History
It’s simple: Europeans robbed Africans for their language, culture, and identity, and then Africans were forced to adopt their conquerers’ language, culture and identity.
Now you have African descendants in the Americas who were brought during slavery in United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Panama, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Peru, Brazil, and so on and so forth, and none of these African Americans speak African languages, but only European dialects, such as Portuguese, French, English, and Spanish depending on where the Africans were taken during slavery days.
The majority of African Americans have typical European names, meaning that they identify as European. Why? Simply because that’s all they’re left with!
How can a people who have been robbed for everything and then forced to adopt the identities, languages, religions, and cultures claim anything other than what they’re left with? It’s called ethnic cleansing, colonialism, and it was intentional to ruin a people and leave them confused: because a tree without its root is a dead tree.
Africans were intentionally meant to be left confused, lost and ruined. It is the only way to control a people; to be left with nothing in order to have no choice but to wait for what their conquerer gives them, as far as identity, culture, religion, law, and education goes.
African Americans don’t educate themselves. How could they, they don’t have the scholastic power to do so, but even if they did, the books they’d educate themselves out of are written by Europeans.
Europeans have destroyed so much education, so much information, out of fear that we African and Native American people would discover who we are, and what we are capable of!
What are we capable of?
According to Europeans’ education we Africans and Native Americans were savages hanging from trees when Europeans arrived to our land, found us, and then taught us to be civilized.
What happens when we believe this lie?
We become thankful of Europeans, we pardon their genocidal attempts, slavery, colonialism, and systemic oppression.
But what happens when we know the truth?
What truth?
Africans and Native Americans weren’t hanging from trees, but on the contrary--it was Africans who found Europeans living in caves, afraid to come out, cavemen who hadn’t yet discovered fire, art, culture, architecture, science, and math.
It was Africans who taught the paled man that it was okay to come out of the cave, that it was okay to bathe in water, and to no longer live as cannibals.
That’s the hidden truth, but that’s precisely why it is very important for Europeans to be in charge of Education, so that they can tell us who we are, what we’re capable of, and how far we can go in society.
How far can we go according to Europeans? Anywhere, and as far as we’d like, as long as it isn’t further or higher than them. As long as what we are and what we build doesn’t give us independence; the ability to no longer need Europeans to control us systemically, scholastically, and economically.
And THAT, is systematic racism.
