[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we just get collective agreement here that “Pharaoh” is not the name of one guy who persecuted Jews? It’s literally a title, like King or Czar. There were hundreds of them. It is beyond a stretch to say that dressing up as an Egyptian monarch is the same as a Nazi.[/quote]

I think that it is a bit disagreeable to tell an AA male that they can't find their super-hero in ancient Egyptian rulers. While the pharaohs weren't exactly black Africans, and no doubt enslaved quite a few, Egypt is technically on the continent of Africa. Who am I to question your hero, especially one that is pretty much a pop figure in today's world. I am guessing he was just "a pharaoh", no name tag with Ramses, Tut etc. [/quote]

A pharaoh is not a superhero.  [/quote]

I think you could make an argument that god like or super human powers were often ascribed to them in their societies, certainly to fictional  pharaohs.[/quote]

Why not dress as Mansa Musa, richest man who ever lived? Or Sundiata, the real “Lion King” whose magical powers rival those of Marvel’s Doctor Strange? Or any of the freedom fighters who liberated colonial Africa from European imperialists. [/quote]
