Even if the ancient egyptians understood gravitation to the same degree as newton, they did not write the laws down in a survivable format. The greeks are credited with a large amount of early mathematics because they did and it survived. The muslim empires of the middle ages are likewise credited with algebra and zero because they did and it survived.
There's no racism trying to keep the black man down in this case; if there was evidence they'd be credited. On that note, Ancient Egyptians weren't even black in the American sense (i.e. descended from sub-saharans), they looked closer to meds; greeks and levantene peoples. There are some records of Eritrean, Somali and Ethiopians with a darker skin tone in their art - which is evidence that ancient egyptians were not black as they made that distinction based on skin tone themselves.
The ancient egyptians were extremely accomplished mathematicians and astronomers, but there is no evidence that they had a general rule based on mass, distance and the gravitational constant as netwon did. Without the general rule there is no true understanding, only observations.
