Doubtless, this Cheikh Anta Diop is a racist historian. His futile attempt to associate a Mediterranean culture with that of sub-Saharan Africa has largely been ridiculed.
Yep. I have read some of his writings. What is called Africa is actually correctly named Alkebulan.
I would disagree with your statement. As I stated, many archeologist that went into Egypt, just refused to accept the fact that a black race of people designed and built the Pyramids, and created Egyptian culture and society. And the fact that Egypt was subjected to many continuous waves of outside invaders, races from non black races, the Persians, Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, French, British, Arabs. The list goes on, and on. And as I stated, many of these European archeologists were just plain white racists, along with many historians, who were just racists to the core. These are people who just tried to white wash Egyptian history down through the ages. It still goes on to this day.!!?? Oh , they must have had help from space aliens, to build those Pyramids.??!!Please give me a break.!!?How could a black race build these structures??!! Just pure white racism, I tell you.!!??Plain and simple. White people still think like that today.!!?? in 2024.!!?? Trust me. its a fact.
The only problem was that Egyptians, while darker than those to their north, were by no means black. Blacks were an insignificant part of the Mediterranean coastal regions.
Egypt is in Africa. The term sub saharan is a white racist term.

The Sahara forms clear geographic divide between parts of the second largest continent. Sparsely populated and very difficult to transverse limited contact and certainly migration between the Mediterranean and sub-Saharan regions of Africa. The Nile formed one conduit and the Arab slave trade another, but neither made the civilizations of the north black.Egypt is in Africa. The term sub saharan is a white racist term.
The term spread as a replacement for racially-tinged phrases ‘Tropical Africa’ and ‘Black Africa’ that were used until around the 1950s, says Columbia University anthropologist Brian Larkin.
The dividing line itself also has some troubling origins in what Larkin calls “racist” colonial theories that thought northern Africa more culturally developed.
“It divides Africa according to white ideas of race, making North Africans white enough to be considered for their glories, but not really white enough,” Tatenda Chinondidyachii Mashanda, a politics and international affairs scholar at Wake Forest University, wrote earlier this year for The African Exponent. “[It] is a way of saying ‘Black Africa’ and talking about black Africans without sounding overtly racist.”

In June of 2023, Firelight team members Tomaida Banda and Ronald Kimambo penned an op-ed for Devex on the importance of language in the development and our collective decision at Firelight to stop using the term “sub-Saharan Africa”. We are delighted to be able to reproduce their opinion here.
When are the mods going to enforce the rules about creating a topic?
Even if some people believe that Negro’s built the pyramids what does that prove ?
It proves the desperation of some to appropriate the accomplishments of others to compensate for the abject lack of their own.
That's because they didn't. The Nubians took over ruling Egypt long after the pyramids were built.
Black Africa is far behind advanced societies in the West and even China and Japan
But blacks did. This is the problem with white racism. It's a mental disorder. Basically it's psychosis.
