[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [QB] the lioness, You try desperately to twist truth and logic in order to make them conform to your own ideology... [QUOTE] [b]you wrote[/b] If Kammau referred to skin color and not the soil of the Nile, the Kememous would have also called the Kushites Kammau or some 'khom'(kam.m) related word. But they did not. [/QUOTE]This bogus and illogical argument atempts to ignore the human historical reality of [i]ethnic exclusivity[/i]. a) The Ancient Kememou also referred to themselves as 'Rome.t' which means 'the Men'/ 'the People' - they were aware that there were other nations of men/people on earth... Swaziland "-the Black Nation", floating in a sea of Black nations-- and the Ancient Kememou and the Swazis weren't the only cultures to refer to themselves as 'the Black Nation' [/b] [QUOTE] [/QUOTE]The Kemeou had an exclusive sense of nationalism and association with extensive farming the black soil of the Nile. You can't prove what you are saying about the Kememou and ethnicity and it is a theory that has no consistency in terms of classifying Egyptians classifying people by color which they did not. At term like "the black nation" can be applied exclusively as a phrase containing two words, don't get it twisted, that does not mean that the word for "black" could not be applied to a person of another nation. Also color categorization makes no logical sense unless you are neighboring other people who are not "black". Even if you had an exclusive word for black when used for your own nation, if it was the practice of a given culture to categorize people by color there would be a second word for black that would be used to describe people of a dark color who wer not of that nation, for example the Kushites who were in fact "blacker" than the Egyptians. Your only source is a dictionary and in that dictionary it is unclear what the association of the color black is to the Kememou. Of course you fail to mention that in that dictionary of your namesake Wally Budge he lists a word for negro: "nuhes". But you would never post that page. The Kem derivative is not exclusive to the Kememou. As you have frequently listed, it is used in a lot of words. Your logic is off in a number of ways. The Egyptians did not classify people according to skin colors. This is where you are fundamentally wrong and your logic off. They classified people by nationality. That's different from America for example, where people have, in additional to being classified by nationality have a tradition of classifying people by color. In America calling people black or white is standard practice. But the Egyptians did not associate people with the words they used for colors. Not so many years ago in America as well as calling people "black" or "white" many Americans called Asians "yellow", Native Indians "red" and Hispanics "brown" The Egyptians had words for color. But they did not apply them to each of the different regional groups people (any actually) groups such as we often see looking different in numerous wall paintings, Table of Nations and so on (which you corrupted by substituting the word for "race" a concept unknown to the AEs). You can't escape that Wally your logic has been proven to be in flagrant error. [/QB][/QUOTE]
