. . . try in vain to stay afloat by using flawed studies that have been repeatedly discredited.

. . . cling desperately to E3b, which historical and genetic distance records indicate could not possibly be Black.

. . . cling equally desperately to old descriptions of archaic traits as 'negroid', which they know proves nothing.

. . . reference an unscientific, amateur travel website that has openly committed fraud.

Conclusion: Afrocentrics are blatantly dishonest, an embarrassment to their peers as a result, and rapidly running out of time . . .

Do you think that Afrocentrism without Ancient Egypt would still create the same national controversy and heated debates?
Personally, I believe that if the Afrocentrists decided to concentrate on Nubia and the rest of Black Africa, they would actually begin to gain some respect among the traditional academics? Also, they would need to end this racist dogma that alienates a lot of would be supporters.
I think Professor Walker, has a lot of guts and courage to be able to stand up and show his deep disapproval of a movement that is built on faulty foundations!!

Walker describes Afrocentrism as a form of totalitarian groupthink, devoid of historical accuracy.

"Afrocentrism is a mythology that is racist, reactionary, and essentially therapeutic," writes Walker. "It suggests that nothing important has happened in black history since the time of the pharaohs and thus trivializes the history of black Americans. Afrocentrism places an emphasis on Egypt that is, to put it bluntly, absurd.

"I've always been interested in critical history," said Walker in an interview at his on-campus office. He is finding his views at odds with those who don't want anything critical said about blacks.
