DEATH OF AFRIKASCIENCE & TECH IN DIASPORA AFRIKA
DEATH OF AFRIKASCIENCE & TECH IN DIASPORA AFRIKA or THE CRISIS OF KEEPING DIASPORA AFRIKANS IGNORANT OF THE KNOWLEDGE, POWER AND PRACTICE OF THEIR CONTAFRIKASCIENCE & TECH, By (c) 2012 by Prof. Afrikadzata Deku, Docteur d'Etat; Doctorat d'Etat (PhD); AFRIKALION@AOL.COM;
Likewise, in the Diaspora Afrika the majority of children of Mother Continental Afrika have been cut away from the source and knowledge, power, pride and dignity of their Ancient Continental Afrikan Science and Technology .
Like their counterparts of "modem" Continental Afrikans, most of the Diaspora Continental Afrikan scientists are "scientist" more on paper than in practice.
In spite of their degrees in Foreign science and technology, their scientific and technological expertise and experience could not allow them to invent and discover things that will ease and better lives of their Diaspora Afrikan People in White America or Europe in the same way their "white" counterparts do daily for the benefit and pride of their White Race .
This is so because today's 99% Diaspora Afrikans are trying to look at the world problems with foreign/alien glasses.
And because their scientific and technological education, training, perspective and practice are so Foreignized , distorted and falsified, the majority of today's de-Afrikanized Continental/Diaspora scientists begin to discover the inadequacy of their Foreign science and technology as a savior of their AfrikaRace or People .
Their faithful learning by heart of Western theories and scientific formulae without the Power and the courage to translate them into everyday scientific miracles to benefit the lot of our Continental/Diaspora Afrikan Masses, to say the least, is but a waste of time and resources.
Consequently, the way out of this growing today's Continental Afrikan scientific and technological crisis, dependency, powerlessness, unproductivity, parroting, stagnation, decay and death is for all today's Continental/Diaspora Afrikans to return to their Ancient Continental Afrikan Science and Technology that has produced for thousands of years the world first Mathematicians, Scientists, Metallurgists, Medical Experts, Architects, Navigators, Engineers, Agriculturalists, Pilots, Literates and Leaders in all areas of human endeavor.
Rather than imprisoning ourselves in our today's invisible Hell of Western-created and controlled laboratories and universities for the benefit of slave/colonial/neocolonial benefits of our today's Foreign creators, controllers , financiers , it is time for us to recover, learn, master and apply daily and enjoy the Heaven of our Afrikacentric Continental Afrikan Science and Technology as our Freedom from the insult, curse , tradegy of the colonialism of Western classs science and technology .
This is because if there is nothing like Western or Afrikan Science and Technology but a neutral science, how come that Foreign scientists can use it to invent Foreign-made cars, telephones, televisions, fax, copiers, radios, food, medicine etc. to better the lot of their people while the same science and technology in the hands of Continental/Diaspora Afrikan "scientists" can only make them vomit back or parrot rather than use it to invent and create Made-In-Afrika Scientific and Technology Miracles that will benefit the lot of the bulk of their Continental Afrikan Masses?
That means, today's Western class science and technology we are following blindly today at the expense of our Continental Afrikan Science and Techonology is not the same as Continental Afrikan Science and Technology from which it originated in the first place.
Just as the shadow is not the substance, in the same way, trying to " Afrikanize" Western dominated and controlled science and technology is like chasing the wind or calling the chaff, a grain of corn .
The present fruitless attempts to "transfer" Western science and technology to "develop" today's Continental Afrika are also based on the above false premise that "modern" science and technology is not Western or Foreign but universal and can and must be used or duplicated by anybody.
This explains why Foreign transfer of technology to Continental Afrika is not working and cannot work and that is why the West and their puppets in "modern" Continental Afrika are doing it in the first place.
Is it not strange that, at this scientific age of daily Foreign scientific miracles, drought should be ravaging parts of Continental Afrika full of myriads of rivers including the longest River in the world ?
Is it not strange that at the time the West and few others are going to the Moon, Continental Afrikan "scientists" are yet to offer the masses of Continental Afrika basic tools and techniques that can improve upon their lot?
Up till today, three-quarters of our Continental Afrikan Women still pound fufu, grains or meals for hours before the whole Family can eat and without any of our today's Foreign-trained Scientists making it their career mission or vocation to invent portable solar Fufu pounding machines that each Afrikan Family can use to pound all their Fufu without so much suffering and sweating on the part of our women and children .
In tropical Continental Afrika where sunshine is everywhere, nine out of ten Continental Afrikan homes are still without electricity - in spite of the abundance of solar energy everywhere.
In spite of the abundance of medicinal plants, herbs, roots and barks from which Foreign medicines are made, "modern" Continental Afrikan scientists are yet to use the same Continental Afrikan medicinal raw materials to provide Continental Afrika with the same Foreign made medicine we import from abroad.
The few real Continental Afrikan scientists who try to break away from the "scientific" colonialism and dependency on the West are quickly isolated, bribed, discredited, boycotted, dismissed as "unscientific" by Foreign definition, standard and rule.
All because, slavery/colonialism/neo-colonialism has succeeded in indoctrinating most of our today's Continental Afrikan "scientists" that only science/technology from the West can make them "scientists."
Not Continental Afrikan Science/Technology. But only Foreign science/technology. Anything out side or short of that is not science or scientific.
