It has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt through genetic research of mummies that the Ancient Egyptians and Europeans share common ancestry especially between them and British people where the correlation is highest (70%). Likely due to Egyptians escaping to Britain when their society was overrun by the other groups which now make up modern day Egyptians who share less than 1% DNA with ancient Egyptians. Some of the DNA from later mummies is of Sub-Saharan African decent reflecting the Nubian conquest of Egypt, but the impact is tiny. Actually there is evidence that when the ancient Egyptians left Egypt they spread all over the world. Native American haplogroups have been found in Egyptian mummies which are common to Europeans and Persians and India as well.
Suffice it to say; this whole "fuck White people" narrative being pushed on us today can't die fast enough.

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.
