摘要:In this paper, it is of necessity to look at the background information concerning Africa in order to understand thestatement that Egyptians were Negroes. It is of paramount interest to briefly explain the African heritage of history.The author enters this controversy as a proud disciple of Prof. Diop and other distinguished scholars who haverelied on evidence rather than passion in their pursuit for the overall acceptance of their position by the moguls ofWestern academia; the author is inclined to follow this course. It is clear to the author that Western authority, as awhole has conspired to suppress, distort or ignore African history with the intent of perpetuating white supremacyand hegemony and this deeply entrenched practice will not give way to the truth simply because the truth is right,just or supported by solid evidence. Therefore, this paper is not intended as another debate with Western scholarsover whether the ancient Egyptians as a general rule were black. The author’s opinion in this issue has been settledin the affirmative.
