[QUOTE]Originally posted by tropicals redacted: [QB] Claus3600 here under a new login. Anglo has sent me an apology for his former activities on Egypt Search, and, for what it's worth, acknowledgment that the Ancient Egyptians were Black Africans - Subject: Are you Claus3600? Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2013 21:13:49 +0000 Are you Claus from Egyptsearch? I saw your email was posted there. Clarify if you are, as I want to tell you something. Subject: RE: Are you Claus3600? Date Sun, 1 Dec 2013 10:55:00 +0000 What do you want to say? Subject: RE: Are you Claus3600? Date: Sun, 1 Dec 2013 16:28:07 +0000 Claus, I want to apologize for my comments and behavior. This is sincere. I no longer subscribe to virtually any of the theories, or viewpoints I formerly espoused, and have distanced myself from them. This most notably includes the subject of race. There was no "team". The different stances, ideas, beliefs and so forth which were dug up, stem from the fact I suffer from XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Racism however is something I have increasingly rejected for the last half year. I no longer have any links to any such views, and have renounced them. It is undeniable however I may hold other views which are considered extreme, given my personality. This is something I am not trying to deny. Here I am being as honest as I can, and it is hard to write. On the subject of race, the turning point was those discussions I was having with someone else on the forum. I then read Jean Hiernaux, Keita, and so forth properly. So, since you only know me really from Egyptsearch - I will just say this since I don't want to dwell on race anymore: the ancient Egyptians were African. Denial of this [and I should know of course] only stems from outdated racial typology (i.e. "Caucasoid") or discredited hierarchical/supremacist race models. There is no evidence for them whatsoever. Even when I was formerly posting such theories, I failed to find modern sources (and I was really the only person with a notable presence online uploading outdated material/translating works - Wiercinski etc). There are few people who will own up to being wrong, I am admitting though I was. Finally I will point out that I have no interest in being your, or anyone else's friend who I previously debated, I am just apologizing to those I may have offended, setting the record straight and moving on and trying to better my health. Subject: RE: Are you Claus3600? Date: Sun, 1 Dec 2013 17:25:34 +0000 In your opinion therefore, are people right when they describe the ancient Egyptians as predominantly 'black Africans', regardless of whether 'black' refers to populations from the Horn of Africa, or groups such as the Tutsis? Look forward to reading your response. Subject: RE: Are you Claus3600? Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2013 00:02:34 +0000 Yes they are correct. Two sources from Keita, I had access through a classics archive, which explains this - Keita, S. O. Y. (1993a) “Black Athena: ‘Race,’ Bernal and Snowden”. Arethusa. xxvi. pp. 295-314. Keita, S. O. Y. (1993b). “Response to Bernal and Snowden”. Arethusa. xxvi. pp. 329-33. Everything I posted to you in the last email is true. For me, racialism/racism was delusional and it deteriorated XXXXXXXXXX. I no longer want to write or research this topic, and I have/still am in the process of cutting off all contact. My past is terrible, however I have better help, and am trying to improve. Sent: 02 December 2013 01:59:49 OK. Good luck with getting yourself sorted out. [/QB][/QUOTE]
