We're about a year away from Progressives claiming that having darker skin is a disability.

???? - wtf??
Are you for rewriting all books that were written before 1864??
this is the kind of lazy-arse thinking that gets us into all kinds of screwed up policies.
Let adults sort thru trivialities and go on about their business - if someone is unable to cope with historical fact, then they need to be put into an asylum. Cannot have insentient bi-peds roaming amongst us.

Egypt is a strange case study, though. Because of the Nile's range, ancient Egyptians ranged from "Nubian" dark to ever so slightly dusky and everything in between. "Black" and "white" as we use them today are almost meaningless in that context.

Black people are now more than ever trying to claim Egyptians during that time were black

Too bad even the Egyptians say this is Barbra Streisand (a little El Rushbo lingo added).

Ephesians?
It’s hard to tell whether Paul and his disciples truly condoned slavery. They mentioned slaves obeying their masters, but I think it was about not rocking the boat so to speak. Do what you gotta do to stay alive because Jesus is about to come very soon during their lifetimes to raise them into heaven in new spiritual bodies.

You sure?
If so, explain the contemporary bias vs. dark skin within our African American population.

I don’t think Caucasian Europeans were documented in the Bible.

Modern scholarship is increasingly rejecting the slavery theory of pyramid construction. Sure, might have been some peripheral heavy labor by some slaves for short bursts at key moments, but the bulk of the construction was likely done by a small cadre of skilled artisans.
