The universality and the objective framework of logic is taken as normative, even though traditional formal logic developed in Europe. This destabilises and devalues other epistemologies, such as African epistemic frameworks. Black people, prior to European colonisation and subjugation, had no concept of logic in the traditional European sense, obviously. Black ways of knowing came from systems which were relational, communal, and spiritual. By European standards, these ways of knowing would be considered irrational because the very concept of rationality is steeped in the European ideal of a civilised white male. African men were viewed by white colonisers as uncivilised, therefore irrational, which contributed to the genocide of their epistemology. The de-legitimisation of black ways of knowing and black epistemological frameworks contributes also to the perceived problems African refugees cause to white Europeans. If African men are separated from the whiteness of logic and reason, which many African refugees are, then it poses a problem for the systemic white supremacy embedded in European structures of power like politics and the judiciary system.

That's okay and it's a good thing. Further incontrovertible proof that blacks are not compatible with white societies. They have to go back.

If blacks are equals to other races, why didn't they just invent logic first?

It is just that the oppression of black frameworks of thought by white supremacist structures causes Black-white tensions. If we push for more inclusive philosophical discourse, then it will be a step to relieving tensions. So, instead of learning Kant, perhaps learn Kwame Gyekye for a change.

Different material conditions.

Logic is a mental state.
Even Native Americans, who didn't figure out guns despite being at war with each other all the time, learned how to fight infections with tree bark.
What do blacks have? A history of not even being smart enough to copy their colonizers?

Indians figured out logic.
Indians figured out the Pythagorean Theorem before Pythagoras.
Indians figured out deduction incompleteness before Godel.
Indians taught the world math as we know it. Where is the India supremacy award?

Indians did not impose their ideas forcefully onto Africans. Perhaps you can assess the British subjugation of Indian thought and intellectual traditions, and their theft of it, through the lens of post-colonialist theory.

This is meant to degrade European Logic but is actually incredibly racist towards Africans. Were the Germanic tribes ways of knowing from systems which were relational, communal, and spiritual better than the Romans? The Greeks?

No, logic is a system of symbolic and defunitional. Discovering medicines or impressive technical feats doesn't, on its own, indicate any propensity or talent for logical reasoning.

If those people were White, Protestant hicks from Arkansas or some shit we would be talking about how their “logic” is backwards, uncivilized, racist, and le bad. That they’re reactionary and they need to progress and change their ways. But because they’re black African hicks it’s actually le good and simply misunderstood by le west.

Those "ways of knowing" are simply the default mode for any primitive society, and have been present in every culture including European. The slow, strenuous development of logic and empiricism is the one unique advance of the latter, and has led to superiority over not only every other culture but all of them put together, although East Asians get a honorable nod.

I never understood this. You wouldn't go to China and say they have Chinese privilege? Like no shit a country based out X culture is gonna benefit X people

I hear this a lot and think that black people should all be deported back to Africa where they will be allowed to practice building societies as they please free of European time constrained, logistical, capital, and maintenance centric ways of thinking. Away from whites.

I would wager its rejection is the root of intersectionality. An entire philosophy build and died on the hill that David Hume and Arthur Schopenhauer built. That being said, why ought the virile European man act the same way? If the ignorance of "systems, bylaws, and property" is the root of intersectional thought, and the outpacing of reproductive success by them outpaces that of Europeans, why fix whats broken? One can state that sexual assault is an "African mentality" but has the opposite really helped us in those matters?

you do realise there are western philosophers who also don't center logic, right? you blacks are just as ignorant of whites and whites are of blacks

so learn a weirdo who doesn't properly represent african philosophy? ok
