The Helios Biblios Hour : Conscience +Capitalism =Afrocentrism

from O YE DRYBONES (FEB 2019 - JAN 2025) · host DRYBONES

conscious/ conscience. Both words have to do with the mind, but it's more important to be conscious, or awake, than conscience, or aware of right and wrong. Afrocentricity was born in an academia in the West in contemporary times, rising to minor notability out of the Critical Race Theory era. While Afrocentrism attempts to create a legacy for its ideological core back to Ancient Egypt, it is really a critical response to barrage of academic racism. The Western historical view, and indeed the dominant African view, was that Africans have made no contribution to anything civilized.Afrocentrism has largely become an excuse for anything goes scholarship; making it a source of derision from academics of all backgrounds. it has failed to self-check. It has become just as hypocritical as all the things it attacks. How many of them invest in Africa? How many of them even seen Africa, except as a footnote in some academics book, which they copy, paste, and twistinto their own writings.  They view Africa from CNN feeds, and out of the window of some 5 star European owned hotel; while attending yet another paper revolution conference for members only.The closest they get to business is the ubiquitous tours to Ghana and Egypt, and maybe a book that only members buy and read. It is good they do these tours, but why stop there?Victimhood and agency are two critical areas which need some serious examination when it comes to Afrocentricity.African agency they are often denying when they blame the world for Africa’s condition. So Durfar could not be the fault of African people, it must be because of Arabs.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/o-ye-drybones-archive--6500709/support.
