[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] But there were no such qualifications as "modern cultural definitions" all the centuries since the Napoleon expedition to now when Americans Europeans Australians and others used their standards to point blank say AEs were white. And they were scientists mind you. Yet, what anyone of any culture can see, i.e., the varied brown skin complexions the overwhelming majority of AEs had, needs a begrudged weakened statement that AEs were "black" (in quotes) only by modern American standards and cultural definitions. Hell during USA slavery their "blacks" were just as physically diverse as now. Smith's statement is only a pyrrhic victory when one realizes precisely what his words mean depending on who's reading it. Eg., "black" but not negro as in all Africans are not black meaning nearly all the Afro-Asian speakers of the north countries and even black skinned Ethiopians etc. Like Henn with her blackless Egypt until 1250 CE and blackless North Africa until 800 Common Era despite iconic and textual disconfirmations. The game is: we can't tell what makes for a black and we will narrow it down to negro so one can be black but not a negro but it's obvious to us what white is in all its broad based inclusive glory codewords: Eurasian Indo-Aryan west Eurasian caucasoid Caucasian white USA census etc: whites = people having origins in any of the [i]original peoples[/i] of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [qb] [b]"Any characterization of race of the ancient Egyptians depends on modern cultural definitions, not on scientific study. Thus, by modern American standards it is reasonable to characterize the Egyptians as "blacks", while acknowledging the scientific evidence for the physical diversity of Africans."[/b] - The Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt (2001) [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
