RAPPER: ‘U.S. SCHOOLS CREATE IGNORANT PEOPLE’

US-based rapper Jason Chu dives into why people in the United States believe racist stereotypes such as 'Africa has no great civilizations or empires.'

While royalty and empires may not always indicate human sophistication—as we can see with the British monarchy and US empire—we can point to evidence left behind in Africa.

Let's look at the Kingdom of Kush in the Nile Valley and the Kingdom of Aksum, which grew in East Africa and the southern Arabian peninsula. Then, let's head over to the Songhai empire in West Africa's Sahel region and the trading hub of Carthage in North Africa. Those are just a few examples.

The Los Angeles-based rapper then described a conversation with a university admissions officer, who told him the US educational system creates docile workers rather than critical thinkers. That, unfortunately, can leave space for ignorance to flourish, which can build support for Western regime change campaigns, among other efforts that can oppress the people of the world.
