I don't understand how science can be "western" or "african". Science at its root is simply a pursuit of truth that we carry out through quantitative measurements and observations. How can that be racist or colonial?
Anthropologist Suzanne Leclerc-Madlala says the myth is a potential factor in infant rape by HIV-positive men in South Africa.[2] In addition to young girls, who are presumed to be virgins because of their age, people who are "blind, deaf, physically impaired, intellectually disabled, or who have mental-health disabilities" are sometimes raped under the erroneous presumption that individuals with disabilities are sexually inactive and therefore virgins.[1]
They were talking about "decolonizing science" and saying how a shaman can cast a curse on someone to have lightning strike them. You can't make this shit up. These people sound like a 19th century phrenologist describing the "savage race" in Africa and their beliefs in wicked voodoo magic. Who needs white supremacists when you have SJWs to set you back 500 years?
Her comment presumed that this actually can be done, so how do you explain that with your western so-called "science", hmm? Hmm?
OMG. If you begin from a flawed premise, the outcome cannot be fixed without refuting the premise. And that means rejecting what they "know" to be true.
That is a very difficult situation. There are none so blind as those who will not see.
China? The Bolsheviks and their descendants started this and have maintained it for a century now. China has gotten in on it, but the primary perpetrators are the same people who killed 60 million Russians.
If this were a novel, the surprise villain pulling the strings of these marionettes would be cyborg George Lincoln Rockwell.
But reality is more often disappointing. At least fiction would explain this surprising white exceptionalism rhetoric (of course their idea is whites are exceptionally bad but y’all get my drift).
Sadly, the view of the teacher is far from unique.

raping a virgin child also cures aids. also cargo cults.
Also having a 13 year old drink the elders cum makes them a man. That's African science for you.
And also raping virgins cures AIDS.
Like this ( from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_cleansing_myth ):
And that's why there's advanced science, folks
So the species can survive the backwardness of primitive humans
Also, the heads of bald men have gold inside them!
Exactly, why are they so obsessed with "white fragility?" Projection.
And in fact know that given a million years would never have figured it out.
If you look at the whole, movement, they glorify all 7.

Another way to put that is that some of the least-PC people in history have been proven right by late modern events.
Of course this is happened in South Africa. Communism is cancer holy shit
Communism is just one variant of Leftism. All Leftists, including libertarians, will get there eventually.
"A Communist is just a Democrat in a hurry."
This is how China takes the US out. Destroy STEM R&D with critical race theory. We are failing, the subversion is spreading.

Also we have to hire based on race. Not the best person for the job.
