>> Because you pretty much prefaced that statement with this one: "So, I guess I trust the "white" professors more."
Because I knew that's what YOU would say about them. I was being facetious.
>> The only thing that's embarassing is that boner you get whenever your mom bends over.
...quite disgraceful...
>> who these magical black professors are?
Let me see... Jeff McEwen was one at UNC. Took a world Civ class from him. He did go into the Nubians, and the black pharaohs of Egypt, but he didn't claim any unfounded bullcrap like that the Greeks were black, or that the Egyptians weren't really a mixed society. He taught about history from the point of view of pointing out what has influenced our current culture. This didn't mean glorifying whites or blacks or anyone; most of the people he "glorified" were Semitic... you know, Persia, fertile crescent, that area. He did teach a black history class, but I never took that. My brother's civ teacher was Chinese, and he had approximately the same things to say.
>> Oh by the way, while you were busy with character attacks you forgot to respond to this:
criticism of the bell curve: Consideration of the book's actual content is being displaced by the rhetoric of denial: name calling ("neo-nazi," "pseudo-scientific," "racism"), sidetracks ("but does IQ really measure intelligence?"), non-sequiturs ("specific genes for IQ have not been identified, so we can claim nothing about its heritability"), red herrings ("Hitler misused genetics"), falsehoods ("all the tests are biased"), hyperbole ("throwing gasoline on a fire"), and insults ("creepy," "indecent," "ugly"). (taken from wikipedia, quoting Arthur Jensin in the National Review)
Mostly done on emotional grounds. Compare that to criticism of Afrocentrism... Mostly scientific.
Afrocentrism attempts to make the most out of the contributions of African society to the world’s society at large. This is mostly done through dodgy evidence, or possible connections for which there is no data to support. Examples with refutation in parenthesis:
Jesus was black... We know this because black people lived in that area at that time. (logic failure… just because something is possible it doesn’t mean it is true. We have no reliable evidence about Jesus’ life at all except for that which exists in the bible)
Egypt was a black society. I know this because the Greeks described them as having dark skin and kinky hair (There is evidence to the contrary. While it is quite possible that there were negros present, they were not necessarily the dominant ethnicity, and they were certainly not the only ethnicity. In fact, most mummies show Caucasoid/cro-magnonoid features.)
Black Egyptians invented the philosophy and learning the Greeks are famous for. (No proof, no merit. No connection at all. There was cultural exchange, but to assume that it was the only source is ridiculous.)
Read over that stuff above. I can pick them apart just by questioning their methodology and logic. I don't need to question their motives.
