I realize intellectually that the skin color of a civilization's population should not matter, but honestly, I really like it that the ancient Egyptians were black people. One reason is that it enhances their exotic appeal even more. Another is that I like the idea that black people built one of the most sophisticated nations in ancient times, a nation which along with the Mesopotamians laid the foundations for modern civilization.
Is this a racist feeling?

Well since in america race is an integral part of the daily thoughts, then i would say NO, it's perfectly normal in your case.

In terms of pigmentation, the Egyptians would have been intermediate between White Americans and Black Americans.

In terms of pigmentation, milk chocolate seems to have been the mode.
In terms of pigmentation, they some time altered between dark and mil chocolate in their depictions.
It terms of pigmentation i see them in a lighter caramel (golden brown) color (especially women), but often you can either see streaks and patches of the chocolate pain, if not an older non faded version.
When it's not the whether, some times depictions are "cleaned" because they were already old/blotchy.
I'll post a few examples of this later on. If it's @ the TNV site i'll try to remember to link here.

^ Dude, there's no point trying to decide what exact colour a person is, it's an oxymoron. Ancient Egytptians were Blacks which really means they were able to tan *noticeably* (i.e like Africans and Black-Asians tan).
Damn near everybody changes colour based on their environment - and I'm not talking about long-term here I'm talking about a matter of days, especially in the case of so-called "mixed race" folks.
My wife went from a creamy off-white colour to being as Black as the Black-Indians out in Mauritius in a matter of just 2 days laying out in the Sun. Imagine what her colour would be if she lived there??
As far as me, I'm a "milk chocolate" colour at my lightest (i.e when I've been in the UK too long & when I was a child in Nigeria) like the guy on the far right of the pic, and at my darkest I'm literally the colour Black itself (i.e. dark as night) like the 2nd guy from the left.
My wife at her darkest hue, will probably be as dark as I am at my lightest hue.

Libyan, Nubian, Canaanite, Phillistine, Hittite

I disagree. I don't know of any place on earth, which has more than one culture, where "race" isn't an integral part of daily thoughts at some point.

You are right that his "racial types" chart is bogus. Sure there were Nubians, Asiatics etc that Egyptians differentiated themselves from. But as your images above show, dark skin is routine in ancient Egypt. It is not "foreign" but part of the routine mix, just as dark skinned Italians and lighter skinned Swedes are all considered Europeans and not different "races".
Too often hypocritical double standards come into play however when the Nile Valley is involved, with certain people going to great lengths to whitewash Egypt as if all dark-skinned people are "foreign" in comparison to some mythical "light brown" race.
So we have dark-skinned natives in place from Day 1. But even taking the foreigners, of all the foreigners, guess who was the closest according to mainstream Egyptologists?
Posted by Mike111 (Member # 9361) on :
DULL-RAB debunkedd - I understand that bad habits are hard to break, but you have to try. Every time that you say “Arab” (who were and still are, Black people, hidden by the imposters, just like the Egyptians are), instead of the correct word “Turk”, you are playing right into the hands of the liars and deceivers.
Their goal has always been to usurp the identity of the ancient Black people whose country’s they have conquered and now rule, so as to appear legitimate to the world (You will note that none of them can, or will ever allow free elections). Saudi Arabia doesn’t have enough people to conquer Kuwait, yet these people conquered the whole of North Africa, Southern Europe, the Middle-east and parts of India? Come-on use your brain, what Arabs?
These are White people and their mixed-race lackeys, seeking to unify under the bogus banner of Arab, (a local people) and thus legitimize their rule of Black countries – do you really want to help them. Posted by Mike111 (Member # 9361) on :

This is a comedic lie. Many Black Americans would in fact be lighter than most Egyptians! Have you even seen the pigmentation of preserved paintings of ancient Egyptians or even rural non-Arab Egyptians??

Egypt is Multi-cultural there is no point in showing a picture and saying "NON-Arab". You might as will posted "NON-Turk"
My point is just that its dangerous the idea of light skinned Arabs vs. dark skinned Africans

True dat TheAmericanPatriot; Notice these sharp pointy Nordic features.
These are OBVIOUSLY White people - just look at the skin color!!!
And just look at these high Nordic Cheekbones.
The Niggers doctored this one - this couple "Used" to have, pencil thin lips and noses so sharp you could open a tin can with them.
On this one - forget the stone color and those Gorgeous full lips - she's a White woman!
And how about the Tut Facemask, this guy was straight from Sweden - no question about it!
The only problem with Hawass, is that he is one of those degenerate lying Turks (think Dirk8), who are trying to convince the world that they are (Egyptians, Persians, Berbers, Arabs, etc. etc.) take your pick. Don’t you just wish that we could give them a pill to make them stop lying – only ignorant ass-holes are fooled by it anyway (AP?). But he looks honest - doesn't he?

It wasn't the "white blood" my people took in that stopped them from partying (and you're right about that - they just go to church now), it's the "white ideology" like the diarrhea that comes out of your mouth that caused our major problems.
So you see, it's PEOPLE LIKE YOU who were/are the cause of the problems we suffer from in Africa. That, along with the fact that some humans just choose to be stupid.

So I take it you don't count these authentic portraits as evidence of his black appearance, then!!
As for Hawass, we told you all too many times that he's an archaeologist and has no qualifications in anthropology to be making such assertions! His claims are questionable at best and at worst nonsense. Even his collegues oppose him!
