[QUOTE]Originally posted by Karem: [QB] Liberals, or progressives are the worst offenders, but them being "resistant" regarding how they view Kemet isn't a blanket affront to all Black people. They're more enlightened liberal counterparts, who acknowledge African civilizations, aren't exactly better. For them, the representation of Kemet is the catalyst for concern and outrage, but they're largely silent on the daily exploitation of working class Black people. Its interesting you mention that. A few years ago in England, there was a student union president of Algerian descent who got some heat, at least online, for identifying as Black or politically Black. Some of the criticism was from people racialized as Black i.e sub-Saharan. There was a pages and pages long thread on this site about the use of the term too. It might be an unpopular opinion, but not every instance of people recognizing difference between above and below the Sahara is racism or white supremacy. People will sometimes talk about how foundational Egyptologists like Petrie used this narrative and the 'Hamitic Hypothesis' as if it somehow benefitted the modern population, but forget to mention that despite his beliefs about Ancient Egyptians being closer to Europeans, he was racist about the current inhabitants of the land, thought of them less favourably than the ancients, and used said beliefs to help justify European colonialism.
