DEATH OF AFRIKAEDUCATION IN DIASPORA AFRIKA

DEATH OF AFRIKAEDUCATION IN DIASPORA AFRIKA or THE CRISIS OF PROGRAMMING THE MAJORITY OF DIASPORA AFRIKANS TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES THE FOREIGN WAYS RATHER THAN THE AFRIKAWAY , By (c) 2012 by Prof. Afrikadzata Deku, Docteur d'Etat; Doctorat d'Etat (PhD);

While in Continental Afrika , only 30% of Afrikans have become addicted to Foreign styles education they call their own , in the Diaspora Afrika, about 99% of Afrikans in White USA, Europe, the Arab world , South America and Islands have been uprooted from and kept ignorant of the Power and Benefits of EDUCATING THEMSELVES THE AFRIKAWAY instead of the Foreign ways they call education .

After four hundred years of persistent programming and brainwashing, the majority of Afrikans living in the Diaspora are suffering from educational enslavement and colonialism for the loss of their AfrikaEducation they have no clue about ..

Not only are they dead to all knowledge , power and benefits of educating themselves the AfrikaWay and not the Foreign ways, they do not have the least interest, desire, will or power to recover it.

As far as they are concerned, they have accepted the "white" man's lie that education is education, it has no color. It is universal. It is neutral.

Hence, to talk to them about Afrikan education for them to enjoy or about the need for them to have their own Afrikacentric Afrikan education instead of their present Euro-centric, Arab-centric and Christian-centric forms of education they call their own , is like telling them a stone can have a child.

So tragically, for the 99 percent Diaspora Afrikans in USA, South America,

Caribbean, and Europe education for them is Foreign Styles education instead of Afrika Style education which they know little or nothing of .

They define it the way the "white" white Man has programmed them to define it. They interpret it and teach it the way they have been programmed for 400 years to interpret and teach it.

Briefly, 99 percent of Diaspora Afrikans see, think, speak and practice education with the "white" man's eyes and from the white man's perspective

Like the "white" man, education to them is going to White man's Style college, getting White man degrees, getting White ma's good job, earning a lot of White man's money, owning and enjoying the House style house with a swimming pool, a White man's car with powerful sound system, colored televisions, nice dresses etc.

But we as well as they know education is more than material possessions. But as long as they hold on to the illusions and lie of the "white" Man education, all they can get is an alien education which is not meant to serve the needs and fulfill the wants and aspirations of the Diaspora Afrikans.

That is why the more they rely on the Foreign education to solve their problems in the "white" man's world, the more frustrated, the more disappointed and confused they become.

Because the Foreign education they have been programmed to accept as their own was and is still designed to teach them everything positive about others, especially the "white" Man and nothing or only the negative about themselves.

With the result that Diaspora Afrika is plagued with enormous educational crisis that has no parallel in human history.

All because Diaspora Afrikans have become the only people or Afrikans on earth without their own Afrikan education to teach them who they are, where they came from, why they are what they are and what they must do collectively as Afrikan people all over the Diaspora Afrika to recover their forgotten and glorious Continental Afrikan Past, History, Root, Identity, Oneness, Heritage, Values, Customs and Traditions outside their Ancestral Continental AfrikaHome .

Foreign education no matter pro-status quo reforms after reforms cannot teach Diaspora Afrikans what they need and want to know about themselves as Afrikans and not as Photocopies of the White man in USA or Europe .

Simply because Foreign education can only teach Diaspora Afrikans , Western glory and power and not Continental Afrikan Glory and Power.

For , Foreign education does not know or is not interested in teaching Diaspora Afrikans anything positive about them as Afrikans living in the Diaspora .

It can only teach them Foreign power, Foreign superiority, Foreign glory and ignorance or lies of their Glorious Continental AfrikaPast

That is why it is called Foreign education. That is, education which slave/colonially created and neo-colonially preserved , protected and promoted to turn Afrikans in the Diaspora into perpetual PHOTOCOPIES of the White Man or Western ways of life at the expense of their own Ancestral AfrikaEducation and Training which alone can empower them to be Afrikacentric Afrikans in Thoughts, Words and Deeds .

So, to expect all the various forms of Foreign styles education to serve the needs of Diaspora Afrikans in USA, Europe, South America or Caribbean for example, is like expecting a dog to give birth to an orange or a tree.

And yet, the majority of Diaspora Afrikans still believe White man style and based and oriented education can make them educated, successful, proud, and prosperous in life.

That is why most if not all Diaspora Afrikans still think, believe and accept the slave and colonial lie that their only salvation in life depends on how many White man or Foreign degrees they have, what kind of job they have, what kind of bank account they possess and what kind of material possessions they have at their command.

To them the worst tragedy that can befall them is the lack of "white" man's education.

So, the more they have the "white" man's education, the more they think their problems in life will be over.

The ten percent Few of them who are without the White man education or degrees or nice job or big fat account or big cars or big houses etc are called the drop-out, the lost, the unemployable, the uneducated, the unintelligent, the illiterates, etc.

That is why there is no Diaspora Afrikan father, mother or child who does not dream of the "white" man's education as the key to a better life, prosperity and success in life.

There is not a soul of them who does not see a Western style college education as the passport they need to be in heaven in USA, Europe, South America and Caribbean.

How many times have we not heard Diaspora Afrikans sighing or regretting: "If only I got a college degree, everything would have been alright!"

How may times have we not heard the "white" powers and their Yes-master photocopies and gatekeepers and honorable Messengers say to us:

"You are suffering because you have no college degree or no Job or no money or no house or no material things etc”

And yet after 400 years in the "white" man's world, the majority of Diaspora Afrikans still do not have the college degree or the big job and fat salary or the financial freedom they have been promised and which they call the “ American Dream “ which is still air in their hands , no matter how hard they try to succeed in life .

The about 30% FEW who have attained the American Dream of Material life, discover at the end , the painful truths that nor Foreign education can only:

1) make then inferior and not equal to the "white" man,

2) teach them nothing about themselves as Afrikans in the Diaspora but everything about others,

3) deprive them of positive self-knowledge, self-pride, self-acceptance, self-love, self-appreciation, self-belief, self-trust, self-confidence, self-determination, self-mastery and self-fulfillment without which all else is no education but miseducation or misinformation.

They also discover at the end of their "white" man's education that the information, knowledge and skills they acquire are not relevant to their needs and wants in life as Afrikan people.

They can only use them in "white" Man world to strengthen the "white" Man power as the "white" man's assistants, assistants and assistants or Honorable Messengers .

They become dependent on the "white" man's systems, institutions, jobs, salaries, money and material goods, without which they are told they will

be nothing.
So through Foreign education the Afrikan Value , Worth and Importance of a whole Diaspora Afrikan people have been reduced to education for money and material possessions and without self-knowledge .

Education for their outside well-being and success is all that matters.

As long as they use their "white" man's degrees, knowledge, expertise and degrees for the profit of the "white" Man and his world, they are rewarded with the White man's Crumbs or surpluses or leftovers which they hail and die for as success .

In this way, Foreign educated Diaspora Afrikans end up in reaping the tragic result of a one-sided, alien, partial, incomplete, irrelevant, and dangerous brainwashing and mind control and programming called Foreign education or college education and degrees.

This explains why many are the Foreign educated Diaspora Afrikans who are rich outside but poor inside.

They pretend to have everything going for them but deep down inside them, they know they are totally empty, restless, frustrated, powerless, helpless, hopeless and dissatisfied.

Living becomes acting. Life becomes perpetual war and struggle with no time, energy and desire for things that last and really matter in life - children, family, love, sharing, honesty, sincerity, justice, etc. that money or nothing can replace or buy .

They also learn with utter shock and disappointment that college degrees are not a sign of intelligence.

Their Westernized world is full of so many ignorant PhDs.

They also learn at the end of it all that mere acquisition of a mountain of Foreign based information, knowledge and skills in itself is not education.

Ending up being a parrot, a photocopy or puppet of the "white" Man is the surest way to their suffocation and death as Afrikans.

They also discover that education that cannot teach them the basics of education: who they are, where they came from etc. is no education but miseducation .

That, no matter how many "white" man's degrees or money or material possessions they have , without the knowledge and pride of their Glorious Continental AfrikaPast, Origin, History, Heritage, Culture, Values etc. as Afrikans in the Diaspora to which they are dead or uprooted from or ignorant of .

In fact, that is what education is in the first. Not skills. Not information for information's sake. Not knowledge for knowledge's sake.

True education is the acquisition of positive information, knowledge and skills about oneself, one's own people, community, people, history, power and values.

That is why every group of Humanity has their own education systems to unify, empower, strengthen, motivate, inspire and make them useful, productive, proud, honest, sincere, kind, loving and just.

It is only today's Western, Arab or Jewish-educated and trained Continental/Diaspora Afrikans who are told by slavery and colonialism that they need no education of their own to be great, prosperous and happy in life.

And the trillion-dollar question is why are the majority of disappointed Foreign educated Diaspora Afrikans still sending their children to the "white" man's school instead of designing and running their own Afrikacentered or Afrikacentric educational system and institutions, curricula , teachers and positive Afrikan environment which alone can nourish and sustain their own created Afrikacentric education, training, knowledge and know-how for their benefit as Reborn and Awakened Afrikans in Diaspora Afrika in White America, Europe and elsewhere

And the answer is because 99% of them lack or have been uprooted from and kept ignorant of their AfrikaIdentity, Power and Means to live happily and prosperously and happily as Afrikans in White USA, Europe, Arab world and elsewhere .

So, naturally, 99% of them have lost their power and desire of creating anything Afrikan that will unify and empower them as Afrikans they want to be or have no desire in getting back .

Four hundred years of repeated brainwashing have robbed them of the Afrikacentric awareness and knowledge they need to know that not only it is their Right to their own Afrikan Education System instead of the Foreign education they receiving but also they are capable of creating and running and benefiting from the Power of their Afrikacentric AfrikaEducation which alone can serve their needs and make them proud as Afrikans Abroad.

Besides, many of them have taken the chaff (Western education for them) for the grain (Afrikan education) because it is easier to say yes than no to oppression.

It is easier to follow, to accept and do the best of what they can get from the "white" man's tables (crumbs) rather than make their own loaves.

Not that Diaspora Afrikans do not know how to make loaves.

For four hundred years, all they do is to make bigger and bigger LOAVES with their Tears, Blood and Sweat but not for themselves but for their "white" masters, visible and the invisible ones.

They are all trained and educated the Foreign ways so as to make them make gladly , willingly and zealously all the Loaves the White Man needs and wants to remain master over them and to prevent them from knowing how to make all the LOAVES they need as Afrikans and free from the invisible political, economic and social crumbs, leftovers and surpluses they are programmed to hail and die for as their “ redemption, success, progress, change in White America they call their home .

Also, they have been brainwashed into believing that they cannot make the same loaves they have been making for the benefits of the "white" Man for themselves .

Hence, they make the loaves for others and fight for or beg for crumbs from the masters' table.

And also because most of them have lost their Afrikan faith, awareness and power to educate themselves the AfrikaWay which will empower them from inside out to make all the Loaves they need for their Enjoyment as Afrikans.

This explains why the majority of disappointed Foreign educated Diaspora Afrikans can only talk of reforming the Foreign education that has done so much to instill and perpetuate in them a lot of Self-ignorance, identity crisis, self-hatred, self-rejection, low self-esteem, negative self-image, hopelessness, helplessness, confusion, restlessness, emptiness due to lack of positive knowledge, information and skills about themselves and their glorious Continental Afrikan Past, History, Identity, Heritage , Culture and Values.

And the more they beg the "white" establishment for more reforms in their "white" created and "white" controlled educational system, the more disappointed , frustrated and resigned they become at discovering the painful truth that no matter how many reforms the White Man does of his Foreign education for his African Americans or Blacks living under the White Man's invisible Domination , Control and Exploitation , their present Foreign education they follow can only be Western-centered and oriented and never Afrikacentric.

Trying to Afrikanize a Foreign style or based Education for the Diaspora Afrikan is like trying to get water out of the Stone or it is like asking the Leopard to change his skin into a lion skin .

And neither can it satisfy their needs as Afrikans. And yet they lack the courage, vision, power and awareness to reject the Foreign education for their own designed Afrikan education that alone can offer the relevant and badly needed and long-overdue Afrikacentric education, knowledge, information and skills they need and want to know, have and to be what they must be as full-fledged Reborn and Awakened Afrikans Abroad.

However and luckily , there are few brave attempts on the part of some visionary Diaspora Afrikans who called for "Black" or "Negro" or "Afro" or Afro-centric or African-American" educational systems, institutions, curricula , policies, teachers and students as a way of liberating Diaspora Afrikans from their present invisible Foreign educational colonialism they call their own .

These efforts resulted in the creation and management of what is called predominantly Black-owned and Black-operated schools, colleges, universities, banks, companies, churches etc.

But these Black systems, institutions in the "white" man's world of USA, Europe, etc. cannot and are not enough to bring about the Afrikacentric educational freedom, independence, autonomy, power and prosperity Diaspora Afrikans desperately need and are entitled to by right because they are nothing but mere photocopies or counterfeits of "white" or Foreign systems, institutions and policies.

Most if not all of these Black-owned and Black-operated colleges, universities, schools, churches, banks and companies and businesses still are in one way of the other dependent on the "white" world and powers for financial support or aid, social recognition, respectability, approval and rewards.

Their 400 years of slave and colonial and neo-colonial mentalities cannot allow them to know they are as intelligent and as capable as the "white" Man to create, operate and prosper from the power of their own Afrikacentric Education and Training that will empower and set them free , once and for all, from the Hell of their invisible Foreign Domination, Control, Influence and Exploitation they have been programmed to hail and die for as their own .

As far as most of these "Black"/African American owned and "Black"/African American operated colleges, universities, churches, banks and businesses are concerned, they can do nothing outside or without the "white" world and powers.

That is why to 99% of our today's Foreignized Diaspora Afrikans , it is unthinkable or unimaginable or suicide for them to be told to break away from their beloved Westernized or Arabanized or Christianized worlds .

But the more they rely on the "white" world and powers for support and success in life, the more "white" or Westernized their "Black"/African American institutions, systems and policies become.

This explains why education in most if not all the predominantly Black colleges and universities in USA or Europe, etc., (in spite of their good intention and sacrifices) remains predominantly "white" in origin, content, form and implementation.

Shocking though this might be to some, it is the fact.

These "Black" institutions, systems, policies, leaders and people are only "Black" in name or outside but "white" inside the mind.

Simply because "Black" owned and "Black" operated institutions, systems, policies and leaders exist and kept alive to produce or manufacture or turn Full Blooded Afrikans into a Non-Afrikan who are masters of everything Foreign but totally ignorant of the Power and Enormous Benefits of their Continental Afrikan Identity, Oneness, Togetherness, Power, Education, Development, Riches, Happiness , Pride and Dignity in life

Hence, for them to be totally Afrikacentric Afrikan from Head to toe, they need not Foreign but Afrikacentric Educational and Training Institutions to educate and train them the AFRIKAWAY as opposed to the White man's way or the Arab ways or the Christian ways and which alone can make them Reborn, Awakened, Conscious, Unified, United, Empowered, Liberated, Developed, Prosperous, Happy, Proud, Dignified and Fulfilled Continental Afrikans at Home and Abroad as Self-Reliant, Self-Sufficient, Self-Sustainable Human Beings on earth and no more as Photocopies of others .

In the same way, it is not enough to reform or " Afrikanize" curriculums of Western education for Diaspora Afrikans to benefit from it as some Diaspora Afrikan scholars and leaders to think and advocate for .

All because, curriculum of a Foreign education can only de-Afrikanize us or turn us into the photocopies of those whose Foreign education and training systems we have become dependent on, enslaved by and addicted to .

To try to design and operate Afrikacentric curriculum in a predominantly "white" or Arab or Christian environments, worlds, systems, institution, policies and values is like expecting drinking water from a stone.

The truth of the matter is curriculum of Foreign education is designed by "white" to satisfy and protect "white" needs, wants and goals in Afrika and No amount of raising hell by Foreign educated Diaspora Afrikan scholars and leaders can change this fact.

Hence, any attempt to Afrikanize or infuse "Black" " or African American" culture, history, values or ways of life into a predominantly "white" or Islam or Christian education, training, curriculum, controlled by Foreign powers and their gatekeepers in their Foreignized worlds, systems, institutions, to say the least, is to play the "white" Man game based on the lie that Continental Afrikans cannot design, operate, succeed and benefit from their own Afrikan created, Afrikan centered and controlled curriculums to do for them what their Foreign style or based education, training and curricula or education cannot do or is not interested in doing for them as Continental Afrikans.

Planting Afrikacentric curriculum into "white" controlled curricula and expect it to change anything in the "white" system is like expecting a tree to give birth to fish or a dog.

Besides, one cannot talk of Continental AfrikaCentric curriculum in a tie.

Neither can one call for Continental Afrikan curriculum in a "white" Man language, bearing the "white" Man name, wearing the "white" Man suit, etc.

That means, we are still the "white" man's creation manufactured in the "white" man's educational factories called schools, colleges and universities to serve the "white" man's needs rather than our Continental Afrikan Needs, Interests and Causes in life .

And once we are willing to stand up and be counted and as well as pay the price in becoming once again the proud and free Reborn and Awakened Continental Afrikacentered, based and oriented Leaders, Scholars, Elite, Students and the Public of our new Continental AfrikaWorld and Power, we be able to set ourselves free first from all past , present and future efforts of educating the today's Continental/Diaspora Afrikan the Foreign/Western/Arab/Christian Ways instead of in our Continental AfrikaWay we know little or nothing of

In this way, we shall have all the Inner-based Power we need to educate ourselves the Continental AfrikaWay and free ourselves once and for all from our today's invisible political, economic and social Hell of Foreign/Western/Arab/Jewish Domination, Control and Exploitation which we have been programmed to hail and die for as our “ education, progress, change and success in life “

In other words, we can only seriously talk of and work for our own created and AfrikaCentric Continental Afrikan Education and Training through our own Created Afrikacentric Continental AfrikaCurricular only in our own created and controlled Afrikacentric Continental Afrikan Educational, Professional, Religious and Spirit-based and or oriented Systems, Schools, Colleges and Universities in Continental Afrikan created, Continental Afrikan controlled world, land, systems, institutions, policies and values and led by Afrikacentric educated and trained Teachers, Professors and Administrators and no more by Foreign products or creations who know everything about others but know little or nothing about their Continental AfrikaIdentity, Power and Resources .

Anything short of the above common sense facts will not be called education of the African but the Miseducation of the African in the name of Foreign styles education and training systems imposed on us to keep us ignorant of and uprooted from the Power and Benefits of Educating ourselves the Continental AfrikaWay for our Benefit as Reborn and Awakened Continental Afrikans, Nationals, Citizens and Owners of the Richest Continent on Earth for us all to Reclaim, Unify, Empower , Liberate, Develop, Enrich, Protect, Defend and Promote for our Benefits in Prosperity, Love, Justice, Security, Happiness, Pride and Dignity for all which can only happen when we stop educating ourselves the Foreign ways and start educating ourselves the Continental AfrikaWay for our benefit.
