::Moreschi, I understand you concerns about the first paragraph, but in what way is the rest of the section NPOV? -- [[User:Futurebird|futurebird]] ([[User talk:Futurebird|talk]]) 22:08, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

:::Good heavens, if you couldn't see my concerns about the first paragraph, I would be ''really'' worried :)

:::Some people seem to be confused about my role here - I'm not going even to try to add new content - for one thing I'm not competent to do so in this area, and even if I were, I haven't got the relevant reference material to hand - I'm simply here to take pot-shots from the side, and perhaps remove now and again material that so grotesquely fails Wikipedia policy that even I can spot it (so, then, that's most of the article).

:::Now that section. In addition to the laughably bad first paragraph, the second paragraph seems almost completely off-topic (as the final argumentative sentences implicity admits. Nice try!) The third para also has an implicit bias ("racist Eurocentric ideas about history", ", European history commonly receives more attention within the academic community than...) - cites, please? The fourth para I also feel uncomfortable with, as it fits in with the general POV tone of the article, that Afrocentrism is simply a nice cuddly warm multicultural movement (and, hey, dude, ''everyone'' likes multiculturalism, right?), rather than Something Else.
