You've already shown a strong Eurocentric mentality. It would be a waste of time for me to try to educate you. You aren't going to accept any information that conflicts with your Eurocentric views. You have Google at your fingertips. Use it.

Whatever makes you feel better. You're not 100% confident I'm wrong, which is why you keep asking me to prove things. If you thought I was completely nuts you wouldn't even be reading my posts let alone asking me questions.
You've been lied to. Everyone knows if you tell a lie long enough people will take it as true. Get rid of a people's elders, annihilate their culture, replace it with a fraud and then teach it to the youth (who have no elders to tell them differently)? Gold. See: American history.
What do you mean by "black"? If you mean skin color, then I agree since the artwork left behind depicts ancient Egyptians with reddish-brown skin.
The modern group of humans who look most like ancient Egyptians are found near the horn of Africa region (Ethiopia/Somalia/Eritrea). They closely resemble the people depicted in ancient Egyptian artwork.

Yep, most that I know don't show interest in Egypt. Egypt is mainly "claimed" by European researchers, archaeologists, etc. They seem to show more interest in ancient Egypt than any other group, including the native Egyptians who actually live in Egypt.
Says someone who appears ignorant of the West African empires that run circles around Egpyt. Egpyt is revered by people who love what the Europeans tells them is great. Egypt is Europe's crowning glory because it's where their civilization began - not ours.
Meh. Tell it to the crowd who disdains these glorious empires for a place 5000 km away.
You're projecting. Most black people don't give a damn about Egypt. You're showing your ignorance and just making things up based on your biases. As was said by two people before me, blacks who make any mention of Egypt usually do so in relation to Kemet. You all should really start socialing with black people instead of learning about them through media platforms. Expand your life.

Calm down.
Of course it is not a majority of black people. Good grief, nobody thinks that. None the less, there is a minority that does indeed buy into all of this.
Ignorance? I grew up in a majority African-American city. I have been hearing and viewing this belief all my life.
You should save your rage and energy to lecture those who seem to think they descend from Cleopatra.

What does this prove other than you lived in a place that has more black people than white? A white person has the privilege of never having to interact with anyone non-white if they choose. There are white people in Atlanta. How many of them live in black neighborhoods?
You all's logic is hilarious.
