[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kem-Au: [QB] While I agree that Egyptology has skewed the accuracy of AE history, we must be careful not to fall into the same traps. I agree that the reason we even have these discussions is because of racism, and the absurd beliefs that black people were incapable of civilizing themselves. But this issue is not black and white, so to speak. In addition to what ausar mentioned, Martin Bernal, a white man, argued that Africans (along with Asiatics) brought civilization to Europe in his book Black Athena. He also wrote that many of AE's dynasties were black. And Wallis Budge, another white man (and nearly a century ago), wrote that the AE language was an African language, not an Asian one. We shouldn't make the mistake of prejudging a group of people. This was the mistake that led to the confusion of AE history. I'm sure there are plenty white people who believe that AE's were black. At the same time I'm sure that there are black people who believe AE's were not black. In fact, I happen to know one. [/QB][/QUOTE]
