Sources Huh…

Well I’ve taught students from Africa. Not African Americans, actual native Africans. In fact, these African student were from the upper classes in Africa. Their families could actually afford to help them leave Africa and study in a foreign country. I taught a couple outstanding African individuals. Probably the best writer I’ve ever had was a young yet mature African male.

However, as a group, the African students behaved differently from the other students. It was because they came from African cultures. For example, many students were often late for class. Many African cultures have a casual relationship with time. Similar to many South American cultures, being on time is not seen as being important. What’s more important is forgiving people for being late. Because most of these African students had never spent any time in a western “time is money” culture, they had trouble understanding why they should respect my request for them to be on time for classes.

Perhaps you have visited Africa or you have a really good understanding of African history including knowing things like who named Africa. Congratulations. However your knowledge does not negate my direct experience and study. I have studied and I do teach lessons at University on cross cultural differences and I know better than most that cultural development is a very complex topic. Yes, history does have a determinative effect on culture but it is not the only factor that affects cultural development. Climate, land, agriculture, language, education, group personality characteristics, DNA, morality and other factors are very important to examine in order to understand the racial and cultural differences that exist between different peoples.

Critical race theorists and groups like BLM want to blame everything on history and existing economic & power differentials. And when that doesn’t work they simply engage in lazy, blatant racism against people who have European DNA.
