African-Kemet is not a religion! 
If you don’t know the meaning of words, it’s best not to attempt to use those words to make a point.
Do you know what African-Kemet means?
Do you know what Anu means?
African-Kemet is an entirely different thing than African-Kemetic/Anu religions and religious characters.
Yes, you’re right in that respect. I misread that sentence. I still think you might be confused about something.
You posted this definition of proselytize.
proselytize: to try to persuade people to join a religion, cause, or group.
OK,
Now please show me in any of my posts in this thread, where I have attempted in an exact way–to solicit, persuade or advocated for people to “join a religion, cause or group.”
What religion? 
What cause? 
What group ? 
I like your posts.
There is no confusion on my part about this famous gospel song–that ironically is about proselytizing.
A part of the lyrics say:
I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody,
about somebody, who can save anybody.
Ummmmm, anti-religion?

Word for this week 
What does Kemet mean?
http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/dept/ant/egypt/kemet/virtualkemet/faq/
The word ‘Egypt’ is the name that the Ancient Greeks gave to the country and is still used in Europe today. Prior to Europe’s involvement with Egypt, the people of Ancient Egypt had many names for their country such as ‘Ta Mery’ (the beloved land), ‘Ta Sety’ (the land of the bow) which was used for the southern most regions of the country and Nubia (see below). Another name was ‘Kemet’, which means ‘the black land’. All of these names were originally spelt without vowels, so for example Kmt.

Ok, that’s nice and concise. I’ll bet you already made that point somewhere above, but most people missed it because it was embedded in the middle of a lot of copy-and-paste which few bothered to attempt to process.
Now, why the insistence on using the word Kemet rather than the word Egypt? Undoubtedly, Egypt’s current borders and current population differ from Kemet’s, but it seems to me that most people would refer to the land once known as Kemet (TLOKAK) as Ancient Egypt. At least, when communicating with laypeople.

I know what it means to scholars. You like to make up your own meanings to things though.

Insistence? 
Interesting you select to use that word.
Do you have a problem with African-Americans or interested people of other ethnicities–who respect, think it is important, and want to learn and know the history of Africa ?
No I don’t.
However,
In fact, your false claim is–made up.

Well if you ever find out, I’m sure you will let me know. Everyone can learn something from others, especially living on a planet that at times can best be described as a “Ball of Confusion”

And so they fasted for 40 days and for 40 nights. And finally they asked the man at the door, “excuse me, have you seen our waiter?”

You mean “made up history of Africa with no basis in fact”? Tell us again about Egyptian superscience/magic that was used to build the pyramids and how no one could make them today if they wanted to because we lack the technology…
This is leaving aside that, for the most part, Egyptians were not black Africans, especially not in later dynasties, so I’m not sure what Egypt has to do with the descendants of African peoples from the middle parts of Africa. African-Americans are not descended from Egyptians…

While my history knowledge is crap I do seem to recall that the Africans brought over for the slave trade were from the other freaking side of the continent of Africa, which had nothing at all to do with any borders Egypt had.

While my memory’s fuzzy, I recall that while the African slave trade pillaged different parts of Africa at different times, it was virtually all coming from sub-saharan Africa rather than Egypt and other North African territories. Egypt was Ottoman during that period and wouldn’t have been a source for the slave trade to the Americas.
