About 60% of the afrocentrism page was devoted to this issue, it was causing too much trouble over there and we/I moved it over here.

Revision as of 18:37, 5 October 2005
It's all yours -- have at it
Things that would be nice to see
- more organization. I gave subject headers a shot, but the paragraphs were intertwined somewhat, making it difficult
- timeline indicating when artifacts were created illustrating black-or-not-blackness in relevance to various egyptian historical events (pyramids built)
- any evidence that egyptians were NOT black. this came from the afrocentrism page so it provides mostly evidence egyptians were black.
- discussion of importance--why are people arguing about this?
- discussion of difficulty in ascertaining race
- names for the different factions. afrocentrists is a much different characterization than just that believing egyptians were black (I'm somewhat in the latter, but wouldn't call myself an afrocentrist). the "other" camp doesn't have a name at this point.
POV fork?

DNA sequence analysis
I've removed the info about DNA sequence analysis. It's uncited -- no scientists/journals named -- and based on content on the users page and the racist undertones seems to be trolling. It posits that Ancient Egyptians were black (usually an afrocentrist statement), but also that they were and "less evolved" and more ape-like than Caucasians (likely race-baiting).
