Ancient Egypt is a sensitive topic because we, as a Holocausted people, have to see ourselves as being capable of greatness. But let us also pause and understand something about Ancient Egypt. Claiming ancient Empires that never claimed you is problematic.So swallow this pill and understand the point. There is no direct genetic relationship between most of us (esp the Diaspora, West, Central, and Southern Africa) and Ancient Egypt, or even Ancient Ethiopia. It is all political. And you need to understand that. "Looking like us" is political. And to make this point complete, ALL of Western Europe stands on the legacy of Greco-Roman accomplishments, they claim it as part of their civilization. Without having direct genetic claim to the past.The Founding fathers of America attached themselves to the Roman democracy as a continuation of their legacy. Everyone does this, especially the Jews who claimed to be the Ancient Biblical Hebrews--yet are totally different people. So Ancient Egypt is ours when we decide to embody their greatness--not just putting a dark skin man with locks in Pharaonic dress on a Facebook page--And nothing else.If someone read the writings of Afrocentrics, and they were new to Earth, the most shocking thing would be when they went to look up all these Afrocentric authors. They would first probably, after reading Asante, go and look for him in Africa (he isn’t there),Okay, then the final place to find him is involved in some massive trans-Atlantic business that creates wealth for the disenfranchised people of America and Africa. But again he is not there. Where forth is Mr. Afrocentricity? Up in some White man’s university getting a check signed by the old master (teresa Soufas retired)
