Just like the king of all African jungles Qaddafi , Glenn Beck demonstrated in a presentation a strange connection between our great Pyramid in Giza and some ancient American place called Newark Earthworks in Ohio.
What does this man want to say exactly !!?? Does he now understand in Archeology as well !!?? Does he want to say that the Pyramids were built by Hebrews based on these stones written in that old Hebrew which is actually Phoenician !!?? Not to mention the 10 commandments found in the States !!?? Have not we passed this through modern excavation and discoveries that showed that all our pyramids were built by Egyptians not to mention if we compare dates and measurements you will find it impossible; it is just ridiculous.
Why does not Beck Pasha use what God created in his skull aka brain and thinks outside the box that may be these black broken tablets in Phoenician , the parent language of Hebrew actually came through Phoenician traders or sailors if we are going to speak about crazy theories !!?? Phoenician sailors discovered the Atlantic and you know what by a commission of Egyptian pharaohs they circumnavigated Africa !?? Already professor Mark McMenamin believes the Phoenicians did it and reached to the States based on more solid evidence not hidden in the secret vaults of the American federal government !!?? I think my theory is more logic than Beck’s crazy rants !!!!
I read about theories about Egyptians in Pre-Columbus America before and they are just crazy like what Beck is trying to convince his viewers.
I just wish that Beck meets with the father of all mummies Zahi Hawas , it will be the clash of titans.
When did Qaddafi claim to be the King of all African jungles?
ReplyDeleteHe never claimed such a title.
Did you make that term up?
Associating Africa with jungles is very 19th Century, backward and is what ignoramuses do.
crazy guy haha
ReplyDeletePlease Zeinab Don't give Beck any publicity the man is a roach!
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean we as in Egyptians can lay claims on the US a la Israel style?
ReplyDelete@Africanist: why do you keep on following the blog of someone, whom you clearly do not understand their sense of humor?!!
Oh my, Africa has some amazing and unmatched jungles, if they are disappearing thats a bad sing and not a sign of modernity. If white men used to associate Africa with Jungles in a derogatory manner that doesnt mean that any African needs to feel ashamed. This is the same point about how its has become so taboo to refer to the "N" race or use the "N" word in a proper manner, even though the problem was with those using it in a derogatory manner and not with the race itself or with the term itself.

ReplyDeleteYour site is too nice to post Glenn Beck's BS lies. We refer to him as Mr. 'douche bag'in Canada.
The Canadian.
FYI
ReplyDeleteThe idiot Glenn Beck and the illiterate Palin who can't compose a coherent sentence are organizing a “Restore Honor” rally this Saturday on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC that “will honor the troops, unite the American people (WHITE RACIST REDNECKS)under the principles of integrity and truth, and make a pledge to restore honor within ourselves and our country.”
Mr Beck has chosen to hold his rally on the same steps and same date 47 years ago that Martin Luther King had made his historic “I Have a Dream Speech,” in a city where 95% of the population are black.
Can you imagine the stupidity of this guy and his followers?
THE CANADIAN.
@ anonymous:
ReplyDeleteI follow because it is my prerogative to do so.
Sense of humour?
How on Earth is it funny to replace the title of
'King of Kings of Africa' with 'King of all African jungles' funny?
Egypt has a lot of pick-pockets and beggars yet the conventional common sense of a 5 year old will conclude that it is not nice to refer to people (including collective entities such as countries or continents') using negative connotation.
And you do have some historical perspective!
You know that 'Africa' was collectively likened to the jungle and all its darkness by Western colonisers.
But then again you would, your media took the 'worst' of their racism and thrives on racist humour since the days of Ismail Yaseen and Fuad Almuhandis - and till this day.
Associating Africa with jungles is like associating China with springrolls and the Philippines with migrant workers - it's what people of very low IQ and no class or socio-cultural refinement do.
I suggest you do some reading on
*the racial classification of black Africans and
*on the derogatory vernacular of the slave trade and period when black weren't afforded their full rights in the United States
...before making ignorant connections between the two.
And unless you catch up with the rest of the world and in Africa - the reputation of your country in the continent will always be suspect and you will never be considered as an honest representative of the continent.
In a gallup poll most Africans (myself included) regarded South Africa as being worth of a continental Security Council seat - if and when reform happens.
Oh and the Southern Sudanese will be 'delighted' to know that you love jungles - they're going to leave their just as God created it - not digging up any ground or canals to drain any wetlands to give extra water to...you know who.
If this post is trolling me, it not working. I agree Palin and Beck are not the sharpest tools in the shed. I am not aware of them being RACISTS, though, as the Canadian writes in all caps, as Canadians are wont.
ReplyDelete@Africanist: the difference btw u and me is that I dnt live in the past and I do not let issues that were developed by racists drive me or determine the way I see things related to my country, my region or the continent I belong to. I find nothing wrong with associating Africa with Jungles, it really depends on your mind set and how you use the word. Also, I find it silly when a fact is refused just bec at some point a bunch of racists used it in a particular manner. If you think about it so many ordinary words are and could be used in a derogatory manner depending on how you use them and even they way you vocalize them.
ReplyDeleteFor me, every thing must be read and taken into context. Spring rolls are associated with Asian cusine, Chinese in particular and I never heard any of my Chinese friends complain about it being associated with them.
The problem is not only with those racists who developed derogatory connotations to things that are beautiful, the problem is also with ppl like you who let such actions determine the way they see themselves and every thing around them.
As far as I know you arent from Southern Sudan, so since they will be an independent country, its none of your business how we will handle mutual relations. Also, if you thought for a sec, such canal would also provide agricultural lands for them. Mind your own business and stop being such an Egypt hater. Such a sad insecure soul really.

ReplyDeleteHow do you know which part of Sudan I'm from?
How do you know whether or not I have family from South Sudan?
How do you know whether or not I'm a member of the Sudan Peoples' Liberation Movement?
You don't so stop speculating.
Everything can be surmised by your statement:
Spring rolls are associated with Asian cusine, Chinese in particular
Someone who is so superficial and who deals with generalisms is clearly not equipped to exercise any introspection or critical thought.
Asian cuisine?!
Which part of Asia?
South Asia?
Central Asia?
Your lack of logic is baffling.
The whole world recognises that which is culturally and racially appropriate and that which is culturally and racially demeaning.
People like you were antagonised by the mass reaction by some to your culture post 9-11 - and yet you refuse to not treat others in the way that you do not wish to be treated yourself.
You still have not explained 'how' changing the reference from 'King of Kings of Africa' to 'King of all African jungles' is supposed to be funny.
Which context should that statement have been read in?
Mind our own business with regards to South Sudan?
Can anything be more laughable?!
Of course what happens in South Sudan affects North Sudan, after all we're their most important neighbour and share transboundary petroleum, tribes, migratory species and of course...water.
And we are situated 'upstream' of Egypt and 'midstream' in the Nile Basin as opposed to 'downstream' Egypt.
The international agreement governing construction of the canals is the 1959 Agreement which they do not participate in, and think is inequitable - and so does the Sudanese public.
They have caught up with the rest of the world on the substantive level in their promotion of 'equitable utilisation' as opposed to the long discredited notion of 'historical rights' which Egypt clings to.
They also subscribe to the principle of safeguarding environmental flows - which means they will 'never' drain the Sudd - but develop agriculture elsewhere and many Sudanese academics all over the country and in the North - support them.
Until you get the courage to exercise some introspection and review the norms of your historical and contemporary cultural behaviour towards 'the other' - the indifference of Africans towards you will increase.
Only simpletons see things in emotional shades - the issue is 'respect' or lack thereof - and nothing can change that and it's actually insecure people (with unrealistic delusions of grandeur) who feel the need to put others down in order to make themselves feel good.
The only racist is the one who defends indefensible culturally denigratory acts when they are perpetrated by their compatriots or by their country's media.
ReplyDeleteThis racist then becomes a hypocrite with double-standards when they condemn the same type of culturally denigratory treatment that their sub-group receives - due to geo-political and / or cultural tensions.
@Sudanese couple: I said it before and I repeat it again, two poor souls with a vision confined to the past and hate to others. Enjoy your sad life.

ReplyDeleteWe're more than two and your intellectual engagement and substantive response to the points raised are exemplary (yes I'm being sarcastic).
Many 'contemporary' issues were brought forward but they're obviously too much for you to handle - as for the past we're not the ones who 'live in its glories'.
People who have nothing substantive to say resort to name-calling.
http://harvardmagazine.com/2003/07/who-built-the-pyramids
ReplyDeleteMaybe Glenn Beck should educate himself about who actually built the pyramid. Unlike judo Christian myth, The pyramids where not built by Jewish slaves, but rather normal free Egyptians
@helperF1, I can't watch ten minutes of Glenn Beck or my brain will atrophy. Does he really say Jewish slaves built the pyramids? They were built by normal free Egyptians as you say, voluntarily and well-paid. Many were farmers who had time between the planting and the harvest.
