What I find about this discussion is the wholesale acceptance that the Africans involved in the recreation of an African village or whatever it is are Black and Negroid. It says a lot about how you people think. What if it was full of Berter's white skinned Berbers or a bunch of high ranking Malagasy with their Malay faces and yellow brown skin or Bushmen with wrinkled faces and peppercorn hair or even the organiser's people looking like fellahin. Come on, admit it. Your responses have been racist and demeaning to Africans who are not black, Negroid. What an Afrocentrist response. Sorry, that is how I see it. Unfair and unfortunate cultural stereotyping of a diverse continent? Yep. But not really racism.

If stuffing a bunch of African blacks into a display at a zoo is racist, then thinking the Africans stuffed into a display in a zoo being black negroids is also. The action of placing people in display at a zoo may be inappropriate or naive or stupid but the race of the humans should not matter. What if the humans were European caucasoids made to look like Egyptians, Berbers, Somalis, Maasai..that probably would be worse.

Rude. Arrogant. Self important. Kame, go home to mom and learn some manners. Definition of Afrocentrist: Rude, arrogant and self important. A synonym for Kame? If you haven't anything sensible to add: Pissoff.

;D ;D LOL what a pansy, this is a message board dude and your just some random, ignorant white guy on the internet, who I've noticed has'nt the slightest clue about black africans. Every black dude that does'nt agree with your perception of the world is an "afrocentrist". Thats why I asked for your personal definition of what an afrocentrist is so next time theres no confusion for our other posters here. But I can clearly see through your terminology.
"go home and learn some manners" ;D ;D hahaha. Can't believe you actually said that.
