Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins: Black Fighters, We Are Built Differently

[Cash Cow]

so if the early egyptians were black africans and indeed responsible for building those beautiful pyramids...what happened to them after that? why did they let other races conquer their lands and get pushed away to other parts of africa? and in their new lands, how come they did not bring with them their creativity?

the ancient greek historian herodotus visited egypt in 450BC AND HE described the ancient egyptians and ethiopians as black people.the ancient egyptians say they are descended from the ethiopians. arabs invaded north africa in 700AD and they destroyed many of the ancient egyptian temples/monuments because they could not understand the culture of these african people.the ancient egyptian fought to keep out the foriegn armies of greece,rome ,asia and musilm arabs.the greeks ,romans ,asians/arabs all contributed to the destruction of ancient egypt.these imposter from europe and asia now want to claim the glory of black/africans. remember ancient egypt is in africa not europe/asia. in addition nubia shares the same culture as the ancient egyptians.there are more pyramids in nubia(sudan) than in ancient egypt.the nubian kings of the 25th dynasty liberated egypt delta region from foriegn armies from asia.europeans ,asians/arabs did not understand the culture of ancient egypt they could not understand the acnient egyptian writings/symbolism.

Just imagine if some white american/european boxer said this, there would be an uproar.

The following is supporting evidence from The African Origin of Civilization: by: Cheikh Anta Diop

1.

Evidence from Physical Anthropology
The skeletons and skulls of the Ancient Egyptians clearly reflect they were Negroid people with features very similar to those of modern Black Nubians and other people of the Upper Nile and of East Africa.

2. Melanin Dosage Test
Egyptologist Cheikh Anta Diop invented a method for determining the level of melanin in the skin of human beings. When conducted on Egyptian mummies in the Museum of Man in Paris, this test indicated these remains were of Black people.

3. Osteological Evidence
"Lepsius canon," which distinguishes the bodily proportions of various racial groups categories the "ideal Egyptian" as "short-armed and of Negroid or Negrito physical type."

4. Evidence From Blood Types
Diop notes that even after hundreds of years of inter-mixture with foreign invaders, the blood type of modern Egyptians is the "same group B as the populations of western Africa on the Atlantic seaboard and not the A2 Group characteristic of the white race prior to any crossbreeding."

5. The Egyptians as They Saw Themselves
"The Egyptians had only one term to designate themselves =kmt= the Negroes (literally). This is the strongest term existing in the Pharaonic tongue to indicate blackness; it is accordingly written with a hieroglyph representing a length of wood charred at the end and not crocodile scales," singular.‘Kmt’ from the adjective =kmt= black; it therefore means strictly Negroes or at the very least black men. The term is a collective noun which thus described the whole people of Pharaonic Egypt as a black people."

6. Divine Epithets
Diop demonstrates that "black or Negro" is the divine epithet invariably used for the chief beneficent Gods of Egypt, while the evil spirits were depicted as red.

7. Evidence From the Bible

The Bible states that "…[t]he sons of Ham [were] Cush and Mizraim [i.e. Egypt], and Phut, and Canaan. And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah and Sabtechah." According to Biblical tradition, Ham, of course, was the father of the Black race. "Generally speaking all semitic tradition (***ish and Arab) class ancient Egypt with the countries of the black."

8. Cultural unity of Egypt With The Rest of Africa
Through a study of circumcision and totemism. Diop gives detailed data showing cultural unity between Egypt and the rest of Africa.

9. Linguistic Unity With Southern and Western Africa
In a detailed study of languages, Diop clearly demonstrates that Ancient Egyptian, modern Coptic of Egypt and Walaf of West Africa are related, with the latter two having their origin in the former.

10. Testimony of Classical Greek and Roman Authors
Virtually all of the early Latin eyewitnesses described the Ancient Egyptians as Black skinned with wooly hair.

After the conquest of Egypt by Alexander, under the Ptolemies, crossbreeding between white Greeks and black Egyptians flourished. "Nowhere was Dionysus more favored, nowhere was he worshiped more adoringly and more elaborately than by the Ptolemies, who recognized his cult as an especially effective means of promoting the assimilation of the conquering Greeks and their fusion with the native Egyptians." {Endnote 15: J. J. Bachofen, Pages choisies par Adrien Turel, "Du Regne de la mere au patriarcat." Paris: F. Alcan, 1938, p. 89.}

These facts prove that if the Egyptian people had originally been white, it might well have remained so. If Herodotus found it still black after so much crossbreeding, it must have been basic black at the start.

Good and informative post!!!! i quoted just so that it can be read again....let me point out to all "being proud of who you are, does not make you a racist". we must speak boldly about ourselves because many have discounted our history".

Old BS claims that have long been discredited. Let's just ignore the fact that Diop (the darling of the Afrocentrist ****tard) is a race obsessed nobody with no academic reputation worth a damn. And I think I'll believe Dr Zahi Hawass who is Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, who dismisses these claims as garbage, than a serial crack pot like Diop.

I'll explain in a rational way.

People who are builders, creators, creatives, have a specific kind of intelligence. It's an intelligence you are unable to value. Jazz was invented by black people, along with rock & roll, and most of modern music, but you don't pay much attention to any of that.

.

I have to say that, while blues was created by black people, jazz was a mixture of blues and sophisticated harmonies that came from French European composers like Ravel and Debussy, there was actually a big french population in new orleans and they brought those harmonies to the U.S and jazz musicians mixed those harminies with the blues to create jazz. Throught jazz history, usually the white musicians music isn't so bluesy like the black musicians, and that is one big distinction.

Rock started as kind of an offshoot of blues, and then morphed and changed after whites started to play it. It definetly started as black music though.

damn, why do whites always try and steal black culture and history?

jazz was created by blacks.

Lol. Blacks were definetly at the forefront of jazz and have made the biggest contributions. I'm a musician though and i have studied jazz. The chords that you hear in jazz come from the french impressionist composers, chords like minor 7ths,9ths 11ths, altered chords, suspended shords, diminished/augmented etc all come from Europe. I'm not saying whites created Jazz, i'm just saying the harmonies from Europe did play a big part in it's inception.

Anybody who believes that blacks are mentally inferior should just take off their hoods and admit they're racist.
