afrocentric schooling

The recent talk by Raton was the second time I heard him speak.
What was most striking to me was his rhetoric. One of my friends called it nationalist.
he said that he found it hard to believe that it was an African identity Raton was selling because there are so many nations of Africa how can one have an identity that encompases all.

his school works, because students go- but I think that-after seeing him speak twice- his rhetoric is used to acculturate people into this very strick mind set.

In this video- I will have a loop that will play a portion of his speeh. certains words will be repeated and relooped subtly to draw attention to the repition and tone of his rhetoric and the effect it creates.
