[QUOTE]Originally posted by Just call me Jari: [QB] [b]Note that Jari has a point about ''Africa centric'' vs ''black centric'', but most Afro-centrics don't make that distinction. They group ALL black peoples together and applaud their accomplishments as a triumph for the entire ''black race'', which is, among other things, characteristic of Afrocentrism.[/b] I make this distinction because Early Afrocentrics did not claim Diffusionist claims. They Claimed mainly Nubia and the closest to diffusion was Egypt Via Nubia until Diop started the Trend to claim Egypt. However as far as I can tell even Diop was not a Diffusionist "Black-Centric Afrocentrist, as he claimed the Moors were not black etc. Anguish V. Kalonji-Anguish Like me Im sure Kalonji is young, the Earliest he can probably name is Diop. Now I know about some Early African Americans who worked with Nubia but I can't recall their name sorry. Anyway I think that Clyde is pretty much Co-Signing Kalonji if you read what Clyde is claiming then Kalonji is right that afrocentrism is not African centered. [b]Afrocentricity's main concern is seeing Africans (at home and abroad) as active agents in their own affairs and not mere passive objects on the periphery of European and Asian history and movements.[/b] If this is true then Clyde's scholarship is pretty much saying you are a liar. Greece and Mesopotamia is NOT Africa, Hence the name Afro-Centricity is misleading, the name should be BLACK centric if Clyde is correct, as I said there is no unified thought on Afrocentrics, in one hand you have people like Takruri who I consider more Authentic in their apporach to Afrocentrism(Great Jew is the only poster who has deep understanding on Egypt, Nubia, West African, Berber and a few cultures in the Levant) compared to Black Centrics like Clyde who claim Black Vikings and Black Chinese and Black Greeks etc. Both Claim they are the original... It simply comes down to the reactionary origin of Afrocentrism to Eurocentric Dogma.. [/QB][/QUOTE]
