  1. No, this is not true at all. In Egypt, the lighter-skinned people with more Arab ancestry rule the social order and the darker-skinned people comprise the working classes and paupers.

    You can look at photos of any of Egypt's top politicians - Boutros Boutros-Ghalie, Anwar Sadat, Hosni Mubarek - and compare their appearance to the general public shown in the pictures.


  2. im not sure but i know in africa the lighter your skin the more cows your worth (thats a good thing by the way lol)

    EDIT-actually i think it's the opposite.

  3. No, actually the Semitic White Arabs of Egypt are as predjudice against the Black population there as any where else and for the same reasons European and other Whites, use. Anwar Sadat, a Mulatto, hide this from  the Egyptian population for this very reason.His father was Semitic White Arab Egyptian and his mother was Sudanese Black.He only admitted this shortly before his death. Arabs, the rulers of Egypt(65% vs. 30% Black, Black/Semitic White Arab mix, and about 5% other etnicities) are generally olive-colored(golden brown)  in skin color, while most others(mainly Black), are much darker and have different facial features.

    Interestingly enough, many Black Americans often call the Egyptians, both ancient and modern, Black, even though they have been Semitic White Arab since 5,000 B.C. with the exception of the Black Nubians/people of Kemit(made up lower southern 1/4 of Egypt and modern day Sudan until it was annexed by Arab Egyptian King Mines in 1520 B.C.). The Nubians then made a pact with the Semitic White Arabs to be Pharoahs to avoid total annhilation.Thus, about 100 years of Black Nubian Pharoahs. This is reflected by the different colors and facial features of the people on the wall drawings. King Tut exhibits both Semitic White Arab features and Nubian Black features, and, like Anwar Sadat, was most likely mixed.

    Interestingly enough, most Black Africans realize and accept Egyptians are Semitic White Arabs and part of the reason for the war in Sudan is based on this. The Black Sudanese feel the immigrant Arab(Semitic White) population is spreading to fast and will lead to the Egyptians annexing Sudan(remainder of ancient Nubia).

  4. Yes, racism is there too.
