[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]In all these kingdoms a population of Bantu-speaking peasants had been conquered in the 14th or 15th century by a cattle herding people, believed to have been of Nilotic language,[/QUOTE]^ This is the racist Hamite mythology, and rooted in Eurocentric ignorance, and quoted by misguided Africanists out of sheer laziness. If the Tutsi are Nilo-saharan speakers who came into Rwanda in the 14th century, and conquered Bantu speakers -> [b]what Nilo-saharan language did the Tutsi speak?[/b] People who state the hamie myth don't even understand that the Tutsi and Hutu speak the same language with the same dialect. The claim that the Tutsi conquered the Hutu, only to have their native conquering langauge vanish without a trace - is completely ridiculous. When Eurocentrists created this myth, they didn't know *Tutsi langauge* was Bantu - they assumed the Tutsi *imposed* their Hamite language upon hapless Bantu. Eurocentrists continue to foster this kind of myth because they think Africans will believe anything. I don't know why you want to encourage them in this regard. [/QB][/QUOTE]
