[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by kdolo: [qb] Clyde, your theory is wrong. the proof. JAPAN. Japan sent scores to be educated in the West after the disaster the encountered with Commodore Perry. Upon return, they placed those returnees in positions of authority immediately with explicit directions to modernize Japan in all main aspects. Within 50 years or so Japan went from medieval to modern industrial state powerful enough to defeat a Western state. The problem then with African states is other than what you suggest....is it possible that not enough Africans have been educated at a high level in the West and then are not put into positions of authority or given directions to help make their societies moee competitive. I believe the latter to be the case because Blacks, both in the West and Africa tend to suffer from a chronic anti intellectualism that the East Asian do not suffer from. Instead of studying 'the man' and borrowing from him practices that may make you more competitive, Blacks would reject the premise that their is anything to learn outright. (See typical Afrixan respinse to Mike's theories) In many Black cultures, even displaying an intellectual bent is considered to be 'acting white'....and that is said as an insult. [/qb][/QUOTE]My theory is correct. The Japanese were never colonized. After the Japanese forced out the Portuguese they did not allow Westerners back into Japan until the Meiji era. During the Meiji the Japanese began to send out students to the West to learn about Western technology. The Japanese who acquired these western skills were never made leaders of anything. They taught the skills to others.Their supervisors were always Japanese nurtured in Japan. In this way the Japanese was able to control the spread of Western Knowledge. By not allowing the Westernized Japanese to hold prominent positions Japanese recognized that they had to attain merit through the Japanese traditions. Not simply by obtaining Western training.
