It's their way of covering a deep seated inferiority complex. Since ancient Egypt was once a great civilization, its only natural for them to lay claim to it.

These people are desperate for a rich history since theirs has been nothing but tragedy after tragedy.

can this dude be banned already?

 

[iFightSeagullsForBread]

It's harmless mostly.

But it does kinda come off as seeing as how Kemet enthusiasts seem to downplay other African civilizations and ironically disregarding Black-American culture.

But whatever.

I don't think there's a problem with having an interest. My concern is where people say we should "Return to our Roots" or "Remember where We came From" with all these memes of people wearing pharaoh hats when thats not where we come from. Id like to see people show more interest in things like the Mali Empire & Benin Empire and places in West Africa, instead of concentrating solely on the East

Yes cause returning to what made us successful would fukk up massas "amerikkkan dream", can't have that now huh?

Ignore timelines, migration & history bruhs. What makes you think you can't learn/teach about all of our ancestral history?

 

[Swagnificent]

Now, Im not one to knock someone who has a healthy interest in a culture outside of their own, however I have to admit I do whenever I see some black people here in America who try to lay claim or talk about "getting back to our roots" in regards to Egypt when we are ethically and genetically West African, which has nothing to do with the Egyptian region whatsoever.

Its slightly concerning that so many people are so gung ho about Egypt (a country thats in a way been "validated" by whites as a great civilization) but I don't see that same type of fervor towards (the just as incredible) west/central African cultures/empires/civilizations that we actually have a connection to. Why is that?

thoughts?

You sound white to me. Usually this sentiment is from page 1 of the cac handbook.

The reason we talk about Egypt so much is cause racist cacs try so hard to separate it from Africa. If cacs tried to claim Mansa Musa and the great Mali Empire as non-black, then you would see a lot more focus on that.

Stop pretending to be black white boy and just say you don't think nikkas coulda built the pyramids. Cause I know that's what you really wanna say.

 

[Matriarchy Refugee]

Im a cac fakkit. Yes I know that's redundant.

 

[ridedolo]

Yes I do.

LOL so where's your thread asking why the pyramid is on the dollar bill? Does that not bother you? What's the American relationship to Egypt? Is their claim to egypt more valid than black people? School me..

 

[Bawon Samedi]

This is the same bait that has been posted many times. Just stop it OP...

 

[MalikReloaded]

I have to agree it makes no sense. I hate seeing memes about kings and queens of egypt. Its like chineses claiming japanese thats how far away they are

I'm pretty sure all Asians learn about Genghis Khan and his empire. I doubt only Mongolians are allowed to talk about Genghis Khan. What's the difference?

 

[Micky Mikey]

Blacks need focus on the here and now. I see way too many "hotep" Blacks romanticizing history instead of focusing on true nation building in the here and now. They are tragically disillusioned.

 

[calixprynce]

Yes I do.

yo slave ass prolly a "christian" in church every sunday giving that money up

 

[ThatTruth777]

Nothing really, I'm glad their taking an interest in African history I suppose.
