(self.offmychest) ago by gottagetthisoff to r/offmychest search 450 Submit a new link Not everything is black and white in this world. As a modern-day Egyptian, I am tired of black people claiming Ancient Egypt as a black civilization and I am offended by the new Nefertiti statue that was developed by white people. Yes, Egypt is in Africa, but no it is not black. Yes, Egypt is in the Mediterranean, but it isn't white either. Yes, there are dark skinned Egyptians (my best friend is part Nubian) and there are very light-skinned Egyptians (my grandmother has blonde hair and blue eyes). I, along with the majority of other Egyptians are in the middle with olive-tan skin, but that's not the point. Race goes deeper than one's skin color. The point is the people of Egypt today have always existed there and it's just frustrating to see black and white people fight over our history when it belongs to neither of them Submit a new text post offmychest 447270 readers O 1048 users here now Enable custom subreddit styles There is a lot of controversy revolving around this and I feel like it's hypocritical that this is becoming a white vs black thing and Egyptians are excluded from the conversation My history is literally written on the walls and buried in the ground of my country. If you look at the paintings and hieroglyphics in ancient tombs, you can clearly see that the majority of the people depicted are not black or white, but a coppery golden color completely separate from the other two We are our own people and by claiming Ancient Egypt as theirs, black and white people are erasing my history his is the place to unload that baggage that's been weighing you down for days, weeks, months, or years. This is to relieve the pit in your stomach that won't go away, not for the angry rant you could spew at anyone. When you need to make a post for yourself, not necessarily for advice, or to answer questions, but to get it off your chest, we'll be here to listen and, if you want, to talk.

Unsolicited advice will be removed from these posts ogasha An old friend of mine, who was born in Egypt and emigrated to the US, had the same sentiment and was very frustrated by both sides. He was often mistaken as being black or mixed, and was very passionate about his culture and history. As you say, he looked just like if a heiroglyph walked off of the wall and started talking I think the only time he was pleased with Egyptian representation was when he watched 'The Prince Of Egypt'. solicited advice will be removed if the OP adds the NAW flair.

You seem to be under the impression that there are other jobs these people can and should be moving into but there aren't. Every new industry being created today employs less than the industry's they are killing. Automation used to replace menial repetitive tasks but now machines are getting better at thinking than us as well A study found tat 47% of jobs in the US are in the high risk category of being automated within 2 decades. Not planning for this is monumentally stupid because I guarentee you half the population will not starve to death quietly There will be violence and the position of "lol should of been a STEM major" is going to look real silly when the heads start to roll permalink embed save parent report reply [-] Should-have-listened 42 points 1 day ago should of Did you mean should've?

(self.history) 10 submitted 14 hours ago by FoolsGhold 35 comments share save hide give gold report crosspost Was slavery a big part of the past? Im talking basically since the beginning of man. I know Egypt had slaves. However we all know very well that africans where enslaved in the past. And I feel that everyone has this notion of only white people where enslavers. And that only blacks are slaves. Im just looking for evidence to defeat that argument. [-] TomThomas 1 point 13 hours ago Up until the 1800s, a mere 200 odd years ago, every country in the world had slavery. Every one America and the Commonwealth were among some of the first to abolish it. Many Arab and African countries practiced slavery well into the 1900s Of course, the segregation and Jim Crow stuff lasted well into the 1900s too, but this was also true of many areas in the Commonwealth as well - Canada, Australia, and of course South Africa Anyone that tells you "white people", or even Americans, are the worst historical offenders when it comes to slavery is just playing politics permalink embed save edit disable inbox replies delete You've been banned from participating in r/history subreddit message via /r/history [M] sent 10 hours ago You have been banned from participating in r/history.
