[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: Rasol I wish we could separate the history of the Middle East from race,[/QUOTE]We don't need to separate -history- of -middle east- from -race- We need to separate -fact- from -fiction-. For example -> the *middle east* is a fictious historical entity. It is invented by the British, with the esoteric geopolitical purpose of preventing Iran from claiming the rights to it's own oil. It is meant to describe and legitimize a zone of European political influence. Before the British invented this term in the early 20th century - there is no reference to the *middle east* anywhere in the world. Nor is there and equivalent term, or conception. The term is completely non-native, unnatural, and superimosed upon non European people for the primary purposes of sublimating there native identities and interest. Like the middle east - *race* is also false, and pseudo-scientific construct of Eurocentrists. Therefore, to speak of the 'racial history of the middle east' is to surrender to Eurocentric brainwashing. It is a discourse rooted in nonsense, and bounded by the constructs of Eurocentric racists. The consequence of Africanists scholars who repeat this conception is to serve the interest of Eurocentrist. As long as we remained 'pinned down' discussing the world in terms of a Eurocentric ideology of 'race' and 'middle east', then Eurocentrist prevail because they keep the conversation stalemated. A stalemate always serves the interest of protectors of the status quo. Remember this, the next time you claim King Tut is a Negro because he has prognathism, and Eurocentrist laugh and counter that he is a Caucasian because he has a high nasal bridge. [both features are also found in the statues you posted] You can't win and argument in the context of a nonsensical dialectic that was designed -by your opponent- to begin with. The very act of repeating after their racial dialectic, which is based on their root assumptions, is to be defeated by it. I actually suspect that you are beginning to see this, Dr. Winters. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
