Since you are talking about Egyptian racism with regard to ancient history you have got here Zaki Hawas ( ዛኪ ሓዋስ ) stating that the ancient Egyptian civilization is not black and the Egyptians are neither African ( Negro ) nor Arab. The journalist challenged him to account for the looks of the people of Upper Egypt but Hawas refused to change his position. Hawas has the habit of downplaying the role of black people in the ancient Egyptian civilization with disgust. He is not a real scholar. He doesn't look at the history of his part of the world with open eyes and some doubt. I have followed him for a very long time.

Zaki Hawas is very racist, he would not acknowledge the evidence in his hand and in his own land. I read this stuff and wonder about the Arab slaves among us who want to be more Arab than the Arabs as the Arabs treat them like a shiiit.
To his credit, the Red Sea press publisher, Ato kasahun Checole, was one of the first "Africanists" to publish a great book about this subject decades ago.

The funny thing is that when Western ( mainly the dominant Anglo-saxons ) historians talk about the so-called Western civilization they add the Egyptian,Persian,Indian and Mesopotamian civilizations to the Greek and Roman civilizations to make a complete picture, in their views, without taking into consideration race and geography but they deny you the right to do the same thing with the ancient Egyptian civilization in which there was an important role for black people. Whites feel that they have the sole right to reconstruct the history of the world in general and ancient civilizations in particular.

Yes, there are and they are not who delusional Eurocentrists say they are. They are indigenous Africans and people of the Nile. Egypt is a Nile-Land first and foremost like 10 other African countries.

There is a popular saying regarding Whites among Native Americans as follows. The saying was shared on a popular forum.

The whole purpose of the Pale Face bas been and will always .be to breed out the original inhabitants, create a fixed mixed race (the paler, the better), claim their identiy, steal their legacy and shut out the Natives all races.

Whites call it racial whitening; but it is genocide and theft of history. It has been proven time and time again whenever and wherever Whites invaded lands and later claimed them as their own ancestral lands.

Google search racial whitening in Latin America, Cabinda, Australia etc.

The ancient Egyptian race lives on among rural Fellahin and the Saidi of Upper Egypt. They are the closest to what ancient Egyptians looked like and how they functioned in society. They still follow old customs and practice ancient rituals inherited from the Pharaohs.

More importantly, the Fellahin and the Saidi are the darkest and blackest Egyptians. Eurasian invaders did not care much to mix with the Fellahin, the poor peasants. The Saidi were mostly out of reach as the Eurasian invaders came by the Mediterranean Sea miles away from Upper Egypt.

Last but not least, a founding father of Egyptology Champollion-Figeac wrote that the first tribes that inhabited Egypt that is the Nile Valley between the Syene cataracts and the sea came from Abyssinia to Sennar. the ancient Egyptian race belongs to a race quite similar to the Kennous or Barabras, present inhabitants of Nubia.
