  If Molefi sends his articles to ghanaweb himself, such a mistake will not occur. The webmasters think the article was written by the one who sent it - you.

  Low IQ , that is garbage . Kludje is among the best with an IQ of 70? Then Fox Bat , so if he is a socialist , then what? You are confused and an example of what he talks about. Eurocenterd and BRAINWASHED

  Hello Brothers (Kojo T/Kafui Kaetozena),
  
  Thanks for the good job you guys are doing here.
  
  I have read through the comments and can tell you on authority who here is most likely to have the lowest of IQs and the highest of IQs. Therefore, we should not ask anyone here to tell us about his or her IQ.
  
  I say this not on behalf of Dr. Molefi Kete Asante but on my own belalf.Sometimes, I mean, sometimes, you can tell a person's IQ by the way that person thinks and reasons.
  
  Anyway, the article clearly says Dr. Asante is not a communist or socialist. Why then could a reader attribute this to him? Again, this is one way you can predict a person's IQ.
  
  IQ tests are programmed to do exactly that, that is, cleverly putting things boldly right before one's naked eyes and asking whether one sees it or not. We are not assuming anyone here is either mentally or visually blind!
  
  Kojo T has made that abubdantly clear. Ave Kludze does not score high on IQ tests but he is one of the best in the world. I have proifled some of these African intellectuals here on Ghanaweb myself. I have also discussed the sientific sham of IQ test as a reliable predictor of human intelligence. In fact, IQ has nothing to do with intelleigence. Moreover, left to IQ figures alone, Albert Einstein (who scored low on IQ), one of the world's gifted plagiarists, will not be a genius.
  
  Ironically, there are so many humans (black people) with low IQs, yet happen to count among the world's best scientists, mathematicians, philosphers,etc (I can literally list hundreds).
  
  Yet there are great numbers of Whites and Asians with low IQs but who still count among the best in the world. IQ is a pseudoscience and takes after the science of alchemy in medieval Europe.
  
  Finally, regarding my good friend's (Kafui Kaetozena) references, I will encourage readers to take a critical look at them. Except for the first one which I have not read, I shall say the others are the best you can probably find on the African roots of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
  
  Therefore, I encourage those who have not read them to get them. Kafui, thanks a lot for mentioning them here. Kojo T, thanks a lot.
  
  I shall ask readers to see my articles "The Best Educational Formula for the African (lll)" and "Great Lessons from Dr. Yaw Nyarko's Work" for authoritative references on scientific controversies surrounding IQ. Those still not satisfied can personally contact me via(franciskkwarteng@yahoo.com). You will surely undertsand the scientific politics behind IQ tests. In fact, most of my accomplished white professors in New York whom I have been personally close to scored low on IQ tests at various stages of their intellectual/academic lives.
  
  Again, this is my personal take on the issues, not Dr. Asante's.
  
  Thanks.

  Thanks Francis!
  I was about to go at length to explain these limitations of IQ test and the white supremacists politics of it. The French scientist-- Alfred Binet (who invent this model) never suggested that IQ test is equal to intelligence. In fact, he believes that intelligence is not constant. According him, it increases and changes as one grows. He therefore develops this model to help children who for various reasons are lagging behind their peers in academic pursuit in the same environment. The model was ceased by the eugenics movement (who having failed to develop their own mental test over the years) to measure and propagate black mental inferiority vis-a-vis white superiority.

  Biological functions are common characteristics of all living things. Some try to maximize functioning at the expense of others, and this is not foreign to the African culture either. There is nothing wrong with Christianity. Christianity helps to improve interpersonal relationships by making us realize that the creator is the source of all provision.

  Hello my friend, there are too many things wrong with Christianity! You want to bet? But, before then, I would want you to do some few researches. Please read the following books in the order I am listing them:
  1. Breakthrough To Enlightenment, Discover The Deception Behind Religion And The Occult - Alexander Tracy; 2. Man, God And Civilization - John Jackson; 3. The Calendar - David E. Duncan. Today Christianity could have been charged for plagiarism. You will discover how the concept of Jesus Christ was manufactured at the Council of Nicaea in 325AD. Please contact me for us to chart the way for our own kind; and indeed, that has been the essence of the writer, Francis Kwarteng:kaankaetozena@gmail.com

  Is Afrocentrism a hate movement towards the white race ? I for one have never really understood why People of Africa decent have always go in for others people's culture? I seek not to judge any race but how come all over the world the black race has been almost at a disadvantage? Is it that we as a people have failed ourselves or what?

  Afrocentricism is not a hate to white races. It's an academic theory that seek explain african phenomena from the view point of africans but not an outsider who claims to be expert on Africa issues than Africans. if have you taken your time to digest dr.

  I didn't read Kwarteng's disclaimer. I hereby withdraw my call for celebration. Kwarteng didn't write this article. If he had, it would have been at least 4000 words long with quotations from far more persons than just the late C. L. R. James. Then I'll advise Kwarteng to pick a leaf from his hero - write short straight to the point articles that do not have to quote every writer and singer he has ever read or heard.
