Why Do Blacks Romanticize Egypt
One of the things that I learned years ago was this romanticize version of Egypt that doesn't go along with reality. Ever since I started to honor the Egyptian, or Kemetic, gods over seventeen years ago I've seen this vision of Egypt belonging to black people, with black pharaohs, black queens, and a black culture. The Egyptians had no concept of race but modern Egyptians do. And they are nasty with that concept.
If blacks in America thinks that white people are raciest, it's nothing to how a lot of modern Egyptians are about blacks. To them blacks represent the lower part of Africa and are connected to dense jungles, savages, and whatever else they think. One woman actually reported that she had been denied her medication due to the color of her skin. Children are taught this nonsense and they grow up with this nonsense. It's a byproduct of what happens when we infect another culture with our ideas and sometimes the side affects can be damaging.
I think that this is the idea around getting your pants in a twist if someone calls you a African and you live in a country that's in Africa. I also think this is why native Egyptians weren't mad when white people were cast as Egyptian gods. They most likely thought that they were better looking than the black Thoth that was in the movie. I really shake my head as I hear time and time again that Egypt represents the roots of black civilization; not caring that modern Egyptians don't want to hear anything about the so-called 'black civilization' that your envisioning in your mind.
Stop romanticizing a country that thinks that your the lowest of the lows, thinks that your woman spread their legs for any man, and hates the sight of you. You will never be accepted, nor will the people over there stop using the most racist of terms for you. The Egypt that you vision isn't real and never will be real. And that's the cold fact.
