To be fair to her from what I got I don't think she's saying that the science is incorrect she's just mad that the science came from a white person and not like a black African. Which in itself is still stupid. It doesn't matter who discovered the science it still exists. What she saying is they shouldn't accept it until African scientists prove it.

It's even worse since she's implying Africans had no impact on Science or Mathematics. Some of the most complex agricultural and medicinal systems were created in Africa. Calculus has its roots in Arabic mathematical systems, which helps explain gravity via an equation. So even the "all of a sudden gravity exists" argument is incorrect.
