Dr Ernie Smith writes    I agree with your second option ie to follow that paragraph with further academic discussion or even report on a scholarly response to Baughs work  You should know that after checking the references again I discerned that you are abolutely correct  Indeed it is not Blackshire Belay that Baugh posits as his source for Afrocentic view number ii  Based on the footnote number  that appears after the first phrase in numder ii ie refer to the languages of the African diaspora as a whole Baugh actually attributes this view to Williams  and Williams    This prompts the question is the second phrase that appears to be a continuation of number ii which states or it may refer to what is normally regarded as a variety of English either also included as what DrWilliams posits  For if it is attributed to Dr Williams I still say it is not Afrocentric and to posit this phrase as an Afrocentric view is in fact an outright misrepresentation of what Dr Williams has stated  Ernie Smith
