The Power of Black Creationism

As I find it a great need to address the plight of the African American male, I must first take into consideration the American in general.  For hundreds of years, the African American human being, has learned to adapt to the climate of American living.  The generalized American was granted certain amenities to make life more sustainable; the African American went against the societal grain and created his own amenities for mere survival. The African American way of life WAS to CREATE that in which you NEED. Somewhere along the line, we have lost our zeal to create, but the artistry of adaptation has taken root in our lineage and it has branched out into the generation.  This is a remarkable trait, one of many, that links us together.

However, this is not enough.  It is only through creationism, that we can change the reality that plagues us.  It is only through creationism that the great poets of the Harlem Renaissance can transform a Harlem concrete jungle into an artistic haven of pure brilliance.  It is only through creationism that African Americans, stuck in the slums and ghettos of major cities across the country, can demand the benefits of self-education and birth forth ingenious activity.  Through creationism, we breath on the future of our coming generations and declare greatness over their footsteps.  It is only through creationism that YOU make your SURROUNDINGS/ENVIRONMENT become a product of YOU. Adaptation plus creationism is the true foundation of African American existence.  What are you creating? and more importantly, what are you allowing yourself to adapt to?

Wake up my people and Peace be upon you all,

Blake E. Odum

Nice article as for me. It would be great to read something more concerning this theme. The only thing it would also be great to see on this blog is some pics of some gadgets.
