The ancient Egyptians were black

Egypt is in Africa

Christianity was forced upon the Africans during slavery to “keep slaves in line”

Whites want to make Africa look bad so they can take it over

Africa is a BLACK continent

Although a large portion of Egypt is in Africa,…

>ancient Egyptians were black

oooooooooh boy good luck telling that to the average Egyptian.

The average Egyptian is not the ancient Egyptian . Ignorance is bliss!!!

The Egyptians were as black as the Romans were white. Ancient Egyptian civilization, culture, political structure, and religion all have roots in the areas of the Fertile Crescent, which were an Arab area. It was primarily through early Arab Imperialism that most of Northern Africa is Arabic today.

^ This. Let us not forget that some of the Pharaohs during the THREE THOUSAND YEAR dynastic structure were actually Nubians from upstream of the Nile in what is now Ethiopia. Not to mention that, as an empire, Egypt featured a variety of complexions, as most imperial powers tend to do once they begin mixing cultures through conquest and influence.

Some rulers were purported to be fair skinned, redheads, still others were “golden” and others still were, as I mentioned, jet-black Nubians. There is no one-true-face of Egypt any more than there is one-true-face of of a multiethnic society.

Also important to note that many Queens or Pharaohs came from the Middle East or Caucus regions as tribes or sects of people would inter-marry as to “keep the peace” among different empires. 

For example, it is believed that Nefertiti is of Armenian decent. She was of the Mitanni tribe, the origin of the Armenian people. 

besides, in the grand scheme of things, we are all African…

I wrote a pretty lengthy article about Barack Obama’s refusal to acknowledge the Armenian genocide on my old blog, but I can’t seem to find it right now. Here’s a link to a PDF from the Armenian National Committee of America detailing the MANY, MANY times he said he would recognize the genocide for what it was before he became President. Since his election, he’s been mum, and even expressly refused to follow through on that promise.

Just one example of how Obama is okay with throwing entire groups of people under the bus in the name of foreign interests, e.g., appeasing Turkey— who allows us to use their country to wreak havoc on the Middle East. An entire race of people almost decimated by a government, and now our government is refusing to acknowledge the event to appease another government so that we can then go in a topple other governments still. Does anybody else agree that this is completely fucked up?

Sadly all of my friends and family, and even I, believed him at the time. He was calling out names all the way to the White House and it actually got him elected. Why would we think he’d flip on all of his promises (probably because he’s a politicians)?

Anyway, I came to the realization about 3 years ago that no American President will acknowledge the Genocide until Armenia has something valuable to offer them. 

I also don’t care if they do. 

What does that do for Armenians? Nothing. Just like France’s recognition did nothing. And then they made it illegal to slander and speak of the genocide as if it never happened, set aside the fact that this is a violation of free speech, it did nothing for us again. Actually, it did do something, it angered the Turks even more. 

The only acknowledgment of the Armenian (and Assyrian, Greek and Kurdish) Genocide I seek is one from the Turkish Gov’t. 

I encourage all Armenians to befriend Turkish people and realize that they are humans and they only know as much as their gov’t allows them to know. Most have been told for their entire life that the genocide is either a myth or that the reality is that Armenians slaughtered Turks. This is not their fault and we must stop hating them as if it is. 

Many Turks over the years have come out and risked their lives to write articles, books and lead protests in Turkey to acknowledge the events and the gov’t has deported them, banned and burned their books and even assassinated them. The people of Turkey are just as much victims of their gov’t as my people were 100 years ago. 

Here’s the rest of my thoughts on Armenian-Turkish relations and how the Armenian people need to change their own mindset to get the ball moving. http://sugashane.tumblr.com/post/21721455097/r-i-p-to-all-the-armenians-assyrians-greeks-and
