OUR GLORIOUS CONTAFRIKAPAST UNDER SIEGE

OUR CONTAFRIKAPAST UNDER ATTACK or THE CRISIS OF KEEPING CONTAFRIKANS IGNORANT OF THEIR GLORIOUS CONTAFRIKAPAST ; By (c) 2012 by Prof. Afrikadzata Deku, Docteur d'Etat; Doctorat d'Etat (PhD); AFRIKALION@AOL.COM ;

For a long time, Continental Afrikans in Continental/Diaspora Afrika have been deliberately deprived and are still being deprived of the Truth about themselves and their glorious Continental Afrikan Past.

For a long time, everything has been done and is still being done to hide from them the historic fact that Continental Afrika, their Home, is the cradle of Humanity and Mother of today's world civilizations and cultures.

Today, about 98 percent of today's Continental/Diaspora Afrikans have been programmed into believing in the slave/colonial LIES that Continental Afrika, their origin, was and is still "a dark continent," "savage," "uncivilized," "barbaric," "inferior," "underdeveloped," that must be "civilized," "developed," "saved," or "helped" by others.

The deliberate distortion or total ignorance of our glorious Continental AfrikaPast explains why consciously or unconsciously, the majority of Continental/Diaspora Afrikans prefer the "white" or Arab or Jewish worlds, religions, names, materialism etc to their Continental Afrikan World.

As far as they are concerned, the Foreign World is civilized, developed and better than our Ancient/Traditional Continental Afrika.

In Continental Afrika, for example, colonialism has done everything to program Continental Afrikans to look down upon their Continental AfrikaPast and History as unworthy of serious studies or preservation.

While we are taught the history of the Western, Arab and Jewish Worlds which came out of Continental Afrika in a very glorious and positive light, nothing or very little is taught on our glorious Continental AfrikaPast as the Origin, the Parents, Civilizers, Developers and Educators of the Western, Arab and Jewish Worlds which are de-Afrikanizing us today and turning s us into Non-Afrikan or Self-ignorant Continental Afrikans who prefer others to ourselves as Continental Afrikans.

Even after our so-called paper "independence," the bulk of our curriculum in all western-created and controlled countries in Continental Afrika remains still Euro-centric in content and perspective.

We thought the curriculum will automatically become Continental AfrikaCentric in focus because the white curriculum designers and implementors have been replaced by "Afrikan" curriculum designers and implementors.

But as long as the training and mentality of our present “African" educators remain essentially Euro-centric or Arab-centric or Jewish-centric or PRO-FOREIGN AND ANTI-AFRIKAN in content and perspective, Continental/Diaspora Afrikan students will continue to be kept ignorant of their glorious Continental AfrikaPast and History.

That is why, up to the time I came to Europe/USA I was not taught neither did I know I came from a Glorious Continental AfrikaPast and History as Pyramid Builders.

None of the four “African" universities I attended in Continental Afrika (English and French) told or taught me this fundamental Truth of my Continental Afrikan Past.

Instead, we were only taught the 'glorious” history of colonialism that mostly glorified and praised the "courage," "vision" and "good works" of European "explorers," "missionaries," and "colonizers."

While at the same time they condemn and vilify the wonderful and brave resistance of all Afrikan leaders and people against the invaders as "evil," "treacherous," "anti-civilization," "anti-progress" or “ Terrorism “ that must be uprooted by them for the good of ' civilization”

As far as colonial masters and their present political, economic and social puppets in Continental Afrika are concerned, before colonialism, Continental Afrika had no history. Everything in Continental Afrika was total darkness, ignorance and barbarism. Without their colonialism or their coming to Continental Afrika, we were repeatedly taught, Continental Afrika would still be a continent without history. Which is a big lie. But in which most brainwashed "educated” Africans spelt with a “c” believe up till now.

Even when some "educated” Africans in the French speaking Continental AfrikaWorld like President Senghor and Aime Cesaire gave birth and led the Movement of Negritude in Paris, they saw the discovery and return to their hidden Continental AfrikaPast as an end rather than as a means.

This explains why up till now, Aime Cesaire's country is still part of France and of which Cesaire is a Mayor.

Senghor on the other hand, is now serving in the French Academy in defense of the French Language and Culture. This means it is not enough to re-discover our glorious Continental Afrikan Past.

We must be able to use the knowledge of our Glorious Continental AfrikaPast to solve our present crisis as Continental Afrikans.

To study our Past for the sake of studying it is nothing but an exercise in futility. In the same way, spending all our energies on our Past or merely talking about it without concrete actions or result is also a waste of time.

Western-created and controlled countries in continental Afrika remain still Euro-centric in content and perspective. We thought the curriculum will automatically become AfrikaCentric in focus because the white curriculum designers and implementors have been replaced by "African" curriculum designers and implementors.

But as long as the training and mentality of our present "African" educators remain essentially Euro-centric in content and perspective, today's Continental/Diaspora Afrikan students will continue to be kept ignorant of their glorious Continental Afrikan Past and History.
