[QUOTE]Originally posted by neo*geo: [QB] Obenga - I know you don't believe that in my 23 years in the USA I haven't seen or been a victim of racsim. I know you don't believe that I haven't studied African history long enough to know there is bias today and in the past, brazen racism. Whatever you think, just know that I've come to my conclusions on my own by reviewing the sum of my life's experiences with whites and different people of color. I am drawn to Egypt not for Afrocentric reasons, and not for western idealistic reasons. I only admire Egypt and feel a kindred connection to the ancient Egyptians. The bottom line is that the terms 'black' or 'negro' are social terms given to certain types Africans by Europeans. While we all have our own opinions about who is black and who isn't I take extra care not to label mixed people on the fringes of 'blackness' one thing or another. I agree with the premise that ancient Egypt was founded by a black African people but I take issue with labeling the ancient lower Egyptians black since they are more racially ambiguous. That's all. It doesn't take away from the fact that AE were an African people and it doesn't advance the cause of eurocentricism. [/QB][/QUOTE]
