Greetings Family!
I hope all is well with you and your families!
Thank you for your interest in the Nana Baffour African Centered Education Training Institute.

There is no cause that we have been charged with by our ancetors that is as important as making sure that our young people are properly prepared to administrate our nation. The establishment of the Nana Baffour African Centered Education Training Institute is evidence that we are serious about changing the abhorrent realities being faced by our people in general, and our children specifically. The Nana Baffour Institute charges us to do as Nana wished - to be African and to do whatever is necessary to make sure that an African education is available for our children. We invite you to participate in the Nana Baffour Institute beginning next month!

Our first training session will be on Thursday July 10, 2008 at 7pm in Arlington, VA. The goal is to meet at 7pm twice per week for the remainder of July and in August (with the exception of a couple of dates in August). There will be approximately 10 class sessions. All sessions last 3 hours. You may only miss one session. All sessions are $50; hence, the total cost is $500.00, which must be paid in full on or before July 10. Space is limited, so if you are interested, please email brother Kmt at:

Yahoo!

In the spirit of Nana,

Kmt Shockley, Ph.D.

Greetings Family,

How are you? I am fine. Next week I head to Africa. Specifically I will be spending just under five weeks in Egypt and Ghana.

On one of my trips to Ghana three or four years ago I lectured at the Sunrise Academy in the Teschie District in Accra, Ghana. The Teschie District is a relatively poor community made up mostly of the people called Ga. Indeed, our Ancestor the late, great Dr. John Henrik Clarke, was an honorary member of the Ga community. Anyway, during the course of my lectures at the academy I fell in love with the school. The students were disciplined and delightful. You may recall that a number of us contributed to the school library and we have now now sent between five hundred and a thousand books to it. These books range from everything from text books and encyclopedias, science fiction and African literature, to Naim Akbar and Chancellor Williams' Destruction of Black Civilization.

A group of us will be visiting the school during our tour to Cairo and Ghana in July. During the visit we intend to present to the school a brand new laptop computer that we will purchase in Ghana. We might even be able to buy two of them. We think that this is a wonderful and practical way to make a difference in the lives of generations of African children. If you agree and would like to make a contribution we encourage you to send a check or money order to:

Rashidi
Box 201662
San Antonio, TX 78220

We will send you a receipt for your contribution and a photograph of the presentation at the school. In the unlikely event that we do not purchase the computers for any reason your contribution will be returned in full.

Please join us in making a difference.

The future belongs to us if we are prepared to work and sacrifice!

In love of Africa,

Runoko Rashidi

YEntOre aborOfo ne aborOfodwene a EwO yEn mu aseE koraa in Twi. K'a pa oyinbo ati ero oyinbo t'o wa ninu wa run (patapata) in Yoruba.

"A powerful people will never teach a powerless people how to take their power"
-Dr. John Henrik Clarke

“The 'educated Negroes' have the attitude of contempt toward their own people because in their own as well as in their mixed schools Negroes are taught to admire the Hebrew, the Greek, the Latin and the Teuton and to despise the African… The thought of the inferiority of the Negro is drilled into him in almost every class he enters and in most every book he studies… The large majority of the Negroes who have put on the finishing touches of our best colleges are all but worthless in the development of their people…”
- Carter G. Woodson 1933, Mis-Education of the Negro

“The lowest point of modern western philosophy was the inclusion of arguments for white supremacy and "Negro" inferiority in philosophical writings during the 18th and 19th centuries. The prestige of some of the thinkers compounds the evil. David Hume (On National Character), Charles Montesquieu (The Spirit of the Laws), and Georg Hegel (The Philosophy of History) were the forerunners for writers like Thomas Carlyle (The Nigger Question) and Joseph Gobineau (The Inequality of the Human Races) who were in turn forerunners of Adolph Hitler.”
- Jacub Curruthers, article African Centered Education attached

To Understand how Europeans use "Science" (false tests and inaccurate statistics) and pseudo-intellectuals to advance their devious plans for world domination check out this book below. This also makes it clear why we must develop ourselves and our children into Afrikan Nationbuilders and Intellectual Assasins who can defend against racist/ white supremacist propaganda and white world global domination.

=

Please see attachments of views against Afrikan Centered Education. The Afrocentric Hustle by Stanley Crouch, Pride and Prejudice by Dinesh D'Souza and remarks made back to Mary Lefokwitz Not out Africa book. Witness the new professors of the fourth Reich.

These ideas are not rare in fact we have all been indoctrinated covertly or subvertly to believe them. And just like in Nazi Germany where Jews were used to carry out the annihilation of Jews, Blacks are being used to carry out the annihilation of Blacks.

Notes from T'shango Mbilishaka!

"It seems that, as an excuse for rejecting things African, many of our
people pretend that they can't connect with continental Africa and
Africans because, 'Africans sold us into slavery.' Without going into
the psychosis of self-hatred for those clinging to this excuse, I pose
this question: 'Why did Europeans have to kill so many Africans, have
wars with Africans, and always arrive in Africa armed to the teeth?'
If Africans were simply 'for sale,' then it seems likely that the
European would have only needed to back his ship up to the African
coast, pay the African 'slave merchants' a few pounds, load up the
slaves, and sail off to the Americas. Why kill anyone?"

Check out Book if you can find it called
The Painful Demise of Eurocentrism: An Afrocentric Response to Critics by Molefi Asante . The best books are hard to find

Other excellent books to help understand how statistics are falsefied and used to determine our future/ the future of Afrikans at home and abroad. Check out Even the Rat Was White by Robert Guthrie, Mismeasure of Man by Stephen J Gould, and the last two chapters ( I think 21 and 22) of The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Sturcture in American Life by Hernstein and Murray








Fantastic News!
It is always good to hear from my students
These are two of my students both very conscious, hard working and preparing to build for our community and our nation.

I remember them using their oral and analytical skills in a mock trial, with Colombus, Columbus' men, Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, the Tainos, and the system ( Each represented by a group of students) all on trial for the mass murder/ genocide of millions of Indigenous people in the Western hemisphere, that we had in class.



Teens in starring roles as Aquarium interns
By Christine McConville | Tuesday, July 22, 2008 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Business & Markets

Photo by Angela Rowlings
There’s an anxious mother who wants to know if anyone has ever fallen into the New England Aquarium’s giant ocean tank.
And then there’s the regular, who wants to know where Myrtle, the 70-year-old sea turtle, is hiding.
Shanti Baker, 17, handles both questions deftly from her secure perch on a wooden platform just inside the multistory tank.
“No one has ever fallen in, but people have lost personal items, so hold on to your belongings,” she tells the crowd that has gathered around the tank.
And the mysterious Myrtle, she explains, is hiding underneath the platform.
On a busy summer day, Myrtle may retreat from the crowds, but Baker doesn’t.
Not anymore.
This is her third summer working as an aquarium summer intern, and she can handle crowds and their questions with poise.
It wasn’t always this way, said Jenna Sigman, who runs the aquarium’s teen internship program.
Three years ago, “Shanti was unsure when dealing with the public,” Sigman said.
This summer, Baker - an aspiring marine biologist - and her cousin Alex Mendes are showing younger “aquateens,” as the interns are called, how to speak to crowds.
Each summer, the Aquarium accepts 65 “aquateens” from Boston and Cambridge . In addition to learning about barracudas and sting rays, the teens participate in college preparation courses and career development programs.
While Baker is greeting visitors to the aquarium’s giant ocean tank, Mendez, also 17, and an incoming junior at City on a Hill, has been taking the aquarium to the city.
As part of the aquarium’s community program, he brings hermit crabs, starfish, sea urchins and sometimes lobsters to Boys and Girls clubs and youth programs throughout Boston .
Both Baker and Mendez live in Dorchester . And they say that as they travel to and from work each day, their new public speaking skills are coming in handy.
When fellow T passengers see their aquarium volunteer shirts, “they always say, ‘Wow, that must be a great job,’ ” said Baker, who will be a junior at the Urban Science Academy in Boston this fall.
“I tell them, ‘Yes, it is,’ ” she said.

Jambo Afrikan Family,

But these words will be used all e-mails and correspondences from here on out until what is said comes to fruition.

As soon as possible please go to these websites and vote for our brother Yaw Nkhansah also known as Joseph Edelin. Real powerful Afrikan Teacher in Atlanta who has had his students pass the statewide exam every year, has made the KIPP Academy in Atlanta be referred to as the Afrikan centered KIPP and was featured in Ebony a couple months back (The one with Barack on the cover) for bringing his entire class of 60 or more students to Ghana.

Please find an article attached written on being "mixed" since this seems to be a major issue people are dealing with today that comes up at a lot of Afrikan meetings. You will also find a couple of Powerpoint slides.

Thoughts to Consider from Dr. Amos Wilson: The Falsification of Afrikan Consciousness: Eurocentric History, Psychiatry and the Politics of White Supremacy

"Domination as a social fact and situation necessarily disorders and reorders the thoughts, feelings, emotions, motivations, values, psychological states, and consequently the consciousness and behavior of the dominated....The normalization of pathology is exquisitely functional for oppressive regimes. It is for this productive reason that oppressive White supremacy always attempts to rationalize its oppression of Blacks by normalizing their reactionary, pathological, Eurocentric consciousness and behavior and simultaneously abnormalizing both the reactionary and proactionary, non pathological and pathological Afrocentric consciousness and behavior with regard to their political-economic functionality for maintaining white dominance."(p.. 106)

"White Supremacy is to a large extent founded on the social amnesia of subordinate Blacks." (p. 121)

"The subordinated Afrikan is hardly aware that his psyche, consciousness, and behavior have been subverted and misdirected by eurocentrically-conditioned operation of anxiety and its related psychological aftereffects (other symptoms). White supremacy works most efficiently when subordinated Afrikans feel that they have freely chosen to think and behave the way they do when in actuality they have been subliminally compelled to do so by the psychopolitical machinations of their white oppressors. Thus, the subordinated Afrikan feels freest when he is most controlled. And his pursuit of apparent freedom is often the pursuit of unapparent enslavement. (p 129)

Frustration Denied

I often tire
of fighting
for a people
who believe
in their enemies
even more
than their enemies
believe in themselves.
It is not easy
to work
toward
the enlightenment
of a people
hell-bent
on destroying themselves
as a personal favor
to those
they seek validation through
and even a semblance
of conditional love
from,
a people determined
to live
with their murders,
rapists,
diseducators,
destroyers,
to sleep with them,
to eat out of their plates
and off their floors.
We have grown comfortable
in
the company
of death.
It is hard
to make a people understand
an innate evil
that thrives
on chaos
when they only recognize
that other's "truth."

It is not easy
to be Afrikan
in an anti-Afrikan reality.
It wears at you.
It tears at you.
It can make you question
the depth
of your sanity,
the purpose
of your mission.
It makes peace
nigh impossible.
But I
would rather die
a warrior
in service
to my ancestors
and descendants
than live
the lie
of a slave
fallen
to the unrelenting pressure
of europeans, negroes and lost souls
calling us
to commit treason
against the Creator.
Spirit
is what I answer to.
Spirit
is what strengthens me
through my weariness.

Struggle,
with vision,
produces resilience.
It creates power.
It brings a warrior's peace,
a peace that lies
only
on the battlefield of justice,
not the bed
of forgiveness
and forgetfulness. ..
Forgiveness
will not cease
their destruction
and
if we forget
we will not
be able
to find our way home.
To be engaged in battle
when what the enemy has already done
to our souls,
minds,
bodies
should have made
any revolutionary thought
impossible
is how
I know
we have already won.
The Universe
does correct itself
(through us).
Ma'at is justice.
