[QUOTE]Originally posted by neo*geo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b]Originally posted by Ausar [b]On the term "black", what African people called themselves "black" before Arabs and Europeans called them "black?" [/b] Err, the kemetians? Is this a trick question? LMAO...the Ancient Egyptians called themselves Black, before "Black" became a "negative" identifier.[/B][/QUOTE] If khemet meant black people why didn't they apply the term to other parts of Africa where blacks were known to exist? Why did they use different names for the Nubians(Nehesy)? I'm not trying to mess with you, I have just seen few places in Africa where people used skin color to identify themselves until those names were given to them by Arabs(Sudan) or Europeans. The Western European social rules for race which are still rampant in the US today didn't exist 5000 years ago. They had different standards for race and from their own images it seems they saw themselves as different from Asiatics, Indo-Europeans, [i]and[/i] other Africans. And by "different" I mean unique.
