Yes, Egypt is in Africa.
However, ancient Egypt consisted of people who possessed a homogeneous African phenotype and those who were admixed with Persian, Arabic, etc. to varying degrees, just as it does today. That gradient was undoubtedly reflected in the appearance of original Hebrews. They were probably black to lightest tan and everything in between, as Egypt is an amalgamation of Africa and the surrounding regions.

Semites, Semitic people or Semitic cultures (from the biblical "Shem", Hebrew: שם) was a term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group who speak or spoke the Semitic languages
Note the area the Semitic languages cover most.
I am, Huggy.
I'm noting that they're not covered too heavily among the regions where most of the Africans were stolen from during the TST.

I don't know about yours, but ancestral worship, divination, and/or animist-oriented religions were the primary spiritual practice of most of my African ancestors prior to imperialism. As I've mentioned, most of them were from the regions of Cameroon, Benin/Togo, and Ghana where colonizers went to great lengths to suppress Vodou and other spiritual beliefs.
I get being annoyed at the nerve of smarmy atheists (some of whom are notably racist) telling you that you shouldn't believe in Christianity because...racism. That shit's laughable and deserves nothing but the middle finger, IMO.
But you're embellishing quite a bit if you're implying that European colonists and slavers found most every African they came across to be already Christian. Or Hebrew.
That's not true.
In the 28th chapter of Deuteronomy, God tells the Hebrews of the curses that would befall them for disobedience, and included in that list was the return to slavery in ships, and interestingly enough this one:
The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee. Deuteronomy 28:36-37
