[QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] @Truthcentric The reports of Iman complaining about people telling her that she doesn't look black are public record. So is the fact that Egyptians protested against Anwar Sadat's role being portrayed by someone who is "black". Take it up with the world, not with me. I didn't create it. And you're free to agree with him all you want. Why feel the need to repeatedly inform me of it and rationalize your decision?[/qb][/QUOTE]Maybe I have misunderstood something, but it sounded to me like you were objecting to calling ancient Egyptians "Black African" because you felt it had certain phylogenetic connotations associated with West/Central African ancestry. I get that you're cool with using "Black" as a simple pigmentation descriptor, but the thing is that this is exactly what Claus also meant by that word! [QUOTE]Originally posted by tropicals redacted: [qb]Are you really saying that I can't conceptualise, for example, Black Asians and Black Australians?[/qb][/QUOTE]Going by this same strictly pigmentation-based criterion, "Black African" as a phrase should be unobjectionable to you since that's how you've used "Black" yourself. Yet somehow, when someone else wants to apply it to ancient Egypto-Nubians using that same exact sense, you start worrying about the phylogenetic implications even when the phrase doesn't touch on it at all. But you know what, if you really don't care what I or claus choose to call the ancient Egyptians in a non-scientific context, then fine. I won't press the matter any more. [/QB][/QUOTE]
