[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: Those Sub-Saharan Africans don't show as close genetic affinity as northern Sudanese and modern Egyptians (to ancient Egyptians).

Lets assume everyone agreed with your position. "Close enough" is a subjective approximation. For example Southern/Upper Egyptians and Nubians are closer than Lower Egyptians. Does this mean lower Egyptians are not "close enough" to the AE because they aren't "as close to AE as" today's Upper Egyptians and Nubians? If there are modern Egyptians with 80% foreign admixture from centuries ago, they're going to be even more distant to the biology of the AE than many Sub Saharans even though they may descend from the AE. So to say those members of the modern Egyptian population are biologically closer would mean you'd have to include all the Sub Saharans that they'd have had closer biological affinities with AE. Oh noes! But apparently the Sub Saharans cannot feel they are biologically "close enough" to them. [QUOTE] [QUOTE] Africans are all varying shades of brown -- gradients of brown that are almost universally regarded as 'black, and the ancient Egyptians were well within the range of 'black' of other Northeast African blacks. [/QUOTE]If you use this reasoning, then Levant and south European are also black - they have brown pigmentation (southern Europeans are a faint light brown or olive complexion). No Afrocentrist however is consistent with this, labelling west Asian and a large portion of (south) European peoples "black" doesn't suit their politicalized pan-African usage of black.[/QUOTE]No Europeans and Levanites would not be included in "blackness" anymore than a San or Red Igbo would be "white." Blackness is like I said a African centered concept that's foundation is African heritage. Whiteness is a Pan Euro idea, which means people with darker tones are included in that idea as long as they're indigenous modern Europeans. [QUOTE]Most people understand that virtually no populations are literally 'black' or literally 'white'. The Northeast African stock of blacks (of which AE is one of many) don't need to have the same skin as the Dinka and Nuer to be called 'black'. [QUOTE][qb] lol. Pan African lunacy again. And you aren't from Sudan, you're an African-American which is why you cling to this pan-African political ideology. [/qb][/QUOTE]You and the other Eurocentrics created a regional identity of "Sub Saharan" blacks, but the cultures that made dynastic Egypt were NOT Saharan. For THOUSANDS of years they shared Africa with "Sub Saharans" and there was NO desert you could claim acted as a genetic barrier. The windowspan for the full return of the Sahara came a little before or a little after dynastic Egypt. When the Sahara did fully return AE then had nile which not only supported life but [b]allowed them contact with SSA people.[/b] It's not "Pan African lunacy." You guys are the [b]main ones[/b] dividing Africa by which side of the Sahara people lived. But foundations of AE civilization were from people who were not "Saharan." :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
