Talk:Black Athena

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since Afroasiatic refers to a language family, not to an ethnicity or culture, some comment about what is meant with "Afroasiatic roots" is needed. Is there any such term as "Orientocentrism", "Levantocentrism" to contrast with Eurocentrism and Afrocentrism? From "Afroasiatic" alone, it is not clear what the thesis has got to do with Afrocentrism, since Afro-Asiatic languages were spoken all over the ANE. dab (ᛏ) 11:39, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

This guy wrote three large volumes, he used literally thousands of references.

[edit] criticism

Should we include a criticism section in this page? For example show how he never is able to prove that it was central africans created the modern west. Or how he states specifically in his introduction that he intends to prove a point that has barin gon the civil rights movement? The Isiah 07:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

An account of controversy around Bernal's work can certainly appear here. It should of course be expressed in neutral terms (what is here now uses loaded language, and falls down in places when judged by the NPOV policy). Charles Matthews 09:20, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
