[QUOTE]Originally posted by Quetzalcoatl: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Troll Patrol # Ish Gebor: [qb] []Hum, as I suspected. Anyway, you had plenty of time to rectify your previous biased statements. You complained about Afrocentrism, while Eurocentrism is/ was to the tenth power. As an anthropologist you should know. The first anthropologist were extremely racist, and had biased views. A lot also supported or were part of the eugenics movement. [/qb][/QUOTE]I definitely agree that early anthropologists - probably up to the 1940s and 50s were very racist and some did support eugenics. That is why in my paper I castigate early 20th century Europeans who claimed that a [b]white[/b] race of Egyptians spread civilization all over the world. What painful as a Hispanic is to now see a race of [b]"black Egyptians or Mande[/b] claiming to do the same and quoting the same racist evidence of the early 20th century to support this view. Van Sertima has tons of this stuff. Eurocentrism is not only anti black it is also anti-Native Americans and Mexicans. Most of my time during my career was involved in fighting against Eurocentrism particularly in Science - where it is deeply entrenched. i.e. only European white males can do science, there are no qualified minority scientists, minority scientists are all products of affirmative action, science textbooks only showed pictures of white European males. My efforts were always to get Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans and women to unite and push for reforms. This is why I am a founding member (1973) of the most dynamic and largest Hispanic and Native American Science society ,SACNAS. Look it up. We started with a nucleus of 20 scientists in 1973 and now have over 25,000 members, and friends. [/QB][/QUOTE]
