EGYPTIANS WEREN'T BLACK
Get that through your minds, people. It's not a racial thing or a political thing. It's a history thing.
They are North African, a race that doesn't even exist anymore. The closest you can come to who they were are today's north africans.

The Kushites, who were often subjects of the Egyptians, were Nubians and likely black appearing.
They comprised the 25th dynasty of Egypt after conquering and controlling Egypt for a short time (~100 years).
This is likely where the idea of black Pharaohs comes from, though in all probability, only the first couple would have been recognizably "black" by today's standards.
However, even during this time there would have been very few common people who appeared black, as the Egyptians were an incredibly insular society, especially in terms of martial intermingling.

Yes. The Nubians had characteristics now attributed to black people.
Black people calling themselves Nubians is like Columbus calling Native Americans Indians. It's a mistake in history that has been accepted.

The utter stupidity of the negro race is manifest in the statement, "We were the original creators of civilization, but the white man stole it from us." It shows that they equate knowledge to a tangible object. A negro knows that if you steal his bag of crack or his sail foam, he no longer has it, therefore if you steal his civilization, that is gone as well.

I never understood how the idea that they started civilization is supposed to make them feel better. If in 500 years the west is a shithole, and muslims are flying around to other stars, "we wuz presidents" does nothing for me. I would have to say "well shit, looks like we fucked up".

Well, at least it will be easy to pray towards mecca. ...Just point towards that star called sol over there and you've got the general direction.
