I would date it to George Schuyler and his "Negro Art Hokum" and other essays, like those from the collection "Rac(e)ing to the Right: Selected Essays." I would also add Alain Locke's writings going back to 1914 as an earlier eliminativist than Schuyler.

Oh....I came to add Jean Toomer to the early eliminativist list!
