Black Pharaohs and Reparations
FrontPage
by Richard Poe
LIKE MOST AMERICANS, I am appalled at the prospect of having to pay reparations to blacks. But my reason for being appalled is somewhat different from the mainstream. Having written a book about the relationship between Europe and Africa in ancient times, I have learned that whites might have just as much reason to demand reparations from blacks as the other way around.
My book Black Spark, White Fire points out that the ancient Egyptians were a mixed people, at least partly black, a fact which no anthropologist disputes. According to the one-drop rule favored in America, partly black means black.
