Mom-Joe, as mentioned before, I have been doing research, regarding ,discrimination, but I have to tell you something it’s an enormous amount of information..However, when I am done, you will probably, be sorry that you invited me…(I mean that jokingly)….I am a researcher, this is my field of expertise….I am not a scientist, however, I am more like a librarian…LOLOL ,but ture!!!!!:)

Mom-Joe, I’ve done a little more research regarding discrimination….I also took the liberty in looking up the word “Euro-centrism”, which by the way, I am grateful, to “jwbe” for bringing that up over and over…..I also discovered a new word called “Afrocentrism”, which would indicate that African Americans would also have their own belief systems..I don’t understand the logic…. However, I do know, that is sounds like an insult to “white people” if they didn’t stay around and further investigate this site. When using that term it would immediately shut down the minds of most “white people” in thinking that your are a racist against white people, in general. And, I don’t feel that’s what you are talking about…Anyway, as mentioned before, I am still in the beginning stages of this research. I do have a question for you..Why are you targeting the Northern states with your book?…Thanks Mom—-

@Joe
ok, I will write my thoughts about Eurocentrism later.
Just now as a side-note, yes I got it that you studied, wrote books, hold seminars etc.
Be aware, I have ’studied’ European culture my own way almost my entire life and I am very sensitive to quite alot typical ‘white frames’.

Yes, I have used Yurugu numerous times in my sociological theory seminars, and regularly cite the book. She makes very important points about the character of the Western philosophical approach to the world.

Good questions. It is a bit of a long discussion, since you first have to define the terms here, like Eurocentrism.

I do spell out in detail what I mean by the white racial frame here
http://www.racismreview.com/blog/2008/03/12/white-racial-frame/
and in the book The White Racial Frame. Also Systemic Racism. What do you have in mind with the term Eurocentrism? It is used in many different ways in the stuff I read.

ok. Do you think one can combat white supremacy without combatting Eurocentrism?
