It is disappointing that this topic still must be discussed in 2023. If you scour the internet about the racial origins of ancient Egypt, you’ll find that most people believe they were non-black. The answer is obvious to anyone with eyes and common sense. However, there are still detractors even on this website like @Dafunkdoc_Unlimited and @Sccit while some others are unsure. Here’s a simple way to prove that the ancient Egyptians were black.
This common cultural attire for ancient Egyptian males of all classes was a kilt and no top. They were shirtless in the hot desert climate, building architectural marvels like pyramids, temples, palaces, etc.

We can easily rule cacs out of the equation. But what about Arabs and Berbers? IF you know anything about Arabs, they use something far more powerful than sunscreen to protect their skin. They use long and flowing clothes to protect their skin and have some air flow.

“Ok, but that’s just art on those Egyptian walls. No one could really survive being shirtless in the desert.”
The heat in the Horn of Africa is more unforgiving than in Egypt. Using common sense we can easily come to the conclusion that only black people can be the ancient Egyptians. Furthermore, this debate was ended by Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop and Dr. Obenga almost half a century ago in the 1974 Cairo Symposium where they defeated cac and Arab Egyptologists. It is sad that people still believe this topic is up for debate.
