I don't think you realise how poorly black Muslims are treated in Arab countries in the middle East. If you did, you wouldn't say such things.

Because most Africans take all they dish out. Such people don't value themselves and mostly wish to reject and throw away their identity and ancestral ties for Arab and Caucasian things

And you consider these people as "Black"? or is that Fulas care about how arabs treat their abids ;and are you obliged to treat white well in your land? then acknowledge that I just cares for my race or my area: Western Africa.

What sane mind can categorize us as Arab? If you care to explain yourself, I would actually be interested in listening to what you have to say. We have a distinct culture, language, phenotype etc, none of it having anything to do with Arabia. Are you referring to religion perhaps

You are misinterpreting things. Arabs treat black Muslims bad, that includes Fulani, Hausa, Tuaregs, Somalis, Mandinka (Mande), Songhai (Zarma), Kanuri, Tubu, and other black Muslim groups. Most of the black people killed in Libya have been Fulani, Tuareg or Hausa. I don't know what you mean by your statement.

"Any characterization of race of the ancient Egyptians depends on modern cultural definitions, not on scientific study. Thus, by modern American standards it is reasonable to characterize the Egyptians as "blacks", while acknowledging the scientific evidence for the physical diversity of Africans.” - Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt (2001)

Ejection from the Sahara: Eastward
To the east they gathered around the Nile valley

"The evidence also points to linkages to
other northeast African peoples, not
coincidentally approximating the modern
range of languages closely related to
Egyptian in the Afro-Asiatic group
(formerly called Hamito-Semetic). These
linguistic similarities place ancient
Egyptian in a close relationship with
languages spoken today as far west as
Chad, and as far south as Somalia.
Archaeological evidence also strongly
supports an African origin.
A widespread
northeastern African cultural assemblage,
including distinctive multiple barbed
harpoons and pottery decorated with
dotted wavy line patterns, appears during
the early Neolithic (also known as the
Aqualithic, a reference to the mild
climate of the Sahara at this time).
Saharan and Sudanese rock art from this
time resembles early Egyptian
iconography. Strong connections
between Nubian (Sudanese) and
Egyptian material culture continue in
later Neolithic Badarian culture of Upper
Egypt.
Similarities include black-topped
wares, vessels with characteristic
ripple-burnished surfaces, a special
tulip-shaped vessel with incised and
white-filled decoration, palettes, and
harpoons...

Other ancient Egyptian practices show
strong similarities to modern African
cultures including divine kingship, the
use of headrests, body art, circumcision,
and male coming-of-age rituals, all
suggesting an African substratum or
foundation for Egyptian civilization

Y'all are the opposite of intelligent I swear. Listen, West Africans and South Africans can just as much claim to have their origin in Egypt. Moors and Africans (Africans never referred to themselves as blacks) moved from region to region. What y'all don't understand is that there was no division until white ppl made divisions, Africa was just one huge landmass and the people in it moved from region to region. That is why there are common similarities among Africans, not just skin color but attributes as well. Europeans will never say that this people are different from this people unless they practice a different religion like you might hear a German saying that Jews are a different race or that Muslims in Saudi Arabia or Turkey for example are a different race but last I checked these people usually have blond hair, blue eyes and typical Caucasoid features. Why do you think the first or earliest ppl not just in Africa but on Earth, the Bantu (called so because of the Bantu language they speak) are everywhere in Africa? They are in the East, in the West, in Central but mostly in the East. White people can try to lay claim to Egypt all they want and they can laugh at black people all they want but the proof is right there. Also, seeing as this is a Nigerian forum, I will also add that some pyramids similar to those built in Egypt were found in ancient Igbo land in Nigeria and there is also another similar pyramid, the ancient pyramid of zinder in Niger. 1) pyramid in Igbo land 2) Pyramid of zinder

This in response to the person who claimed that Somalia is a member of the Arab league because they are closer to Arabs, that is a lie! Many Somalis hate Arabs and even the word itself. The fact that they are part of the Arab league is more because of a political move by one of their past leaders and that is all it was, a political move. Many Somalis will tell you that the move was / us a stupid one

OP,if you really need to ask such a question in this day and age I doubt you'd even understand the answer. The implications would be overwhelming-do smth else less mentally taxing,anything to keep your mind asleep.
Although this post is not for me, but there's this strange thoughts I have out of nowhere about who are the real ancient Egyptian?. I have dig in every related material, videos, recorded audios, historian record, and most of all YouTube videos have been very helpful. Just like your advice stated, this whole findings have been overwhelming for me and it makes me very sad, and I mean very very sad indeed. Because I have come to realize they (the white man and Arabs) all know the truth, there are so many clearly written evidence, photos, and most of all the ancient buildings and statues all around Egypt to indicate who the ancient Egyptian are. But thy will never admit. And we the blacks don't care to know or even try to claim what is ours. ,

The ancient Egyptians had a lot of different culture,which was borne out of the wealth of that nation thousands of years ago. People of Bantu ancesrry,Wolof,Sudanese,Ibos,Oromo-Ethiopians,Yorubas,Borgu and many Subsaharans people of West Africans once lived in Egypt and so also,Asians-both Semitic and south East ,once lived in Egypt,if one consider the different Pharaoh(Faroe or Fari)dynasties that ruled Egypt. The reality today is that the arabanised modern day Egyptians wouldn't admit this because of conquest by Assyrians-Hykos-Greeks culture. Around 671 B.C.E, Egypt suffered six invasion by foreigners, and which made Egypt culture became influenced by Greek's (Redford 2006Xiiii). Thus made many inhabitants of Egypt land of Nile to move donward through Sudan to West Africa.Again, in 1892,a historian known as Petrie,exhibited before the British association ,the third and fourth dynasty ,showing distinct Negroid characteristics.These Negroid head-skull were dolichocephalic or long skull. So also in 1899,tombs were examined in Nile Valley and it was discovered that it belonged to a Negroid race of Ethiopian ancestry.
The pointer to this is that Africans ,were people of different culture but fused as one in Egypt during civilization.Racial decriminalization became eminent, when some European historians around the 17th century used this word. It was only during the 19th century that this vague category was transformed in a quasi-scientific system of race and skin color relations. The term "Caucasian" is sometimes used as a synonym for "white" in its racial sense, and sometimes to refer to a larger racial category that includes white people among other groups.Before now,Israelis were not seen as white, the Germans hated for this.The Greek were not seen as white.The British ancestors were not seen as white,which made them fled the German land ,they once occupied etc.
Islam as a religion was used to dislodge the ancient Egyptians identity and once Islam took control of Egypt, their culture disappeared and almost became erased. Aramaic papyrus, pyramid,Biblical script-scroll and other archeological information were the source to reconstruct the ancient Black and other groups that connect their history to Pharaoh-Faroe-Fari of Egypt-Kemet-Amun-Nile.
