Egypt is a country, so Egyptians can be of any race: Mongoloid, Ne9roid or Caucasoid. What race most Egyptians are at the moment would have to be determined by observation.
Based on what little I know about Egypt, most are non-white Caucasians. But there are also Ne9roids there, as well as people of mixed race - which many of the non-white Caucasians are.
In a century or two the racial mix could be different, assuming Egypt still exists then.
By the way, "white" and "black" are technically not races. And I can't help but wonder what difference the "truth" would make to you, should you ever get it!

There is a range of diversity in colour of Egyptian people. They are considered African but not black, even the native Egyptians who are not black accept this too. But as I said, Egypt is diverse, you'll find tanned, golden brown, brown, dark brown, black and white Egyptian people.

The indigenous Egyptians are Black Hamites most Arabs today are mixed from Turkish Muslims from Ottoman Empire. Read the history of Muhammad Pasha and Mahmud II's conquest in the Middle East. Semitic is part of Afro Asiatic language which is Black not Indo European. Original West Asians are Black-Hamites most are just mixed in. Those original Black Arabs and Nordic Turks live in isolation and have very little to do with what's going on in the Middle East. Modern day Arabs are Mulattos to the Turkish Mamluk soldiers and Hamites that's it just like modern day Latinos are a combination of Spanish and Native American and are called Mestizos.

The original Ancient Egyptians as opposed to many modern Egyptians were White, and you can contrast them to the Black Pharoahs whom you can see a documentary on called "Rise of the Black Pharoahs" from Nubia or Cush. The Black Pharoahs came from Meroe and there was a Meroitic civilisation south of Egypt that built pyramids of a more acute angle than those in Egypt, who invaded at one point and temporarily ruled in Egypt. The White race that the Pharoahs came from was actually not Aryan, however, but from Ruwenzori the source of the White Nile (the source of the Blue Nile is Lake Tana in Ethiopia) and they came from the Pygmy race, a pure race which carries the potential for either a White race or Black race within itself. Pygmies, at least pure pygmies, carry genes for blue eyes and both white or black skin in the most complex genetic makeup on the planet, which you can read about in Hallet's "Pygmy Kitabu" (1977).

White tribes in Africa lol this sounds like science fiction. Egyptians, They spoke a native African Afrasian language, they depicted themselves as such, their deities such as Bes is similar to other African gods such as the Child of Obatala in Yoruba tradition, Africans and African-influenced populations are more likely to carry genes related to 18th dynasty royalty, the Nilotic Nabta Playa Stone circle in the Sahara that roots to predynastic Egypt proves so, and finally my favorite one... Ramses III was E1b1a. Deal with it Arabs and denying white people. also there are pyramids all over Africa but very few if any in Europe or the middle East and Asia !!
you can't look at Americans today and say oh well G the natives of America must have been all whites LMAO
This is the logic white people use when thinking of the race of the Ancient Egyptians in Africa they look at a modern picture and say well G they don't look black hahahahaha I think they do that to make blacks angry lol . They look at a modern pic of some Arabs mixed with different tribes of Egypt and blacks and say well they don't look black jajjajaaja Egypt is in AFRICA here is my teacher at wku he is a native Egyptian from a native tribe that was there long before Arabs evaded email him and ask him your question he is in the modern language department !

According to DNA analysis of Ancient Egyptian mummies. Ramses III and son were E1b1a, the most common haplogroup in Africa and among African-Americans (BMJ study). While the autosomal ancient DNA from the 18th and 20th Royal family (from the BMJ and JAMA study) analyzed by DNA Tribes relate them to African populations in the Great Lakes, Southern and West Africans more than any other world populations.

I am white and I don't say Egyptians are white. They were/are not white, nor were/are they black.
Most Egyptians are typical North African people which are tan/light brown and have features closer to white people or Arabs (because they are in the same larger racial category called Caucasoids) than to blacks. There are white and black Egyptians and have been for millennia also.
Here are a lot of Egyptians. They're clearly not black or white, but there are white and black Egyptians.

Neither black or white. Look at the hieroglyphics, most of them are somewhere between tan and medium-brown. There are some black ones and white ones here and there probably depicting Nubians and light-skinned middle-easterners and north-africans.

The Egyptians of today are Semites.

Why not ask Egyptians this question? DNA confirms they are the descendants of ancient Egyptians. Nothing has changed them. The only significant difference is now they are largely Muslims instead of worshipping pagan gods & goddesses.
Egyptians are Arabs who are a Semitic group originating from the Western part of Asia AKA Middle East. The Semitics are an offset of the Caucasian race. The Caucasian race includes Europe, West Asia, Central Asia and Southern Asia, including North Africa and parts of Horn of Africa.

OOOh **** boy! YOu just opened a can of big trouble.... All I'll say is... look at the statuary which goes back to the beginning dynasties... They were long nosed Caucasians from the start... Djoser, etc. Straight up straight nosed white man- I'd say brown man, but they weren't hooked nosed then, they were straight nosed back then- modern day Europeon.
Just look at the statuary and other artwork to find out for yourself.
Blacks ruled for a few generations around 700-800 BC but that's all that can be proven.
Pre-dynastic Egypt ( prior to 3000 BC) may be up in the air but I'm out of references now........
People can say what they want, but what do the statues say?

You are confusing race with color, Egyptians are Arabs (race), and they are various colors.

Let's end this! It will be more believable for them to be black than white! Whites can't even stay in the sun for long.

Ancient Egyptians are black. Why do you think all of the noses on Egyptian statues are broken off? to hide the fact that they were black.
