[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jari-Ankhamun: [qb] LOL, its really sad. I mean is it not obvious?? The programming is beyond "hating" Africa it is about Identifing Africa with certain Images. [IMG]http://www.enviroed.co.za/images/traditional%20zulu.JPG[/IMG][/qb][/QUOTE]Of course there [i]are[/i] losers like the trolls who cause havoc in this forum that definitely have a hatred for Africans. Perhaps because there are black Africans that are (obviously) smarter than them that have higher paying jobs and better lives. Who knows? :o However, one must make a distinction between demeaning and "hating". The problem mostly lies in the former. A perfect example, one does not need to hate their dog to think one is better than his dog. This is the very basis of racism and racial supremacy. Africans have been demeaned for far too long, but such was the result of a Euro-imperialist propaganda of conquest, but the propaganda still remains! And yes the integral feature of propaganda are images. [URL=http://www.suppressedhistories.net/articles/racism_history.html]THE POWER OF IMAGES[/URL] [i] Hollywood tomtoms beat as fake Indians jump up and down, uttering brainless cries and grunts. There's the "squaw" complex in literature and cinema, the faithful Indian sidekick, and Robinson Crusoe's "Man Friday." John Wayne as the Western movie hero, saying: "There's humans and then there's Comanches." Or in real life, the actor tried to justify the settler theft of Indian countries: "There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves." Tarzan goes up against witch doctors and eye-rolling African chiefs. The Caribbean is shown as full of fearful, superstitious natives and zombies, Arabs who have nothing to do all day but loll around in harems, or cheat the white hero. Seductive Suzie Wongs, thieving Mexicans, and shiftless and sexually insatiable African-Americans. Movies commonly depict the Chinese as obsequious and deceitful, Arabs as treacherous, Africans as ignorant and barbaric.[/i] [QUOTE][qb]It never fails that people will always use the Zulu's and say why are African Americans not proud of the zulu people instead of Eyptians when in reality they are a double standard.[/qb][/QUOTE]Of course! These same Eurocentrics will always be prideful of the Greeks and Romans whose heritages they claim but [i]never[/i] the Celts or Vikings they actually descend from. Why? Because the Greeks and Romans called them 'barbarians'? And now they do the same with Africans, actually worse-- insinuate that Africans are "savages". [QUOTE][qb]They use the Zulu do the "Strawhut" nonsense and the clothing of the Zulu as if they represent Africans, also images of Ethiopians with mouth peices is also used.[/qb][/QUOTE]Yes. I've heard worse-- that all Africans are somehow hunter-gatherers who speak click languages like the Khoisan when in fact Khoisan peoples represent a very [i]tiny[/i] fraction of African cultures! This is like saying all Europeans all live in twig huts or deerskin tents while herding reindeer and fishing and sing Native American-like jok songs the way the indigenous Saami of Scandinavia do! Actually its worse, because Africa is much more vast and culturally diverse than Europe is, yet they dare make ridiculous generalizations about Africans! [QUOTE][qb]The Eurocentist will claim that they admire the Zulus and that afrocentist West African descnded A.A are ashamed due to their "Primitive" looks.[/qb][/QUOTE][b]LOL[/b] admire the Zulus?! Why? Because they kicked British-ass in the Battle of Isandlwana armed only with spears and swords while the British had muskets and canons?? Is this why the U.S. military would include the term 'Zulu' in their radio transmission speeches i.e. "Zulu, tango, bravo"? Yet we see they would name their ships and aircrafts with names from Greek or Roman mythology and not Celtic, Germanic, and [i]definitely[/i] not Zulu! [b]LOL[/b] [QUOTE][qb] However the fact is that Africans come in all shapes, sizes and looks and the best representation of A.A are WEST AFRICANS who are Culturally NOTHING LIKE ZULUs or FACE PLATED AFRICANS. Its all about double standards.[/qb][/QUOTE]Of course. Now one problem is that too many people are ignorant about African cultures let alone history, but I can't help the feeling that some know better but chose to repeat the same nonsense anyway. And then there are those who [i]want[/i] remain ignorant don't want to learn anything. For instance the trolls ruining this forum. [QUOTE][qb]I have seen on Mathilda's blog where she claims afrocentrists "Doctor" images, yet she post ONE IMAGE and CLAIMS she has seen more but FAILS to post these other DOCTORED IMAGES. then she says the Bust of King Tut was Darkened over time??? without any proof. Also she relies heavily on Cranio studies and Caucasian and Negorid terminology, she has no credit and how and why people take her serious is beyond me.. http://encyclopedia.jrank.org/articles/pages/6098/Cranial-Index.html Once Mathilda's Cranio studies are taken in to the light they should be her blog turns into ramblings of a misinformed idiot. LOL, all he Crocodile tears about Afrocentris Calling her names and sending her Hate Mail, is so grossly over exaggerated..lol. Before she had a censoring of her thread no more than a few Afrocentic comments were posted most were Neo Nazi racist ramblings that she failed to delete at first until a poster called he out on her double Standard and her lying and squirms to present herself as balanced. [/qb][/QUOTE]Well I don't concern myself too much with a blog run by a frustrated housewife from the UK who takes up anthropology as a hobby but distorts its information when it disagrees with her racist predilections. Perhaps she's frustrated that her husband is shagging around while she sits at home and waits for their welfare check, or that she has nothing better for her time since she like many native UK women don't have children while black and brown foreign immigrants do. Who knows? :o [/QB][/QUOTE]
