African Education
Education is rooted in philosophy, not just on "programs", "curriculum", or "topics"
to be taught. It requires a social and historical context, cultural purpose or function, philosophical orientation,
and human intention. Healthy, progressive education ultimately strives toward one central and fundamental
goal: transferring a society's culture, traditions, and scientific knowhow to the next generation. Education
takes the form of mental, moral, and martial knowledge and experience summed up into theory and presented incrementally via
lessons. It is first practiced, then summed up theoretically, then condensed symbolically into mathematical formulae,
then organized into scientific equations, laws, canons, principles, techniques, and procedures. The delivery system
for education is the curriculum. The curriculum is an intellectual diet, food for thought, a regiment of mental gymnastics,
an exercise program to build hearts and brains, a nutritious schedule of knowledge and wisdom handed down through the ages.
Teachers administer the curriculum, students digest and learn, parents assist and encourage their children, the community
supports parents and families in their mission of educating the next generation of leaders. What happens when
the race/culture in charge of creating/censoring/sanctioning education has a history of enslaving and discriminating against
a large segment of a subjugated population they still need to train for menial/temporary employment? This
is the central question in modern American education and pedagogy.
Historically, education, like health care,
religion, mass media, law, recreation, transportation, communication, government, sport or any other social institution is
organized around the society's necessities of life, and the means/methods of producing them. A class/race/culture/gender
rules this process from production, distribution, exchange, consumption to reproduction. The sum total of
this is an economic system which determines the quality and quantity of what elements of the population receives in return
for their labor. The white, capitalist, male, Greco-roman/Christian ruling class organized the nation's curricula
to have whites organized around the most advanced technology and Blacks organized around the least advanced. Historically
Blacks have been fastened to slave manual labor, while whites were graduated to mechanical machine labor; next Blacks were latched
to mechanical when whites were raised to semi-automated and automated; next Blacks were held to semi-automated while whites
graduated to automated and computer automated. Each population's education reflected this parallel segregation system.
When the Blacks were bused into white schools, segregation moved to within the school with the Black population being tracted
for special education, and a dumbed down curriculum. This is standard procedure even in Black majority school districts.
Education delivered through curricula gives the student measured doses of knowledge reflective of what it takes
to work at each level of production. If all a person is daily organized to do is pick cotton, tobacco, coffee, sugar
cane, rice, indigo, or drain swamps and slop hogs then their curriculum of education would be dumbed to produce a person who
would work daily on that low level of thinking. The result would be a person made to slave or be enslaved.
Their ignorance was deliberately planned by the white/Arab people who created their curricula and forced them to digest it.
Today, the masses of Black folk are in line for obsolete factory jobs, fast food jobs, security guard jobs, nurse helpers,
janitors, garbage men, prison, jail, sellers of hate-care products, truck-driving, baby-siting, and something requiring a
broom and a mop. The curricula of school districts throughout the nation are dumbed to produce alienated,
subservient, depressed, dependent Black populations with no hope of ever being anything other than the limited human tools
white institutions were designed to create. Sure, some become rappers, dancers, singers, trumpet players, comics, clowns,
talk show hosts, preachers, imams, athletes, dog fighters, social workers, teachers and even politicians and business persons.
But what lasting civilization can be built, when none of the above know how to build/create anything necessary to life and
living? A healthy diet of science, engineering, and technology would prepare Black populations to build the machines
that build roads, cars, airplane, ships, hospitals, universities, temples, houses, water treatment facilities, computers,
robots, factory systems, printing facilities, schools, clinics, agrifarms---all of the things necessary for independent
life and living. The design of the white supremacy system and national curricula ensures that by the time a Black child
becomes an adult they actually believe in all kinds of worthless white fantasies, frauds, fake saviors, mysticism, and useless
white fell-good history. The engineering sciences, standard in ancient African Kmt, are today only focused on a
select few---less than 1.8% of all scientists in the world are Black. This too is deliberate.
Inject
white supremacy, silly white religious mysticism about white gods and white heavens and the fraud of innate Black inferiority and
you have a person born to slave and in time self destruct against people who look like them. Look around
at stupid Black millionaires dog fighting. Look at the Black school boards building one school (for a few middle class
Black children) at five times its value while closing five old ones (which could have been rebuilt brand new).
Look at one Black woman making over $267 million dollars in salaries per year and yet instead of building 100 small technical
schools in Africa per year, that money is invested back in exploitative white and Arab business ventures around the world.
She built one in South Africa. With billions of dollars, she could finance hundreds of schools and small technical colleges. But,
the white supremacist curriculum works around the world. This is what whites and Arabs systematically process Africans
through each and everyday our children go to school. No wonder Black athletes have billions of dollars of disposable
income, money, but not much understanding/intelligence of what it must be spent on to genuinely improve Black conditions.
So much money wasted on white women, gold chains/teeth/rings/ear clips/necklaces, rims for their tires, fancy cars, big houses,
drugs and clubs---not much of it ever helps the Black community. One fool just wasted nearly $200,000,000 in contracts,
endorsements, and business ventures; he was do fighting with a bunch of losers who also happen to be snitches. He lost
everything and is now in prison. Most of these athletes ultimately die broke; without college educations, without morality
and ethic, or without skills outside of running around with a leather ball under their arms they have not been prepared
to do anything other than fail after the fame dies down. With a proper education, this would not be possible.
Those who are technically educated almost always out-think, out-maneuver, out-plan, and out-prepare those who
are uneducated. Ignorance ensures defeat---everywhere in the world. Knowledge lays the foundation for success/victory,
even if victory means enslaving another as to make Europe and Arabia rich. What knowledge is applied to matters
only to those who are in control of how it is applied. It can be used to enslave or to free. Even brute force
can be turn against those who brutalize if those being brutalized are intelligent and smart enough to take the brute's
weapons and redirect them in defense against tyranny and terror. Those with a history of enslaving know this, they know
why they win, they know why those who lose continue to lose. Populations other than Black people are learning fast.
Asians make up most of the science, engineering, and technology graduates in most major white university graduate schools.
They understand the value of science. They also understand the uselessness of white /Arabs mystical beliefs.
In sum, science is universal; so too is mathematics. The answer to the question is either right or wrong regardless
of the language. Africans should focus on science, engineering, mathematics, architecture, physics, chemistry, biology,
earth science, genetics, medicine, urban planning, civil engineering, manufacturing technology, mass communications, computer
science, automated agriculture and mining, logic, moral systems and language. White and Arab history is a fraud, a lie
agreed upon by international populations with thousands of years of practice enslaving Black people and lying in print, motion
pictures, and spoken words to justify it. Then they set up mis-education systems, parallel tracks (even within
desegregated schools), to dumb the Black population into second class citizenship and second tier labor. Black
administrators, boards of education, teachers, and staff merely deliver the curricula that the whites determine for each state.
With all of the talk about African-centered education, this central fact has not been corrected: Whites and Arabs
determine the quality, quantity, and type of Black education. They decide which class of Black people get education,
what type they get, and how much they get. In all of the curriculum, whites and Arabs make themselves the beginners
and masters of everything central to human civilization even though in most of ancient history they were last. They
teach their best and brightest science/engineering/technology. Black people are warehoused, without state-of-the-art
labs or teachers and are taught mysticism and confusion.
White and Arab social sciences are fraught
with made up tales, feel good stories by slavers and conquerors, lies, fabrications, fantasies, myths, and religious mess.
Their curricula for Black people are cell-blocks. Prison is the destination starting in kindergarten. With
no future prospects of healthy employment, nowhere to use what they were taught, our youth have no motivation to learn even
the things that might be of use. Can you blame them? White supremacy is everywhere in their history and social science
fields. And even in the physical sciences, the individual histories fraudulently start with Greece and Rome or the illusion
of Middle East nomads with the first technologically advanced ancient civilizations. In their field of psychology, even
the rat is white. Let them have it. Learn math, science (not the history of science), engineering, architecture,
agriculture, mining, manufacturing. Learn morality, right and wrong, good and bad, just and unjust.
Set
up weekend schools to teach scientifically accurate African culture, history, law, sociology, economics, political science,
political economy, and psychology.
Notes on Kmt-Based Education
Purpose of Education
At the core of any discussion of education (or anything for that matter) resides a fundamental
question—education for what purpose? Toward what end are we educating children? The
purpose of education is central as all aspects of the educational process are organized to fulfill its purpose, whether it
is stated or not.
By African-centered education do we mean graduate a group of children who
are not so antagonistic to African dance, language, and people? Who have an understanding of African people’s
history in a general sense and can identify some Civil Rights Leaders? Who will go on to college, maybe,
and work as administrators or managers in mostly white businesses and a few black communities on behalf of the ruling group,
selling services to those who can pay until they cannot pay any longer---building the civilizations of others daily?
How are they held accountable? What nation are they building, without plan, procedures, principles, philosophy, or land?
Where? What person builds anything without scientific design principles, architectural plan, and skilled construction engineers? What
nation can be built without these elements professionally organized? With less than one-tenth of one percent of the
applied scientists and engineers in the world, how is anything modern (university, hospital, school, factory, temple, highway,
airplane, computer, etc.) going to get built? Serious young Africans must know the answers to these questions.
Should our people continue to float around as fortuitous free-lancing free agents without coordinated mission,
plan, purpose or accountability? Or are we talking about educating a new generation of professional doers,
workers, moralists, designers, builders, healers, manufacturers, growers, engineers, architects of a renewed African civilization
in this life and in this time. Are we forging self critical, self responsible, and self reliant groups of young
people with the moral, mental, and martial preparation necessary to carry out the great work of solving the fundamental problems
confronting African people now and into the future?
Our curricula should produce honest people,
hard workers, people who are disciplined, forthright, honorable, dependable, caring, guided by goodness and toughness, resilient,
responsible to Africans and to humanity, self reliant, appreciators of reciprocity, martially steeled, sincere, holistic,
kind, happy, healthy, humble, strong, morally sound, and scientifically educated builders/creators/engineers. Everything
good our ancestors did, we should do in a modernized, fluid, fresh, and improved way. Even their quest for
perfection should be modeled in our daily life.
It is incumbent upon
our generation to produce a qualitatively new group of people; a group that benefits from our having admitted and corrected
the mistakes we made, as well as identified important lessons we have learned from past efforts. The purpose
of education must be:
- To seize control over our
lives now and in the future. All that we
need to survive—regardless of where African people are located in the world—resides in the hands of populations
responsible for tearing apart our families, destroying our homes, murdering, raping, and maiming our children, and dragging
millions of innocent ones around the world to be worked to death in the western hemisphere and the eastern hemisphere.
Leaving a string of broken hearts, they reduced us to chattel, the equivalent of a mule, hog or a sack of fertilizer.
Rather than continuing to place our valuable lives in the hands of those who think nothing of us, we must stand
on our own feet and develop a system of education—with the requisite philosophy, theory, method, means of delivery (curricula),
and mode of delivery (pedagogy)—that will produce a group who will put our race in a position to seize control over
our lives.
- To identify and solve fundamental problems
confronting African women, men, and children. The educational system which we have inherited has not put us in a position
to properly study and solve our most pressing problems. We are guided strongly toward the arts and humanities,
with minimal emphasis on engineering, science and math; we need both. By the time we reach high
school and college, not only are we unprepared to go into engineering and science, but are unwilling because our interests
have been shaped by these experiences. While expressive disciplines come easy to African people, they do
not cure diseases, build roads, design energy production facilities, or produce food that can benefit millions of hungry African
women, men, and children. Our fundamental needs and concerns remain at best unaddressed and at worst partially
met through the efforts of the very people who benefit from our suffering. They just cannot see in us what they see
in themselves. How can they, after they have littered our lives with a litany of lost lives, broken hearts and broken
promises. Too much, far too much, of our time has been spent trying to correct them, to save them, to make them
humane. Stop. Turn within. Save our selves, correct ourselves, stand on our own feet, build our lives
with our own hands, hearts, and heads.
- To prepare a group of people who can identify
and solve fundamental problems confronting African women, men, and children. It is incumbent
African-centered educators to produce the intellectual and moral framework necessary to midwife a new group of youth onto
the historical scene. One that places primacy on:
- Hard work and deeds—what people say does not mean
anything, rather deeds define a person’s worth;
- The Black race—the needs, problems, concerns, issues, and interests confronting African
people are central to the educational process;
- Female and male in unity—a balance in leadership, decision-making, mental, moral, and martial
preparation is necessary for the advancement of the race as a whole;
- Ancient
KMT foundation—African civilization reached its highest stage
of development in early KMT (the “Old Kingdom”) and as such must serve as a foundation on which we stand in all
aspects of life, including moral development, academic training and preparation, physical training (martial arts), and applied
scientific study and projects;
- The development of the new and the disposal
of the old—the best of what is old becomes preserved in that
which is being born and what cannot be used (what has been proven ineffective) is given its proper burial; as repositories
of wisdom, elders must be afforded a special and honorable place to carry out their great work of synthesizing the best from
their observations and experiences and planting these seeds in the hearts and minds of the youth. The youth
must be put in a position to learn and not coddled or excused for their behaviors.
- Steeled,
yet fluid psychology—Kmt did not prevail for over 6,300 years
(before Semitic and European invasions) without determination, toughness, and aggressiveness to get things right. The fluidity
of their collective psyche permitted them to deeply understand the world around them, as well as one another.

Educational CurriculaEducation
requires a social and historical context, cultural purpose or function, philosophical orientation and human intention. Rooted
in these criteria, curricula provide the tools teachers and learners use to fulfill the aims of learning. Learned
knowledge gives life to precise behavior. Precise behavior is applied to agriculture to feed people, develop medicines to
cure people, and provide nutrition to strengthen people;manufacturing to create clothing, cars, trucks, planes, computers,
books, dvds, printers, and other necessities of life; construction to create houses, buildings, roads, highways, bridges,
hospitals, schools, universities, temples, stores, libraries, recreation centers, museums, and other centers of material
culture; mining to dig up and extract precious minerals, gold, silver, iron, diamonds, oil, etc. This is material culture,
the essence of what a people creates in order to exist, grow, and develop. Africans have yet to refocus on the
technical and moral element of our education. We have to learn again, as our ancestors did in ancient Kmt, how
to do things and why. Thus the questions: Education for what? Learning for what? Curriculum for what? What type
of person are you molding and for what purpose? These are the central questions.
CRITIQUE
OF EDUCATION RESEARCH
Without an accurate, organized, holistic summation of the history of the process, then the history of the ideas documenting
the process (i.e., the logical summation or the theory), is groundless. To reduce theory and method to
a list of examples, criticisms, definitions, concepts, and analogies is to reject the principle of objectivity and resort
to petty speculative, eclecticism, and subjectivity. In the White controlled positivist social sciences
and the reactionary aspect of the Afrocentric/African-center movement, the most widely used and fallacious method of research
is to isolate and randomly tear out individual minor facts, dissect them independent of the social context that gave birth
to them, string together some analogies, drop a few names of important people, then juggle this biased concoction with examples
and “expert” references (and in some cases if the researcher claims Afrocentricity, sprinkle in some Swahili terms).
This is not holistic scientific research. In fact,
this is not research at all because isolated facts, selectively presented as variables and torn out of context are merely
subjective constructs for juggling. Reducing objective social processes to arbitrary patchworks of culturally,
racially, class, and sex/gender biased variables and testing them in an abstracted imaginary context may be politically harmless
enough, and culturally impotent enough to be published in mainstream ruling presses, but such publications are of no objectively
scientific value, because each fact, each conceptualization, each variable, each analogy, each example grows out of some historically
evolved concrete situation that must be summarized in its entirety if one is to bring to life---mentally reflect/reconstruct---the
process in one’s mind that is taking place in reality.
What Has Not Worked Civilizations are not built
from fruitless decades of debates with the paid intelligentsia of nations with histories of enslaving, segregating and brutalizing
innocent people who happened to have black skin and be defenseless. Nor are civilizations rebuilt out of petty arguments about
how many ancient Blacks nursed western and Arab civilizations into existence. From Darfur to South Africa to South Bronx
and South Central land is littered with a litany of lost lives, broken bones, broken promises---innocent people perpetually
preyed upon by clever, cunning killers. We've all lived long enough to know that we'd trade all we have
for one real chance to stop our best and brightest from being sent to early graves. Even further, this is not about
merely infusing African agency into European/Arab curricula as to make African children more comfortable accepting the rest
of the white supremacy curriculum. Yes, infuse African agency, but also, develop independent African curricula.
As witnessed by the sad state of education/incarceration of working class African youth, today, infusion is not enough.
Their curriculum is a cell-block. Decorating it won't release intimately incarcerated minds. Our children
need more. African Renaissance requires more. History demands more. And our wonderful ancestors,
those who sacrificed everything---they deserve more.
Today, more than ever, the responsibility rests solely with
the Africans most prepared and willing to end this miserable condition. The one with his foot on your neck is not going to
do it. They are not qualified: morally, mentally, or even psychologically. We have to be smarter, tougher, and
more honest with ourselves than in the past. Africans need scientific and morally sound curricula and literature
of rebirth. It must be accurate. It must be independent. It must be comprehensive, and it must be applied. The
question of this epoch is not merely the need for a more relevant African literature, but what kind of literature is needed
to answer the demands of this period---demands such as employment, technical and moral education, health care, housing, food,
diet, exercise, clothing, transportation, recreation, self defense, security, technology, healthy relationships, ethics, land,
child care and development, reparations, restitution, remorse/redemption, liberty/independence, self reliance, prosperity,
longevity, how to engineer/how to manufacture life necessities, how to live life with purpose and meaning. Real life
questions require real life answers.
Less Preaching, More Applied Teaching/Apprenticeships
The literature of the University of Kmt, therefore, is based on our people's applied life's works,
the material culture of a people, systematically summed up. A systematic summation of lessons from a specific area of life
is essentially a theory, a summation of theories is philosophy, a summation of philosophies is cosmology, and one's cosmology
is at the foundation of one's worldview. If one's worldview is fixated on protest, verbal soliloquy, empty debate,
seeking hand-outs, bragging on how Blacks (quite ignorantly) helped future enslavers to build white/Arab civilizations, posturing
over who was first rather than learning how to do what they then did well now, or perpetually arguing with the descendants
of enslavers, one never gets to learn: - how to make a factory that makes a car,
- make machines that build
roads,
- build a school,
- build a university,
- restore African time, restore calendar
- mass
build highways, build hospitals, build houses, build airplanes and trains, build computer-automated farms and factories,
- cure
diseases,
- feed, cloth and shelter millions,
- write your own guiding moral books for millions to live by,
- run a country justly
- raise healthy, independent, self reliant families
- love self first; honor
your own saints; appreciate the sacrifices of your own ancestors (our only real "saviors").
This is
material culture. This, at a minimum, is what must be done. The best practices of successful peoples
of the world should be studied, but only after a people has studied the best applied practices of its own ancestors.
University of Kmt Press is founded on the material culture of ancient African Kmt Civilization (4236bc-656bc). A
black heritage ranked second to none. So long as the African population ignores the value and use of science, so long as the African intelligentsia sells itself
cheaply for status and respectability in the very institutions that it criticizes, so long as opportunism/sophistry masquerades
as scholarship, so long as academic compromise and integration dominate free thought, so long as credit-seeking/ambition masquerades
as self sacrifices, so long as research findings are used to fuel tokenism, so long as there is no systematic KMT-based African
worldview, so long as African culture has not sufficiently recovered from 2700 years of genocidal siege at the hands of Whites
and Arabs, so long as the struggle itself of the African race has not yet assumed a political, and cultural character, and
the new technology has not yet sufficiently developed in the bosom of the capitalist economy itself to enable us
to catch a glimpse of the material conditions necessary for the emancipation of Africans---these emerging bodies of African-centered
theoreticians are merely eclectic harbingers who, to meet the wants of the oppressed race, improvise reformist/integrationist
ideas, claim independence yet depend of oppressors, pleading with Whites for credit, posturing for handouts/grants, stumbling
between story telling, essays, empiricism, mysticism, metaphysics, and religion---and in the end, go in search of magic,
gods, saviors, korans, bibles, and torahs for solutions to problems that were caused by the very people who published these
ideas.
But as time moves forward, socio-cultural conditions ripen, and science is reunified
with a passionate and relentless will for justice, Africans no longer need to seek answers in the sky, or plead for acceptance,
integration, or permission to think outside of the confines of a Eurocentric/Arab-centric worldview; they have only to take
note of what is happening before their eyes and to become its mouthpiece. This is science.
The branch of the African-centered movement that is organized to achieve this end, along
with spirituality has succeeded.
