    I have no idea who(Clarence E. Walker) is,but from the little bit I read,he’s a self-hating moron.Next Afrocentrism,focuses on the Africa point of view;there’s always two sides to every story. One other thing,I don’t need or could care less about Egypt.Also for this fool to say that the Egyptians,were anything other than black people in the majority of there existence,shows he’s a moron
