(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.

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.
