[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by tropicals redacted: [qb] "Black Americans with an interest in the issue asked two perfectly logical questions that drew evasive answers from physical anthropologists, wrapped up in technical jargon. "Why are people who look like us called 'white' or 'Hamitic' if they live in Egypt but 'Negroes' if they live in this country?" and "Why, if someone of that type turns up among the Egyptian pharaohs is he classified 'white', but if he lived in Mississippi he'd be put in the back of the bus?" Du Bois and other vindicationists were led to adopt a simple basic strategy. They called for consistency in the use of the term "Negro" (p136-137). "Diop's rejoinder was that specialists should remember that laymen do not react to genotypes and blood types but to phenotypes, that is, to what old-fashioned anthropologists call "races""(p140). [/qb][/QUOTE]These are very relevant questions. I read that book somewhere in to mid-90's. I will reread soon. [QUOTE]Originally posted by tropicals redacted: [qb] Professor of Egyptology 30/04/2015: [QUOTE] "As far as I see it, all this obsession and refusal to accept that the ancient Egyptians were a mixed race, not all Blacks as they claim, has a psychological foundation in most Afro people's deep and perhaps also unconscious inferiority complex as to white people. They carry a chip on their shoulder and must try to grasp whatever they can to bolster their self-esteem at any price." [/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]I like to know why he/she attacked "blacks" and not "whites"? [/QB][/QUOTE]
