After looking through a few of the other posts to try and keep mine fresh, the only thing I can say is that will be difficult. The idea of afroethnicity comes up in most of the posts and I'm afraid I have to be another one to say it. Asante talks about "blackness" as a stigma constructed because of afroethnicity. What this means is that the way blacks are viewed is due to the way that western culture has viewed them... ie europeans. Hooks, Hall, and West look at race, gender, and class and how these effect the views of blacks and how this can be fixed; they don't so much go and pin it on another group of people.
