AMERICAN EDUCATION

“I joined an organization in my late teens that taught me the value and concept of True Education. This exposure has shaped me into the type of person that some people call unique or eccentric. I recently told a close friend, it's not that I am unique or eccentric. At least, I am not quite the oddity that some of my counterparts here may say I am. I went on to say that I know several women who were groomed in the same environment I was groomed in. We all have that Spirit (or disposition), for lack of a better term regarding education, life lessons, & humility, in general.



I went on to explain, that if you travel overseas, to many indigenous societies, that same Spirit is in the women and people you meet. In education, the intent and methodologies used to "educate" the students is definitely a large factor in how the information is processed and applied. There is a great filtration system that is used in the dissemination of information in America/Western style of education. Fortunately, this filtration system also causes the Western or Eurocentric points of view to manifest their own inherent contradictions and weakness. Hence, the poverty, violence, and vast amounts of negative precipitate factors that are a natural byproduct of an unnatural educational system. The beautiful thing for humanity or the peoples of the Earth is that the filtration system is not 100% proof. Like that old saying goes, "Truth crushed to the ground always rises." -Lacretia ‘Mz. Makeover’ Muhammad

“Lacretia, many thoughts crossed my mind listening to your voice. The fruit of our education system, and methodology is testament to its strengths, and weakness. Every year we graduate, for example, thousands of criminals whose intellectual basis of reason and survival is founded on principals of acquisition gleaned from the elemental forces of European thought we have all suffered from over the centuries. The educated approach to solving those outcomes is in the business of incarceration. Supported by a religious establishment that preaches, "The wages of sin is death, and if you can't do the time don't do the crime." the logical path from here goes in two directions feeding two streams of income: prison, and/or the war machine.


The direction of our education leads to several other, and obvious paths, and streams of income our society needs to compete in the global marketplace. It is like a large serpent people fear but understand the fierce reputation of a snake is fueled by its fears of being trampled.” –Gregory E. Woods
