[QUOTE]Originally posted by Horemheb: [QB] Ausar, i think something else is at work here. I have thought about it a great deal as Dr. Lefkowitz says she has as well. The question is , why this preoccupation with so called 'Eurocentricism' on the part of minorities, especially black minorities. Is is part of the victim mentality that is so prevelant in the United States? Why the 'need' on the part of these people to transform pre Victorian tribal cultures into something other than what they were. To literally 'look for' any justification to butress so call 'Africanism?' Why sacrifice a poosible academic reputation to promote what is nothing more than a political movement. Lets call it what it is. In saying this I am not demeaning the importance of any individual nor their equality before God. Africa is and has been a backward contient. It offers little to the rest of the world that any of us would want to imulate. Until western culture arived with colonialism it was mired in tribalism (for the most part) centures behind most of the western world. No amout of Afrocentricism can change that fact. An American black once told me, "thank God I'm here and got to live in America." Its like mexicans who come to the US from Mexico to get all of the advantages of this culture and then join movements that seek to reestablish the same poverty stricken culture here in America they left. Any African should run from all things African, that equates to poverty and economic retardation. The problem is that in the end Africentricism is a complete waste of time. It will never prevail because most of it is wrong and studied for all the wrong reasons. As you know it has gone so far it is already causing a back lash which will only grow. The greatest creation of Euro-American culture is western academics. That it cares about stealing anything from Africa is absurd, it doesn't have to. In fact, without it there would be no people like Bernal becase we would still be trapped in some by gone era trying to survive. [/QB][/QUOTE]
