Yeah, Afrocentrism is pretty bad. Like the whole 'ancient Egyptians were Black' thing, which just doesn't make sense on dozens of levels.
I can live with Ancient Egypt was Black, at least one dynasty was Nubian so it have some ground in history. Yes the conclusion is wrong but at least one dynastys had Black pharaohs. So full of shit, but still some connection with reality
Cleopatra I also can live it, it's clearly wrong and stupid (we have most of her genelogy and it was Macedonian with a few Persians), but who cares.
the one which piss me off, is the Olmecs was black, beside being incredible obvious wrong, it's also bring associations with 19th centuries Victorians up "the Mesoamericans was too primitive to build a civilisation, Africans did it". It steal a pierce of history from one of the world's poorest people, it's so fundamental unsympatic that it really pisses me off.
