That statement reminds me of something both Dr Ben & Dr Clarke use to remind us about: Les, the truth is, many of us in the West - especially among Black historians/Afrocentric scholars etc., - know more about Ancient African civilizations than ordinary folks living in countries like Ethiopia, Somalia, Egypt, and particularly Sudan. They've been brainwashed just as much, if not more, in terms of the Eurocentric education that make up most of their school syllabuses etc. So how do they come clean?
Of course it's changing now but there's lots of work to be done before they can "come clean".
There was a program on PBS some time ago addressing the lack of knowledge among many Sudanese who had no clue that at one time their people ruled Egypt, and was a successful dynasty (kush?) etc etc.
I'll you one thing, the Black World better wake up very very quickly because the new imperialism will be worse than the previous one.
