This topic went ALOT better than I thought it would.

Way to go CE.

Also as a black guy from Kansas, I agree with what OP said in his OP.

I'll add though, that it would seem that AADS and other Afro-Centric types of thoughts are incompatible with the global stage, as American black people are used to drawing inspiration from other races "coded" as black. As the world become more connected, many American Black are finding out that those cultures they idolize DO NOT see themselves as similar to American Blacks.

This also forms my problem with Yasuke (the black samurai), as he is only famous for being black, and seems like a way for black people to participate in sensationlized Japanese culture while being able to bypass idolization of Japanese (or even just Asian culture).
