[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundjata: [QB] Interesting conversation. My pet peeve about Keita's style is essentially the same. He isn't explicit even when the implications as they apply, would allow him to be. He'd be more justified in noting the contradictions of where he comes from. He chooses to stay in alignment steer away from that which is ideal scholarship, but not practicality. Most people will not identify with his explanations and merely see him as being elusive (which he is). This is why he has trouble in his last lecture answering direct questions with clear implications. One flaw is that he'd rather use the term "African" with out further exploring what he means by that, when he clearly seeks to establish a commonality/unity between them (noted by his emphasis on the sharing of PN2 derived lineages, despite variations in phenotype). Though excepts from certain works seem to better idenitfy his goal and point. It may be that he associates terms like "black", with simply being an extention and modern-day counter-part of "negro", hence: "[i]Some people have suggested that the terms "Black African" and "Negro" be dropped from the biological lexicon altogether in favor of "Saharo-tropical variant" which subsumes the range of morphologies of great time depth found in Africa'. No serious argument can be made to the position that Egypt was a 'Nilotic-African' culture 'on all levels'.[/i]" ---S.O.Y. Keita Maybe he isn't being elusive but simply changing the paradigm. I have no problem either with the above quote but given that I'm not constrained by the pressures of political correctness, I neither have a problem with the designation of "black" which is a social reality and in the context of tropical adaptation, a biological reality, though obviously relative and far from literal.
