[/qb][/QUOTE]Clyde Winters style Afrocentrism, not Molefi Asante Afrocentrism [/qb][/QUOTE]Most of Clyde Winters's claims (e.g. Mande Olmecs) were always far removed from reality and rejected by mainstream scholarship, not merely obsolete. I do think it is high time his brand of pseudo-history get discarded and lose credibility among the public, but unfortunately bullshit claims like his have a tendency to hold onto popularity if they have enough emotional appeal to their believers. That's also why Graham Hancock's nonsense about an advanced Pleistocene "Atlantis"-style civilization has managed to get itself broadcasted in a recent Netflix documentary series and the History Channel's "Ancient Aliens" is still going strong after over a decade. Why, you even have people on YouTube claiming the Earth is flat despite the ancient Greeks having debunked that more than two millennia ago. [/qb][/QUOTE]In addition to that, most of the claims and theories from Eurocentrists have been debunked by genetics and archaeology, we got to remember most of Eurocentrism was centered around colonialism and trying to justify it.
