My father built our home..it was a brick ranch home outside of Detroit. Then he built an addition on to the house. As a child there was the go-kart which was to my claim. Later after graduating from MSU and watching, observing how white people organize and build things, made me so amazed. Sure black people can build homes but it differant. These complex machines, electromagnetic coupled to fiber optics with all sort of hydraulics and pneumatics made me focus on what this white man was doing. He was building. No matter their religion, way of life, s*xual persuasian, creed these white people were building. My training as a Muslim was that once you learn something then and only then you can learn how to make it better. In addition it opens your scope of possibilities of creating technologies that might have similar structure but differant actions. Point is that even though some of my neighbors were white people, my family did not pick up most of their ways: they let a dog come into their house....we did not that is no dog have ever been in our house...nor my house to this day. They like to drink beer...I prefer limonade. White people like to eat cold meat. All my meat that I eat must be cooked...and thoroughly cooked at that. But when it comes to building...they can build...but my thoughts is to build that which will not pollute the air...build that which does not emit hydrocarbons that will contribute to cancer. A differant concept in building...that which will be friendly with the planet Earth.
