Thanks for your comment illadelph12, it was my pleasure to post what I wrote. I just get tired of seeing people trying to constantly make African history a mystery, and then say its their history or some ethnic group that's mixed with African/Black/Hamitic due to colonizing, but goes by a name given them by colonizers and who adamantly rejects and denies any connection to true African/Hamitic/black people. You can see things like this all around us in the world today.
Cheshosk, if you were talking about my comment being one that's a riot, or flip flop then I just your manner of response seems typical of someone who would just use humor to take away from the impact of what some stated.
everything I wrote and express can be thoroughly reasoned on, I have never been a flip flop, or ever spoke in riots, and never will. When people want the truth according to them or a fashionable, popular group to be accepted, then they make comments using humor to try and ignore or down play in their mind or among the minds of others around them what some else
Everyone is influenced by history and historians. History involves the past, and the past can not be changed, its gone. The present and future remains to be set in stone. When you have an understanding of the way the world works, and productive brain power, brainwashing by historians directly or in the more subtle forms won't achieve it agenda, it only works on those who have undeveloped use of their minds and allow everything they need to know to be give to them by some one else's mind.

Oh that's a riot, I haven't seen so much flip-floping since the last U.S. presidential election (BOTH OF THEM).And then two people that told me not to trust historians go and listen to this guy who was obviously influenced by historians. 😆
Yeah, how about no?
Hardly flip flopping Creshock.
Not all inhabitants of the Egyptian Empire were black, just as not all inhabitants of the Roman Empire were Anglo or the Mongol Empire were Oriental (they conquered into India as well). Before these empires were founded, they were simply tribes that conquered and gained territory (and people) that eventually became the Egyptian and Roman and Mongolian Empires. It's documented in the Bible to that effect as far as Egypt is concerned. I don't put a lot of faith in historians, but the Bible carries a little more weight, at least for me.
I never said all Egyptians were black, I just agreed with Glimmer's point that before what came to be known as Egypt and the Egyptian Empire was founded, they were a tribe and the descendants of Ham. By the time the Empire came along, and the infrastructure of what is known today as Egypt was built, they were an amalgam of many peoples gained through conquest, so they were no longer simply the descendants of Ham exclusively, but a mix of all peoples gained through the expansion of their territory.
Hey illadelph12, I notice in your one of your posted texts you mention the Bible as a source for the point you made about the Ancient Egyptians. The Bible is the PRIMARY source for all true wisdom and understanding, and its THE primary source for me when it comes to all things historical. Time, earth elements and uncovered archeology further show to eyes and minds that won't believe, that the bible's message is based on truth.
Human beings with ulterior motives for power, riches and fame have purposefully misused the knowledge founded in the scriptures to mislead people, and therefore based on their actions have caused some to doubt and lose interest in God's word, the bible.
Petty human fights over who's worth more and those who wish their traditions to be perceived as more holy and sacred, along with the desire for a few to keep most ignorant for their own personal agendas, has led to criticizing of scriptures with the intend of degrading the Bible. They want the knowledge of man to prevail over the knowledge and wisdom of God in the minds and hearts of mankind.
On the issue of defeating Superman, I think that it would take someone VERY talented in the knowledge and use of their abilities or someone pretty special to actually defeat superman if he's determined not to lose. He's an awesome character, truly a being of extreme power. There are not many heroes at in all of comics who can accomplish this feat.
Exactly Glimmer.
In the Bible it plainly says that Egypt was the land of descendants of a Son of Ham. His name was Mizraim. In fact, Egypt's name back then was Mizraim, and it was also called Kemet. Their closest blood relatives were the Canaanites, who were descendants of Ham's son Canaan, the Phonecians, who were the decendants of Ham's son Phut, and the Kushites (known as Nubians), who were the decendents of of Ham's son Cush. The Bible even refers to 'Egypt' as the "Land of Ham" (Psalm 105:23, 27; 106:22).
The land wasn't called Egypt until they came into contact with the Greeks, who called the land "Aegyptos". Egypt is just an English dirivitive of the Greek term used for Mizraim (or Kemet). Egypt was called Mizraim, after the son of Ham, a son of Noah. In fact, Mizraim was part of the Land of Cush (also known as Nubia), and seceded from Nubia to form their own nation. Cush is known today as Sudan.
Now, Creshock is right in saying that the Egyptian Empire was not wholey Hamitic (descendents of Ham), but that was due to expansion, trade, migration, and conquest. The forebearers of the Nation were black, the citizenry, in the end, simply were not because they were a mixture of all of the people that encompassed or came into contact with the lands under the rule of 'Egypt'.
Also, Caucasians are not Semetic, they're Japethic. Hebrews are/were Semetic, and today we refer to them as Jews, though Judaism is a religion, not a "race", we're all the same race and need to stop with all this divisive bullshit. They are Hebrews, descendents of Shem. Aryans, from India, are/were Japethic, and Caucasians are a direct descendent of them, who are descendents of Japeth, another of Noah's 3 sons. Dravidians (also from India) and Sumerians (from Mesopotamia) are/were Hamitic, descendents of Ham.
All this stems from Noah's Ark and the Great Cataclysm.
We're all descended from Noah, who was the father of and the forebearer of Japeth, Shem, and Ham.
We're all family.
Dysfunctional, but family.
Our family has had a lot of sex over the years, and so we get the diversity we see today.
Sex is good.
Very good.
As for the topic at hand, John Stewart could take Supes being as he knows his weaknesses and has a GL ring.
A competent GL should beat Supes.
