[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Some people keep trying to pretend that this is about some kind of "scientific objectivity" when that has nothing to do with anything. Keita tried to avoid certain terms and certain types of language in his papers as if that had absolutely anything to do with how institutions of science and media controlled by Europeans will act and do. They say what they want to say when they want to say it. No amount of begging and pleading is going to stop them. Keita found out avoiding certain terms only applied to HIMSELF and nobody else was following that so-called "standard". Being "objective" and being delusional are two different things. People that think that organizations and institutions like National Geographic are objective but in reality they were founded on the concept of race and racism as were all European institutions of anthropology. The only reason Europeans came to dominate the science of anthropology globally is because of connquest, colonization and subjugation all over the planet. It is delusional to think these people have magically changed when it comes to something like AE. Being TRULY objective is to admit and acknowledge this fact and not HIDE from it and pretend it doesn't affect the present day. [QUOTE] For Decades, Our Coverage Was Racist. To Rise Above Our Past, We Must Acknowledge It We asked a preeminent historian to investigate our coverage of people of color in the U.S. and abroad. Here’s what he found. [/QUOTE] https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/04/from-the-editor-race-racism-history/ Prior scholars like Dr. Ben and Dr. Clarke and others going even further back didn't promote nonsense like "European institutions of science and anthropology aren't racist". They told the truth and said so openly. They called them the liars that they are. But you got some "new" black folks in science who think by avoiding certain issues and topics that will move the ball forward. And obviously Keita didn't either. [/QB][/QUOTE]
