Why is it that black people get ridiculed and mocked by people, just for holding the belief that the ancient Egyptians may have been black? Some even come up with the racist "WE WUZ KANGZ N SHIET" expression. Why are black people not allowed to claim ancient Egyptian history? Why are they denied the right to claim a glorious African civilisation?
And what I find odd is, how non Greek and Latin Europeans can claim Ancient Greek and Roman history due to these civilisations being European. Why is it acceptable for a Dane, Poles, Scots, Finns and so on to claim Greek and Roman history when they had absolutely nothing to do with Ancient Greece and Rome? This is the double standards that I'm talking about.
All this, in my opinion, boils down to simple racism. Some people just don't and can't bring themselves to accept the possibility that one of the world greatest civilisations, that had such an impact on human history, may have been black (before the Persians came knocking)
Disclaimer: when I say ancient Egyptians may have been black, I obviously don't mean and include Bantu blackness ( I have no idea what that even means) What I mean is the standard dark skin that Africans south of the Sahara have.
