It seems like racial origin is much debated on this forum, usually our Somali friend, Axum start the most controversial debates. So do you believe in the Hamitic theory that says any progress in Africa was due to people that belong to the Hamitic group?

The funny thing is that it is now known that the people of Kush originally (which should never be mistaken for Cushitic as they are too different things, it's like comparing the Ghana Empire of Old to Ghana of today), were extremely dark skinned people from what is today known as Southern Sudan. So that throws the theory of Hamitic origin (which I don't believe exists) being the cause of success for anything.

I would like to know what Axum thinks of it though.

The Hamitic theory is often called 'scientific racism'. White people cunningly wanted to rob major African civilisations by putting Hamites in the Caucasian category. I learnt that in school when I studied the people who came up with this stupid theory.

Knowing the foolish ways of Ayanle, he will most likely agree with the narrative theory. This troll says that Christian Somalis automatically become Ethiopian lol

hamitic theory gain western backing in the19th century with the intervention of not only scientific racism but also the discovery of the civilizations of Egypt by French explorers and archeologists in the time of Napoleon.

While Egypt had long been considered a black land and thus HAMITIC , the discovery
of the wonders of Egyptian civilization and of
the knowledge passed on the by Greek
historians and legends that they owed much of
their knowledge to Egypt, meant that there now had to be some real intellectual acrobatics to WHITEN Egypt.
The Hamitic Hypothesis was
developed, and in it the Hamites were now WHITE people!

At different times they were seen as an
invading race that taught the blacks that
existed in Egypt everything they knew, and at
others they were a miraculously indigenous
white race that was the mother of Egyptian
civilization! The core of this hypothesis was
simply to prove that any achievement in
Africa had to be as a result of an invading WHITE or near WHITE race.

The Hamite went from being brainless savage with low IQ doomed to slavery, to be some kind of WHITE or near WHITE race in other to rationalized civilizations in Egypt, because Africans are not capable of building a civilizations with European help

There is an element of control and usury of people that is the basis of the foundation of all human civilizations. As a believer in scripture, the house of the biblical Character Ham led the way in these forms of "civilizations." These in the current Africa would be our Nilotes and Cushites.

For most of their stint on the continent, they never ventured beyond the current bounderies of the Sahara untill the more recent migrations which came long after the Bantus and other groups who had established Kingdoms already. Some later dispossesed their builders when they defeated them.

According to the same source, Ham's brothers made their own cities and it is therefore baseless to accord all civilizations to Hamites.
