why are you trying to ascribe sinister motives to me?
i don't understand.
not an attempt to ascribe, rather to understand, because i am confused as to why someone would willfully and dramatically downplay clearly ubiquitous and commonly accepted world views propagated by racist ideology.
i was pointing out that we live in the 21st century, not the 19th.
you think what we believe in the 21st can not be massively influenced, or indeed still largely based on, thinking which went on and things which took place in the 19th? especially when these thoughts and things include fundamental historical revision and sweeping academic and educational reform?
if you do you are wrong. in many respects, philosophically, politically, even scientifically, the origins of a lot of our "modern" commonly accepted beliefs can be traced to the 19th century and earlier and much earlier.
it often takes a loooooooooooong ass time for scholarly findings to reverse popular beliefs.
the things you are saying are not as controversial as you are making out. a lot of it is accepted, mainstream history. that is all.
^^^ and you are making false statements grossly distorting reality. that is all.
go outside. ask the first 10 people you meet on the street: "did Greek culture mostly come from Africa?" and see what kind of answers you get.
do it.
what most people might agree on is "some influence", but not the mother-child relationship between the Egypt and Greece.
just look at the
2.5 and
2 stars out of 5 and the comments that the first 2 volumes of Black Athena gets on Amazon.
and not only the "general population", even in academic specialist circles, look at the vehement attacks on Black Athena from reputable scholars since it came out.
"accepted, mainstream history"? not even close.
