The Entire Western Educational System Is Devoted to Maintaining the Lie of Racist "Anti-Black/ ANTI poc " alleged '' White self crowned Superiority [A I]
“Until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.” – African Proverb
Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the father of Black History Month, exposed this dynamic in The Mis-Education of the Negro, where he argued that Western education trains Black people to accept subordination rather than seek liberation.
Western education is not merely a system of learning; it is a carefully constructed machine of indoctrination designed to maintain a global racial hierarchy.
For centuries, it has been a battleground where the myth of white superiority was forged, upheld, and reinforced, often at the expense of Black history, culture, and contributions to global civilization.
This is not hyperbole—it is a forensic reality woven into the curriculum design, policies, and pedagogical approaches of Western institutions, from their colonial beginnings to the present day.
The entire system rests on two pillars: the erasure of Black achievements
and
the propagation of pseudo-scientific lies to justify white dominance.
I. Erasure and Distortion: The Theft of Black Historical Legacy
The Western educational framework has systematically obliterated or distorted the contributions of African civilizations while glorifying European achievements.
The result is a historical narrative that falsely frames Africa as a dark continent devoid of innovation, culture, or power before European intervention.
1. Case Study: The Benin Bronzes and the Myth of African Incompetence
The Benin Bronzes, crafted by the Kingdom of Benin in the 13th century, stand as undeniable evidence of Africa’s advanced artistry and metallurgical expertise. Yet, when these artifacts were looted by British forces in 1897, European scholars argued they couldn’t have been produced by Africans. These scholars credited Portuguese influence or dismissed the works as anomalous curiosities, ensuring they were excluded from educational curricula.
2. Case Study: Timbuktu’s Forgotten Intellectual Greatness
The University of Sankoré in Timbuktu housed tens of thousands of manuscripts on astronomy, medicine, mathematics, and philosophy during the 14th century. While Europe was mired in the Dark Ages, African scholars debated cosmology and ethics.
Yet, Timbuktu is largely absent from history textbooks, replaced by narratives that emphasize Africa’s supposed tribal simplicity.
3. Colonial Curricula and the Indoctrination of Inferiority
In colonies across Africa, Asia, and the Americas, European education systems imposed the idea that colonized peoples were culturally and intellectually inferior.
British schools in Kenya, for instance, explicitly taught African children that their ancestors were savages saved by colonial intervention.
Textbooks glorified European explorers while portraying African resistance as barbaric rebellion.
II. The Pseudo-Science of Racism: Education as Propaganda
The Western educational system didn’t stop at erasure; it actively propagated lies to solidify anti-Black racism. It weaponized pseudo-science and anthropology to give these lies the veneer of legitimacy.
1. The Rise of "Scientific Racism"
Figures like Johann Friedrich Blumenbach and Samuel Morton misused science to rank races by supposed intellectual capacity. Morton’s cranial studies were manipulated to “prove” that Black people were less intelligent than whites. These ideas were widely taught in universities and used to justify slavery, segregation, and colonial rule.
2. Human Zoos and Anthropological Racism
In the 19th century, ethnographic exhibits—essentially “human zoos”—showcased Africans as evolutionary throwbacks. This dehumanization wasn’t confined to traveling exhibitions; it permeated textbooks and classroom discussions, shaping generations of students to see Black people as subhuman.
Drapetomania: The Pseudo-Science of Enslavement
Among the most egregious examples of pseudo-science weaponized to justify anti-Black oppression is the 19th-century concept of "Drapetomania," a so-called mental illness coined by American physician Dr. Samuel Cartwright in 1851. Cartwright claimed that the uncontrollable urge of enslaved Africans to flee bondage was a medical condition rather than a rational reaction to inhumane treatment.
Cartwright's theory, outlined in his paper “Diseases and Peculiarities of the Negro Race,” suggested that this "disease" could be "cured" by brutal measures, such as whipping or cutting off the enslaved person's heels to prevent escape.
He also prescribed strict submission to white authority as a form of "treatment," reinforcing the idea that freedom was unnatural for Black people and that slavery was their rightful condition.
Though absurd and universally discredited today, Drapetomania was widely circulated among western kidnappers and enslavers, bolstering the belief that Black resistance to enslavement was pathological rather than a legitimate assertion of their humanity. It also provided a pseudo-scientific veneer to the dehumanization of Black people, framing resistance to systemic oppression as deviance that required correction.
This grotesque example of pseudo-science wasn’t just a product of its time—it was a deliberate tool of white supremacy, designed to maintain control and justify the moral and economic foundations of slavery. Its legacy lives on in the systemic pathologizing of Black resistance and the criminalization of Black liberation movements.
III. Structural Bias in Modern Education
While overt scientific racism has been discredited, its legacy remains deeply embedded in the Western educational system.
1. Eurocentric Curricula
History and science textbooks continue to prioritize European achievements while marginalizing or omitting Black contributions. The Industrial Revolution, for example, is celebrated as a triumph of European ingenuity, with little mention of how it was funded by the wealth extracted through the transatlantic slave trade.
2. Standardized Testing as a Tool of Exclusion
Standardized tests, designed with cultural biases, have historically excluded Black students from higher educational opportunities. The early IQ tests, rooted in eugenics, were explicitly created to “prove” the intellectual inferiority of non-white populations and limit their access to power.
3. Cultural Gatekeeping in Academia
Black scholars who challenge Eurocentric narratives are often dismissed as radical or revisionist. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the father of Black History Month, exposed this dynamic in The Mis-Education of the Negro where he argued that Western education trains Black people to accept subordination rather than seek liberation.
IV. A Lie That Persists: Modern Implications
The myth of white superiority isn’t just a relic of the past—it continues to shape global power dynamics. From the backlash against Critical Race Theory in the U.S. to the resistance against Afrocentric curricula in Africa, efforts to dismantle this lie are met with fierce opposition.
Recent Movements Challenging the Narrative
- Decolonizing Education: In South Africa, student-led movements like #RhodesMustFall demand the removal of colonial symbols and the inclusion of African history in university curricula.
- The Black Lives Matter Movement: Sparked global conversations about systemic racism, including in education, pushing institutions to confront their Eurocentric biases.
Conclusion: The Truth Must Prevail
“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” – Frederick Douglass
The Western educational system is not neutral—it is a weapon of ideological warfare, designed to erase Black brilliance and perpetuate white dominance. But the cracks in its foundation are growing.
Decolonized curricula, the resurgence of African historical research, and global movements for racial equity are dismantling the lies brick by brick.
To achieve true liberation, the world must reject the myths of the past and demand an education system rooted in truth, equity, and inclusivity.
