Afrocentrism

The mistaken belief among many Americans of African descent that culture as we know it arose in Sub-Saharan Africa. Those taken in by such foolishness believe that they are the heirs of the Egyptian race, forgetting, of course, that this distinction actually belongs to today's Egyptians, and ignoring the fact that there is absolutely no evidence for such a preposterous claim. This cult-like mentality is often spouted by the likes of Louis Farrakhan, the NAACP, the Nation of Islam and others who have never been to Africa and who would never be caught dead there.

Afrocenrism is silly, boy.

Afrocentrism

Afrocentrism is simply bullshit. Not only do they claim that the Egyptians were black (which they weren't) they also try to provide "proof" that the Olmecs, Mayans and other Mesoamericans were black which is such an insult to all the of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. So what if most of Africa didn't have huge monuments, empires, or ideas like Ancient Rome, Greece, China, etc? many other countries don't have the same and they dont go bitching about it.

If all of the Mesoamerican peoples were black, then the unique astrology/calender they developed would have already been discovered in Africa and other places of the world(proof Afrocentrism is pseudoscience) . But that's not the case and it is unique ONLY to the Americas, so stop trying to steal stuff that's not yours. You're obviously asking for more racism against you. T

Afrocentrism

A rather blinkered belief system formed by stroppy African Americans in an attempt to create a link to their African past and culture. This is a bit like people in the UK and Eire having a similar fondness for southern germany (the original celtic homeland)and therefore a bit silly.

Afrocentrism

A philosophical school which attempts to link African peoples togheter, especialy those in America with those in Africa. Sometimes, however, it makes claims which are not true. For example, they claim that Africa is the heart of human science and technology. However, much of human science and technology developed independently in different parts of the world, at different times. Sometimes they will make anti-semitic claims.

Afrocentrism

Once just a 1980s black American fad, now a New Age cult.

Afrocentrism might be one reason why both Ebonics and the wanksta mentality are now virulent.

Androcentricise

The act, or making of something male-orientated. From the word androcentrism.

During the 1950’s, the USA dominated media with the image of the domestic housewife in order to androcentricise a truly developing culture, during the rising tide of the Sexual Revolution.

Androcentric-misandry

The systemic and social hatred of men inflicted by other men due to differences that are disdained.

Androcentric-misandry is "Oh look, that man is fat, he's weak! He's not worthy of a wife."
"Oh he can't even handle a woman properly, He's weak."
"As a man, men are weak. They should be more like me since I'm a REAL man"
"Don't date men like that, date men like me. They have no muscle."
"Soft boys don't get far in life"
