    Asante referred to a Senagalese Intellectual and I wonder if he is referring to " Seex Anta Jóob" (in wolof) ? also known as "Cheikh Anta Diop" (29 December 1923 - 7 February 1986) he was a Senegalese historian, anthropologist, physicist, and politician who studied the human race's origins and pre-colonial African culture.[1] Diop's work is considered foundational to the theory of Afrocentricity, though he himself never described himself as an Afrocentrist.[2] The questions he posed about cultural bias in scientific research contributed greatly to the postcolonial turn in the study of African civilizations

      Young student, theory: 1) a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially 1 based on general principals independent of the thing to be explained.
      2) a set of principles used on which the practice of an activity is based.
      3) an idea used to account for a situation or justify a course of action.
      Afrocentric: regarding African or so called blk culture as preeminent.
      Afrocentric and theory is an oxymoron dude. Read ' Intro to Afrikan American History' if you really want an understanding.
      If you need suggestions I'm willing to teach my nigga! #panafrikanism #theoriginalman #allnonafrikanshaveneanderthalDNA #rhesusmonkey #denosovianDNA #fiftyfirstparallel

    With all due respect I believe in the duality and twinness and the souls of black folks in America; indeed we can have a understanding of both cultures of American and African!

      I do understand Dubois in a different light. That we are a distinct spirit and others have theirs, I find there to be credibility. One, I also believe can be of a dual consciousness. Of course not at once, and I don't think Dubois meant that. The reference seems more likely hinged on the vaserlation of moving from one frame of mind to another. Yet, I respect the opinions of Dr Sante, a true warrior of history. ✌️

    and in my language your name is Sotho origin and means The One who Pays or The WEALTHY one.(Molefi/Lefa) comes from Paying or Wealth.Kete comes from mokete which means celebration in most of my people lingos here in South Africa,Lesotho and Botswana.
    I believe they have the same meaning in Kenya as well(Lozi or Rozwi).
    I thank the knowledge you sharing and may the Gods grant you more wisdom to free Bantulands.Mother Alkebulan nkhere!

Why Are You Black...See Amexem! The worst label. When you're lost...you follow...Right? DeBlack and Free yourselves from self hatred and mental bondage cast upon you by the True "Black" people who originated from Europe! History Does Not Lie...the Teachings of Black Europeans is A Lie including their Demon Religion foolishly adopted by their slave-minded vassals!

    Professor Asante is correct in his synopsis that duality is a choice and a poor choice. An African American is raised as a european and it's his responsibility to fight and change this destructive mindset to be a true African of the Diaspora.

    I am curious to understand what led Dubious to his final views on Africa after fighting against that view for many years. Dubois was the last person I expected to teach or be buried in Africa.

      Du Boise was a Pan Africanist. He was of the leaders of the First Pan African Conference in 1900. Marcus Garvey was 13 years old at the time.

      @@daviddash9947 First, you should Google the Pan African Congress of 1900 just so you don't think my words are an opinion, but fact. You will read that Haile Selassie was there and that Du Boise wrote the initial letter to the world's meaning white institutions and governments to free Africa from Colonization.
      On Garvey and Du.Boise, they met first in Jamaica. Garvey admired him and wanted Du.Boise to read his works. Du.Boise wasn't impressed. Later Garvey arrives in Harlem and again is not received by the integrationist Du Boise. Du.Bosie.felt Garvey's back to Africa idea was a distraction. Du Boise supported Pan Africanism but that meant African-American joining that table as Ethnic Black American. To Du.Bosie, back to Africa movements had already been explored and failed. Paul Cuffee, who was from MA like Du Boise tried and failed and the founding of Liberia ended in disaster nearing a tribal war with newly arriving black Americans.
      Du Boise simply felt Garvey's "Black Nationalism" was divisive and would set Black Americans backwards (like American blacks feel about the NOI now), as they were already fighting Jim Crow laws. Thus, why encourage more black bathroom cam white bathrooms?
      I hope that helps.

    Getting a name change is not one of the most important things we need to do as a race of people in this country we call America it's about our mindset what we are believing and thinking yes a name change is great but having our minds together is more important

    Dubois spent more than 5 years in Africa. Making him ignorant toward the African condition is totally wrong. Dubois blackness should never be questioned. He not only studied the African American experience he was on the front line. From Boston to Georgia.
    Dubois knew Africa had resoures. It was his blackness that wouldn't allow him not to understand Africa's condition . Dubois lived in Africa over 20 years and he wasn't ignorant regarding life in Africa.

    Asante's assessment of is DuBois conflicted. As an educator, he appears limited or possibly envious at the scope of educational enlightenment achieved by DuBois who educated himself across cultures and nations, which is a rare achievement for anyone. Asante's conclusion that DuBois had a German-Centric leaning is inaccurate; however, anyone during the rise of Germany cannot ignore their achievements as an industrial nation who fostered many of the brightest minds of science..stolen by the U.S. Regarding Africa, regrettably, the continent is flawed with selfish corruption and the adoption of racist colonization, which carved it into smaller ineffective countries generally ruled by thugs and crooks! The Americans of African descent are beyond a crossroad and if they continue to fail in recognizing the "war" against them imposed by Euro-Americans, they to will "cease to exist" as the native people have been reduced to obscurity by the "Black" people from Europe.

    This lecture is well delivered and intended is full of errors and it grossly misreads DuBois besides. For example: DuBois did not to go school in Berlin, he went to the university . The conference in Manchester was organised by Nkrumah and Padmore - not by DuBois. The only Nigerian leader there was Nnamdi Azikiwe. The Ewe do not have a court, where are the Brong? And as to the final playdoyer that is simply reiterating the old colonial point that the Zimbabwe ruins were built by Egyptians.
