Ancient Egyptian Race Debates Across The Web by Asante90: 8:51pm On Jul 03, 2013
I've been lurking this forum for some years now and I have notice that has been a frequent topic on here. Most of the post are very informative and the thing that I love is that it actually come from other AFRICANS! I have learned of a shit load of cultural commonalities between West/Central Africans and the Nile Valley civilizations, which aren't talked about in Egyptology or anywhere else for that matter. That being said as many of you already know there is a relentless assault on our history as black Africans coming mainly from racist white westerners who which to brand us to entire world as "intellectually inferior" (THE DUMMIES OF THE WORLD WHO HAD TO HAVE EVERYTHING TAUGHT TO US). Prior to Diop the word of white racist scholars on African history was the law, and when Diop challenged this he was marginalized by the almost exclusively white academic world. Today while almost everything that Diop has argued has been verified by contemporary research the reluctance of the Western world to concede to what these facts indicate about ancient African history has persisted (in the media). The internet has been a great tool in getting this information out to the masses, but even here we run into censorship and blatant prejudice against black Africans. When we have the "audacity" to assert that we contributed heavily to the development of the world, we are ridiculed and mocked by ignorant people. This tends to happen in my opinion because there simply are not enough people PUSHING for the respect of black African history, and the one or two people arguing for the truth tend to be overwhelmed by their ignorance and prejudice. I'm making this thread to help change all of that. What I want to do is start a thread where members can link each other to different discussions on the topic. This should help balance out the BS that we have to deal with and get the TRUTH out there.

Here is one to start off with Historum
