[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/Dead/Krom/Atlantid: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: You were using descriptions of their Gods and mythological figures to suggest the Greek people were white.[/QUOTE]No. If anyone is really interested in stuff I was posting 6 years ago, see [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=004993;p=1]here[/URL] to get the correct context of what I said about white Greeks gods. Oshun is lying as usual. July, 2011- [QUOTE]Indo-Europeans often seem to have been small minorities in the countries they penetrated... anthropologists who have studied the hair or pigmentation of the ancient Greeks have concluded [b]only around 7% were blonde[/b]. The Indo-Europeans in Greece therefore only reflected the physique of the [b]higher classes, who claimed descent from the fair Gods[/b].[/QUOTE]I was talking about a theory that a small Indo-European elite (who had fairer pigmentation) ruled over the darker Greek masses i.e. caste-like stratification, following this article: http://www.geocities.ws/race_articles/greekface.html My mythology discussion of gods is in context pf the caste-pigmentation theory that says the blonde elites claimed descent from the gods; I estimated the white skinned fair-haired IE caste in Greece was as [i]little as 7%[/i] of the population; this is no longer even a hypothesis I defend. Regardless, nowhere did I claim the typical Greek was white (93% as [i]not[/i] white skinned/blonde haired), but the opposite: [QUOTE]In regards to ancient Greece, the Indo-Europeans only were a small fraction compared the indigenous Pelagian population. The mass lower classes were Pelasgic... [b]Huxley's melanochroi 'dark white' race[/b])... according to the anthropologist Sir Edward Burnett Tylor the Pelasgians had: ''[b]dusky or brownish[/b]-white skin, black or deep-brown eyes, black hair, mostly wavy or curly''.[/QUOTE]Oshun of course doesn't quote the true context of my old posts. The fact is - I've never described southern European pigmentation as white. This upsets her/he since I don't politicalize the word unlike his/her agenda with the word black (see the paragraph below). [QUOTE]I think you missed the part where I said I don't believe the average AE skin tone was especially light. And for those it was I make "no distinctions" as far as what? I'm not blind, I know they're not the same skin shade. That doesn't mean that light skinned people are automatically genetically more distant to darker skinned people. A lighter skinned Ngwa Igbo is not going to be more closely related to a lighter skinned San than a darker skinned Igbo. [/QUOTE]The point is you use the term "black" to cover those lighter skin shades. You're politicalizing the word. If you truly recognise Egyptians were lighter brown skin shades (than more southern populations), why not recognise the cline, instead of using a very broad category black. Why not call Egyptians light or medial brown than black? Answer: this doesn't play into your politics. [QUOTE] 1. This should be pretty obvious but Pre Dynastic Egyptians for thousands of years lived in lands that were not "Saharan." To say it moar: They and today's "Sub Saharan Africans" lived alike in an Africa without a bigass desert. You're applying modern geological constructs to ancient people who hadn't lived in a full blown desert for very long before dynastic Egypt started. The Sahara hadn't completely returned in a window span of a few centuries before Dynastic Egypt or a few centuries after. [/QUOTE]This is nonsense. The movements were more westward than southward, but those settlements to the south were not into lower latitude Sub-Saharan Africa, but the northern fringe/Sahel - so what's your point? [QUOTE]The populations that made Egypt came from the South and moved North, this is why we see the affinities we do to many SSA populations.[/QUOTE]They don't show close affinities to SSA populations, with the possible exception of the northern fringe or Sahel groups. Also its disputable "Egypt came from south", since you ignore the Lower Egyptian contributions. And you're not bigoted? :rolleyes: Since Lower Egypt is closer to Europe and Levant than Upper Egypt, this is why Afrocentrists downplay Lower Egyptian contributions and obsess with Upper Egypt. waycism much?
