Seems about right, that would match the general definition of female. You may be female mentally but you're not actually female until you have the parts to boot.

For me to change my birth certificate in Michigan, that would be the measures I'd have to take.

We won't. You just need to give sources, and see if they're backed up by scholars.

As for why our history ain't Afro-centric, it is because Afros are way out of fashion. Mullet hair is in and it is hip!

Jesus and Mary were kind of darkish, and Egypt is in Africa... that's pretty much the closest.

Also, the reason that most history in the western world is Eurocentric rather than Afrocentric is that most of the western world (and indeed, much of the rest of it too) is either in Europe, or was at one point owned by Europe, making the history of Europe an extension of their own.

I browsed through Stormfront once. Had no idea what the site was about though. I was just reading something about attractive Polis- I mean, European history, and the guys on there seemed like great people. So I read through a few more pages of posts enjoying a particular thread when all of a sudden I was hit with an insanely anti-everything but white post followed by a few others and that was when I realized Stormfront is a white supremacy site.

Because replacing one biased view of history for another dehumanizes the people of the past, and takes away valuable input. There is a reason no one except on the Spanish side thought Cortez was viewed as a god by Aztec. The reason being any records on the incident were buried along with the millions who were busy dying from smallpox.

Both Mary and Jesus were Jews. Jews are white skinned. Also, Egypt was at the time controlled by romans... also white skinned.

Actually, Jews at that time were largely dark skinned, although not nearly as much as Africans. Jews today are more light skinned because they've been spread throughout Europe, where they mixed with the local populations, who were obviously white.

Bad satire is bad.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Both Mary and Jesus were Jews. Jews are white skinned. Also, Egypt was at the time controlled by romans... also white skinned.

Jews aren't white, they're Semitic. They've more in common racially with Arabs than Caucasians. And the natives of Egypt were still partially, well, Egyptian. But even before the Romans you had the terrible mix of Babylonian, Assyrian, and Greek that really overshadowed the whole original ethnic groups.
