[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [qb] The Hamite theory/explanation for African people and culture of course predates European science and exploration, as the Muslim and Arab occupiers and settlers in Africa and other parts of the world used Ham/Cannanite to group in a variety of peoples from Berbers to Nubians and Egyptians. Check this tread out you can see this very issiue was discussed back when the serious posters still frequented the Forum... http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=003729;p=1 [/qb][/QUOTE]I agree. The argument can be made that later Greeks (those that were close[r] to the Common Era) did the same in their own way. But people don't want to admit this because then they'd have to admit that the phenotypical differences emphasized by the Hamitic hypothesis are far older than colonialism and white supremacy. Also, they'd have to admit that such phenotypical differences are, on some level, empirical observations as opposed to a deliberately engineered conspiracy by Western Europeans. When explorers, travelers and geographers from multiple cultural backgrounds continually link certain groups in Africa on phenotypical grounds, but not other groups, you can no longer say that people who refuse to call AE black in the modern western (racial) sense are necessarily racist.
