[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] @King Well, anyone who frequents this site should know by now that whatever the interview's misgivings, on Keita's end, he is consistent about not using terms like "black", "negro", etc...because these are often associated with typological ideas by their advocates that are subjective, and in many cases, scientifically inaccurate. So, that matter is really not making news here. Naturally, "Salsassin" would not ask anything that defeats his dogma, which is why I referred to his interview as [i]dogma[/i]. Unfortunately, Keita allowed himself to be caught up in it; he could have sought to offset Salsassin's dogmatic-leaning by holding his feet to the fire. How? By pressing him on the specifics I noted above about both the claimant(s) and the claim, and pressing him on what he meant by terms like say, "black", as he (Salsassin) understood it. From that point on, he could proceeded to present his take on the word. It has to be remembered, he was confronted with this word in his Cambridge video streaming, wherein again, he refused to use it. However, in one of his earlier writings, he used the word in quotation marks, saying something along the lines of...[paraphrasing here] "[i]that if the word (black) meant so and so,...then yes, there were so and so people who would have been considered "black"[/i]". If memory serves me correctly, he was making that assessment with regards to northern coastal Africans, particularly "Berber"-speaking populations. See, I thought he handled that appropriately at the time, and could have done something similar in this interview, but this would have been contingent on him pressing "Salsassin" on what he understood by the term "black".
