[QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] ^ [b]LMAO[/b] :D Reminds me of Clyde's take that Dravidian is closely related to Mande as well as Ainu. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yep, pretty much that style of pseudo-linguistics. It just sucks that most of the world outside the African/Afro-Diasporan community associates the African Egypt paradigm with these fringe lunatics and therefore treats it like a fringe hypothesis. To be honest, as someone who is interested in history and anthropology, it's created a rift between me and others in that community, even the not-so-racist and more progressive ones. Mind you, most of those people have no problem accepting sophisticated Black civilizations in Mali, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, or even Sudan, yet somehow Kemet and other ancient North African civilizations have to be "not Black" or else you're a fringe wacko. It's been a ongoing source of frustration for me and makes me feel unwelcome in those circles. It wouldn't be so bad if I could change their minds on the topic, but in my experience, most people are too stubborn to change their minds on topics like this, and I no longer have the stamina or patience to get into anthropological arguments anyway. You might as well argue with creationists or flat earthers. [/QB][/QUOTE]
