Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

He's telling you how Egyptians who made the pyramids where more african than what and how americans and other nations chosse to portray them.

He describes with pictures how people have changed the appearance of the statues and physical features of the people. And my question is WHY

One comment from youtube was this: It's clear as day the original egyptians were black and later invaded by other races. Look at their fashion, features, and characteristics. You can see it in black people

"White people dont like talking about race "
"I'm not gonna lie to make white people want to be my friend"
"...all in an attempt to be white, and worship whiteness"

I wonder is I made a post and substituted "black", or "blackness", if I would be labeled as a racist in this thread. Racism works both ways, and i really think its sad that in this day and age there is such anger and resentment felt toward a group of people based on the color of there skin.

I am a light skin hispanic. My mother is white, and my father is Taino (the indigineous people of puerto rico)But I guess I will be considered white by people who feel as strogly about this topic as some of you do.

I would bet that my circumstances growing up were as tough as anyone elses in this thread. Killa you grew up with both parents, attended the best private schools, and never had any financial worries...Since I had none of that, as a "white" person, why should i sympathize with your experience at all? Why should I feel sympathy for any black, brown, or white person? If I was able to work, to pay my own way through college, and to find a career, then why cant any black person do the same?

Pople who argue about these things, about how black, brown, or whatever minority fail to see the true nature of this country. It is not the color of your skin that determines your success, but rather MONEY.

No thats not what im saying. People born into wealthy families is a better indicator of "success" than race. So right back to you
