[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE][b]How does this sound, hey the Egyptians ad "narrow noses", no way they could have been African, and so what the Olmecs had "broad noses" they couldn't have been African. This type of logic drives me nuts![/b][/QUOTE] lol. Similarly, one of the arguments that were a precursor to this thread went as follows: Kemet cannot be considered a Black African civilization because it was not homogeneous, this due to the presence of the Medit. type in the Delta. Doesn't matter that the civilization originated among Black Africans. Doesn't matter that Kemet was predominantly Black African for longer than most civilizations ever existed. Doesn't matter that its cultural origins are rooted in Black Africa. Doesn't matter that they referred to themselves as Black people. Doesn't matter that they repeatedly stated that the African interior was their ancestral homeland. All that matters is that it is provably not exclusively 101% Black African. What civilization in history could meet such a ludicrous litmus test? ? ? Meanwhile: European civilization can be considered white, due to much higher level of homogeniety. And so as with nose shapes, now we get to play with the meaning of homogenous, and twist it to suit prejudicial ends. We simply disregard the fact that European civilization originates in Greece. Greek civilization follows Kemet by at least 1000 years and borrows from Kemet by it's own admission in virtually every aspect. Of course the Greeks cannot reinvent the wheel...nor can European civilization become virginally homogenous a thousand years after the civilized facts of life were related to them in Africa. To claim that European civilization is homogenous and African is not, is equivelant to claiming that ancestors inherit from descendants and not vice versa. I actually recall learning about the Greek "Miracle" as a child in school, until the Greek superiority propaganda piled so high and thick that I concluded that the true miracle is the number of people who actually believed it.
