Hollow controversy. Everybody get off their "high-moral" horse and get to know (that's lay-person slang for "study" or "learn about") someone who allegedly contributed significantly to the Egyptian empire, and/or at least contributed significantly for folks in our region/era to actually get off our asses and pay attention to this region/timeline/culture. What is this: the "stepford wives" of Egyptian history?
Actually, in a culture where whiteness is seen as a baseline and where blackness and all things African have been relegated to the realms of shadow (vide Conrad's oft cited summary of Africa: "The horror. the horror"), this controversy is anything but "hollow."
Were that we lived in a nation where race matters didn't matter.
peridyd, I believe we're saying the same thing (although I must not have articulated it clearly). I titled it hollow controversy because my point was that we should be paying attention to the calibre of the human, rather than the race or color of the human.
