Of course, Egyptians aren't Africans.

However, the crux of the issue for many who are labelled as "Afrocentric", is that no matter
the evidence of the overwhelming Southern nature of the Egyptian dynastic period, modern Egyptology routinely seems to try and portray them as something other than tropically Adapted Africans from the south. So, not only do you have a strong southern component in the 12th dynasty, but also in the 1st to 11th as well. Not withstanding the same things from the 12 to 18th and 18th to 25th and all the way through. The point being that the southern influence in Egypt was consistent and overwhelming throughout the dynastic period, as opposed to the modern portrayals of Egyptologists which seems to suggest they were mostly European looking pale skin peoples with a smidgen of dark brownish people here and there, which is blatantly wrong.

The Egyptians never identified themselves as being like pale Europeans, northern or Southern and they did not consider themselves pale Africans, while they may not also have been as dark as some Sudanese. But that does not make them pale European looking people either, as popular "science" programs on the discovery channel, history channel and the like like to produce. If they were to produce a story on the 12th dynasty, they most probably cast a pale European or maybe pale skinned Northern African as "main" figures of this period, which is consistent with a strict bias towards making ancient Egypt a predominately pale skinned population,closer to Europeans than Africans. No amount of debate can deny that fact.
