Afrro-centric, Bafro Mafro

Modern Liberalism's Legacy in
One Picture and Eight Words.

Black only, but don't use the `S' word; Children are thriving in Afro-centric schools south of the border. Advocates argue that progressive segregation is the only way to reach troubled African American students.

"Public schools have failed African-American students, which is shown in lower graduation rates and lower achievement," says education professor Carol Lee of Northwestern University, founder of the Betty Shabazz charter school in Chicago, whose three campuses boast 825 students from kindergarten to Grade 12.

"African-centric schools have sprung from the belief that African-American students living in a society with a history of racism and stereotypes need a form of socialization that provides them with sociological buffers," [Carol Lee] said.


"Our point simply is we can view the world through the perspective of the people of Africa. Africa is the mother of civilization."

"People call these schools racist as a tactic to keep the status quo, but the status quo doesn't teach the whole diverse story," said [Anthony Daniels]. "People can say public school curriculum is multicultural, but it's not - it's a melting pot where cultures get lost. We like the idea of a cultural salad bowl instead, where every ingredient keeps its flavor."


Afro-centric education, as pioneered by Leonard Jefferies and ilk,  is best defined as "the school of let's-make-shit-up."  That's all I'm gonna say about that.

But wait a minute. Busing was forced on students/families/school districts BECAUSE it was argued that black students could never get ahead in a society that SEGREGATED the school systems.

Liberals, can't live with them, can't kill them. Wait, liberals don't believe in capital punishment even in cases of murder so....

I hear they are opening a lot of Black only schools in Little Rock.

Oh the sweet sweet irony. They have zero gang problems in their schools now that the Crips Community Organizing Committee runs the show.

I've been saying for weeks . . . no, months now . . . that much of what our resident Kenyan, Mr. Soetoro, does is tailored to his Africa-first agenda. It is the primary impetus for his wealth redistribution plans and his "empathy-capable" judiciary.

Well, whatever they do for an educational system, I hope our American Blacks keep using those great 'made up' names....That'll give'em plenty of real distinction............WV:mopities....Hey! There's one right there!

One specific comment re the "lets make shit up" article you linked:

Cleopatra was Macedonian Greek. While that hardly meant she was blonde and blue eyed she could not have been black.

Let the stupid racist blacks go off and join their little black-supremacy plantations.

Those left behind are better off without them.

Win-win.

Plenty of Afro-centric schools in ... well ... Africa.

Yes Jim, but there are no rich white people to pay for it all.
