[ if I ever get to that reply on Shuu smh ]

yes pls

{ I was not involved I simply commented on something and agreed with Dio. I discussed this without being nasty, but I have to say, that I would still not consider them black in an American context. But was I wrong in my original post? Possibly. }

as i remember you were the first to bring up the "there are more skin colors than white and black" argument" which dio parroted and just was really not helpful and imo a little patronizing like "stupid americans" while nobody was trying to say there weren't more ethnicities than that

listen. NOBODY is saying that black and white are the only skin colors. y’all can shut up about that now, cool?

race is a weird thing and ancient race is a even weirder thing. I know a few things but I’m not gonna pass myself off as any sort of expert on this

what I DO know is the claim that native Egyptians would have all been ethnically Arabs is false. I think the contest about calling Egyptians black is that black is being mistaken for African American. No. They are two different concepts. No one is using the word black in an American context

What we can all agree on is that Egyptians were not white. There has obviously been a lot of research and debate on what exactly we can really say they are, and everyone’s best guess appears to be mixed. I really don’t think that any of us can make the claim that they are one specific thing, which is what BOTH sides were trying to do.

Essentially: don’t be a dick about this, don’t be patronizing, don’t make up beliefs for the other side of the argument to hold

Also, something conveniently ignored from the post by the Egyptian person

the purpose of this is not to deny that under US-centric classifications, most ancient egyptians would be considered black*, because they most certainly would and white-washing of ancient egypt is prevalent and harmful*, but to assert that modern egyptians are not a separate ethnicity from their ancestors and that separating “modern” and “ancient” egyptians is equally harmful, and denies egyptians a connection to their own heritage.  here are some posts i’ve made to clarify how race works in egypt*

Arab is a cultural term, not an ethnic one. Identification as Arab is based on linguistic, political and cultural influences*, not ethnic ones. Egypt identifies as Arab today due to the arab nationalist movement in the 1950s, which was a response to British colonialism.*

I’m sure vitamin c tablets are just fine
