This is why I've said a long time ago that I'm going to stop using the term without trying to persuade others. Others can use it if they want to. I see the politics and so I'm dropping it. Others here can pretend that only the Eurocentric opposition is doing these spin antics all they want, but parties on both sides are doing it. I love sitting back and pointing out how aDNA is exposing them. Somehow people here think only Europeans have to make adjustments after the discovery that Labrana wasn't white. :rolleyes: [/qb][/QUOTE]Personally, if someone were to ask [i]me[/i] about AE appearance and affinities right now, I would say "[i]some[/i] would consider them 'black'". That phrasing would address the many conflicting definitions of the term while emphasizing that most AE wouldn't have looked like the stereotypical tan-skinned "North African Arab". Of course, I'd also name related populations in Northeast Africa to avoid painting a stereotyped "True Negro" image of AE. That said, in my experience even simply calling AE "African"---without using any color terminology at all---is going to provoke accusations of "Afrocentrism" from certain people. In the end the bias against an African Egypt is still going to be there no matter what vocabulary you use. [/qb][/QUOTE]The point is that racism as defined by 19th century Europeans is heavily based on skin color. That is the problem. Not black folks use of the word black. Trying to make black folks jump through hoops when pointing out the racism of denying the skin color of Ancient Egypt is simply designed to try and make it seem like black folks somehow invented the concept of race and racism. ALL of which was created by and defined by SELF DESCRIBED white people? [/qb][/QUOTE]Complete dummy. By that logic deny all of taxonomy, including species. Also no one invented "racism", it is wired in the brain or innate. Just google studies/research on this. http://www.medicaldaily.com/racism-innate-human-brain-makes-unconscious-decisions-based-ethnicity-240970 [/QB][/QUOTE]
