[QUOTE]Originally posted by Antalas: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Askia_The_Great: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: 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]I mean it is what it is. Afrocentrics are a non-factor tbh. Yea I understand that some North Africans see they have to defend their history in what they believe are "culture vultures" but at the end of the day Afrocentrics never had a platform to begin with. Unless you believe a few blogs, books, YouTube videos, etc are a deal breaker. [/qb][/QUOTE]The issue goes far beyond a few YouTube videos. I have previously discussed this phenomenon in a [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=013246]thread[/URL] (that got closed for no reason) , highlighting the recurring instances where North African characters in video games and movies are portrayed by black actors. Moreover, certain museums and universities have been granting platforms to Afrocentrist individuals, allowing them to hold exhibitions and conferences. An example of this is the rapper Akala, who has been given opportunities to present his Afrocentric views in Oxford : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUtAxUQjwB4&t=1s&pp=ygULYWthbGEgZWd5cHQ%3D (3.4 million views...) This is just the beginning mark my words. [/QB][/QUOTE]
