As the article implies, this should all be taken with a huge grain of salt until much more definitive evidence is amassed. There is one group of people the Egyptians hated 100 times more that any other, The Hyksos. They were the foreign invades that took control of Egypt and enslaved them for a time during a period of vulnerability. Hyksos translates to shepherd kings, and the only people these could have really been are ancient Arabians and other middle easterners. It seems pretty moronic to think the Ancient Egyptians were black central Africans but it doesnt make too much more sense to say they were middle easterners. 'Closer' than blacks, sure, but any traces of ME dna could easily be from the raping that took place during their conquest and temporary enslavement, which was so brutal they tried erasing any memory of it from history.
