"the Palestinian collective is too often aligned with the Eurocentric zeitgeist."
First off, that statement is hardly correct as it relates to modern Palestinian existence. And even if there's some truth to it, how is that different from the "Eurocentric zeitgeist" currently plaguing some African states & leaders? There are still some Black scholars who'd deny any black presence in ancient Egypt. At one time Prof. Henry Louis Gates Jr. was one of them.
Secondly, even if there's such a European zeitgeist among Palestinians, how is that relevant to a people going through a genocide with survivors being driven off their land AS WE SPEAK? What am I missing here?!!!
Let me once again remind folks of Ta-Nehisi Coates' latest book, The Message, in which he details Palestinian suffering and puts it in the Black American experience context.
Bear in mind, Ta-Nehisi's father published & sold at his bookstore most of the Afrocentric books on Egypt, Kemetic history, and ancient African civilizations around the globe. In his biography, Ta-Nehisi Coates describes how he devoured those books so one cannot accuse him of being ignorant of the "Eurocentric zeitgeist".
I'm just like in a state of shock!
LOL.. and don't worry Mr TheOne, I know you're out there laughing at this, but I promise i'll get you and chop off your mischievous head. Gosh!
