People really don’t believe Ancient Egyptians were ethnically African?
Perri: It’s sad but true, so many people don’t believe it. :(
Yup and if you ask the average American they will automatically say The Middle East…
…
but…
how—
Look at their lips!
This man up there favors my great great granddaddy (I’m of African descent, just so you all know)
EYES, NOSE—LIPS AGAIN.
I MEAN.
OMG. SERIOUSLY.
LIKE.
IT SHOULDN’T BE THIS HARD TO GRASP.
White denial.
Remember, around the time white people became obsessed with Egypt and began romanticizing its history, they still were allowed to openly hate POC. They refuse to believe that so much power, grace, and beauty could come from people they despised(read: were jealous of).
It’s all just a superiority complex to mask their innate insecurity. It’s why they happily lump Egypt in with the Middle East and completely erase Black Egypt from the picture and instead focus on Arab Egypt.
It’s also why they have taken to dividing Africa into North Africa and “Sub-Saharan Africa” as if everything that is not of the “exotic desert” is inferior and savage.
Taxonomy and classism are just a few of white people’s favorite things to do to make themselves feel like they run shit.
The term “middle east” didn’t even exist before the 1960s.
Bless this fucking post you have no idea the shit I had to go through as a child when I told them I was from Egypt. They’d be like “but you’re black” or the most ignorant of them all would say “Egypt is not a part of Africa, because Africa is full of black people.” I literally got into fights with people about this.
WELL SAID.
I WILL TAKE THIS MOMENT, HOWEVER, to REMIND EVERYONE that though the Ptolemies (especially Cleopatra VII) ruled Egypt. THEY WERE NOT ETHNICALLY AFRICAN. AT ALL. CLEOPATRA WAS NOT BLACK. NONE OF THE PTOLEMIES WERE BLACK. THEY WERE MACEDONIAN GREEK. BECAUSE ALEXANDER THE GREAT WAS MACEDONIAN. AND SO WERE HIS GENERALS. ONE WHO WAS THE FIRST PTOLEMY TO BE PHARAOH. OK.
Just thought everyone should know. Carry on.
Wasn’t Cleopatra 1/4 Syrian? She had a Syrian grandmother, if I remember. While the Ptolemies did practice royal inbreeding, there were at least a few marriages outside of the bloodline.
Oh yea I forgot…I believe there were a few drops of Syrian and Persian in there.
Also, a few articles suggest that Arsinoe (and by extension, Cleopatra’s brothers) had an African mother, based off of a skeleton believed to be the lost princess.
There is the suggestion, but it has so far not been substantiated. Like actual DNA testing.
