What is worse Eurocentrism or Afrocentrism? Why both seem relevant in multicultural societies?
Euro-centrism has been around for 500+ years since Europe achieved dominance over the world in 1492 with the "discovery" of American and its successful world wide conquest. Europeans divided the world into three races: white, yellow and yellow. The "white" race is the superior and master race,...

Euro-centrism has been around for 500+ years since Europe achieved dominance over the world in 1492 with the "discovery" of American and its successful world wide conquest. Europeans divided the world into three races: white, yellow and yellow. The "white" race is the superior and master race, the other two are inferior races. The earth is divided into continents; the European continent is the number one continent. Christianism, the religion of Europeans is the best religion and the religion of God, islam is the worst religion and the religion of the devil.
Non European civilizations of North Africa, West Asia and India were whitewashed or rather caucasianized in order to prove the superiority of fair skinned people over dark skinned people. The presence of Africans or Asians peoples in Europe before 1492 and their contributions to European empires or civilizations erased from or minimized in history books. "Discoveries"of distant territories and lands made by non Europeans transformed into discoveries made by Europeans (America, Australia etc.).
The glorious past of non European empires and conquerors of European lands ignored or silenced (Mongol empire, Hun empire, Moorish empire, Ottoman empire, Egyptian empire, Carthaginian empire). The mixing of Europeans with non Europeans (Asians, Africans and Arabs) is strongly denied, particularly in Southern and Eastern Europe. Eb1b1 is classified as a caucasian haplogroup, even if it originates in east Africa (where people are dark or black skinned)
Afrocentrism is been around for 200+ years with the work of Afro-descendants in the Americas and West Indies. The Afro-descendants have adopted the racial classification invented by Europeans and identified themselves with the "black race". The "black race" is the original race and the mother race. All ancient civilizations were created by "black people" and were eventually stolen by yellow and white races.
Africa is the first continent. African peoples are the first peoples. The whole of Africa used to be inhabited by "black people" who were invaded and absorbed by "white" invaders in North African. The first mediterraneans were "black peoples who were later conquered, massacred and the survivors diluted into "white peoples" by "white blood". Even the Moors, the Pelasgians, the Etruscans and Sumerians were "black people whitewashed by Europeans in the 15C.
Eurocentrism and Afrocentrism are both pseudo-historical movements created by Europeans and Africans with a deep inferiority complex. Outside European or Western countries, very few people identify themselves by the color of their skin or facial features.
In societies dominated by Europeans or Euro-descendants, multiculturalism is the only way to counter the damaging effects of Eurocentrism. Afrocentrism seems to be a powerful tool used by Afro-descendants to neutralize the negative effects of Eurocentrism.
In reality, Afrocentrists, are not taken seriously, even by the vast majority of Africans, as their movement is viewed as Eurocentrism with a black face.
