[QUOTE]Originally posted by Triple Stage Darkness: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [qb] [QUOTE]but there is a need to be watchful of individuals who pretend to agree with facts presented here on a daily basis, pertaining to the realities of the Nile Valley and other Africans, and then spew out pseudo-scholarship in the name of solidarity with the truth seekers[/QUOTE]And the sooner forum 'regulars' catch on to this, the better. TSD: I dislike the premise of this entire thread as it basically baits straw arguments, rather than dealing with the real issues. We could be discussing the latest peer review scholarship of Keita or Brace, the latest archeological digs in Egypt, the findings from European geneticists that modern Euro's are not closely related to Neolithic Euro's. Instead, you pull a Lefkowitz and choose to chase "straw-women" issues like "Cleopatra" - who is only known to "history" to begin with due to the distortions of Eurocentric romanticism. I like most of your posts but, thumbs down to this one. [/qb][/QUOTE]I wasn't trying to pull a Lefkowitz here, just wanted to point out that there is bad scholarship amongst some African-centered scholars. These people are often attacked as an excuse to discredit Afrocentrism and its unfair to criticize Afrocentrism as a whole. A few misguided African-centered scholars should not make all of Afrocentrism rotten. Conversely, those scholars of European history should likewise denounce Eurocentrism. Some like Bsil Davidson for example, have denounced Eurocentrism. [/QB][/QUOTE]
