I do not understand the purpose of this thread. How does it help us to become informed about racialism? If anything it seems to promote racialism.
The idea that Egyptians are/were Africans is trivial. Egypt is in Africa. The idea that Egyptians are/were African-Americans in the "Black" ideological sense is silly. The United States did not exist in ancient times. There was/is no endogamous color line in Egypt (nor anywhere outside the U.S., for that matter).
Unless someone can show how this thread furthers the site mission in light of 3.3 Advocacy versus study of racialism in the "Commentary on The Rules" forum, I shall delete it.
It's pretty down to earth. Basically, alot of the real history has been stolen away from blacks, because one race thinks they are superior to the other one. If that's not clear, I dont know what is. And yes, the American definition of 'black' doesn't apply here, but its pretty obvious that there has been a systematic mental slavery made against people of darker skin color. The Egyptians were of African heritage, they had dark skin color. I've read enough to know this. And they went through miscegnation because of trade and immigration. Thats why they look the way they look today. Look at all the Africans on the North Side of the continent and why they look different from those on the south side. Its pretty obvious , that's its because trade was much closer. It was much easier for people to travel to these countries. Now, I never claimed any relation between African Americans and Egyptians, as we know, this forum is way bigger than the study of African Americans. Thats why I put this under 'International Stories'. I'm thinking that you are rejecting this , because its borderline hatred. But I think you are seeing it in a way different light. This is in no way hatred. Just getting facts out. I posted a previous article just like this, talking about history, and I didnt hear anything from anyone. Now this comes online, and it seems like you can't handle the truth.

I've read your policy. But I think you don't realize,'people with darker skin color', 'people of color', have had a mental slavery imposed upon them 'by caucasians or better yet people who don't have color, look pink', how else do you want me to describe it. How does one let out information that's valuable, just because of a few disagreements? The point of the article isn't to claim that there are different races, but to claim the true history that has been stolen .

History is a form of literature. You cannot "steal" history any more than you can "steal" poetry or painting. No art form belongs to one group.

Very clear. You believe that there are two "races" and that one of the "races" thinks that they are superior. That belief is racialism in its bluntest form. If you truly believe it, you must keep it to yourself. Post that opinion here again and your posting privilege will be immediately suspended.

I do not know what you mean by "mental slavery." Real slavery (the transatlantic slave trade) ended well over a century ago, except within Africa among Africans. If you have any evidence of lifelong hereditary involuntary labor by Europeans against Africans today, please cite a source.

According to their depictions of themselves, they spanned the entire human complexion range. What would it take to convince you that many were as fair as today's Egyptians?

The issue is not "the truth," but site goals. You cannot preach racialism in this site. We are here to study the phenomenon, not to participate in it. If we were criminologists studying crime and criminals, we still would not allow anyone to commit crime. We are students of racialism studying racialism and racialists. We do not allow anyone to commit racialism.

Stolen, Changed Up, Lied About, - Those are pretty much all the same thing. I Think people get the point.

Lol, I do not believe in racialism, but I know they do. And they thought that people who were darker than them were inferior. Go ahead. I'm honeslty posting , honest information.

Mental Slavery - thinking they cant do anything because they aren't of a lighter color. Thinking that 'white' is right. What else? Lol, they ended slavery the institution, but slavery, the process, continued. That's why you had the Jim Crow Era,and the Civil Rights movement. Reagan Politics. Even today, alot of African countries, are under economic slavery. Keep denying, the obvious, it just makes you sound stupid. Mental slavery, is making sure the people don't think highly of themselves, and that is what America has done constantly. If you ever lived the life of a 'black' person, you would know this. Keep hiding behind the 'racialism' facade. The more you ignore the issue, the faker your argument. I've never said that I believed in races, but I know the people that do, have used it to their advantage. And there is no science to that. There is no science to how people have been racist. Am i supposed to post something that safe , please . I dare you to take off my privileges. I dont give a damn anymore, this site is messed up.

And your point being. There are plenty people of color that span different complexions. The fact of the matter is the Europeans in that day, knew they were darker people. That's what they called them. African-Americans span different complexions, yet they are still called people of colour.
Go tell that to your 'white' people at the top.

If you are students, then learn about how people used the color of people's skin to stay at the top. These are the subjects- the people who believed in racialism. These are the people who believed that they were of a better 'race'. You talk about things such as what is 'black' , what is 'white' , in other countries. Now I'm posting something regarding these categories, and you are going off on me about racialism. You should just delete every single post on this site then lol. Someonelse, please come and explain to me, what I did wrong. If I get removed off this site, I'm fine with it. It's rigged, if you cant even allow me to post a topic such as this. I clearly don't disregard the rules. Did I say , I believe there are two races , No? I'm showing you the subjects.

Stolen, changed up, and lied about are most definitely not the same thing. If you have no respect for the English language readers will ignore what you write. Regarding people getting the point, you are mistaken. People cannot get the point when you say "Jack stole something" to mean "Jack lied about something" or "Jack changed something."

This claim is a new thesis, not a discussion of site policy. If you believe that people who "are not of a lighter color" suffer from the psychological deficit of thinking that "they cannot do anything," then post your claim in the anthropology forum (where it will promptly be challenged). This forum is reserved for site policy discussions.

No, you are not supposed to post something that is safe. But you are supposed to post only claims that are semantically clear and factually verifiable. Please do not be defiant. I am trying to explain how you can participate in this site.

Called "people of colour" by whom? If you have a thesis that someone claims that Egyptians are colored, please identify the person (or group) and make your claim in the "History of the U.S. Color Line" forum, not here. This forum is reserved for site policy discussions. If you have a thesis that someone claims that Egyptians are White, please identify the person (or group) and make your claim in the "History of the U.S. Color Line" forum, not here.

Please do not ignore requests for substatiation of claims. You now have 24 hours to provide the thread number or message number of any "article just like this" that you posted on this site.

If you want to post about "people who believed in racialism" please do so in the appropriate forum. Just stick to the rules: use standard English, define your terms when asked, back up factual claims, and (outside of the two political advocacy forums) do not express value judgements.
The next time that you post anything into this forum that is not about site policy, your posting priviledge will be immediately suspended.
