Since we are so naturally in tune with nature, its automatically genetic. However, here in the west we are not familiar with this aspect of our being.

Just another feeble attempt at making Africans feel good about their "accomplishments". These people couldn't count past 20 (their number of fingers and toes) but they are responsible for some deep thinking fractal math.

Suuuuuuuuuuuure.

I had a college professor in History said, "as of the 15 century the white man was the dumbs man on earth."

giving credit to race perpetuates race distinction when we all integrate who will take credit for african culture? rhetorical

CHURRRRCCHHHHH!!! PREACHHH!! SPEAK THE TRUTH.

Funny how he makes a note to say that "it's not in the DNA".

But he later mentions how he thinks it's mostly based upon pure intuition.

And if you can't decode that......you're really lost.

Of course it's in our DNA! As melanated beings who are the ONLY group of humans to be produced by "Mother Nature" and NOT a mutation, we are directly linked to our mother, the universe, and their laws. It's so much in our DNA that we live it out instinctively....naturally....­.intuitively.

This stuff is facinating!! Complexity in simplicity!
