Can the phylum 'Hamitic' still be used to describe Horners, Berbers etc? Is it still a valid classification?

Is the phylum 'Hamitic' still valid?

Hamatic is a biblical term, not a scientific term. Ham's four sons, Canaan fathered the Canaanites, while Mizraim fathered the Egyptians, Cush fathered the Cushites, and Phut fathered the Libyans (Berbers).
It's an out dated classification just like the four racial theory like Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid and Australoid.

Out dated classification
Afro Asiatic used to be called hamo-semetic I think he is asking about that

Cushitic general
Nah itβs not suitable for cushitics
What journals maybe they are old ones
What journals maybe they are old ones
Even ones dated in the 2000's which is why I'm confused
Some European countries still use hamo-semetic but it fell out of use in the US and UK

Whats your thoughts? I've seen the word 'Hamitic' still being used. I thought it was de-classified.

Old pseudo science
People still use race in America.
Race in America is a mess relics of an old time

The term Hamitic comes from the race science days of colonialism, and was popularized by racist anthropologists especially Germans and English ones. They came up with what is called the "Hamitic Race Theory" where they got out their callipers and measured some skulls and came to the conclusion that the "Hamitic" was different from the "Negroid" race and that difference was that they were "dark skinned Caucasoids" or basically dark skinned white people.
It's all tied up in racist pathology and white supremacist thinking.
Race is phenotype based, and america as usual is far behind the rest of the world. Would like to be classified as a negro or hamitic?

"Hamitic (from the biblical Ham) is a historical term in ethnology and linguistics for a division of the Caucasian race and the group of related languages these populations spoke. The appellation Hamitic was applied to the Berber, Cushiticand Egyptian branches of the Afroasiatic family, which, together with the Semitic branch, was thus formerly labelled "Hamito-Semitic".[1] However, since the three Hamitic branches have not been shown to form an exclusive (monophyletic) phylogenetic unit of their own, separate from other Afroasiatic languages, linguists no longer use the term in this sense. Each of these branches is instead now regarded as an independent subgroup of the larger Afroasiatic family.[2]
Beginning in the 19th century, scholars generally classified the Hamitic race as a subgroup of the Caucasian race, along with the Semitic race β thus grouping the non-Semitic populations native to North Africa and the Horn of Africa, including the Ancient Egyptians.[3] According to the Hamitic theory, this "Hamitic race" was superior to or more advanced than Negroid populations of Sub-Saharan Africa. In its most extreme form, in the writings of C. G. Seligman, this theory asserted that virtually all significant achievements in African history were the work of "Hamites" who had migrated into central Africa as pastoralists, bringing new customs, languages, technologies and administrative skills with them. In the early 20th century, theoretical models of Hamitic languages and of Hamitic races were intertwined.[4]
This nomenclature gradually fell out of favour between the 1960s and 1980s, in large part due to its perceived association with colonial paternalism. The populations of Hamitic ancestral stock are now more commonly known as "Caucasoid".[5]"
