ProverbThe animal on the left is not only teaching...he is teaching the most important thing: survival. He is clearly hungry. So his instruction is a benefit to the student and the teacher. Black folks can not teach their children this way (here). It is forbidden by beast-heart.

Surrealism and Black African
Art
The
surrealist aspects of the African way of life, as well as the African
implications of surrealism, have tended to be ignored for reasons already
touched on. Instead of the alienating
dualistic intellectualization that usually defines the headlines of European
social practice, black Africans enjoyed the presence of the practice of poetry
throughout the totality of their traditional social life. In Africa, that is,
the living experience of surreality has since
prehistoric times enjoyed supremacy over its theoretical justification. In the
Western world, however, surrealism is the result of a long philosophical,
political, scientific and poetic struggle to recover what the traditional
African has never lost. A gainst all
forms of indifference and misery, surrealism and black African art remain irreducible examples in the
development of the complete unfettering of the mind. Surrealism and black
African art show that History’s last step—the step beyond History—coincides with a return to first principles, which is also a return to
primordial glory, involving nothing less than the systematic and definitive liberation of the whole of
human society and of Nature itself.

Mmm... What does it Really mean.
"Perhaps the most frightening problem is not trying to figure out what to do about Black children who do poorly in schools and on tests. Perhaps the most frightening problem is demonstrated in the form of a question: What does it mean for a Black child to perform well within a school system and on standardized tests that are historically and inherently designed to prove and maintain white supremacy?"
