I have no idea who(Clarence E. Walker) is,but from the little bit I read,he’s a self-hating moron.Next Afrocentrism,focuses on the Africa point of view;there’s always two sides to every story. One other thing,I don’t need or could care less about Egypt.Also for this fool to say that the Egyptians,were anything other than black people in the majority of there existence,shows he’s a moron

She’s so beautiful !!!!! she looks like a doll, so cute !!
But (i know i’ve already said that before) i don’t like the term mulatto at all. I know it presents the persons who are half black half white, but it’s an old term use by the slave masters to discriminate mixed slaves away from black slaves. (“divide for better power”)
Ithink this term is reducing and pejorative, doesn’t it ??
Mulatto come from mule, a sterile animal which is a mixture of a horse and a donkey !!!!
I can’t accept that human beings can be called by an animal’s name !!!!!
