==Etymology== The term "hotep" was originally used among Afrocentrists as a greeting, similar to "I come in peace", but by the mid-2010s had come to be used disparagingly to "describe a person who's either a clueless parody of Afrocentricity" or "someone who's loudly, conspicuously and obnoxiously pro-black but anti-progress".
