[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tyrannohotep: [QUOTE]They have suggested that the Egyptians saw themselves as “white” in some biocultural or political sense akin to some contemporary Europeans and Americans, and were ashamed that they had been “conquered” by [b]“black Africans”—a term which no Egyptian or Kushite would know or have used, and which was invented by European colonialists.[/b] (And it does not matter who uses it, or that its [b]use has persisted, even sometimes being used by those who know better.)[/b][/QUOTE][/QUOTE]Outrageous! Heresy! Lol. Not surprising that Keita feels that way. Keita is trained in the scientific method as part of his education. Nationalism, racial pride and that sort of thing has no place in science. It has a place in life, if that is where you're at in life, but it has nothing to do with science. It's generally the people who were never interested in science to begin with, who try to merge their politics and African (pre)history. They are interested in activism (at least, the lip service part), politics and using science for those purposes. Nothing more. Hence, why their beliefs never change in response to anything. Not even DNA. [/QB][/QUOTE]
