[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Antalas: [qb] It isn't or else people like stephen curry wouldn't be seen as "black"..[/qb][/QUOTE]I already explained to Archaeopteryx that in North America, black is attached to black ancestry i.e. African ancestry no matter how light the person's skin is. The converse is also true in Africa where Stephen Curry would be called "white". That still does not change the fact that Egyptians were not only indigenous Africans but did indeed have dark skin for them to be called melanchroi (black) by the Greeks and maure by the Romans! But that is what irks you doesn't it. ;) [QUOTE][qb]..and if it was only a color label then it's useless and shouldn't be used...[/qb][/QUOTE]And how is a label useless if it in fact serves its purpose, in this case describing color?!! :eek: You are obviously suffering from a psychological syndrome one that I and others in this forum see with a lot of fair-skinned (white) North Africans. [QUOTE][qb]People use it to talk about black africans certainly not about Indians or the few hundreds andaman islanders lol[/qb][/QUOTE]Apparently you don't realize that very dark skinned Indians are called [i]kalu[/i] (black) by lighter-skinned Indians, and Andamanese are not the only black peoples in Southeast Asia, there the other so-called [b]Negri[/b]to groups like the Aeta of the Philippines, the Semang of Malaysia, Maniq people of southern Thailand, etc. Not to mention the Papuan New-Guineans, Melaneseians, and Papuan New-Guineans ALL are called 'black' by their Asian neighbors before the arrival of Europeans. [QUOTE][qb]Exceptions don't make the rule.[/qb][/QUOTE]Indeed, they don't. The rule is very dark skin = black. [QUOTE][qb]Ah so now you agree with me about the inaccuracy of your American identity labels? Thanks.[/qb][/QUOTE]How is it inaccurate if it is actually describing color?? [QUOTE][qb]and you aren't Asian you really think you'll fool me? Yes random filipino obsessed with black africans and pushing the afrocentrist narrative XD[/qb][/QUOTE]I'm not obsessed with Africans but with the TRUTH! Egypt is in Africa and its people are African so to call that Afrocentric is like saying someone who defends the whiteness of Celtic people is Eurocentric! [b]LMAO[/b] it is just plain common sense. By the way, I'm not the only Filipino. There's a guy name Paul Kekai Manansala who even had a whole web group on the black African identity of the Egyptians called Ta-Seti and even wrote articles proving it with bio-anthropological evidence! [QUOTE][qb]You're probably some AA with a distant filipino ancestor and larp as a full one XD [/qb][/QUOTE]So one has to be African American to defend the truth that you are so desperate to deny? What about fellow poster Brandon who is white? Or better yet what of all the white academics and Egyptologists who also maintain Egypt's black identity like [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=010504]Dr. Kara Cooney[/URL], [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=010269;p=1]Dr. Sally-Ann Ashton[/URL] or better yet Egyptian Egyptologists like Ahmed Saleh and Mostafa Gadalla?!! Are all of these people African Americans too?! [b]LOL[/b] Face it, you've lost the argument before you begun! I just use you as entertainment. :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
