[QUOTE]Originally posted by JoshuaConnerMoon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by JoshuaConnerMoon: The "debate" moved on from 5+ years ago. Very few people on internet forums now argue there was large scale migration into Neolithic/Early Dynastic Egypt from West Asia. Most Afrocentrists have also modified their position to realise the Egyptians were Saharan [North] Africans, not Sub-Saharan Africans. My only issue with the latter is that they still call Saharan Africans "black"; the average skin colour of northern Saharan peoples, including modern Egyptians, is too light to be labelled black and living Egyptians do not consider themselves to be black either. [/qb][/QUOTE]"Black" as per most Americans means "a person of primarily African descent" regardless of if they might be light brown. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/doIrUah.jpg?1[/IMG] For instance Barack Obama is widely considered Americans first Black president Yet his skin tone is light brown And since most Africans are brown and not literally black, then one cannot use a literal color definition [/QB][/QUOTE]Black refers to the darkest pigmentation shades (dark brown) and white to the lightest (light pink). This is not ambiguous/controversial because these are the poles or extremes of the variation like cold & hot labels. The problem is when you try to classify everything between those extremes as white/black, the same for everything between cold/hot like "warm" temperatures. Afrocentrists broaden the definition of black to include much lighter brown skin shades so they can attach themselves to Egyptians. Its a silly trick. [/QB][/QUOTE]
