WHY are we Kenyans Hopelessly Brainwashed -

Since time immemorial, societies have fashioned their histories and mythologies to achieve certain goals. Simply put societies (families, clans, tribes, chiefdom, kingdoms, empires, nations etc) have applied their past experiences to fashion and instill a sense of pride. Purpose & common destiny for themselves.
Did our school system succeed in achieving the above? the answer is a resounding no!
this is self evident from our situation in kenya and africa.the history we were taught in school began by insinuating that we black africans were just primitive, war like, heathens (godless) before the white (pink actually) blue/green eyed foreigners came along to “civilize” us!
it was all very subtle because truth mixed with lies poured into a young black kid’s mind slowly but surely yanks out his/her very soul.
Example, when teacher told us to memorize by rote (i.e. Thoughtlessly) about some pink chaps wandering around africa looking for the source of the nile their sightings of snow in kilimanjaro or kirinyaga mountains-surely this was not our history!
so you flunked if you could not remember these conmen’s names eg ludwig krapf, david livingstone,stanley morton et al and the various dates/places of their adventures in our motherland!
no wonder those of us gifted with analytical mind (the mathematicians, scientists etc) dumped history class as soon as they could within the mis-education system.
History is thus regarded with contempt as a subject in which dead men, their deeds & misdeeds & dates are to be memorized.
A very erroneous conclusion! refer to the first paragraph.
Here is the thing: we africans must understand our true history from our own prism/stand point in order to build a just and fair society powered by science and technology!
european kids are taught lies/myths from day 1 about the great greek empire being the mother of all civilizations.
This transparent lie unfortunately is what we black africans at home &abroad are taught too.
They don’t tell the children what the greeks learned from black teachers in kemet (as the original pharoenic egyptians called themselves) pythagorus, socrates, aristotle, euclide and many more greeks learned at the feet of our black ancestors of kemet.
These greeks did not spend a month or two in kemet-no siree! they spent decades each just trying to understand the teachings of their black masters.
These are facts that are known by any student of “classical” history.
With this general ignorance about our classical black story-kemet, it is no wonder we have been castrated mentally off our true selves.
Check next on what is controlling our minds!
