[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] The issue is that any time an African scholar says something that disagrees with the status quo it becomes "Afrocentric" as a way of claiming it is pseudo science, especially when it involves African prehistory and DNA. So it is always subjective as to what equates to "that kind" of Afrocentrism, because at the end of the day, even legit scholars like Diop are called Afrocentrists. And whenever someone brings up "that kind" of Afrocentrism it is suspect because usually no actual names of individual scholars or work they have put out is ever referenced. So it just becomes "anonymous Afrocentric boogeyman" as opposed to any serious scholarship. And it gets worse today because you have fewer serious scholars writing books like Diop and other wrote in the past which could be critiqued. So most people depend on anonymous social media persons to use as an argument for "that kind" of Afrocentrism , but social media is full of all kinds of people saying whatever they want about anything, which is not unique to African history or any other topic.
