Yeah ofcourse, but at the same time we KNOW we came from west africa. But they wanna rep mythological shyt from 4000yrs ago, tryna look outside ourselves for guidance.

West Africa is our history.

The real egyptians are somalians, eritreans, ethiopians, sudanese and the southern egyptians from aswan

embrace our west african heritage
Thats not entirely true bro.Kemet's influence is DEFINITELY Apparent in West African history. Do you not think Those west Africans of the Songhay didn't call on the Ancestors of Kemet?

I mean, why is it the main and sometimes Only one black people hype up
Because cacs hype it up and a lot of us feel like they are stealing African history.

Also other African history is not as researched or taught as much as Egypt. Most people just don't know about the other empires, but everybody knows about Egypt.

West africa didn't evolve in isolation of other parts of Africa genius. Go read a book or ten on African history, then come back and post friend.

Egyptian History is ABSOLUTELY African history you moron. Every African should be proud of our ancient egyptian ancestors.

Be aware though that Egypt was a pleuralistic society composed of whites, arabs, and blacks, but BLACKS were on top. Mindblowing when you think about it.

Gods natural order :obama:

I'm a pan African so the answer is simple to me. If its African history it's my history. And if you a REAL African then you're my family :obama:

But on the flip side I always wondered why they down play west African culture because that shyt seemed real piff.

I mean looked at how swagged out these dudes were :wow:

Truth. Its like nikkas so caught up with proving to cacs Egypt was Black that we don't talk enough about these western sudanic empires. A lot of epic shyt went down in ancient West Africa.

At the beginning of mean streets
I have pan African beliefs so all Africans are one people to me. The cacs do it with Rome and Greece, so we should claim our greater African history also. Also my dad's people had a lot of connections with the ancient Egyptians so Its not a reach for me.

Also Egypt was great but there were other great empires in Africa other than Egypt, I guess people gravitate towards that because its so famous.

What're your dad's people?

I think it's a little deeper. I think the only reason they focus on Egypt is because cacs do. Let cacs start trying to prove that Mansa Musa was really white and see how quick these nikkas wanna start reppin West Africa hard.
