Did white people steal all their culture from black Egyptian

Postby Colorful Bund » Sun Jul 19, 2015 10:04 am

Clearly ancient Egypt was the welspring of all civilization. To cis-het white male "scholars" more inclined to check their racial status quo than their privilege, this was unacceptable. This is why they denied the fact that Greek philosophers such as Aristotle stole "their" ideas from the black people of Egypt.

In truth white people stole culture from ancient Egypt (black Africans) but then they lost it in the dark ages caused by white people. The Moors who were black Africans took this culture back until the renaissance and white conquest of Iberia, when white people appropriated black culture again and claimed it as theirs in spite of having nothing to do with it in the first place. Then white people stole the land and resources of the native Americans and the labor of Africans to create the prosperity they enjoy today...at others'expense. Wnd then all modern music such as rock are stolen from black artists as if people of color haven't suffered enough.

This is a well established truth and I think that the only reason anyone has to deny it is racism. But some people who disagree might just be ignorant. What do you think nsg?

Everyone stole fire and the wheel from the African continent. Clearly this cultural appropriation cannot stand!

No they had a large semitic component but their ideas came from black people.

We got a black supremacist instead of a white supremacist. That's rather unusual.
Anyway, the Egyptians weren't black- they were actually considered white by racial "science". So were the moors.

I suspect your a troll but I'm going to humor you just in case. First of all its quite hard to "steal culture", but yes the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean and north Africa learned a lot from the Egyptian people. I think its worth noting that very few people say that the Ancient Egyptians where white, they are most often portrayed as Arabs or modern Egyptians (which they weren't).

As for the "Moors". Moor is a blanket term for all sorts of people from North Africa - some of them where Black, some of them where Berbers, some where Arabs it was a general term used by Europeans meaning 'non-white'. They were certainly more advanced than many European cultures at the time - insofar as medicine, maths and learning were concerned.

It's not really a case of 'aprorpiation' a term which is really overused by the way. Certainly European civilization was influenced by African civilisation throughout history but "stealing" and "apropriation" just over simplify an increibdly complicated issue.

What about Babylonia, the Phoenicians and Israelis? Those were just as important for Western culture.
Carl Sagan, astrophysicist and atheist wrote:"Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.
When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages,
when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling,
that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...
The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both."

10/10 good argument you persuaded me. I now acknowledge that everything white people ever did was stolen from andient egyptians, who were black. I will now check my privilege as a child of Yakub.

Why did white archaeologists chop off the negroid flat noses that were found on Egyptian statues?

Because it contradicts the racial narrative of white supremacy.

Go back to the Nation of Islam splinter group you belong to, and tell them there is no way a black scientist created "white people" six thousand years ago, and shouldn't you have a UFO to catch?
