Blog Assignment1. First view - read this actual Blog page that seemingly has an "Afrocentric" viewpoint to it.
Think about the following questions: Why does the blogger have this sense of pride about the race of
the earliest Egyptians and Ethiopians? Is the blogger justified to feel this way based on the evidence they
have? What is that "evidence"?
2. Next: Go to the National Geographic's website and watch the 2 video clips about "Race" in Egypt.
Video Clips entitled: Color, Symbolism, and Race and What Genetics Can Tell Us
3. Knowing that the person whose blog page you read first is African American, takes a great deal
of pride in their African history, and feels that the Egyptians and Ethiopians were black, what might
you blog back to the writer of that blog page in light of what we discussed in class (Jan 22, Jan 23)
and the 2 video clips you watched from National Geographic? What information from the clips that you viewed would you point out in your response to the Afrocentric blogger?
