Pac is the best 130 lb fighter ever.

Please, oh Isis, god of Egypt, lower yourself to my level and patronize me for one moment by accepting my limited terminology.

Basically, we have tan-skinned more straight haired northern african types(like Egyptians, Numidians, etc) and dark skinned curly-haired sub-saharans(Zulu, etc).

You don't make any sense because a lot of tan-skin in Northern Egypt today can be attributed to a large influx of foreigners, and Upper Egypt, including a lot of the Felahin peasants are still dark skinned and curly headed and also akin to Northern Sudanese Nubians even more so than Northern modern Egyptians. Your stereotypes and limited views of human diversity won't work with me, along with your dry attempt at sarcasm and like I said, morphological studies suggest tropical adaptations similar to Somalis and other east africans.. "tan skin" is not a tropical trait, though it is seen among many Ethiopians and Somali.. Also, the Sahara is a desert, not a biological classification you ineducable loser.. Spare me your ignorance please, I really thought that you were asking a serious question..

here, let me give you a picture of what the ancient Egyptians, at least their ruling class, drew of themselves:






By the way, I thought race-obsessed haters(and you are a hater by acting like a self-defensive elitist prick when I asked you a simple question out of unbiased interest-I'm a college student with some interest in the topic ) went out with the Eugenics movement and Hitler.


"Uneducable"

Whats wrong with using a geographical divide to categorize people groups when there is a clear ethnic division between the majorities in each group?

Get off boxingscene and go further your academic career then.

You ****ing idiot, the color of Gold symbolized the divinity of the sun as the color black represented resurrection you idiot. The conventional color of ancient Egyptians was dark brown.. Learn about it..

^Mural of ethnic groups, from the tomb of Seti

Gold was regarded as divine on account of its color and brightness (symbolic of the sun (and its untarnished nature (symbolic of eternal life). In fact, the flesh of the gods descended from the sun god Re was said to be made of gold,

now Im an idiot.....just trying to understand the topic area. Great job at teaching, loser.

I was wondering because my history professor said when asked if Egyptians were "black" said "they sure werent white, but not black as categorized today".

But im a "****ing idiot"......whaddya gonna do. You are a hateful, miserable person. I'll pray for you

Eugenics has no relevance to your what you've been babbling about, this is incoherent..

"Uneducable"

The word is "ineducable".. Go back to school..

Whats wrong with using a geographical divide to categorize people groups when there is a clear ethnic division between the majorities in each group?

Because it is arbitrary, scientifically invalid, and racist..

Get off boxingscene and go further your academic career then.

Why can't I do both?

Accept it dude, no mexican boxer can defeat pacman at this time. you shld have fielded your best fighter if your reason is the age. Dont make excuses for the defeat of your mexican fighters.

yeah i thought it was gonna be a fast paced fight. instead it was kinda boring, but oh well lets see what 2008 fights are gonna be maid. finally pac can fight someone whos gonna be fresh not worn out like morales or barerra.

[Easy-E]

LOL not even close.
I know your obsessed with Pac but be reasonable.

When you get so defensive/hateful about a racial issue, it shows an obsession with race seldom seen since the Eugenics movement


Because it is arbitrary, scientifically invalid, and racist..

Yet commonly used by most academics


Why can't I do both?

While it would have no effect on your time constraints, it will dumb down your vocabulary....see above to see how the trashy boxing-speak has rubbed off onto you

[sonofisis]

now Im an idiot.....just trying to understand the topic area. Great job at teaching, loser.

You were being extremely contentious and sarcastic, please don't play mr. innocent here. I was willing to engage you in civil discourse until you started going off on a tangent..

I was wondering because my history professor said when asked if Egyptians were "black" said "they sure werent white, but not black as categorized today".

That is your teacher's opinion and many people disagree.. It is subjective since "black" is a subjective term denoting skin color and geographic ancestry. I simply contend that they were Africans, closely akin to other africans in the Nile valley, where they happened to be. Many of whom were dark skinned and curly haired..

I suggest you start by reading this to have a fair understanding:

The People: Ancient and Modern Ethnic Groups of Nubia - 1994-2001 Education Development Center

But im a "****ing idiot"......whaddya gonna do. You are a hateful, miserable person. I'll pray for you

Like I said above, you initially attacked me with your sarcasm and by suggesting that "I'm an Egyptian god", or whatever other nonsense you were talking about.

Backtracking..

#1 The Eugenics movement was a bad example and is a classic non sequitur

#2 Most academics are not most anthropologists who don't even subscribe to "race" as a useful way of classifying populations.See American Anthropological Association Statement on "Race"
Also, any Geogropher or Archaeologist will tell you that the Sahara desert is interrupted by the Nile valley, not to mention that it only finished desertification some 4,000 years ago and was previously a savanna.


#3 You edited that last comment in late..
