[QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [QB] [QUOTE] Originally posted by Doug M This thread is about a Dutch museum and has nothing to do with America. But for some reason you keep making these threads and going off the topic to suggest that somehow any and all "backlash" against the idea of black people in the African Nile Valley is somehow legit and historically valid. I mean you are using these threads to attack and or promote random individuals on youtube in trying to fabricate some narrative about Africans not being in African history. None of what you are saying is making absolutely any sense.[/QUOTE]Of course it has to do with America since the exhibition had several example of African American artists who used all sorts of Ancient Egyptian symbols, artifacts and clothes. And talking about the net, there you can even find African Americans who want to expel the modern Egyptians out of Egypt as I already shown. [QUOTE] The internet is open to anybody and everybody and there is a lot of nonsense and pseudoscience in historical scholarship. But that has nothing to do with this Dutch museum exhibit which is simply about modern pop culture which uses many different historical cultures as inspiration. And the Nile Valley is in Africa so it is absurd to say that Africans have no right to emulate ancient history on the Nile, when it is African to begin with.[/QUOTE]The exhibition was not so much about Africans but much of its content was about African Americans, most of which has lost their authentic connection with their ancestors. Ancestors they anyway would not find in Egypt. [QUOTE] And again since this Dutch museum display is about hip hop and black music using elements from the history of the Nile, why isn't appropriation when modern Egypt loves rap music? Sounds like so much hypocrisy to me, because I don't see black people being outraged about it. This discussion is especially dumb when a main component of rap is sampling which can be from music of any culture. So this whole conversation is stupid.[/QUOTE]Not all Egyptians love rap music. At least not by the governing elite. They seem not to like when Ancient Egyptian culture becomes associated with African American pop culture. [/QB][/QUOTE]
