Racism towards White Africans!?

Question

Why is it okay to say that whites are not the natural inhabitants of Africa despite the fact that Caucasian peoples have certainly lived in Africa since at least Ancient Egyptian times? Why is it okay to say this when white Africans in Southern Africa have a history going back to the 15th century?

Why is this okay yet in Europe if someone said to a born and bred black person that they did not belong in Europe it would be condemned?

I do not like racism but nor do I like hypocrisy either!

Answer 1

The Ancient Egyptions were Arabs who kept black slaves then the Greeks came along and kicked their asses and from then the Egyptions were of Greek descent, this is where they got all of their culture from.

Answer 2

I’m Egyptian. I’m not black. How someone at the other end of the continent can lay claim to an ancient civilisation whose nearly one hundred million descendants are alive and kicking if alas not going strong boggles my mind. Kush was black. Aksum. Meroe. Nubians. Ethiopia. But what do Egyptians levelheadedly have to do with Hutus or Tutsis or Xhosas or Zulus? You can’t force an identity on a people who neither consider it theirs nor are considered to bear it. As to Propeller’s remark about Ramses’ black identity being masked by racist Egyptologists, the pharaoh’s actual skull would leave him hard-pressed to find more Caucasian features. http://histoforum.digischool.nl/mummies/...

Answer 3

Holy Crappies then that means Moses was also black hey!!!!

Answer 4

Ancient Egyptians were black, look it up. I'm African, and I'm black. I personally don't have a problem with people who choose to call themselves white Africans but I understand why people like me resent that term. Pick up a history book and learn how to look at things through other people's perspective not just your own then ask the right questions.

PS - I've met white Europeans who've candidly told me that they don't consider black Europeans their equals. One even used the term pseudo European. Double standards are everywhere.

Edit: Trust you to only look at one source, what did I tell you about perspective? Constantin Francois de Chasseboeuf, Comte de Volney wrote a book about his travels in Egypt in 1787 and Dominique Vivant, Baron de Denon made sketches of Egyptians - look these up, and others. If Ancient Egypt wasn't a black civilisation, what was it then?

Answer 5

I watched a program about Ramses II and he was in fact caucasian with red hair.

Answer 6

In African culture if someone treats you as an equal then you treat them as an inferior, so it has all ways been and so it shall all ways be.

White people will all ways be considered to be exploiter and oppressors of the people, they came here in their ships and grew fat and rich off our wealth and people.

No we do not want white people in Africa because you demand too much, you are just too hard to please.

We have liberated you from yourselves and given you freedom, an opportunity to compete in a democratic society, side by side with all Africans on a level playing field, and now you are finding life a bit tough?

Well shame, This is Africa, my children and here we grow up tough and strong and wise we were never sheltered from life's experiences like the whites , we were the children of the Ghettos and we learnt how to fight.

If you can't take the heat, whities, get out of Africa

Answer 7

OMG. so white people lived there hmmm. wats wrong with telling Ly's. they fckin changed Ramses features and then said he was white. of course its only whites who will believe that c**p. but the 75% of the hamitic world wont. i dont want to be condersending but come on.

Back to your point. Some white people dont even want to be called african. BUt blacks are still called african all over the world britian, usa, german, france etc. so the mentality can b changed at this moment. the tree is already bent!

Answer 8

Answer 10

No white person belongs in this continent..u will never be african..GO AHEAD AND REPORT MY ANSWER!

Answer 11

Ancient Egyptians were in fact black. The old kingdom was formed by migrants from the lower nile from modern day sudan and the Egyptian civilization and Nubian Kingdom went hand in hand. Now by the end of the old kingdom, the beginning of the new kingdom and the fall of ancient egypt in the new kingdom, Romans had began invading the nation. Note that this was thousands of years after the old kingdom which consisted of blacks and by the time Egypt fell, most of its inhabitants were in fact, afro-Asiatics, and Europeans. Now as for South Africa, I have no problem with whites inhabiting Africa, the only problem is that for the last 400 years white south africans have ruled south africa under an iron fist and trampled over the second class blacks as late as the 1990s. Now that things have turned around, the fingers have begun pointing to the blacks as the oppressers. So seriously stop complaining. When I went to south africa (I'm Kenyan) I was horrified by the amount of open racism I saw, I expected racism but I didn't expect it to be that open and widly accepted. The racism I saw as white against black and I would Never support blacks who were anti white but I do believe that SA needs an urgent reform. Whites and blacks need to integrate themselves for the greater good of the future of SA. I saw very little integration and we all know that the whole seperate but equal c**p does not work

Answer 12

Ja, very good question. This is the one I would like answered as well. This is hypocrisy at its worst. Too bad I can't answer the question.

Answer 13

Lol Honey this is doing my head in,why fight over who was white or black,I mean as far as I know the Egyptians were Arabs and still are.XXXX

Answer 14

It is absolutely amazing to me how infuriated some people can still get about race issues !

It is equally amazing to me that the passion I am feeling from this issue...is being squandered on this issue !

What are we arguing about ! ?

-whether caucasians are natural inhabitants of Africa ?

-the skin tone of ancient egyptians

-the race tensions in South Africa

-European sentiment towards black people born there ?

Whatever the ancient Egyptians were...they are not us. Lets stop trying to draft them like this is some kind of contest. We are all humans...and we share our successes...as well as our dismal failures.

Answer 15

Emjay, you've got to realise that everything that goes wrong in the universe is the white man's fault.

I believe Egyptians were half Arab, half black.
