[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ozzy: [b]Wally, unless you can understand what is being directed at you, there is not much point debating anything with you. I will simply try to make my words a little simpler so as to be understood . To claim that the subject is not debatable, quoting experts such as Diop to support your argument, and at the same time being at odds with the very same expert regarding one of you prime evidance, makes your comment very week to say the least. In other words if your translations of the Mural of races is different than that of Diop, is there not a difference of opinion? And does that not make the whole mural open to debate, and if the mural is open for debate the subject for certain is. And lastly if you do not agree with Diop are you not "showing selected images to support your beliefs?" phenomenon? LOL[/b][/QUOTE] You deliberately try to evade the point (i.e., the Egyptians' own self-identification) by atempting to divert the issue to what you suppose is a difference of opinion between mine and Diop's interpretation of the mural. (You know, keep the Egyptians out of the equation). So, I'll indulge you: Labler 1Black 1non-Black 2Black 2Black Diop Egyptian European Blacks Semite Wally Egyptian Semite Africans European Egypt Ret Namu Nahasu Tamhu Trans Men Nomads Strangers Red people Diop did not translate the text on the mural, his main emphasis was to show that the Egyptians were Black Africans. The fact that I translated the Egyptian labels next to each figure merely allowed me to distinguish the Semitic Namu from the European Tamhu. The difference is in the detail, not in the principle. The essential point is that the Egyptians described themselves as a Black people--Kmem.u Play with that one... [/QB][/QUOTE]
