@McCray2338 Bragging on your heritage does not make you a racist. Racism starts when you put down other peoples race and heritage. This guy has several videos made, and I came across some that put down White people, especially the videos he has made about ancient Egypt. So I am not calling you a racist, I am calling him one. Also, Afrocentrism has a tendency to claim other peoples heritages and civilizations, mainly by Black Americans trying to fill a void for loss of cultural knowledge.

@IslenoGutierrez

Well in that case if it's like you say then yes he is racist, but I would not know because I have not watched any other video of his. Sooo with that being said I can only speak about myself because while I am proud of my ancestry, and brag on it I don't down other people's ancestry. So does the fact that I brag about my ancestry alone make me racist???

[IslenoGutierrez]

@McCray2338 I am proud of my ancestry, but this guy is more than just being proud of his ancestry. He brags on it, and tries to discredit others from theirs when it may be tied to his. As for instance in some of his videos regarding ancient Egypt. So I don't hate people who are proud of their heritage, I just don't like people who discredit the history and achievement of others' ancestors. There is a difference. He comes across as racist in some of his videos when speaking about White people.

[IslenoGutierrez]

@McCray2338 Afrocentrists are usually pro-Black racists. If you feel that you are Afrocentric, then that is your problem. Also, yes I do not care your profession or degree, because I didn't ask you for it, you volunteered for it as if it would make me believe your points. I read the comment correctly, that is how I came to the conclusion. There was no need to mention it. Yes, I'm grown, so I don't need any definitions from you. I came across this vid on accident, just like his others.

[IslenoGutierrez]

@McCray2338 It is not racist to call someone an Afrocentrist. I don't hate Africans, but I don't like Afrocentrists because they try to twist the truths about things and try to claim things for Black Africa that do not belong. Most Afrocentrists are not even Africans, but Black Americans. I am not racist, as I appreciate all colors, but I don't like Afrocentrism because it is tied to pro-Black racism.

[McCray2338]

@IslenoGutierrez watching his videos. I for one don't care. By the way are you proud of your ancestry because if so then that means your racist if you think he's Afrocentric "racist" for being proud of his.

[McCray2338]

@IslenoGutierrez If being proud of my ancestry makes me Afrocentric then sure. But if you have to hate other races and ethnic groups to be Afrocentric then no. I also never asked you to CARE about my degree or profession if you read my comment correctly. I should not have to supply the definition of "ancestry" to a grown man, and if you think he's sooo Afrocentric then why watch his videos? I don't this was my first and last one because I have better things to do, but feel free to continue

[IslenoGutierrez]

@McCray2338 Are you Afrocentric? Because you seem to highly defending this guy, who if you watch his videos, he is a an Afrocentrist. Well, I could care less about your degree or your profession. Supply some credible sources saying that ancestry is ONLY the one of proto-African origin. If you can't, then it is merely speculation. Ancestry also points to places of evolution. Native Americans' ancestry lies in Siberia.

[McCray2338]

@IslenoGutierrez

Is that just your definition of ancestry because when I got my bio degree to become a genealogist, that was not the definition we learned.Your missing a few key points like frame shift mutaions and so on when it comes to the reason why humans now differ in our phenotypes. Btw I don't consider myself racist because i'm proud of my African ancestry. Now bashing other races is a horse of a different color. But I didn't hear any bashing in this video? What did you hear?

[IslenoGutierrez]

@McCray2338 Of course all humans have origins in Africa, but when we speak of ancestry, we speak of the place where your ancestors evolved to the present phenotypical state. Europeans look the way they do due to the climate of Europe. Same goes for Indians and Chinese of the climate they evolved in. Btw, he is Afrocentric, I've seen several of his videos, and many are bashing White people and praising Blacks and Black Africans.
