[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an Egyptian I’m not offended by anyone dressing as a Pharaoh. I am a little offended by the people who think there was only one pharaoh who enslaved Jews. [/quote] this. as a POC i think the outrage/offense taken is a bit racist/Eurocentric. Because one Pharaoh did something (very) bad, we can't celebrate the achievements of any of them, or one of the most important early cultures (as a pharaoh is a symbol of early Egyptian culture overall)? So a bad act (i know it lasted a long time) against a group of people who are now mostly considered "white" or "western" outweighs thousands of years of achievement of one of the most important/lauded civilizations in the world, that happens to have been a non-western one, and is rather important to many African-Americans?
