Just a little history lesson...

The theory about Egyptians being Semites is wrong. Maybe someone was misinformed or confused but that just isn't fact. The Semites are a group of ancient people who lived in the Middle East and North Africa who spoke a Semitic language. The Semites are supposedly descendents of Shem, Noah's son from the bible. The Hebrews were in fact Semites, so that alone shows that Egyptians were not. The Egytians hieroglyphics sp? is a Hammito-Semitic language but they already had this language and culture long before the Semites came somewhere as early as 2500 bc. Actually, the Hammito-Semitic language has its origin in Africa because only there can all of its componets be found.
As far as their being a difference between African and Semitic culture, please explain since many Semites lived in N. Africa and probably came from their. Africa is a diverse continent and it does none of us justice to ASSume that all Africans look or act the same or have the same culture/religion. This is what I felt was implied veiwing several of the post. As far as Cardiac, he was just telling people about his brotherhood and I respect that. IF anyone was misinforming people about yoru respetive fraternities, I think, most of you would have done the same thing. I am not even going to touch on the everything being stolen from Africa theory because I biased. My ancestors were so you know...

IF I have offended anyone I am sorry I only wrote this because I kept hearing there is this big difference between Africans and Semites and I still dont know what that big difference is. Any information I have written can be found at enclyopedia.com

smooches,

bee
