[QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [QB] Honestly the Afrocentrics are getting what comes to them, folks like Keita were warning fools 10 yrs ago, and they did'nt listen. Obsession with Historical figures and cultures simply because they involve Europeans or Western Culture has always been the achilles heel of Afrocentrism. The Moors, Hebrews, and even black Olmecs etc. Slop plain and simple... Granted I doubt the producer of the "Black Cleopatra" documantary was Afrocentric but really a black Cleopatra...smh. Just plain Sloppy and trivial. The Kandace Queens of Merowe did way more for African people than Cleo did but because Cleo is Greek, clowns obsess over her. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Askia_The_Great: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Elmaestro: Aside from the bias, I personally believe there is some politics involved. Take it as an anecdote as I can't say anything about it now. But we've likely arrived past a tipping point in which it'd take decades to fix. The Cleopatra thing was pretty much the nail in the coffin as far as public perception goes. And there's a certain idea being pushed to where North West Africans and East Africans will become residual. [b]Afrocentrism takes a lot of public heat but as far as influence goes it's merely a niche.[/b] I can't fully explain how the criticisms became more influential than the "movement" but that where we are. [/QUOTE]If anything Afrocentricism(or hoteps) gets clowned/made of by other Black people in the Black community. Yet, non-Black Americans(mainly the non-Black ones) think its some huge force in the Black community. Yea you'll have some Black Americans who will be like, [i]"mAn... eGyPt iS iN aFrIkA! hOw cAnT tHe aNciEnTs bE bLaCk!?"[/i] but outside of that most keep it moving and don't even care about the deep stuff most Afrocentrics talk about.
