[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] Indeed. I think Keita was kinda hinting at what Diop said about polyvalent teams in his article from the Cobb Research Center. http://www.cobbresearchlab.com/issue-1/2015/1/26/history-and-genetics-in-africa-a-need-for-better-cooperation-between-the-teams COurse there is only so much guys like us on the web can do. But if there is cooperation with the cats coming along in universities, together with the old heads, such teams can be built. A loose network structure can work- no need for monolithic agreement on all points. There is plenty of room for disagreements, but a rough "tactical cooperation" can be put in place that expands the field. That cooperation can also also extend to open-minded white specialists/enthusiasts in the field of which we've seen a few such as Gatto and some others. Even Yurco at one point, was talking about a rough accommodation with Asante. Genuine folk can work their different angles and venues, yet exhibit a generous spirit not automatically geared to tearing one another down. Simple examples- acknowledging points of agreement with someone, giving people credit for a particular piece of work or effort, sharing info, etc etc. None of this requires total agreement. In fact, given the diversity of perspectives, disagreement is to be expected. COurse there are several obstacles to good cooperation- it may never come to pass- and the same folk in the field for years will not be around forever. (1) Hostile Eurocentrics, combining deception and stealth with outright opposition- these include various racists or "hereditarian" types, and associated troll and diversionary tactics we have seen so often. (2) Various "Afro-enthusiasts" who don't do much research, but are quick to jump on "consciousness" or mystic type bandwagons, even as they flood the zone with inaccurate info or untenable claims. A mystic angle is its own creature- the problem is when some folk insist that their mystic claim is the only "true" scholarship or research, an flood the zone accordingly. (3) Various patronizing, condescending and "establishment" types from academia- who while talking a good game bout science and objectivity have their own set of slippery agendas. They too can run "zone flood" games, that will need teams to deconstruct. (4) Various factional leaders afflicted with the HNIC syndrome, or who see their particular ideology or approach as the only "true" way. COurse, these teams could also be built in academia to some extent becoming a mostly college student thing but there is a massive base out there not in college. [/QB][/QUOTE]
