  1. You don’t need to be named after your continent. Indians and Russians are in Asia but don’t call themselves Asians. Canadians and Mexicans are in North America but don’t call themselves Americans. Each continent can have variety of cultures not only one. Africa have Egyptians, Sudanese, Ethiopians, Somalis ;etc. Each has its own unique history but all are equal and wonderful .

  2. What is happening is heartbreaking because both African Americans and Egyptians suffered a lot. The American Afrocentric movement created this problem. It wants to give pride to African Americans which is a noble cause but chose to falsify and hijack other peoples history and call them non native invaders. There is no problem with African American who want to be part of the Egyptian civilization. And some do root back to Egyptians. Egyptians are proud of Michael Jackson and Somalian super model Eman who played an Egyptian queen. And they are proud if Will smith would claim that he’s one of them. They have a problem with the Afrocentric movement narrative which wants to exclude them from their own history and call them invaders . Were all the Egyptians killed? Racist movements like black Israelites and Nation of Islam would act aggressively and endanger non black Egyptians safety. This is why there is a push back to this misinformation. Jada smith herself admits that her mom was not welcoming to white people. The Netflix documentary lied about the history of cleopatra who was of Macedonian ancestry and even changed the costumes and hair style of ancient Egyptians. Egyptians say we have all shades of colors and many civilizations mixed with us but the Afrocentric movement wants them to be only black. Some Afrocentric fans even begin to target Arabs though Arab never claimed cleopatra is an Arab or to build the pyramids . Just like the Romans & Greeks Arabs went to Egypt and Sudan who adopted the Arabic language . But both countries kept their own native people and unique history. Somalia also is part of the Arab league yet they have different culture and features than the Egyptians and Sudanese. Egyptians find it double standards that blue eyes Tyra Banks and Vanessa Williams are considered black while non black Egyptians are called non Egyptian invaders. We are all from Adam and Adam was from the soil of the earth. No one is better than another except for his closeness to God and his good deeds. Civilizations have the good and the bad. One of the worst people in hellfire is the pharaoh in Moses story. While the greatest of people who should be our role models are the prophets of God and most of them lived a very humble life. Find out the story of Bilal bin Rabah a prophet companion who is considered a high rank and a role model to Muslims . Also Ethiopian king Nagashi who was a just powerful king. People also look up to Malcom x and his visit to Mecca which changed his views against racism.
