Economic sanctions and military force
Answer:
This eurocentric idea not only denies us all of a full understanding of human history by erasing Africa´s role as the birthplace of human and civilized life but is also the basis for racism in the present.
Furthermore, it leads to the distortion of both African traditional religions and scientific ideas.
Explanation:
The eurocentric appropriation and even erasure of African history lead to a distorted conception of history that denies Africa as the cradle of ancient Egyptian civilization which is a key element to understand human development.
It also is the basis of racist ideas that served slavery in the past and is still present today.
Finally, the European philosophies and technological development have been profoundly influenced by Africa, and this appropriation has been the basis for an exploitative system that doesn´t recognize Africa´s role in religious ideas and scientific concepts that are still relevant in the present.
Answer:
W. E. B. Du Bois was an important American thinker: a poet, philosopher, economic historian, sociologist, and social critic. His work resists easy classification. This article focuses exclusively on Du Bois’ contribution to philosophy; but the reader must keep in mind throughout that Du Bois is more than a philosopher; he is, for many, a great social leader. His extensive efforts all bend toward a common goal, the equality of colored people. His philosophy is significant today because it addresses what many would argue is the real world problem of white domination. So long as racist white privilege exists, and suppresses the dreams and the freedoms of human beings, so long will Du Bois be relevant as a thinker, for he, more than almost any other, employed thought in the service of exposing this privilege, and worked to eliminate it in the service of a greater humanity. Du Bois’ pragmatist philosophy, as well as his other work, underlies and supports this larger social aim. Later in life, Du Bois turned to communism as the means to achieve equality. He envisioned communism as a society that promoted the well being of all its members, not simply a few. Du Bois came to believe that the economic condition of Africans and African-Americans was one of the primary modes of their oppression, and that a more equitable distribution of wealth, as advanced by Marx, was the remedy for the situation.
