[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] ^Funny you should talk about fluff and emotions after showing up here to defend Obenga, while only responding to the most convenient post (which wasn't even directed towards you), and letting the more pertinent posts go unadressed. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] ^ Correct. The problem with Obenga and other Africanist scholars like him is that in their hellbent approach to show commonalities and relations between the various cultures of Africa, especially Egypt, they propose all sorts of 'Pan-African' language phyla. This mentality was betrayed by Clyde Winters when he admitted that the goal is to emulate (my paraphrase) the Indo-European phylum of Europe. Problem is Indo-European does NOT comprise [i]all[/i] the languages of Europe nor is a Pan-African phylum even necessary to demonstrate the various features common the cultures and languages of the African continent. By constructing some false 'Pan-African' phylum, all they are doing is reducing the linguistic and cultural diversity of Africa which is a much larger continent with much older (the oldest) populations. [/qb][/QUOTE]Indeed. We've had our share of revisionist crap here on ES. They were all swearing they were on to something, but their hidden agenda (even Obenga's) is laughably obvious. They're all have an axe to grind and are all motivated by nothing more than petty ethnocentric ego-stroking. Its not enough that various African groups with (imaginary) prestige are African; they have to be part of the exact same lineage as them, so they can feel extra special.
