The FACT is this term is largely an afrocentric fabrication based on the argument that it means land of the Black but the FACT remains the people of Egypt in antiquity referred to their country as Misr. As they do today.
Misr is the short form of the Biblical Mizraim.
Reccognizing the Biblical source for the word "kemet" would result in acknowledging that the Hebrews were indeed "Black people" whcih then negates the validity of the arguments posited by metu neter proponents who argue the Hebrews were "foreigners".
If the Hebrews were "foreigners" then "kemet" was a term used by hebrews to describe what was to them a "foreign land". But they did not view themselves as being separate and distinct. At least not racially.
