In two masterful lectures contained within the pages of this modest text, Dr. Wilson challenges the all too pervasive assumption and false perception that the "New World Order" is somehow ordained -that if Afrikan people are to progress, they have no other Alter-native but to remain colonized by White Western Inte-rests, This of course is patently false. Dr Wilson de-bunks this myth with an insightful analysis of the Legacy of Marcus Garvey and the proven validity of Afrikan Centered

Consciousness as necessary. Please listen to his audio lectures intently and then view/ study the videos in the context of his pearls of wisdom. Areas covered in the book and audio include:

Are Black and White Children the same?

Are there any significant differences in the mental and physical growth and development of Black and White Children?

Are such leisure time activities as the playing of certain games, watching T.V., going to the movies, listening to the radio, hazardous to the mental health of Black Children?

Why do Black Children generally score lower than White Children on I.Q. tests?

Is the Black Child merely a White Child who "happens" to be "painted" Black?

What effects does race awareness have on the mental and personality development of Black Children?

Is the use of Black English a sign of mental inferiority?

Do Black parents socialize their children to be inferior to White Children?

Why have integrated schools and busing failed so many Black Children?

Why and How the African Child is

Miseducated in the Western Educational System By Hort, September 2007

As African children head back to school to face another school year I would like

to make an attempt to explain to our community and particularly to young parents

why and how the African child has been systematically mis-educated in the

western world during the last 500 years, so that they can better understand the

root causes of some of the aberrations and self destructive forms of behavior

they see in our community and to help them realize that if they want a brighter

future for their children and for our community, then it is imperative that they no

longer leave the education of their children solely in the hands of the western

educational system, but rather to follow the advice of Malcolm X who told us

years ago that “the black child‟s education starts when the school bells rings at 4

p.m in the afternoon.” (This may vary depending on what time school ends in

your country) We didn‟t follow his advice then and today our youth are suffering

the consequences. The situation of African children around the planet has

considerably deteriorated since the days of Malcolm X, so that we are now forced

to follow the advice of Dr Asa Hilliard one of Africa‟s great educators who died

recently and left us these parting words. "The education of African people is an

urgent necessity. It is a matter of life and death. We cannot abide another

generation of children who have no identity and who are ignorant about Africa."

The late Professor Amos Wilson, another one of Africa‟s foremost educators of

the 20th century, posed a crucial question that all African parents and our

community need to ask. What is the purpose of an education? He said that most

black people have been „trained‟ to think it is „to get a job with one of the „fortune

500‟ companies”. However, according to Dr. Wilson, they are seriously mistaken,

because the purpose of an education is to improve and further the interests of

one‟s own group and to ensure its survival. Obviously the Indians, the Chinese,

the Jews and other groups understand this, since that is what they do. Our

people often look at them and marvel at their unity and wonder why in contrast

our community seems so fragmented and disorganized. Yet, when we study

African civilization we can clearly see that it was well organized and group

oriented and there is even an African proverb which states “it takes a whole

village to raise a child.” If it took a whole village to raise a child, it must have been

because our ancestors worked as a group and understood that on reaching

adulthood that child would in turn do everything to promote the interests of their

group. Our ancestors therefore never left the education of their children to

chance because the cohesiveness of their society was of prime importance.

So, how have African people become such a fragmented and disorganized group

of people today? “Why can‟t we be like the Indians and the Japanese?” the

question one of my 17 year old nephews asked me some years ago. The answer

is quite simple. We cannot be like them because we do not have the same

historical experience.” We do ourselves a great disservice when we compare

ourselves to other people since we can only compare that which is similar, not

dissimilar. We are different because Africa was attacked by Arabs and

Europeans, and our people were forcefully taken to another land and enslaved.

Neither the Indians nor the Japanese have had that experience and therefore it is

absolutely pointless to compare ourselves to them.

When slavery and later colonization took place the vision that our ancestors had

of educating and raising African children was taken out of their control and a new

way was imposed on African people. Worse, this new system of education ran

counter to the interests and needs of Africans. As a result, today, as Prof Wilson

has again pointed out, African people have never had so many talented and

educated economists, educators, sociologists, doctors, lawyers, artists, etc, yet

we suffer the worst health, housing, and education on the planet because our

education was never designed to promote our interests but rather the goals and

the interests of our oppressors. The self destructive behavior and derogative

lyrics of the rap generation is a striking example of children who have not been

taught to promote their interests.

Furthermore, our people hold advanced degrees from some of the most

prestigious Ivy League schools and universities and can solve any myriad of

problems for other groups but since they have not received an African centred

education when it comes to their own, all their knowledge is null and void.

Sometimes the more educated they become; the more alienated they are from

African culture and more of a menace to our group, because in their zeal to

promote the interests of others they often end up doing harm to their own people.

So, Colin Powell, who sent African American soldiers to kill other African people

in Grenada, should never be considered a good role model for our children, if we

want to liberate African people from oppression. If African leaders allow the West

to take their wealth to feed Europeans and leave Africans to starve and face

death, it is because they too have been taught to work against their own

interests. For example, at the end of apartheid instead of putting reparations and

land redistribution as a top priority for South Africa‟s black victims, reconciliation

with whites, the criminals, became the main goal. As a result, Nelson Mandela is

feted all over the western world and the British even unveiled a statue of him

recently in London, yet the only thing that South African blacks have received to

date is some propaganda about living happily in a mythical rainbow colored

society. This is one of the reasons why African parents must be extremely careful

with the kind of role models they present to their children. Danny Glover is a

much better model for our children to emulate than Condoleezza Rice.

This new manner of raising and educating black children however has always

posed a problem in the western world. Once again, Dr. Wilson gives us an

explanation. It is problematic he says, because African people were not brought

to the West to be educated. They were brought to be the slaves and servants of

the people who enslaved them, in other words, to work. I used to teach African

culture in an after school program several years ago and the first question we

asked the children was the reason for our people‟s presence here in the West.

None of them ever responded by saying that African people were here to work as

servants for white people. In fact, most black people will answer this question by

a vague “we were brought here as slaves.” Have you ever noticed that anything

meant for African people is often vague? For example, “Jesus is coming back

soon” or “we are going to reduce poverty in Africa” or “we want to help Africa”

What date specifically is Jesus coming back? By what date exactly are they

going to reduce poverty and by how much? or what specific area of activity are

they planning to focus on? We don‟t know. The language is vague because it‟s

not meant to be taken seriously and they know that our people will not demand

anything more specific. In return, we are asked to blindly believe, watch and pray

and hope for a better day. Also very, very vague.

Yet what black people actually do is very specific. We serve our white masters. In

sports and in music all the owners are white and the players and singers are

black. This imbalance exists even in countries where the majority of the

population is black. For example in the Caribbean most of the business and hotel

owners as well as the tourists are white, while the workers are mostly black. In

Africa, our people extract the diamonds and gold from the ground while Indians,

Jews, Lebanese and Western businessmen sit in their offices all day and reap

the benefits. This inability to understand the real reason for our presence in the

West has led our community to the false assumption that we are here to „live in

peace and harmony with whites.‟ How many times have we heard black people

say “they don‟t see color” yet when they move into a white neighborhood, the

whites move out, so obviously they do. If we are so mistaken about why we are

here and our relationship with its inhabitants is it any wonder that our children

and our community are so confused and have so many problems in their daily

lives?

In 1888, Ernest Renan, a racist French philosopher described Europe‟s

economic vision of our world when he said, “Nature has given us a race of

workers, they are Chinese, a race to till the soil, they are Africans and a race of

rulers and soldiers, they are Europeans”. This is exactly the world we live in

today. Yet, this racially organized economic system has existed for the last 500

years but sadly African people are totally unaware of this fact because they are

kept ignorant and uninformed the world over. It is also this racially segmented

economic system which is responsible for the persistent poverty and

underdevelopment in Africa and the other countries where our people reside, but

because of our ignorance western propaganda has made us believe that it is

Page 6: Black Child Development Under White Supremacy-Dr. Amos Wilson-Audio Lecture

February 4, 2011

Why and How the African Child is

Miseducated in the Western Educational System Page 6

because our leaders are incompetent and corrupt. We are meant to transfer our

hatred to our leaders rather than to the racist economic system that Europeans

have willfully put in place to impoverish Africans. Luckily, the masses of poor

people are passive if not there would be thousands of revolts every day,

everywhere on this planet. To keep African people impoverished the West

intentionally bypasses Africa and the ghettos where many of our people live and

invest in the Asian countries. The reason Chinese investment in Africa today

terrifies the West is because they fear it may actually help lift Africans out of

poverty and thus threaten their racially segmented economic system. To punish

the Chinese, the West has simply mounted a propaganda campaign accusing

them of selling tainted products and of ignoring human rights in Africa, but when

and where in Africa has the West ever respected human rights? In fact, most of

the anti democratic leaders in Africa are still in power because of the West.

Corruption in Africa therefore is not the cause of poverty but a consequence of it.

People in Africa are corrupt because they do not earn enough money to live

decently and therefore must resort to illegal methods to make ends meet. In fact,

where ever you see crime take a good look, you will usually find high

unemployment and intolerable living conditions because it is a consequence and

not the cause. Improve the living conditions and corruption and crime will quickly

disappear. It‟s a very simple equation but of course no one is interested in this

option because the capitalist system, which is really the old Roman slave system

under a different name, cannot survive without access to a large number of

unpaid workers or people who are barely paid. Under globalization, its modern

name, 80% of the world is still exploited by the 20% who still continue to own all

the wealth. Changing the name periodically (feudalism, industrialization,

capitalism, socialism, communism and now globalization) is simply a strategy

that the West uses to make us; the ignorant masses believe that there is genuine

change taking place in society. Now you understand why every country you visit

and in every area of activity the owners and those who make money are always

white or are close to white, while those who work, serve and are exploited are

always black or close to it. This is what African parents must begin to understand

so that they can explain to their children why African people are consistently at

the bottom of the socio-economic ladder.

Now that we know that African people were brought to the West exclusively to

work and serve whites, and not to “live in peace and harmony” with them, where

did the rationale behind the education of black children come from? After

Europeans had succeeded in making our ancestors almost as ignorant as the

animals they said they were after years of chattel slavery, some of them began to

realize that in order to further their commercial interests, it was better for the

„negroes‟ to have at least a minimal amount of education. A few continued to

believe that “negroes should continue to be worked like beasts of burden and be

kept in total ignorance,” however they finally agreed that it was in their best

interest to educate our ancestors. In their original plans Europeans had had no

Page 7: Black Child Development Under White Supremacy-Dr. Amos Wilson-Audio Lecture

February 4, 2011

Why and How the African Child is

Miseducated in the Western Educational System Page 7

intentions of educating African people. The education of the black child in the

western educational system therefore was never designed to develop the

individual personality or the intellect of African children and to help them reach

their fullest potential. The decision to educate was strictly based on the economic

requirements of the day which needed a number of educated Africans in order for

the West to achieve its goals.

We would still be uneducated today if Europeans had not deemed it a necessary

requirement. In fact, one of the reasons that African children are doing so badly

in the educational system is precisely because their education continues to

depend on the needs of the western economic system. If you listen to

propaganda however you may easily believe it is because they are intellectually

inferior and lazy. The stark reality is that the business world is linked to education

and therefore whatever happens in the economic sphere will have an impact on

education. The educational system works like a bottleneck to control the flow of

students entering the workforce. So, if the economy is experiencing a boom,

more students will graduate from college and university in order to enter the work

force and if there is a recession, it will do the complete opposite. I.e. fewer

students will graduate and thus fewer will enter the workforce.

The western economy has not been doing well for several years now because

the new technology has not been able to provide the large numbers of jobs which

the old industries like steel and coal did, years ago. This has led economists to

conclude that long term unemployment will now be a permanent fixture of the

western economy. As a result, universities and colleges have been forced to

reduce the number of people entering the workforce. It is obvious that if the

economy is suffering this will have an adverse effect on African people since our

education since the days of slavery has been intricately linked to the state of the

Western economy. This is the real reason why there is very little investment in

black education because there is an economic imperative to considerably reduce

the flow of African children graduating and entering the workforce, since there

are no available jobs for them and thus it is pointless to waste money educating

them. Might I remind you that 400 years ago, black unemployment was totally

unheard of in the West since every African man, woman and child was fully

employed from sunrise to sunset. In fact, Europeans couldn‟t build ships fast

enough to go to Africa to kidnap Africans and bring them to the West to work.

Isn‟t it ironic that curbing immigration from Africa is the biggest issue in the West

today where quotas and fluency in Western languages are requirements for

emigrating to the West? In France they are even planning to test the DNA of

relatives who simply want to rejoin their families. How unfortunate that

Europeans did not enforce these practices 500 years ago because they would

have saved Africans a tremendous amount of pain.

If we accept that in the western system an individual‟s importance depends on

their financial worth, then it is clear why African children have become a liability

rather than an asset and are underachieving in school. Knowing the kind of social

disruption that able bodied, young men of working age unable to find a job can

create in society, the West has decided to channel them into prisons as a

solution in order to prevent the kind of revolts that occurred in the French

suburbs 2 years ago. This is why „tolerance zero‟ was introduced and why a 15

year old African American youth who stole a simple chocolate bar would receive

a 15 year jail sentence from a US court. To deaden the pain of those who have

lost all hope of a better future, they inject drugs into our communities and pray for

a quick demise either by a drug overdose or a bullet to the brain as our young

men pretend to be mafia bosses fighting over turf.

After the Europeans had finally decided to educate African children, they had to

deal with the problem of the content of their education. What were they to teach

these „negroes?‟ All of the aberrations and self destructive behavioral patterns

that we see in our community can be traced right back to this moment when

Europeans had to make a decision about the kind of information they were going

to transmit to African people. When African children entered the western school

system for the first time, there was great fear among the slaveholders that if

Africans were taught „the wrong‟ information, (the truth) they would lose complete

control over them especially since our ancestors numerically outnumbered whites

in the new world at that time.( African people have since become the minority.)

To understand why Europeans were so afraid of the content of African education

we must go further back into our past. Before they had even set foot in Africa,

Europeans had heard about its glory and its extraordinary civilization. Philip of

Macedonia, like the typical warmongering European megalomaniac, decided that

as he was the most powerful person in the West he had to conquer Egypt, the

most advanced African civilization at the time and own it for himself. Fortunately,

he was killed while waging another one of his numerous wars. Unfortunately, his

son Alexander, who only a twisted mind could call great, decided to fulfill his

father‟s dream and did eventually conquer Egypt. When Europeans entered

Africa for the first time and saw the tremendous civilization our ancestors had

methodically collected, stored and preserved from millennia they were

mesmerized. They were overwhelmed by its organization, its opulence, its style,

its architecture, its creativity, its intelligence, in short, everything but most

particularly, its tremendous wealth.

Today in the western media we are inundated with propaganda of “a poverty

stricken Africa” but Europeans knew then and still know now how tremendously

wealthy Africa is. In fact, it is precisely because of Africa‟s genius and its

tremendous wealth why African people were enslaved in the first place.

Europeans were envious and wanted to have Africa all for themselves but they

also felt ashamed and it was at this moment that the crime which they would

Why and How the African Child is

Miseducated in the Western Educational System Page 9

carry out later in the 15th century when they discovered the New World began to

take shape in their minds. One of the things that struck me as I studied Ancient

Egyptian civilization was the number of times the word „shame‟ appeared in the

writings of many of the European travellers to Egypt. It‟s a leitmotiv in their

writings. Even Jean Francois Champoleon who deciphered the hieroglyphs on

the Rosetta Stone felt shame when he visited the tombs of the Pharaohs in the

Valley of Kings and saw the different races depicted there. This is what he said.

“We also found Egyptians and other Africans depicted in the same way, which

could not be otherwise: but there were some important and strange differences

between the namou ( the Asians) and the tamhou ( the Europeans) ….. Finally

(and I am ashamed to say this because our race was the last and most savage of

all in those ancient times) but we must be honest and admit that we did not paint

a very pretty figure in those days. Here I am referring to all the people with

blonde hair and white skin, living not only in Europe, but in Asia, their place of

origin. “(Asia here means people from the Middle East and not from China) this

forces us to ask the following question, “Why did Europeans feel shame when

they came into contact with Africa? Where did their shame stem from? It is this

shame which is behind our enslavement and oppression.

In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about the end of western civilization

and we have all heard conservative and right wing politicians in the West

lamenting the loss of western values. But what is Western civilization? What

exactly are Western values? If you have travelled across Europe as I have, you

will see walled cities, military forts, canons, pistols, and guns, all manner of

swords and statues of war heroes. In short, you will see an arsenal of weaponry

and materials for waging war. In my opinion, war is not what most people

imagine when they think about civilization. This may surprise many people but

the West has never had a civilization if you exclude war from that definition. So

where did the West get all its architecture, laws, religion, human rights ideas, its

so called values, etc? .They got them from Africa. Before they visited Africa they

had none of these things.

In fact, Europeans had spent their time on the planet developing more and more

lethal weapons to wage war and kill each other. Africans in contrast, had spent

their time on this planet mapping the stars, studying the changing seasons,

inventing literature, the arts, architecture, mathematics, writing, inventing the

calendar, medicine, worshiping their gods, mummifying their dead, preparing for

the afterlife, even inventing the very wig that so many black women can no

longer do without today, in short, trying to build the things that we consider today

as civilization. As a result, when they came into contact with Africa‟s splendor,

Europeans felt inadequate, ashamed, inferior, because they had built nothing

similar in Europe, only weapons of war, and so they were envious and started

plotting to take Africa for themselves and enslave African people and that is

exactly what they have done. So what has been promoted as Western civilization

Page 10: Black Child Development Under White Supremacy-Dr. Amos Wilson-Audio Lecture

February 4, 2011

Why and How the African Child is

Miseducated in the Western Educational System Page 10

during the last 500 years is none other than the civilization of African people

which they have simply confiscated and claimed as their very own. Today, the

West has reached the peak of its power and it is still in the warmongering

business, and still sowing death and destruction in its path. Iraq is a recent

example and perhaps Iran will be next in line, however, it now prefers to let the

other races kill each other while it concentrates on supplying all the materials

necessary for them to accomplish this task and rake in the profits from their

deaths, especially from the deaths of African people who unfortunately have

become infected with the western warmongering virus after centuries of close

contact, to the point where Rwandans exterminated 4 million of their own people

in the short space of only 3 months.

As many people are unaware that the West has claimed African civilization as its

own, they are often confused by the contradictions they see in Western society.

So they can‟t understand for example how slavery and human rights can co-exist

side by side but if you understand that one comes from Europe (slavery) and the

other comes from Africa (human rights), then there is absolutely no contradiction

whatsoever. Furthermore, as they do not genuinely believe in such concepts they

often end up only paying lip service to them. Do you remember that Europeans

were holding a book in their hands which clearly stated „thou shalt not kill‟ while

they were raping and killing our ancestors? Worse, the ships our ancestors

travelled across the Atlantic Ocean on had biblical names such as „the good ship

Jesus” or “John the Baptist.” Today, Mr. Bush talks about god and drops cluster

bombs which kill women and children in the same breath. This is exactly what his

ancestors, the founding fathers, did when they exterminated the Amerindians, the

original inhabitants of the USA. This dichotomy can be observed in many areas

in western society because they have simply juxtaposed their warmongering

culture to African civilization and promoted it as their own.. Now you can

understand why there is so much injustice, poverty and exploitation on one hand

and false philanthropy on the other in our world. If you have ever wondered why

there are so many humanitarian and Christian organizations all over Africa

apparently working to help lift Africans out of poverty, yet Africans still do not

have access to clean drinking water now you know why. Next time the G8

countries get together and begin to wax lyrical about how they intend to lift

Africans out of poverty, please do yourself a favor and turn off your television.

.

The education of the black child caused great fear among the Europeans

because they knew the genius of the people they had enslaved. What could they

therefore teach African children whose birthright they had stolen? For a start,

they certainly couldn‟t allow black and white children to compete equally because

the white children would have been humiliated by the brilliance of the Africans.

The problem was only solved when the minority white population realized they

were the sole decision makers in terms of what information was to be taught or

withheld from their black students and furthermore, they had the monopoly in the

writing and in the publication of the books, manuals and other materials that

Page 11: Black Child Development Under White Supremacy-Dr. Amos Wilson-Audio Lecture

February 4, 2011

Why and How the African Child is

Miseducated in the Western Educational System Page 11

black people would read. So, they simply decided to give our children an inferior

quality of education instead. Professor Wilson says that the education of the

black child has never been and can never be the same as that of the white child

because the white child must be taught how to rule and dominate others, while

the black child must be taught how to serve and obey, hence the dual role of the

western educational system. In spite of all the talk about equality, desegregation

and. Mr. Bush‟s famous „no child left behind policy,” the educational system in

the West has not changed one iota since the days of slavery and continues to

ensure that African children receive an inferior quality of education in comparison

to their white counterparts. In order to maintain this two tiered system they have

invented all kinds of covert strategies such as intelligence tests, special

education classes, hierarchy between schools, etcetera, In short, they continue

to teach our children how to serve and obey which of course our young males

totally reject. In fact, it is the information they teach in the school system which

destroys the self esteem and the will to succeed in our children and that is

exactly what it is intended for. As a result, they lose interest in school, begin to

experience difficulty and eventually they drop out and become delinquents.

This fear of being humiliated by African people is still very strong today and is

one reason why many whites abandon certain professions and sports that black

people enter and why they are so hesitant to allow black people into certain

professions. When black people dominate an area of activity or profession,

whites often give the impression that it is really of no value whatsoever, however,

this behavior is simply a self defense mechanism which they adopt in order to

avoid feelings of inadequacy, inferiority and the pain of being outperformed by

African people, in other words, the same feelings their ancestors experienced so

many centuries ago when they first encountered Africans.

Teaching African children about their glorious past would have been

counterproductive because of their fear of being humiliated by Africans,

so instead they decided to distort both African and world history by teaching

falsehood. For example, many people today are unaware that Egyptian

civilization predates that of Rome by thousands of years because they have

erroneously been presented as contemporaneous, yet Roman civilization had not

even begun when Pyramid building stopped in Egypt around the 14th Dynasty.

Worse, most people still do not know that there are more pyramids in Sudan than

in Egypt, or that this is where this style of architecture originated. In fact, the

civilization of Nubia (Sudan) predates that of Egypt... Since most of our people

are unaware of the importance Sudan in our history the impending catastrophe

which the proposed Kajbar Dam represents leaves them totally indifferent. This

dam, just like in Egypt with the building of the Aswan Dam will erase forever all of

Africa's ancient history in the Sudan, thus making this knowledge inaccessible to

future generations of African people.

Today, because of these distortions most black people are totally ignorant about

their true history. Instead of teaching African children that their ancestors, the

ancient Egyptians, were the true builders of civilization, (the pyramids, obelisks

and temples still stand as proof today), they were taught that it was the Greeks

and Romans. Instead of being told that Imhotep the Egyptian was the father of

medicine, they were taught that it was Hippocrates. Instead of being taught about

the first universities founded by their ancestors in Timbuktu and Djenne in Mali,

they were taught that Africans were an oral people who knew nothing about

writing. Instead of being taught about the great Shona civilization of Zimbabwe

that built a city bigger than London or the artistic genius of the Nok civilization of

Nigeria, they were told that their homeland was a “dark” continent, where their

primitive, savage, ancestors roamed the wild jungles from morn till night

practicing cannibalism and that luckily, God sent kind-hearted and charitable

European Christians (Tarzan) to civilize them and to teach them his word in order

to save them from themselves. To add insult to injury, they invented a racial

hierarchy with themselves at the top, and Africans at the bottom and justified it by

saying they were “god‟s chosen people” and therefore superior and that God had

given them „a land overflowing with milk and honey‟, (Africa) while our ancestors

were heathen, devil worshipers who God himself had cursed and therefore we

deserved to be their slaves. These vicious lies continue to be believed by millions

of people, both black and white and is one of the reasons for the rampant and

chronic racism in our societies today. Today whites continue to promote African

genius as their own. For example, African people invented rock and rap but it is

Elvis Presley who is known as the king of rock and roll while Eminem became the

first rapper to win an Oscar. Likewise, Bill Gates has become a household name

and a millionaire but without the genius of Dr. Mark Dean and Dr.Philip Emeagali,

two African scientists, the computer would not have become accessible to the

masses of people on the planet today.

This was how the theft of African civilization, the brainwashing and the

miseducation of African children and African people took place. If their plan has

been so successful it is because they knew that in order to succeed they would

have to target African children at a very early age. They, like our ancestors,

understood that if you „train up a child in the way that you want it to go, when it is

old it will not depart from it‟ and that is why from the beginning of slavery, African

children were divested of their names and their languages. Furthermore, to

submit Africans to their authority, they used religion to terrify African children by

teaching them the fictitious story of the bible, plagiarized from the Egyptian

Osirian myth, as fact. This story promised African children a life of suffering (hell)

if they were disobedient to their master, (the slave master, not a supreme being

as many black people mistakenly believe) but heavenly wealth after death if they

obeyed.(paradise)

The real tragedy is that this distorted African story that generations of black

children were forced to memorize, continue to be taken literally by millions of

African people around the globe, who have spent their entire lives waiting for this

ancient Superman named Jesus Christ to burst through the clouds and deliver

them from evildoers. The tragic irony is that today it is African people, the victims,

who are keeping this religion which was forcefully imposed upon our children

during slavery, alive. They are its most fanatical adherents in contrast to their

oppressors own people who have long since stopped believing in this myth.

Reparations can never ever compensate for the incalculable damage this myth

has caused to millions of African people who have literally put their lives on hold

in our world because they sincerely believe that only after death will they truly

begin to live.

The Western educational system therefore will always produce dysfunctional

African children because having committed the most horrendous crime on this

planet and lied about it they are forced to continue. Their propaganda machine

must continue to make African people believe in the fantasy of the bible, believe

that whites are superior, that western civilization is better than their own, believe

they must fight in the illegal wars waged by the West all around the planet,

believe that Africa is a continent without a future, believe Africa is poor, believe

that poverty, injustice and exploitation has always existed in our world, believe

that Africa is facing a demographic explosion (overpopulation) and dying from

Aids (depopulation) at the same time (an illogical equation), believe they must

work hard to promote Western interests and all the other fantasies which our

people accept as fact which are too numerous to mention here. This is the

reason their media feed our children negative information 24 hours a day that is

designed to sap their energy, destroy their confidence, intensify their feelings of

worthlessness and self hatred and increase their admiration for the West. The

goal is to make every African child a Michael Jackson This is the strategic

destruction of the African psyche that the West has put into place and why it is

important that African parents and the African community understand these

negative forces which are working to destroy our children in order to delay the

liberation of African people.

This is also the reason they treat us in the most despicable manner. We suffer

the worst health, live in the most horrible conditions imaginable, are the most

disrespected and abused people and do not live life as it should be lived. That is

why black churchgoers often say „we are only passing through‟ in this world.

What else can they say considering the lives that most of our people lead? On

the other hand, Westerners live comfortably, eat properly, enjoy good health and

live long and happy lives. In short, they are alive while we are dead because they

have killed us. But we can be resurrected by erasing them from our minds in the

same way that they erased African history from ours. This is what I believe Dr

Kamau Kambon was trying to get across when he said 2 years ago that “the

solution to the black man‟s problem was the white man‟s extermination”. Many

people in their ignorance thought he meant the physical extermination of white

people. It is ludicrous to think he was talking about their physical elimination

since the West has weapons which can annihilate every single African person on

the planet. What he obviously meant was that in order for African people to come

out of their comatose, zombied state and lead happy and fulfilling lives, they must

kill the white man metaphorically, mentally by replacing his lies with the truth.

The West will never willingly admit the truth because they have too much to lose.

They would have to admit the theft of African civilization, the mass murder of

African people and the perpetuation of lies. Furthermore it would raise too many

questions. For example, if the Bible is fiction, then who are its real authors? Is it

true that Shakespeare was one of its writers and that is why he is known as the

most famous writer ever? If there are no chosen people, then who are the people

in Israel parading as Jews? Why have they been placed there? Why does the

USA defend them so stubbornly? What is the real purpose of the pope? What

information are they hiding in the Vatican? What have they done with the

information they took out of Africa? What really happened during the Second

World War? Who was Hitler? Why did the church protect neo-Nazis? That would

raise more questions about the recent past such as, who really destroyed the

world trade centre building on September 11th. Why was it destroyed? Who is

Ben Laden? Why have they been unable to find him, although seriously ill? Does

he really exist? Why did the West lie about the war in Kuwait? Why was the world

made to believe that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction when

he didn‟t? Why was he killed? What is the real reason behind the so called war

on terrorism? Why are they now picking on Iran? What are they hiding? Who can

tell us the truth? These questions and a million more is what the Western world

would rather not have to answer African people and the rest of the world after

500 years of telling them nothing but lies.

On the internet under the bible story about the stolen birthright this is the warning

that you will read “It never pays to tell a lie. Once you tell a lie you must tell

another, and another to cover up the first lie. Not only will all these lies catch up

with you, but they can cause you many troubles, just like it did for Jacob and

Rebecca”. That is what the West has done but their lies are catching up with

them and they will have to pay the consequences. We must no longer allow the

West to claim African civilization as their own because our ancestors spent

millions of years painstakingly observing, collecting, recording, creating and

preserving it for us, their heirs, to allow Western bullies who refused to do the

same for their people to simply come along, steal it and claim it as their own

simply because they had more advanced weapons than our ancestors. .More

and more African people are only just beginning to realize this. We must tell the

truth. We must reclaim our pyramids, our obelisks, our medicine, mathematics,

astronomy, physics, writing, our administration, our laws and our concepts. We

must reclaim the famous 10 commandments which we have been taught god

gave to a man named Moses. They come from Africa and there are 42 of them

Page 15: Black Child Development Under White Supremacy-Dr. Amos Wilson-Audio Lecture

which our ancestors called the MAAT (the divine principles of peace, harmony,

balance and justice) while the West calls them the „negative confessions.‟ Even

the very cross that the church uses is African. It‟s called the „Ankh.‟ We must

study African history to find out what our ancestors left for us and every single

concept or object that they invented we must take back. Our ancestors demand

that we reclaim our birthright that was stolen from us.

We will know that our people have reclaimed their birthright when African people

want to study and receive diplomas from African schools and universities rather

than those in the West, when African people want to work for African companies

rather than western multinationals, when our young men and women especially

our famous people want to marry African people rather than European men and

women, when African parents prefer to give their children African looking dolls

rather than European ones, when African people stop bleaching their skin

because they prefer their own, when they prefer to give their children African

names rather than European ones, when they prefer to pray to an African god

rather than a European one, when Africans reject the warmongering religions of

their enemies and return to the religions of their ancestors, when they feel

empathy and compassion for African people first before they feel them for

Europeans, when they love Africans first before loving Europeans, when Africans

want to use their resources to develop and improve the lives of their people first

before the lives of Europeans, when Africans set up their own economic system,

their own political system, their own laws and their own currency rather than

continue to use those of the West, when they remove the artificial borders

created by the west and return to Africa‟s natural borders, when they want

African languages to be the official languages of Africa and teach them to their

children rather than those of the West, when African men stop Europeans and

Arabs from sexually abusing and enslaving African women and children, when

Africans stop saying „they don‟t see color‟ and are proud to be Africans, when

African people want to defend Africa before they defend the West, and finally,

when they want to study African history before they study the history of the west.

This is what our ancestors did because this is how normal human beings behave.

This is also what the Japanese, the Indians and the Jews that our community

admires so much actually do and is the secret of their success. This is why they

seem so unified and organized as a people.

We don‟t behave like them because Europeans did not tamper with their normal

behavior patterns in order to subjugate them and use them to further Western

interests. How do you think they were able to conquer Africa and bring us to the

West to be their servants so that most of us today only want „to live in peace and

harmony with our enemies?‟ Do you think it was by whispering sweet words in

our ears? It was by exterminating 600 million Africans and turning us into

abnormal human beings. That is the price that our ancestors paid and our people

continue to pay for the theft of our land, our wealth and our subjugation. Their

propaganda has made us believe that the worst holocaust on this planet was in

Page 16: Black Child Development Under White Supremacy-Dr. Amos Wilson-Audio Lecture

February 4, 2011

Why and How the African Child is

Miseducated in the Western Educational System Page 16

Nazi Germany where 8 million died. In fact, we need to find out the real reason

why they have poked that down our throats. The Iranian president Ahmadinejad

has said that “the Jewish holocaust is a myth” and other people who have raised

questions about this are immediately sent to prison or accused of antisemetism,

however, considering that we have been taught nothing but lies during the last

500 years, we should be very suspicious of every single thing that we have been

told. Why do they want to start a war in Iran today and remove Ahmadinejad?

Does he know too much? What exactly do they not want the world to know? Why

did they kill Saddam Hussein so quickly? I‟m sure it has nothing to do with the

death of the Kurds. We should want to know the answers to these questions.

That is why each person of African descent must become a modern day sleuth to

find out exactly what happened on this planet.

All the aberrations that we see in our community and which makes us so

fragmented and disorganized is a result of this horrendous crime. It is this “slave

mentality” which has been passed down from generation to generation which

makes us behave in such self destructive ways although slavery was abolished

years ago. The only way for African people to stop to behaving unnaturally is to

learn how that process took place, to talk about it and then to make a conscious

effort to practice the above mentioned behavior, but we cannot heal if we

continue to deny that we were intentionally made to behave in an abnormal

manner by our enemy because it was the only way to subjugate us and to steal

our land and our wealth.. In a war, you do whatever is necessary to destroy your

adversary and that is what Europe did.

Finally, when we become Africans again most of us will want to live in Africa

rather than in the West. This is the nightmare of the western world as it means

they will lose their entire low paid labor force which they have depended on for

the last 500 years. Can you imagine the economic catastrophe that will take

place in the West when African people wake up from their anesthesia and decide

to return home to Africa? Who will cook their food, look after their children, clean

their homes and their streets, and provide their entertainment? Who will provide

jobs for their police, their judges, their sociologists, their teachers, and etcetera?

Who will buy their products? Who will they abuse, brutalize murder and rape with

impunity when we leave? How many Jenna 6‟s do you think they will have when

we go back to Africa? Who will fill up their prisons? Who will do all the jobs that

African people have done for them during the last 500 years? In short, who will

become their new slaves when we decide to return home to Africa? The Asians?

The Arabs? I doubt it. That is why the return to Africa must be handled with

extreme caution because African people are in grave danger of being re-

enslaved when they finally come out of their daze and decide to return home.

This is what the end of Western civilization means. It‟s not about some

Superman coming out of the skies, that‟s what their propaganda would like you to

continue believing. In spite of all the propaganda about the laziness of African

people, it is our labor and our ignorance that has kept the West strong for so long

and it is only African people who can destroy what is erroneously known as

western civilization? If Africans around the globe decide tomorrow not to work,

the western economy will collapse overnight, but propaganda has made us

believe that without the West nothing can function on this planet. Wall Street and

the City are only betting shops where you place your bet; if the horse and the

jockey don‟t run (world wide African labor force refuses to work) there will be no

race. (no profits for Western investors) It was our capacity for hard work why

Europeans exterminated the Amerindians of the new world and brought us to be

their servants. They were familiar with our workmanship. They admired our

temples, our obelisks, our pyramids, etc, while they were unfamiliar with the

workmanship of the people of the new world. That is why our lives have been

spared. It‟s not because they want to live in „peace and harmony with us.‟ It‟s

because we are their workhorses.

What will the West replace African civilization and African people with when our

people finally decide to bring their oppressive system to an end? What will be the

reaction of the masses of white people when they find out that what they have

believed to be their civilization for the last 500 years is nothing more than the

civilization of African people which their ancestors stole, since they too have

been kept in total ignorance of the truth? What will their reaction be when their

shame is exposed to the entire planet? Their ancestors wrote down in their

guidebook, the bible, what the consequences will be when the truth is finally

revealed and their crime exposed to the whole world. “There will be weeping and

gnashing of teeth”. It will be painful, as the truth always is.

Do you now understand why the Miseducation of the black child is so important

and why the West has spent so many centuries ensuring that black children

believe western propaganda. How were African people to know that somewhere

in their development the Aryan (white) race became lazy and decided to adopt a

“get rich quick” mentality without having to “lift a straw” This is a criticism which is

often directed at young people in our society today, however, isn‟t this the

essence of western society? Isn‟t this how the West got rich? Once again

propaganda has made us believe that it is due to hard work that the West is

wealthy today, when in reality it is because African people have been working

and are still working to enrich them. This also demonstrates the absolute power

of propaganda which is to „make people believe that which is not true.‟ In fact,

western society is nothing more than a vast propaganda machine. The motto of

the Europeans became “war means wealth, peace means poverty.” They

decided to wage war and enslave and exploit each other in order to acquire this

wealth, and eventually when they came into contact with the peaceful peoples of

the New World, Africa and the Pacific Islands it was very easy for them to

accomplish their goal.

Before the racist government in South Africa bludgeoned Steve Biko to death, he

stated that “the most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of

the oppressed.” That is exactly why the West from the very beginning of slavery

and colonialism targeted African children and never left their education in the

hands of African people? It is through the educational system they have been

able to organize our children‟s education around their interests and goals in

detriment to our own in order to maintain their control. The time has come for our

community to educate African children according to the goals and aspirations of

African people. African parents must teach their children the true history of Africa

because only when they do, will they want to promote our interests and not the

interests of others. Promoting the interests of African people is one of the

greatest fears of the western world because they know that when people feel

confident and good about themselves it is very difficult to manipulate and control

them, and that is the reason they have always ensured that African children

receive an inferior quality of education which denigrate their motherland and the

achievements of their people.

In conclusion, there is a macabre ritual which takes place after every general

election in the industrialized countries which have nuclear weapons. The

outgoing and the incoming president are left alone for 15 minutes as they share a

secret code which only the president has access to. According to the theory,

when there are no other options left, the president will simply type in the secret

code, press a button and release nuclear weapons which can obliterate almost

the entire planet. In their bible, the West has already told us what their solution

will be when the end comes, and their world falls apart .This ritual is a warning to

African people that if we do not want this planet obliterated by people who have

never had any respect whatsoever for human life, we do not have another instant

to lose. Professor Wilson warned us before he died that our days on this planet

are numbered if African people refuse to make the strategic decisions and the

right choices required today.

That is why there must be a complete paradigm shift in the way of thinking in the

African communities around the world. And that paradigm shift will only come

when our people have the right information. It is my hope that this article will

contribute in some small way to helping African people and especially African

parents get the right information in order to save our children and hasten the end

of the unfair western capitalist system. Black parents must understand that an

African centred education is an absolute necessity for African children if we are

to offset the damage from the slave school which we now know was never

intended to educate African children to become wholesome, functioning

members of society in the first place.

We should already be preparing to restore the African system that our ancestors

left us in its untainted form after the coming tsunami has passed since it is

undoubtedly one of the best that humans have ever invented. In other words, the

New World Order. It was Africa‟s genius which attracted her oppressors to her

shores, it was her tremendous wealth and the genius of her people why they

were enslaved, and it will be the genius of African people again that will liberate

them from Western tyranny and bring peace back to this planet. That is why it is

no accident that Africans were the first inhabitants of this planet.

This article is dedicated to the memory of George G.M James author of Stolen

Legacy who paid the ultimate price because he dared to tell African people the

truth and to my nieces and nephews generation, who are soon to be or are

already parents, so that their children do not grow up as ignorant as my

generation and their generation were concerning the history of African people

and of the world.
