Up until the conquest by the hyksos the Shekem and shekeenah;the true names for the emperors and emperesss of khemet were black nilotic/saharan. "Pharoah" from "pyra" means white house or fire house or light house; it was the palace of the shekem and shekeenah not their title. The hyksos were an asiatic people who userped the crown of khemet , they were followed by Assyrians , Persians , Greeks and Romans so it is not surprising to find some white or asiatic dna in a "pharoah's" blood. Also khemetians freely mingled with other races and vice versa , especially from syria which was right next door and greece was just a hop over the pond.

Ok I understand now, if the dna testing showed they were black that would be ok, but because it showed they were white that makes it "racist"

Personally I think they should dna test all the pharaonic mummys and publicly publish it to put an end to all this bs

Apart from racists and bigots and ignorant morons, who cares what colour skin the Egyptian Pharoahs or indeed anyone else had?
"the socalled hykosis pharaohs were actually from upper egypt"
"the socalled hykosis pharaohs were actually from upper egypt...asiatics appeared only 1000 years late"
"khemet was the name of the nile provinces before the first pharaoh....then the country got a centralised state, by narmer and aha.. who were from nekhen /abydos..."

We can only go on what is discovered. The fact that the Egyptian wall paintings show the Aristocrats as fair skinned and the dudes with the fans as black. It it probably truthful, that the powerful Egyptian empire captured slaves from, less developed and technologically savy races from further south. The Egyptians also used conquered peoples as slaves...eg the Isralites. At the time, Egypt's close neighbours in the Mediteranian were also technically savy and formidable opponents. The Peoples of Carthage, the Persians, Sumerians, Ancient Greek etc.
Its is not a racist assumption, it is plainly an educated deduction.
One cannot discount that certain "Negro" tribes didnt have sophistication as well. The Exploits of the "Queen of Sheba" (Ethiopia) is well known.
It is also an unfortunate Fact, that many "Caste" systems of certain nations, favour lighter coloured skin, and consider this trait more attractive and heavenly. The nation of India (1.6 Billion people) is the classic example, but this also applies to Oriental people, who seem to consider darker skinned "orientals" as the lower class..
This is not my opinion, but is fact.
Bear in mind that 6000 year old mummys have been found in China, with fair skin and European features. And it was said that the Genghis Khan family had Red Hair.......possibly a legend, who knows.
There is no doubt tho, that Humans turn black in the Sun, to counteract the effects of UV light etc.
Tho some seemed to turn a reddish colour (The America's)
It also seems to be that the "White" genes spread across ancient Europe to Eastern Asia and visa/versa. It appears that the Whites didnt infiltrate dark Africa in ancient times.
