Your elder brother, an admirer of your intellect, is baffled by your verbal behaviour before cameras. But Negritude is not about saluting the glorious. Negritude is about glorifying the simple. I do not know how B.J. discovered any Negritudist in you. Leopold Senghor, on the other hand, wanted to glorify the simple things about Africa such as excitement, joy, and feeling.
Reason is Greek.
The Africa which you portrayed, dear Skip, was definitely not a celebration of the simple. Classical Orientalism was Eurocentric and condescending to non-Western cultures. I fear that is how you appear in your television series. You emerge as a friendly Western tourist, eager both to discover glories of the black experience and extract confessions of black misdeeds on slavery. You want to salute Africa and demonize it at the same time.
