Afro-Centrism was really big in Hyde Park growing up. Always pissed me off; suddenly the Arab-Muslims were all race blind carebares, while fucking annihilated the greatest "Black" African society in Nubia and then went on to rape and steal and enslave to this very fucking day Black Africans, and suddenly Cleopatra and all the Egyptians and Greeks were black.
I mean, honestly. Our entire fucking species comes from Africa. Fucking everyone and everything. That's not enough to be fantastically proud of? That the continent is the womb of our entire species? You have to make shit up? Jesus.
Relax.

Cleopatra? Cleopatra was Greek (and had more than enough nose to prove it, if her coins are to be believed) and was born 250 years after the Macedonians had conquered Egypt for themselves and stablished a Greek dinasty. And the Ptolemies married amongst themselves, so she was probably as Greek as Ptolemy I Soter.
Regarding old Egyptians in general, for starters they certainly weren't white... if you divide peoples exclusively in whites and blacks, then Egyptians were black. But the Egyptians saw themselves as very different from the Semitic 'Asians', Phoenicians, Syrians, etc, but very different from the black Nubians too. They were... well, Egyptians!
This picture shows from left to right: Lybian, Nubian, 'Asiatic' and Egyptian

And then we have the Nubian dynasties themselves...

OK, he's seems black. But... why would he be Hannibal or the coin Carthaginian?
a) The elephant isn't a war elephant. No driver, no tower, no crew (North African wood elephants probably didn't wear towers, but they did need a driver and probably one or two 'riders' too).
b) The only sign is an 'M' below the elephant. That isn't Phoenician. It could mean 'Micipsa', 'Masinissa', 'Mauretania'... or something completely different.
I'm remembered of the 'I, Claudius' episode in which the future emperor complains to his friends because the copists have got his History of Carthage completely full of painted elephants!
Now, we are back where we started. Hannibal wasn't "white", he was a phoenician, and perhaps had berber blood too. He probably would look 100% Arab to us.
While we're at it, Jesus was most likely black also.

You know, as well as I do, that if there are few subjects Americans, black or white, care less about than actual Africans. Your facts do not concern them.

Actually it's very remincent of how Russians act in regard to their history. In fact lots of cultures do that. The odd thing is when it's done by cultures which have acomplished quite a bit. Or when people from a totally different culture do it to a another culture they have no relationship with as with Afrocentrism.

Afro-centrism is very retarded indeed.
Especially since it is mostly spread by African-Americans (West Africans generally) yet they always go on and on about the Ethiopians and Nubians...East Africans. Far more of a difference there than between many Caucasian groups. Certainly not their ancestors.

Genetically speaking, Native Americans, the Chinese and Caucasians are closer related to Egyptians and Ethiopians than far West Africans. Even the Dinka are really far removed. Africa is a really diverse place genetically, and the East Africans gave birth to all non-African humans, and are thus fairly closely related, while the populations that went into West Africa (who became Bantu), Central Africa (who became Pygmies) and South Africa (who became Khoisan) are all very, very different, though the Bantu Expansion has changed quite a bit.

Black is just a skin color. It's not even a particularly important or interesting phenotype; living in areas with lots of UV exposure over several generations will give a population darker skin (or rather make them keep it/revert to it), while low UV exposure with dark skin will mess with your Vitamin D levels and end up causing serious health problems unless corrected by diet.

I think Macedonians themselves took great pains to point out they are a different ethnic group (even if they adopted a lot of Greek culture).
While Macedonians melted with Greeks later on, at the time the Ptolemeans branched out they were still pretty distinct. :P

Actually, she was part-Greek, part Macedonian, and part Semetic. Both of her parents were illegitimate children born to non-Macedonian women. By the time of her reign, the blood of the Ptolemies was running thin in the royal house (and during all those late reigns, of course, it was often just running).

Africa could sink in the ocean and the world wouldn't notice.
Disagree. I would say that this statement says a lot about you, however.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Obviously satellites and seismic instruments would pick up the event and we would actually notice.

I stand by my statement.

That's not true. Africa has many valuable natural resources, many of the world's remaining large mammals, and has something of an emotional value as the cradle of the species.
Now, if the human population of Africa were to be wiped out, people would notice. However, it'd be more of a 'Thank god that's over with, let's get some real people into those empty lands' sort of thing. Of course, it'd be better to make it a nature preserve. Really, Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe and most of Asia should be nature preserves.
Presently Africa is sparsely populated enough you could make most of it a nature preserve today.
Unfortunately the population is expanding at a rapid rate, but I think it is slowing down and hopefully that can continue so most of Africa can be preserved and does not turn into another Europe or the Eastern US.

Too many people. The number of humans must be reduced into the double-digit range.
