[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]Without the concept of race the lie being taught that the Sumerians were non-Blacks--Gutians-- will exist forever, since text book publishers only publish what they want us to believe.[/QUOTE]I agree 100% that the Sumerians are misrepresented. Indeed, the concept of race, which is itself a misrepresentation of biology is in part culpable for this misrepresentation, and never has been and never will be able to provide resolution. Race in anthropology is a dead end debate, and you actually illustate this with your photos. [IMG]http://www.iraqcd.com/fotos/history/gudea.jpg[/IMG] Advocates of race, can and will argue that this statue is caucasian, while you counter argue that is negro. Such and argument has never progressed beyound shouting across a table. This is one reason why most anthropologist no longer attempt to ascribe pseudo-scientific race classifications to ancient populations. Race, in anthropology, is fatally flawed concept, it is percieved as -necessary- only for those whose thinking caged by European racists of the 17th century, who provided a world view, that some misguided Africanist scholars are still -reacting- to with racialist -counter myths-. Modern African scholars are pursuing a revolutionary [as opposed to reactionary] discourse, which rethinks human history in terms that moot the old-dead-end race arguments. [/QB][/QUOTE]
