    I will never attack anyone personally for having a different view, and I hope this can be a safe space for open discussion and debate. Disagreeing is fine, but let’s focus on scientific and logical arguments rather than personal attacks. If we allow bias and name-calling to take over, we lose the chance to actually learn from each other. Let’s challenge ideas, not each other, and keep this conversation respectful and productive.

    Mary Lefkowitz was destroyed in that debate against John Henry Clarke by the way. She had absolutely nothing of intellectual value to add to the discourse and was embarrassed in the debate. The consensus among academics today is that the anthropological and genetic data both prove ancient Egyptians cluster with black Africans such as sudanese, Ethiopians, Kenyans etc. Diop’s work has been confirmed by today’s academics across all fields ot study.

      You can refer to my sources some of which are from reputable journals like Nature, which have rigorous peer review processes.
      The Arabs invaded Egypt in the 7th Century but they didn't wipe out and massacared the whole Egyptians and replaced them with an Arab population. Egyptians remained Egyptians, though some mixed with Arabs and later invaders, while others, like the Copts, had limited external mixing. You can refer to this study pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4446898/
      This is an excerpt from the study
      "The North African/Middle Eastern genetic component is identified especially in Copts. The Coptic population present in Sudan is an example of a recent migration from Egypt over the past two centuries. They are close to Egyptians in the PCA, but remain a differentiated cluster, showing their own component at k = 4 (Fig. 3). Copts lack the influence found in Egyptians from Qatar, an Arabic population. It may suggest that Copts have a genetic composition that could resemble the ancestral Egyptian population, without the present strong Arab influence."
      Of course, I strongly oppose Eurocentric narratives and white supremacy-history should be approached with fairness and respect for all peoples. No one should ever be called a sub-human; you can refer to reference number 5 for that. Also, calling me ‘lame’ is an ad hominem attack, which doesn’t contribute to a productive discussion. I think it's better to focus on the evidence rather than personal insults.

    Eurocentrism is funny to me because b.c.e era "Europeans" the Hellenes and Romans aren't "white" from an Anglo Saxon perspective. This is why they've flooded the market with Roman era movies with actors with blue eyes and British accents. Even today you known a Roman when you see them.
    Egyptians are Africans they just want no part of the stigma. Europeans will be blissfully ignorant of why Egypt did not want an Israeli (Gal Gadot) playing a Pharaoh in Kleopatra. Their self serving nature requires constant affirmation through the whitewashing of antiquity placing themselves in places that they were not.
    The miseducated amongst them still attempt to pull Ancient Egypt into Asia or the Mediterranean (like that matters they weren't there until just before the time of Jesus) despite modern Egyptians telling them this is incorrect and that Asia was part of the Nine Bows.
    Modern Egyptians understand how stupid the Eurocentric "1 drop rule" is as do most Africans. They have pushed this notion of purity but have forgotten that Ancient Greeks had zero interest in traveling to Northern Europe and the Romans thought they were backwards and dimwitted (wading through the muck and mire with blue painted bodies and iron around their necks like it was gold). One thing though that has remained steadfast is their ability to fight. From Vandals and Visigoths to Vikings and Normans. The ability to effectively wage war is the chief skillset of the European. This is why they live in a constant state of paranoia.

      Indeed, Eurocentric views and whitewashing in movies are a real issue. However, we cannot correct a racial bias with another. Instead of repeating past mistakes, we should strive to be fair and historically accurate rather than reactive.

      The "documentary" is accused of disregarding historical facts about the ptolemic family and assuming all of them are of African black descent while they are all Greek. Not just about the actors being of a black skin color, but the supposed experts say that "Cleopatra was black" for sure without any doubt.

      Actually, the word Nile started to appear after the Arab conquest and it might come from Arabic or sematic.
      In the ancient Egyptian language, the Nile is called Hapy. In Coptic, the word ⲫⲓⲁⲣⲟ, pronounced piaro (Sahidic) or phiaro (Bohairic), means "the river" (lit. p(h).iar-o "the.canal-great"), and comes from the same ancient name.
      Furthermore, I never claimed that Arabs are related to Ancient Egyptians to make the comparison.
