Black People = Natural Geniuses

Comparison of African and European Pyschomotor Development

1. Two (2) days old, with head held firmly, looking into the face of the examiner; the European child (8) eight weeks.

2. Seven (7) weeks old, supporting herself in a sitting position and watching her reflection in the mirror; the European child twenty (20) weeks.

3. Five (5) months old, holding herself upright; the European child nine (9) months.

“The Black man being the first man to walk this earth, to establish civilizations, to build institutions, governments and so forth, I think it’s still genetically represented in the Black child.”

~ Amos N. Wilson (author of Awakening the Natural Genius of Black Children)


What you see above are some of the results found in a study on the development of black and white children. If the three comparisons that I posted don’t paint a certain picture for you, I’ll go ahead and paint the obvious one.

What’s obvious about the research revealed in this study is that black babies develop faster than white babies showing the possession of natural genius. Now, isn’t this something wonderful to hear? I think this is great news … but wait! Black people are natural geniuses, and we compare ourselves to our white counterparts for evaluation. Why do we compare ourselves to people who are naturally inferior?

Examining yourself on a scale that’s beneath your full potential places you on a scale for failure. We shouldn’t compare our intelligence to that of others because their best is less than what our best could be. We need to develop standards that do not include or compare to white people. If not, we’ll always fall short .

Last note: If we’re natural geniuses, you must wonder how do we fall behind as children. The study revealed that black babies can do many things before white babies, but black children fall short because the genius isn’t stimulated. I know you’ve heard relatives talk about their babies saying “they’re too grown” or “they’re too fast.” The truth is that they’re too smart. Too smart because they’re little geniuses.

The little black geniuses fall short at about age three (3). This age is when language becomes important. Many blacks don’t speak standard American English well, and they pass this on to their children. I’m not saying to let go of e-bonics and other dialects that are prominent in our culture, but if black children are to compete for survival in this country, this is something to think about.

Lastly, if you’re a black adult, it’s not too late to stimulate your genius either. Read a book!

Until next time.

Peace, Love & Transcendence.

What Can We Learn From Kids?

"Child prodigy Adora Svitak says the world needs "childish" thinking: bold ideas, wild creativity and especially optimism. Kids' big dreams deserve high expectations, she says, starting with grownups' willingness to learn from children as much as to teach."



We often silence children and stifle their creativity. If we didn't limit them and instead challenged them, what type of a future would we create? Could the Utopian society that children often imagine be a possibility? Is the reason that children always have such an ideal view of the world because of the fact that there really are NO limits?

I believe that all human beings are ultimately capable and will respond on a level that you challenge them to become. Adora is an example of a mother and father that challenged their daughter and look how articulate she is. . and with such CONFIDENCE she speaks in front of THOUSANDS.

Here's a quote I received in an email update that aI forwarded to a friend of mine who recently became a father:

Children coming forth today have a greater capacity to deal with the greater variety of information that is coming forward than you did. They deliberately are coming forth into this environment where there is more to contemplate. This generation gap that you are talking about, it has ever been thus. Each new generation, every new individual, that comes forth, is coming with you having prepared a different platform for them to proceed from. There is this thing that gets in the way of that that says, "I'm the parent. I got here first. I know more than you do." From the children's perspective, and from the purity of their Nonphysical Perspective, what they are saying is, "You're the parent. You got here first. You prepared a platform that I am leaping off from -- and my leap will be beyond anything that you have ever known."

Think about how savvy our generation is with cell phones and computers and how much of a challenge it is for older generations to pick up on the things that are going on.

Think about the job market and how newspapers are going out of business and thousands of people are getting laid out for kids fresh out of college who were around and know what a BLOG is!

Children are the future. Listen.
