296 Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biographycradle with objects being hung over his or her head to help them determine colors and shape to
the solitude in a carrel in a Ph.D. program stuffed off somewhere in a corner in absolute
quietness to absorb from the object. From a block to a book, an object. That is one way of
learning, but it is only one way of learning. African and African-American children have a
different way of learning. They are right brained, subject oriented in their learning style. Right
brain that means creative and intuitive. Subject oriented means they learn from a subject, not an
object. They learn from a person. Some of you are old enough, I see your hair color, to
remember when the NAACP won that tremendous desegregation case back in 1954 and when
the schools were desegregated. They were never integrated. When they were desegregated in
Philadelphia, several of the white teachers in my school freaked out. Why? Because black kids
wouldn’t stay in their place. Over there behind the desk, black kids climbed up all on them.
Because they learn from a subject, not from an object. Tell me a story. They have a different
way of learning. Those same children who have difficulty reading from an object and who are
labeled EMH, DMH and ADD. Those children can say every word from every song on every
hip hop radio station half of who’s words the average adult here tonight cannot understand.
Why? Because they come from a right-brained creative oral culture like the (greos?) [sic] in
Africa who can go for two or three days as oral repositories of a people’s history and like the
oral tradition which passed down the first five books in our Jewish bible, our Christian Bible,
our Hebrew bible long before there was a written Hebrew script or alphabet. And repeat
incredulously long passages like Psalm 119 using mnemonic devices using eight line stanzas.
Each stanza starting with a different letter of the alphabet. That is a different way of learning.
It’s not deficient, it is just different. Somebody say different. I believe that a change is going to
come because many of us are committed to changing how we see other people who are
different. What Dr. Janice Hale did in the field of education, Dr. Geneva Smitherman did in the
field of linguistics.^152
When Wright says the right brain is intuitive, he means irrational. When he says the left brain is
logical, he is attacking reason. Not content with destroying the unity of world history by carving it
up into a multitude of hermetically sealed cultures in the manner of Oswald Spengler, modern
foundation-funded “race science” also attempts to demolish the unity of human reason. In reality,
human reason is the single invariant factor which can be observed at work in every society from the
emergence of humans down to the present day. It is a true universal, necessary and present in every
individual. It is present in Plato and in Confucius, in the Egypt of Akhnaton and in the Baghdad of
Haroun al Rashid, and it is neither eastern nor western, neither northern nor southern, neither black
nor white. It is present from Thales to Dr. George Washington Carver. It belongs to no race, and has
no color.
To attempt to mutilate or deform this universal reason is the greatest act of vandalism against
humanity that is possible, and it is likely to bring on catastrophic consequences that go far beyond
the world of ideas. This is what the foundation-funded racists, obscurantists, irrationalists, and
mythmongers are attempting to do. Wright is their publicist, and Barack and Michelle are the
fanatical cadre they have formed. Do Hale and Smitherman know that they are converging with
Gumplowitz, Houston S. Chamberlain and Alfred Rosenberg? They may or may not, but that is
what they are doing. Foundation-funded race theory is a desolate path that leads into the abyss of
blood consciousness. It should also be clear that the left brain-right brain mumbo-jumbo is the
mirror image of the Robert Herrnstein - Charles Murray Bell Curve racism, but decked out in
radical rhetoric to make it seem liberating and thus acceptable to the black community.
