I shouldn't get into this, but it is worth pointing out that Sheila Walker is 
an Afrocentrist, with all that implies; i.e., at least at this stage of 
things, a field of study many of the claims of which are grossly ahistorical 
and patently preposterous.

She is apparently not terribly consistent either.  In addition to her 
comments on slavery as noted by Millison, she also has said, "We need to stop 
talking about slaves. I don't believe in slaves."  And, "The wealth of the 
Americas and the western world-all the Peri-Atlantic world, was created by 
Africans."
