[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: LOL You do realize that technically speaking 'Semite' is a linguistic group the same way 'Latino' or 'Hispanic'[/QUOTE]There you have it. Notice that Obenga uses the same fallacy. Its interesting to note that Obenga's material has extra appeal to those who are already susceptible to this fallacy. I've always suspected that Obenga and a large part of his following are secretly letting 'race' become a factor to the issue of whether the Berber and Semitic languages are related to Cushitic and Egyptian. Obenga's & Amun's fallacy reminds me of the resistance in some early Eurocentric quarters to incorporate the Chadic family in Afrasian, because many Chadic speakers are darker skinned, and not particularly close in phenotype to the average Afrasan speaker to the East. Obenga is doing the EXACT same thing to Berber and Semitic, only difference is he's using a mirror opposite pseudo-scientific ideology. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes and unfortunately Diop despite his brilliant accuracy in other things made the same error when he tried to dissociate Berber from Egyptian and other Afrisian languages as 'European' despite Berber languages being exclusive to Africa. Even Clyde Winters takes it to the next level where he dismisses Berber as Eurasian yet includes Dravidian as African. :eek: :rolleyes: These guys are obviously consumed with racialism. [/QB][/QUOTE]
