[QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Punos_Rey: [qb] If you accept indigenous north Africans as "black" or even related (however distantly) to other Africans further south, I don't see the SSA content in AE's mattering at all. It's really wearing on my patience seeing supposed Afrocentrists being taken to task (in some instances rightfuly so). Yet an open white nationalist on record for hating blacks doesn't get harpooned unless its by one of those very same "afrocentrists". Why does he get an automatic presumption of objectivity/validity to his posts??? If you're going to hold people to account for rigor and accuracy, hold *all* people to account. AE not being predominately West African(which seems to be what some of you mean when you say "SSA" or even worse, "Bantu") means absolutely nothing to me and I've never rested an argument on that. Africans can form distinct groups while still sharing ties to each other (the closer they are the stronger they'll be). Yet don't shift the parameters of the discussion as convenient as the aforementioned poster does every single time. And don't pose an inherently arbitrary distinction ("black") as objective when you define it the way you want to to suit your agenda (and by you obviously I'm referring to someone in particular). There is no credible possible way you can define a group such as the Nubians as *definitely black* and not the Aegyptians who are most related to them. Yet certain people draw their color line and shift and contort it whenever challenged. Let's just say there's a lot of room for improvement and that's not just on the part of black posters. [/qb][/QUOTE]All that matters to me is that they were indigenous black Africans and not "Eurasian" transplants from the Levant. People like you are being entirely reasonable. You're not saying that the ancient Egyptians were Niger-Congo speakers, and you have made it clear that this is not a necessary requirement in order for Africans to identify with ancient Egypt the same way that it hasn't been necessary for the ancient Greeks to be "Nordics" for all Europeans to identify with ancient Greece and valorize it to the extent that it pervades every facet of Western life.
