Quote actual posts where we say such things!! [/QUOTE]I wasn't going to respond to you, since I just want people to keep their eyes open in the future for undercover racists on this forum by analysing (future) posts they read. But since you make it so easy, by including an example of it in the same post, here's one example: [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QUOTE]Archaeological evidence also strongly supports an African origin. A widespread northeastern African cultural assemblage, including distinctive multiple barbed harpoons and pottery decorated with dotted wavy line patterns, appears during the early Neolithic (also known as the Aqualithic, a reference to the mild climate of the Sahara at this time). Saharan and Sudanese rock art from this time resembles early Egyptian iconography. Strong connections between Nubian (Sudanese) and Egyptian material culture continue in later Neolithic Badarian culture of Upper Egypt. Similarities include black-topped wares, vessels with characteristic ripple-burnished surfaces, a special tulip-shaped vessel with incised and white-filled decoration, palettes, and harpoons... Other ancient Egyptian practices show strong similarities to modern African cultures including divine kingship, the use of headrests, body art, circumcision, and male coming-of-age rituals, all suggesting an African substratum or foundation for Egyptian civilization.." - [i]The Oxford encyclopedia of ancient Egypt,Volume 3. Oxford University Press. p. 28[/i] [/QUOTE]Everything in this could be considered. Divine Kingship, headrests, body arts, rituals, etc. As well as the shared origin and history in (North-)Eastern Africa and the green Sahara. [/qb][/QUOTE][b]LMAO[/b] :D Apparently you don't realize that the source you cited was speaking largely of [b]Sudanese[/b] cultures i.e. successors of the Khartoum Mesolithic, and nowhere did it say anything about West African cultures! [/QUOTE]You're lying here. The author says:"Other ancient Egyptian practices show strong similarities to [b]modern African cultures[/b] including divine kingship, the use of headrests, body art, circumcision, and male coming-of-age rituals, all suggesting an African substratum or foundation for Egyptian civilization..". All of those, including divine kingship, headrests, body art, rituals, etc can indeed be seen all over Africa including West Africa. We all can see in this example how this racist idiot called [b]Djehuti[/b] is trying to disconnect, West Africa from Ancient Egyptians and the rest of Africa and African cultures. He's more concerned about connecting them to the Levant, West Asia, the Horn, etc aka proxy Eurasian populations. Typical move by undercover racists seeking to prove the dynastic race theory by using proxy Eurasian populations. They used to pose before as horn supremacists. [/qb][/QUOTE]What is your contention in relation to Kush/Kemet and West Africa? From my research it would seem that they all share a common ancestry i.e. whatever they were doing in the Sahara prior to moving into West African areas and Nile Valley. This movement west seems to start around 3,000 BCE for Mande speaking peoples and maybe a little earlier for those groups that found their way into the Nile Valley. I believe it was later for the western saharan groups because the western sahara went hyper arid a bit later than the eastern sahara. Another interesting to note is the almost exclusive use of adobe for home building in Kush/Kemet and among certain mande groups. Although, stone building for homes among Mandes is not uncommon as can be seen it Tichett and in Sierra Leone where the government of the Southern reach of the Mande empire as it stretched to Cote d'Ivore, Liberia and Sierra Leone as found in of Sierra Leone were also built from very similar construction as is found in Tichett. Makes me believe that Mandes, when given the availability of resources build in stone, and when resources aren't available, they build in Adobe. Either way, there is definitely a clear relationship between Kemet/Kush and West Africa, this is undeniable. This isn't to take away from the fact that I also believe there were migrations through out the centuries from the Nile Valley into West Africa, as some groups have historical records of migrating from the east, such as some Fulas, Temnes etc. Ignorant westerners like to paint Africa and certain, so called ethnic groups, with one brush, and this doesn't work. As these groups are not homogenous. For example, certain western Yoruba are actually Mande, but they were absorbed into a Yoruba kingdom. My point in saying that is, just because someone is called Mande today, doesn't mean he has the same origin as the wider group, as peoples were absorbed. In Sierra Leone, a lot of the Mende people are short, and this is because upon arrival, Mande people absorbed the Pigmy population which lived there originally. [/QB][/QUOTE]
