[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Punos_Rey: [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: 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 [b]people who refuse to call AE black in the modern western (racial) sense are necessarily racist.[/QUOTE]I see what you're saying Swenet [qb]yet I refuse to take seriously anyone who defines black in such a broad way as to include Nubians and even ancient Maghrehbians but not the Aegyptians. Nor do I take seriously someone who emphasizes phenotypic differences among Africans yet still throws "Sub-Saharan Africans" together while scrutinizing Northeast Africans down to the slightest detail possible. If that makes me an afrocentrist/black supremacist so be it.[/qb] I also refuse to take seriously people who say there was absolutely zero cultural or other impact from AE and Nubia into the rest of Africa, I have found too many "coincidences" and remnants for that to be the case.(and Sudaniya if you want to try me on this feel free to) On a last note, I'm one of the people who absolutely am not bothered by this study. Admixture in AE, so what? Admixture in other groups like the Greeks never calls their indigeneity into question yet with the AE even the slightest drop of non-African admixture makes them a dynastic/hamitic race to some of these crackpots. Hysterical. I have nothing but respect for several of the posters in this thread, but I'm going to hold the people I have zero respect for to the same standards they hold the "afroloon" cabal to. [/QUOTE]Can you name these people? Because I think you will mostly end up with a list of names of lay people, trolls and academics who pretend to know what they're talking about. In other words, the Henry Louis Gates and Zahi Hawass types. This list will not be monumental list many on Egyptsearch anticipate; it won't include most of the Eurocentrics people here would consider a serious long-term problem. Pointing out these people are inconsistent in the way they apply the term mostly addresses lightweights and does little in terms of validating continued use of the term or even addressing the other side. Most hardcore and published Eurocentrics are evolutionists (who know skin pigmentation is mostly controlled by a handful of genes) and aren't stupid that they would set themselves up by confining "white race" to pale skin.
