Afrocentrics are probably the most dogmatic and simple people possible. Africa's relevance to the advancement of human civilization is incredibly modest.
I do like watermelon, and I do believe in giving credit where credit is due. That's about it.

And don't forget frying. Before that, civilized people either roasted or stewed their meats.
Ancient Genetics
According to a genetic study in December 2012, Egyptian Monarch Ramesses III belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup E1b1a with an East Africa Origin, a YDNA haplogroup that predominates in most Sub-Saharan Africans.[26]
Your only problem there, and it is a big one, is that Egyptians weren't black. I am Greek, and ""melachrinos" meant dark-skinned and and still does today. In antiquity "Ethiopian" was used for blacks and the term "mavros" (black) is today.Afrocentrics are probably the most dogmatic and simple people possible.

As much as you may wish it, there is no way any people with straight and lighter-colored hair could be sub-Saharan Africans.
The interesting thing about what Herodotus wrote is that had he believed the Egyptians to be any other color than black like other Africans he could have chosen other Greek words than the one he chose. His word is melaschroes, black-skinned. If Herodotus thought the Egyptians were white he would have used leucochroes. Had they been simply brown, like so many African Americans, he may have used phrenychroes, but he chose the word melaschroes. This word comes from the same root as Melanesia, the black island, or melanite, a black garnet. The ancient Greek use of "melas" was precise. Egypt is in Africa. Why shouldn't the ancient Egyptians be anything other than black?
The Greek philosopher Aristotle writes in the 4th century B.C. in Physiognomonica that the "Egyptians and Ethiopians were very black."
BTW Logly I checked out your girls blog and I about fell out laughing. i was wondering why you didn't link your source. This is from 2008 and she has been clearly debunked by DNA evidence. Not that she was ever even a valid source in the first place but she was clearly prejudiced against the notion that the Egyptians were Black.

Didnt you say you were into science? Let me get this straight. You believe the word of an anthropology student over trained geneticists from 3 different sources? Is this what you are really saying?
I never heard this. How does hair appearance trump DNA? That's like genetics. You know like the genetics that prove we all came from a women in Africa? Either way not only do some Black Africans have straight hair without being mixed, the embalming process would have straightened the hair of someone with kinky textured hair as well.
Mathilda's Anthropology Blog: The vast majority of hair samples discovered at the site were cynotrichous (Caucasian) in type as opposed to heliotrichous (Negroid), a feature which is standard through dynastic times .
I it is the Cross section of the hair that matters not the straightness.
It means so much to you Afrocentrics that I would like to tell you that your Afrocentric theories are correct. But I cant, I am personally dedicated to the concept science and I cant say something that I dont believe to be true. The truth is the truth and should be honored for its own sake. This philosophy has given us the standard of living that we have in the West.

I am not refuting anything. I am not able to post links because I have not posted here enough, but I would be willing to look at your link if you are be willing post it here so I dont have to look for it; I am short of time. My search came up with nothing. If you have irrefutable proof that settles it; I have no investment one way or the other in this subject. But I dont believe that is true for Afrocentric scholars they seemed to be prejudiced towards finding that help them sell book to Afrocentric readers. In order for them to sell books they have to tell their readers what they want to hear..
I believe that grad students general work under the supervision of a professor and that it is a generally accepted practice.

It just seems weird you think an anthropology student working under a professor knows more about DNA than trained geneticists. Scroll up and you will see at least 1 link right on this page showing Rameses III DNA. I also posted a 2 links from a genetic company called DNAConsultants. wiki is available to you correct?

I looked at your link and you are correct in what it says, but Family Tree DNA is an enterpriser that is dependent on black customers, it may be a case of telling the customers what they want to hear. I would like to see academic confirmation in the from of peer review. I am not saying it is not true; I am saying that I am suspicious. But even if it is true one man does not make a whole nation. Few people disagree that ancient Egypt was a mixed country with the south being more black the rest of the country. I believe ancient Egypt looked a lot like it does today which is predominantly Caucasian.
Afrocentrics have lost credibility for some the outrageous things that they have claimed. Afrocentric have claimed that both the Carthaginians and Cleopatra were black neither of which is true. So I remain suspicious of any Afrocentric claim.
Also, I was not talking about DNA but cross sections of hair; something much easier to review than DNA and in this case just as valid and all one needs is a microscope.

Maybe you completely missed the implications of just that one man being that percentage of sub-saharan DNA. That would mean his father, grandfather, great grandfather etc were also Black. Are you saying their was a ruling class of Blacks over a mixed society? If so were is your proof of this? Early white historians have zero credibility as they have been caught in several serious breaches, omissions, and outright lies.

You know that genes are swapped randomly during conception. A person could be Caucasian in all appearances and still have some black, Negroid, Congoid DNA and the opposite is also true. According to USA DNA Most Southern white in the US from old southern families probably have at least two to three percent black DNA.
He never mentioned anyone being very white. How do you explain this enigma? What makes more sense to you? That white people rose up from the Ice ages in Europe, traveled to Africa, built a great civilization in Africa under the supervision of a Black ruling class and then left and went back to Europe and never built anything like Egypt or that the Black people that actually lived there built, developed and governed Egypt? And yes "everybody" can be wrong. Remember the flat earth crowd? The ironic thing is your claim of "everybody" is not even true. There are plenty of white scholars and historians that advocate an all Black Egypt.The Greek philosopher Aristotle writes in the 4th century B.C. in Physiognomonica that the "Egyptians and Ethiopians were very black."

I think you got confused somewhere along the line. White were in Europe during the time the pyramids were built. There is no record of whites ever being in Egypt until after Greece became the first country in Europe around 800 BCE. Where did these whites come from and where did they go leaving absolutely no record? You have to have something other than you think this is what happened. As I pointed out:

You either are confused or bad at exaggerating. When I agreed that is was possible that a black could be a Egyptian pharaoh I did not mean that all Pharoses were black. The Bible states that Joseph , a Hebrew , rose in Egypt to be only second to the pharaoh himself. A cleaver and unscrupulous man capable of rising that high from slavery could seize power for himself.
Also, I never said or implied the that ancient Egyptians where white. There were some whites in ancient Egypt if the wall painting are to be believed, but they were a minority , most likely war captives. The majority of ancient Egyptians were Caucasians, but not whites. There actually is no such thing as a white race; white is just another term for Europeans and Europeans are just one group of Caucasians. All Caucasians no matter where they live or what their skin tone is originate from one tribe of people form prehistoric Central Asia.
They came from the Eurasian steppes and settled in the Middle East either before and just after the last Ice Age and displaced the few Negroid peoples who lived in the area. Sometime later they moved into North Africa including the a Nile valley and did the same thing there. This is a recurring migration pattern through out history. There have been numerous migration invasion from the North, but there has only been one from the South, the Nubians.
The people of present day Egypt are predominately Caucasians it is much more logical to believe they came from the Eurasian steppes than to believe that a mythical black population was exterminated by invading Islamic Arabs. The Arabs were not interested in exterminating but converting.

Where is your proof that the majority of ancient egyptians were Caucasians? Do you have anything at all that proves this? Also you are wrong about there being only one migration out of Africa. The facts point to the first migration which resulted in the Aborigines and the Negritos. What would much later become the so called caucasian migrated next, followed by the same Black people that populated Nubia, Kemet, India, and Sumer. Whites came about as a result of the Ice Age. All the Pharaohs were Black until Persia invaded. Please show me the evidence that refutes the mountains of evidence that the egyptians were Black sub-saharans as the Greek historians said themselves. Do you have even 1 link?

10 Arguments That Prove Ancient Egyptians Were Black - Page 2 of 6 - Atlanta Black Star
What happened to all those hypothetical black Egyptians, extermination camps? In ancient times Egypt was the most populated country in their part of the world. The Persians were Caucasians but they were a minority in Egypt. They didnt defeat the Egyptian because they out numbered them but because the Egyptian couldnt get their act together.
The problem with Afro-Centric sources is that Afrocentrics are so invested in the outcome that some invent their own facts. Just because a people have live in Africa for thousands of years does not make them black.
I know that you wont believe me, but it means so much to you that I would like to tell you that you are right, but I cant lie.
