A. bad, very bad. People claim to want full equality but we only get reverse racism. Everyone should be taught the significance of their heritage and no one group should be emphasized, especially when the only reason is to be "politically correct". End affirmative action. If minorities want to stand on equal ground with Caucasians, let them work to elevate themselves like every white man has to do.

A. I don't think so, because Afrocentrism has more to do with the culture of indigenous Africans than with the non-black people who live there now. They don't live the same lifestyle that is the root of African movements in America.

A. It is in reference to a book. "Hatchepsut: The Female Pharaoh" (Viking), British archaeologist Joyce Tyldesley attempts to bring public attention to one of the strongest and most controversial women of political history...Hatshepsut seems to have muscled her brother aside and seized power for herself. After his death in 1490 B.C., she was regent for his son, Thutmosis III, whom she kept in the shadows for 22 years while she ruled as pharaoh, a male role never usurped by any other Egyptian queen. Her strangely transsexual portraits show her with delicate female breasts and the kilt, headdress and ceremonial beard of a man...

Eurocentrism versus Afrocentrism?
Q. I often find that eurocentric individuals believe that white history is central in human history, that white features are best, and compare every other ethnic group to whites. Afrocentric people are people who actually learn about and focus on African and other black history and the contribution that blacks have made to society. Eurocentrism is not only common in people who live in predominantly white societies but in other people who live in Asia or South Africa. This is not to say that other Africans are unable to be eurocentric but they are generally not exposed to Western media and are not Westernized, which I think plays a big role in becoming eurocentric. Yet afrocentric people are always black. I don't know if I might have the… [cont.]

A. Afrocentrism? Is that what they are using as a counterattack to racism down in the old Belt nowadays? Well, we have had Eurocentrism in so many instances through out history. Hitler and Mussolini in WW II. The Romanovs and many European families basically pushed the Slavic peoples out of the nobility of Russia. Look at how Eurocentric peoples migrated to America and forced the Native Americans off their land. Dare I mention the Eurocentrism of enslaving Africans to work in the cotton fields of the South?

A. First off, there are extremes in any forum. Educated people understand that the extremist ideas do not equal the thoughts and opinions of all. I am a college student, in one of my humanities classes, a factual study was done which indicated that there were ideas and creations that were started in Africa. This doesn't mean that people who know this or talk about it are racist or hate others, it is simply a fact, and it has nothing to do with anyone's love for their culture. A persons' Afrocentricity has no bearing on race relations as a whole. We don't have Afrocentric people going around lynching and murdering other races because they are different, so there should be some relief for you.

Asked by nygiantsfan - Sat Dec 5 15:43:39 2009 - - 5 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Afrocentrism is looking through the lens of understanding African struggle, African people, the African diaspora. It also focuses on highlighting race through Pan-African identity; the idea of uniting all Black/African peoples. It sees that race is more of a relevance of culture, than the biology itself.

Ancient Greeks and Afrocentrism?
Q. Is it true that the Greeks stole or borrowed from African cultures such as the Egyptians? We know that the Phoneticians had a huge influence on the Greeks and were they truly the founders and were black Africans. Was Cleopatra really Macedonian; afro-centrists claim she was black and is there any evidence that reveals that she was Macedonian Greek (such as writings from Egyptians or Caesar)? Is the book "Black Athena" correct and if so are we being lied to? More and more colleges seem to accept these notions and offer Afrocentric history classes. These are becoming really complicated now and it is hard to study history because it's hard to determine what is true and what is false.

A. She was actually a descendant of the Ptolemaic family. Ptolemy was a Macedonian general of Alexander who fell in love with Egypt, the country and the culture. After Alexanders death Ptolemy quickly returned there and took power, declaring himself Pharaoh and beginning the last Egyptian dynasty. Cleopatra was one of many of his descendant named that, her brother/husband was usually named Ptolemy. Greeks were extremely fascinated with Africans, particularly 'black' skinned ones as they seemed foreign and exotic. However you have to realize that the Macedonians believed that the Hellenistic world was the highest level of greatness and they spent far more time trying to make Africa Greek than make Greece Africa.

A. well, for one, not all North Africans carry this haplogroup! In fact, most on male and female lines fall into the group known as Eurasian, with less than 10% subsaharan admixture. Again,amounts vary with regions. By bone structure and dna most,though not all, are caucasoid,and yes you can get fair hair and blue eyes. The Berbers share a mtdna type, V, with people who live in the far north of Europe btw--this came from expansions from Iberia in both directions after the ice age. They are Africans though, I agree with you, NOT Europeans but in the mains they are caucasians.

Why is it racist or afrocentric to claim that black africa had any history?
Q. There is a difference in afrocentrism(claiming north africa and india are black, claiming egypt is black) and claiming black Africa had a history(axum, kenya, niger,nubia,sudan, somalia, and the bantu). I've noticed east asians are not subjected to this. It is often claimed that all of asia is related despite genetic and cultural differences. I have even heard east asians lumped with west asians(who are white). Why is it only a problem when blacks do this? It's clear that genetics and culture don't matter when we group other histories but it does when blacks are involved.

I think that the color of the ancient Egyptians DOES matter--if I were an oppressed African American, I would find some comfort in knowing that people who looked just like me and belonged to the same cultural tradition as I did once achieved great things, and I could too.
