Herodotus referred to Egyptians, Nubians and Ethiopians as Aethiopian, "dark skinned" so as far as the Greeks were concerned Egyotians were as "black" as Nubians.

Its important to note though that the Greeks did not divide the world on racial lines, only by continent.

The existence of unicorns probably has more source material supporting their existence than this.

Think about it. Did Thomas Edison invent Electricity? No it already existed as energy, he just constructed a way to harness it to be useful to humanity. And even going up to Jet Fuel, it already in essence existed as a chemical, we just didn't know how to synthesize the formula for a while.

I never claimed Thomas Edison invented electricity?

Not only that, but they regarded pretty much ANYONE who wasn't Greek a "barbarian" and inferior and inherently meant to be slaves.
"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

I want to see the evidence stating the Egyptians were white. Source?

I'd prefer not to see BESB's arsehole please.

Ever since i can remember, i have never wanted to smoke, i think its disgusting and deadly, in fact 3 out of 4 of my grandparents smoked, and only one lived to meet their grandkids. But the main reason i dont smoke is because of the risk of cancer. But it turns out not smoking all these years was a waste of time, because this post gave me cancer anyway.

Yes, it has North Korea. And at least we know North Korea exists. *nods*

If someone would like to make a thread for discussing the origins of various cultures and cultural diffusion, please do so but without the racism and trollishness evident in the OP here.

As was pointed out early on, troll-naming, the act of posting purely for the purpose of calling someone else a troll, is an actionable offense in these parts. Some Mods are more lenient than others regarding but do not mistake lack of action for non-enforcement of the rule.

And for whoever claimed to have stolen things from Kiengir, the Land of the Civilized Lords, don't worry, I know who you are. *smiles chillingly*
