Some of their slaves were black, so I expect over the course of centuries some of their people were likely black as well.

>>558789
It has been hotly debated by acedemics between the 1800s and the 1950s. Most notably during the US civil war.

But it only started to gain popular appeal during the 1960s with the rise of black nationalism and Afrocentricism among common people. Similar to how the Ethiopian monarchist flag has become more or less synonymous with black nationalism outside of Africa.

>>558766
only American Africans think this way
Sub Saharan Africans are usually more Tribalist/Nationalist/Ethnicist and care more about the achievements of their own Tribe/Nation than Wether Egypt was black or not

In the Old Kingdom there are records of Egyptians complaining about how Divine Order was broken, slaves were mixing with Egyptians and dressing like nobles.

Some attribute the fall of the Old Kingdom to race mixing. The Egyptians ceased to exist for nearly 200 years after the Old Kingdom collapsed.

If any group had blacks, it was probably the Middle Kingdom, but they were highly diluted.

The Southern Egyptians conscripted the Nubians into the army also during the First Intermediate period, you can see them in pic related from around 2000BC.

The New Kingdom was not Black at all.

Why is this such a big fucking thing?

Everybody knows the Egyptians weren't black and it's easily provable. I know it's mostly SJW's who know nothing of history claiming this but still.

However, neither do I understand why both /pol/ and /tv/ are trying their hardest to deny that some of the pharaos were indeed black.
This doesn't make the populace of the entirety of ancient Egypt black so why get furious every time somebody mentions this?

I've seriously sat through dozens of threads where even mentioning the POSSIBILITY of black pharaos makes people (/pol/) go bat shit insane and shout WE WUZ KINGZ among other cool and epic memes

>>558783
Africa is 100% black save for European immigrants, I don't know why Americans are all like "hurr durr they're not *really* black, look at people from Somalia, 100% Caucasian skull form".

>>558986
>Some attribute the fall of the Old Kingdom to race mixing
who on earth is claiming this? The old kingdom fell because of multiple different problems surfacing at the same time, not because of people having sex with people from other cultures

>>559054
People with different backgrounds = more likely to end up in a conflict of ideologies and so on.

Actually it's the Americans who think Africa is 100% black due to the fact all of their Africans come from the black parts. For literally hundreds of years the name "Africa" referred only to the zone north of Sahara.

>what do you mean Tunisia is not black? IT'S IN AFRICA FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

That's the kind of shit you hear Americans say all the time.

>>559061
Well yes, people from different cultures not integrating into your culture will cause problems but hardly enough to destroy one of the strongest 'nations' of the time.

However, I don't see a problem if they are properly integrated into the society and somehow I don't see the more or less xenophobic (especially towards the asiatic cultures) Egyptians allowing people to keep their old traditions alive inside their borders

>>559061
That only came about with the rise of nationalism.

>live in 19th century Europe
>see that people with different ethnic backgrounds are fighting
>conclude all conflicts throughout history is caused by ethnic tension

It's anachronism. Medieval France or Hungary were multikulti (in the true sense of the word, not an Amerishit "melting pot") and didn't have much of a problem with it until the enlightement.

>>559048
There were black pharaohs, however the jump from "there were some black pharaohs" to "everyone from king Tut to Cleopatra was black" is pure idiocy.

>>559080
>the jump from "there were some black pharaohs" to "everyone from king Tut to Cleopatra was black" is pure idiocy
that's exactly what I'm saying. /pol/ on the other hand doesn't want to admit that there were any black pharaos to begin with, which I don't understand

>>559093
Because /pol/ is an ideological echo chamber much like afrocentrist cliques.

>>559106

I disagree. /pol/ is a bunch of edgy, deliberately contrarian children pretending to be pantomime extremists of whatever stripe is currently popular.

Look at how fast that moronic Eternal Anglo meme has been adopted.

>>559178
They are quite sheepish.

They've completely changed their scapegoat from Jews to SJWs.

>>559178
>Look at how fast that moronic Eternal Anglo meme has been adopted
I haven't really paid attention to that. I thought it was just a running gag from /int/ or something rather than a meme

/int/ is much better a board than /pol/ or /tv/ because they don't take things seriously and just throw friendly banter around

Well the people from Balkan seem pretty butthurt about Turks and vice versa but the rest are just laughing at them

>>559093
Both sides commit the oversimplifying error that everyone in a country has had the same ethnicity throughout its entire history.

I mean not all kings of England have been ethnically English, so why think Egypt was any different? Their kings were everything from the Hyksos through blacks to Greeks.

>>559106
Please. There are autist Muslims, autist Jews and autist LGBTs who spam their shit on /pol/ all the time.

/pol/ is actually extremely diverse

>I'm a muslim, we're in the fight together, right? We hate the eternal Jew!
>I'm a Jew but look, not all Jews are degenerate liberals! We have conservatives too, I'm one of you!

Yeah it is an echo chamber.

>>559186
>They've completely changed their scapegoat from Jews to SJWs.
no they fucking haven't. They still spend their days posting retarded image macros "proving" jews are behind all the evil in human history

>I'm a Jew, u mad goyim?? Lol who's the real masterrace xD
>I'm gay, let me spam twink pix

>>559197
I'd like to believe this but it's more and more obvious that /pol/ is filled with retards.

Of course there are some people with diverse opinions but it makes no difference when 70-80% of the board is filled with retards who also constantly engage on le epic red pill crusades to enlighten the people of 4chan about the evils of black people, jews, atheists and muslism

>>559221
so what you're saying is that the "diversity" on /pol/ is actually bad?

>>559197

True but none of those are as popular as the constant barrage of insurrectionary national socialism (which is even more extreme than the actual Nazis) that is constantly on display.

>>559229
No, it's good.

>>559223
It's filled with retards and smarties, also you don't think shitposting Muslims, Jews and gays are retards? Only white Christians can be retards?

Anyway, the retards make it more fun (except for trumptards who ruin it).
>evils of blacks, Jews, atheists and Muslims
Except got Muslims (are pretty demonized) those other groups are circle-jerked into places of unwarranted honor and prestige by the mainstream media. /pol/ is just responding to that indoctrination.

>>559232
Again, this is a response to the narrative that is constantly spammed by the mainstream (and lefty alternative) media.

>>559261
except for* Muslims (who* are pretty demonized)

>>559261
>also you don't think shitposting Muslims, Jews and gays are retards?
Never did I said that but never do you see them either and if you do happen to actually bumb into one, everybody will just laugh at him and shrug it off

/pol/tards on the other hand are much more vocal, get into every thread looking for a fight, are over the top racist and reactionary and there are hundreds more of them. That's the reason I don't think shitposting jews or muslims deserve to even be mentioned

>only white Christians can be retards?
I can definitely tell you're from /pol/ if you actually believe people think that way

>>559261

Exactly. Deliberately contrarian pantomime villains.

I predict that if a Republican is the next US president, especially Trump, /pol/ will flip to being hardcore left wingers.

>>559302
Hmm I don't think they will become full left wingers, they will always be anti-Jew.

They will probably become economically socialist but will stay culturally conservative. They will also become more anti-Zionist and isolationist.

>>559317
>They will also become more anti-Zionist and isolationist.

Nubians were black

There were also fairer-skinned Semitic and medium-toned members of other ethnicities.

Egypt was the crossroads between Africa, Europe, and Asia for millennia and as such it's likely that they were quite ethnically diverse when compared to other regions at the time.

At least until China engages in athmosperic arbitrage and ships pollution heavy industry over there.

It's basically African Americans, a demographic with very little history to be proud of clinging to the identity of the most prestigeous African society they could find.

The fact that Egypt is in North East Africa right next door to the Middle East and thousands of miles away from the Ivory Coast region where their ancestors most certainly came from isn't relevant to them, because they think "Africa" is just this country where black people came from and sheeit.

It's actually incredibly sad. Nothing more pathetic than seeing an African American wearing a Pharoah head dress or an Ankh or some shit.
I mean if my culture and language was stolen from me I'd probably do some retarded shit like that too.

>>559051

North Africa has never been black, not ever.

>But dey arabs nd sheeit

That's not how invasions work sonny Jim. If they did all of Africa would be white because Europe owned it all.

Moors weren't black
Egyptians weren't black

For the exact same reason the Indians aren't Chinese. Just because you share a continent that doesn't mean you're the same race.
