[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] [QUOTE][b]I don't know if white "Afrocentric" writers like him would enjoy the same popularity today, however. My own experience has shown that being white and sympathetic to African Egypt, far from conferring onto me an aura of automatic credibility, has led to people questioning my motives. I've had a (liberal) white woman accuse me of taking my position to impress black women, along with several alt-righters calling me a "cuck" (it basically means "sellout" or "traitor" to them). I understand Sally Ann-Ashton has reporting receiving similar flack for holding her position.[/b][/QUOTE]That's why the term "Afrocentric" is problematic. It gives license to rank Eurocentrism. Just the objective facts are enough. Anthropologists who argue in favor of the OOA hypothesis are certainly not being Afrocentric. The way to confront Eurocentrism is not with the term "Afrocentrism" but simply with objective facts. For example, terms such as Sub-Saharan Africa are obviously Eurocentric because it's based on the false assumption that Africans did not only populate the whole continent but also other parts of the world. The same holds for the European colonial terms such as Near East, Middle East and Far East. What have the Chinese said about such? Back to the Ancient Egyptian issue. What could a Eurocentric author say about the following? https://www.google.com/search?q=amarna+princesses+images&client=firefox-b-1&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwik7Y63ga7ZAhUlxVkKHc0LBxQQ7AkISg& biw=1067&bih=489 [URL=https://www.google.com/search?q=ancient+egyptian+panel+of+races&client=firefox-b-1&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwij99v7ga7ZAhWQzlkKHTgyBtwQ7AkINA&biw=1067&bih=489#imgrc=wXzJZB2h9qXiHM:]https://www.google.com/search?q=ancient+egyptian+panel+of+races&client=firefox-b-1&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwij99v7ga7ZAhWQzlkKHTgyBtwQ7AkINA&biw=1067&bih=489#imgr c=wXzJZB2h9qXiHM:[/URL] https://www.google.com/search?q=ancient+egyptian+combs+images&client=firefox-b-1&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi0kKS9gq7ZAhUBzlkKHUSoB5sQ7AkISg&biw=1067&bih=489 [/QB][/QUOTE]
