[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [qb] I agree with zaharan's suggestion that modern Egyptians' reluctance to embrace a Black African origin for their country's pre-Islamic civilization is one of the major obstacles to our case that's still in place. Even in the case of more progressive Egyptologists, you still have to take into account that Arabs are still one of those "people of color" who suffer from discrimination in the Western world, especially after 9/11. Whichever position you take on the issue, someone is going to perceive you as stepping on a marginalized racial group's toes. In addition to those pressures, along with the good ol' anti-black racism that I'm sure still influences certain Western Egyptologists' opinions, I sense that the discipline as a whole has grown defensive towards views that they perceive as unorthodox or outside mainstream consensus. And you can't completely fault them for that. We all know that the larger subject of ancient Egypt attracts all manner of quackery and pseudo-scholarship that makes our position seem mild by comparison ([i]Ancient Aliens[/i], anyone?). If your discipline gets bombarded by genuine woo on a constant basis, you'll probably build your wall so strong that it ends up blocking out even the most harmless outside-the-box perspectives. And let's not pretend like our side of the debate doesn't have its own dirty laundry to clean up. If anything, the straight-out black supremacists, hyper-diffusionists like Clyde Winters, and pan-Africanists who exaggerate Black African people's cultural and physical homogeneity are our loudest and most aggressive bedfellows, at least if Internet experience is anything to go by. For all their extremist zealotry, they've done more harm than good to our cause by reinforcing its "fringe" appearance. [/qb][/QUOTE]what have I exaggerated?Nothing. There is nothing fringe about what I write. In fact much of my work appears in peer reviewed journals. Granted I don't publish in PLoS and etc., because you have to pay between $2-3000 per article, but my work is peer reviewed by other scientists. Everything I write about I support with archaeological and or linguistic evidence. You're full of bs. If I was writing falsehood don't you think academics would publically attack me? They don't because I might find a way to comment on what ever they write. Your problem is that you don't have the literature base to understand what I write about. Even though what I write about is easy to understand your white supremist mind you can't handle the truth.Yea I said it, you are a false flag liberal pretending you seriously want to know the truth, when in reality you want to maintain the status quo. .
