTE][b]@ Knowledge & @ Sundiata just so ya know:[/b] My point in posting the art as I did was to enphasize that the black/brown divisions were overrated, and that it therefore doesn't matter that Will is playing. There are [b]for sure[/b] people his color from Nigeria to Sudan and the Horn, and in Central Africa. Just as there are people Djimon Honsou's color in the back streets of Iraq. [b]Knowledge[/b], the picture [b]you posted[/b], which is of [ulr=http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0gJDgFvcO9asN/340x.jpg]Paul Kagame[/url], is of a Central African. The psychological skin-color apartheid-concept ideology nonchalantly propogated by Eurocentrism and those who passively accept it [b]has no basis in either Kemetian iconography or literature or history.[/b] [IMG]http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/5/5a/400px-Tomb_of_Ramesses.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img81.exs.cx/img81/4571/ancientegyptianethnographicmur.jpg[/IMG] (^Condensations - in each row, the first character is Egyptian, third is labeled Southerner) Actual photo from the walls: [IMG]http://manuampim.com/Images/4Rmt.jpg[/IMG] Four "Rmt" ['Egyptians'] [IMG]http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/6537/ampin3nhsywbo5.jpg[/IMG] Four "Nhsy" [Southerners] [IMG]http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/6537/ampin3nhsywbo5.jpg[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE]Thank you! Good post. :) Ausarian brought the point home as well that even as an outside observer, it is painfully obvious to me the misconceptions non-Africans hold about the continent while also never visiting there. Hence, some of the random picture spam that is overtly out of context. Such has more to do with the innate human disposition to discern and place exaggerated emphasis on nuance. Such simplifies what is otherwise more complex than they seek to approach it (there is much overlap as far as skin complexion and other features in NEAfrica). Simply, stating that a Black man (WIll Smith) isn't Black enough to play another Black man is almost a form of self-hating ignorance based on the propagation of Eurocentric conquer and divide strategy. They are unwillful puppets who play right into opposing hands. [/QB][/QUOTE]
