Egyptians Mad at A King Tut Sculpture With Nas’ Likeness From "I Am..." Album Cover

[K.O.N.Y]

my only issue with the exhibit is the absence of music from the most direct descendants of the Egyptians. Rather than pairing it with music from Rihanna or miles Davis, it would make more sense to pair it with the music from groups like the black people still living in southern egypt in 2023, or music of the descendants of the Nubians in Sudan, or even the music of the various Nilotic ethnic groups that still live on the banks of the river Nile from Alexandria all the way down to Lake Victoria.


Pairing the Egyptian concepts with west African or new world daisporic music would be like me opening an exhibit in newyork, that honors the Chinese folkhero, Mulan, but pairing it with korean kpop music. There is a clear disconnect here.

there pairing it with the biggest most influential black based culture(s). Thats more in step with there influences

Aint they a lil' late on this? Seems like they are doubling down on that backlash for the black cleopatra on that netflix movie

But where was this outrage when that album dropped?

Wouldn’t make any sense for Arabs to portray themselves this way The Ancient Egyptians were East Africans. It’s clear as day if you look at Ethiopians and Sudanese people for even a second.

The sista I get my gold looks completely Ethiopian and she darker than me but she a whole Egyptian from Aswan. It’s actually quite a few Black Egyptians in DC quiet as kept and they all blend in with the rest of the East Africans. It’s obvious as hell who the real people of Kemet are.

The worst thing about these racists, is that when you really press them on this evidence they go to Super Sayian levels of juelzing and say "yes, they had dark skin, but they weren't Negroes"

When I was a kid, I saw cacs online post whole ass murals of Black, dark skinned Egyptians and claimed they were tanned whites

Ever since then, I've learned to disregard every single thing a cac or an arab tries pulling to white/brownwash ancient Egypt

Saw that Zawi Hawass is behind this. Homie is always hating.

 

[EndGame]

These foreign nations pretending to be a people that they are not, and occupying Land that don't belong will all be plucked out.

 

[Breh13]

So when are these “Egyptians” going to get “outraged” over Hollywood whitewashing them?

Oh. Arabs at it again I see. Modern Egyptians acting like their current population is what they looked like thousands of years ago. I guess Egyptians with agenda has exclusive rights to talk about Egyptian history, everyone else is chatting shyt.

This goofy old cac need his jaw rocked. They know that where egypt lies today was black people.
