Addendum: the argument that education limits knowledge/understanding points to the romantic notion of #NarrativeInnateAbility. In some ways, the logic isn't dissimilar to #IndivPhilosopherJacquesLacan paradox of #TheoryTheReal i.e. https://www.cla.purdue.edu/academic/english/theory/psychoanalysis/definitions/real.html Where essentially, it's impossible to simultaneously exist 'outside of culture' (such as in the case of neonatal children) and also exist 'in culture' through having the facility to communicate meaning to others. In this sense, the cartoon points to #PleaUnlearning

Addendum: #NarrativeInnateAbility - because of course, knowledge is innate and divinely bestowed, and certainly not the product of accumulated wisdom and training. This is not to say, that education isn't situated ideologically. The animation is just another restatement of the #NarrativeGenius: http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3604 #PleaUnlearning

Addendum: this points to the assumed authority of direct, lived experience over informed judgement i.e. being Black automatically makes you an expert of Black issues (just as being French makes you an expert of everything French, or being a child or being middle-aged makes you an expert of what it means to be these ages). While lived experience certainly provides intrinsic insight, full awareness requires the critical (and intellectual) ability to interpret and formulate more profound understandings/interpretations.
The image confuses these issues however, through the use of the pejorative, stereotypical #MetaphorWokeLiberal i.e. the poster's issue is really with woke liberals and not race issues (presumably because such values challenge their world-view).
While this might have a specific, US-localised interpretation (such as a more general criticism of US #LiteralSchoolPublic), it seems more likely that it a case of the #NarrativeInnateAbility i.e. the epistemological belief in the authority of innate ability over 'cultured' understanding (e.g. Foucault). This seems to be relevant here: http://www.leeds.ac.uk/educol/documents/000000859.htm
Michel Foucault's perspective is that "ideas and meanings are already there and the author's role is to 'choose,' to filter and synthesise to create output." http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3604 #PleaUnlearning #LiteralSchoolCollegeUniversity
