[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kimbles: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Antalas: [qb] I strongly disagree with the "it's a minority" "we make fun of them." This is a false impression simply because most people of African descent in the diaspora may not initially show a strong interest in history. However, upon discussing the topic, you'll find that many of them do indeed hold Afrocentric beliefs and theories. Even within the academic field, several black scholars demonstrate clear biases, like SOY Keita or that clown of "Molefi Asante," of whom I recently read an article where he suggests that Septimius Severus was black solely because he hailed from Africa. I couldn't believe this was actually published... Furthermore, I was surprised to learn about the existence of black academies in the US, where the majority of students and teachers are black. Of course and no surprise these institutions tend to teach Afrocentric theories when it comes to history. In my personal experience, particularly online, I've encountered very few black individuals who were not proponents of Afrocentrism. Additionally, in real life, there's a persistent belief among some SSAs that North Africans are seen as Arab invaders. However, I won't blame them because that's how most North Africans identify and how they are viewed by Europeans. [/qb][/QUOTE]Whomp whomp whomp, omg do you ever stop crying about these Afrocentric boogeymen? Nobody cares about wanting to be North African. No one in the African diaspora or on the continent itself claims to be north African, so what are you whining about? Also, how the hell can you be "Afrocentric" when talking about history/genetics that involves AFRICA?? Are North Africans, and you yourself, not African? That makes no damn sense, and yall keep using that buzzword because at this point we know what your types mean when you say it which makes you look stupid. There were black people in North Africa way prior to the AST. And that fact got you seething and foaming at the mouth behind your monitor. Now go and smoke some kief and be happy h0e. [/QB][/QUOTE]
