[QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: [qb] Question: Did Frank M. Snowden ever at least concede that Upper Egypt was closely related to North Sudan during the predynastic period? Or did he die insisting that the ancient Egyptians were mahogany brown "Caucasians" unrelated to North-east Africans? [/qb][/QUOTE]Good question. That one I'll have to check out. Far as I remember Snowden pushed a version of the stereotypical "true negro" model, in which everything not meeting the stereotypical construct was dismissed, downplayed, or folded into some sort of "mixed race" model. But even a "mixed race" model falls under popular EUro and American race constructs since being "partially black" STILL makes you black. SO it has been for well nigh three centuries in America for example. While quick to criticize so-called "Afrocentrics" for focusing on race Snowden himself uses the same race categories to push his model, and studiously avoids the implications of the "one drop" standard, namely, that using the same categories he is using, the Egyptians would have been recognized as "black." Snowden wants to have it both ways. He uses Eurocentric "true negro" categories, but rather than be consistent and use the accompanying Eurocentric "one drop" construct, he cops out, or changes the subject.

The above is not to say that Snowden does that have some valuable data to present, but not only is he dated, he also has an inconsistent double standard. If you are using standard Eurocentric race conceptions, how come you are all too willing to use the "true negro" piece, but then want to skip over the "one drop" side of the coin? A similar inconsistency marks several other writers in the field. [/QB][/QUOTE]
